Mr.. Abel, of West Haven, said that this
was case where everybody wanted the

From committee on public buildings, on
the resolution requiring them to inquire
into the expediency and necessity of pro-
viding better accommodations for the state
library, the state cabinet, the collections of
the Vermont Historical society, and also
for additional committee rooms, and for
better ventilation of the Representatives
Hall and Senate Chamber; reported unan-
imously that they have considered the same,
and find that the present library room is
entirely inadequate to the purpose for which
u was luleIucuy tutTc DcluB ChpdCllt
for more than two-thirds Of the books now
on hand: and that the increase OF the IL
brary is at the rate of about eight hundred
volumes year; and that there is no place
in the present capitol suitable for storing
and preserving from injury that part of the
library not contained in the library room.
The committee also find that the state
cabinet collection is in much the same sit
uation as the library, and that larger ac-
commodations are imperatively required.
Also, that there is no suitable space in
the present capitol that can be appropriated
to the use of the valuable collections of
the Vermont Historical society, in which
the state owns an interest.
Also, that three or four additional COM
mittee rooms, store room, a wash room,
and packing room, in connection with the
library, are much needed.
Also that the ventilation of the Repre-
sentatlves' Hall and Senate Chamber, is
very deficient
Your committee would, therefore, rec
ommend the erection of an addition to the
present capitol building, to meet the wants
and necessities already specified; and your
committee offer the accompanying bill and
recommend its passage.
II. 22S, to provide for building an ad-
dition to the State House. The bill ap-
propriates 100000 for the addition pro-
posed by the committee, and the Governor
is authorized and directed to appoint CON-
mittee of three to prepare plan, accord
ing to which such addition and repairs are
to be made; the plan, when prepared, to be
approved by the Governor; and the COM
mittee are to appoint some suitable person
to superintend the making of such addit-
ion and repairs agreeably to the plan adopt
ed.

On motion of Mr.. Whitcomb, OF Essex,

AFTERNOON.
Reports. committee on manufac-
lures, on the proposed recipIo cily treaty
with Canada. The report is full and de-
tailed statement of the provisions of the
treaty and the effect its adoption would
have upon the manufacturing interests of
the State and the committee, after a care
full consideration of the treaty, arrive at
the conclusion that its adoption would tend
to practically close the doors of many of
the largest manufacturing interests in the
state. Especially would this be the case
in the articles of slate, leather, all articles
made in whole or in part of iron and steel
and all articles manufactured of wool.
Many other articles are mentioned Incl.
dentally.
The committee recommend the adoption
of the joint resolutions opposing the adop-
ton of the treaty, now before this house.
Mr. Grout of Bartin moved that the re-
port be ordered to lie, and that the clerk
be directed to procure the printing of 500
copies thereof for the use of the house
which was agreed to.
The committee on agriculture not being
ready to report as,yet, the consideration OF
the joint resolutions on reciprocity was
postponed for the present, the same having
previously been made special order for thi.
afternoon.
From special committee by n majority
against and 80 to amend Sec. 3 Chap. rs
relating to interest.
Mr.. Gillett of Richmond, said he was il
the minority in the committee, and wished
to state that state treasurer Page and au-
ditor Ferrin were before the committee
and stated that the law as it now stands
tends to drive capital out of the state. II,
would not attempt to argue the question
but was decidedly in favor of the bill.

bill be ordered to lie and be made the spec
ial order for half past two O'Clock on Wed
nesday afternoon, which WIS disagreed 10
Mr.. Hyde of Castleton, and Mr.. Smalle,
of Burlington both favored the immediate
consideration of the bill.
Mr.. Davenport of Wilmington, said h,
didn't suppose it would do any good to sa,
anything on this bill. 1t seemed to be un
popular now, and he supposed it would b.
more so after lie had said what he had t,
on it. He thought the reason for scarcit
of money in Vermont was due wholly I,
our interest laws. Monied men would sen,
their money to those states where it coul,
be loaned at higher rate than six per cent
interest; and so long as they did that tn
laboring classes and the farming commun
ity are the sufferers. If capitalists coul
get eight per cent. here, they would no
