Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1870-10-26

Mr.. Grout of Barton, said the bill did
not allow the towns TO vote rum out OF the
town, but only to vote not to have an agent
in town. The tendency of such action would
be to increase the illicit traffic in liquors. III
the agency in town is allowed to become
tippliDg shop, it is because the moral sentl,
ment of the town allows of free sale oil
liquors. He thought the bill not promotlve
of the interests of temperance, and for that
reason was opposed to it. He demanded the
previous question.
The demand for the previous question was
seconded by the House. and on the main
question, shall the bill be read the third
time? MIR Day of Ira demanded the ayes
and nays, which were taken as follows ayes
GA, nays l55. So the third reading OF the
bill was refused by the House
Mr. Spear of Vershire called up House
10Y, to legaiize the grand list of the town OF
Vershire. Mr.. Phelps, chairman of the com
mittee on grand list, explained that the list
was made out and lodged in the town clerk 8
office, and subsequently, it being found that
some names were left off from the list, they
were added 1t is now sought to legalze
the list az corrected.
Mr.. Kellogg of Penson was opposed to
all such applications to legalize the lists of
towns whore the trouble mostly arose from
to the list, or dare not do so. He thought
more scrutiny should be exercised by the
committee and less of these bills be allowed
to slip through without any particular op-
position.
Mr. Hinckley of Chelsea, explained that
the bill met no opposition from any parties
in interest. The bill was then ordered to a
third reading.

luton.

his reasons thetefor-
Mr.. Grandey did not see tho slightest ne
