HOUSE..

MI LullSuOIl, Ol montpelier, Tor COM
mittee on railroads, asked that H. 6, to
authorize the Bennington & Rutland
r. r, Co. to extend their road tn West
Rutland. be recommitted to the com
mittee, as there was misunderstanding
as to one of the amendments.
The Speaker ruled that the bill had
been ordered to lie on the table and
made the special order for half past two
O'Clock this pun, any action on the
matter would not be in order without re-
considering the vote ordering it to lie
and that, as more than "a hours had
elapsed since that vote was taken, it
could only be done by a suspension of
the rules.
MI. Park, of Bennington, moved that
the rule be suspended to enable the vote
to be recOnsidered, which was disagreed
to.
No further action could therefore be
had on the bill until half past two this
pm.

Mr.. Pingry, of Weathersfield, called
up II. 1893, to make provision for the sup
port of the Government the question
being on the amendment proposed by
him to strike out so much as authorizes
the payment of $40 per cent inter
est
Mr.. Park, of Bennington, said that
provision was put in the bills at the sug-
gestion of the State Treasurer, the same
provision having been in the bills of the
last two years. He stated fully the
reasons that had influenced the State
Treasurer in making this request, and
the benefit that had resulted from the
bills of last year. He said there seemed
to be an inconsistency in allowing the
Treasurer to pay a higher interest than
was allowed to private citizens, but to
enable the Treasurer to get the money
needed, it seems to be necessary.
Mr.. Pingry, of Weathersfield, said he
had consulted with the Treasurer, and
upon reflection he was willing that this
clause should be stricken out, as he could
probably obtain all the money he need
ed without that permission. He should
probably have to go out of the State for
the money, and he would have the right
to pay legal interest where the money
| is obtained.
Mr.. Miner, of Manchester, doubted il
the Treasurer would be authorized topay
more than per cent. if this clause Is
stricken out.
Mr.. Wheloc.l, of Berlin, said, if the
Treasurer is allowed to go out of the
State and pay m ore than 6 per cent. we
better allow him to obtain the money in
the State, from our own capitalists, and
pay them rs mnch as he would have TO
pay foreign capitalists.
Messrs. Park, of Bennington, and
