LEGISLATURE OF WEIR uONT'


HOUSE.
Mr.. Rowe of Poultney briefly favored the
bill.
Mr.. Lyndedrew from the committee the
fact that these buildings belonged to Mr..
Fairbanks, and said that, he believed, was
the key to the whole matter. There are
some buildings here for sale, and the state
is asked to purchase them.
Mr.. Parker of Waterbury favored the
bill.
Mr.. Munson of Manchester said that
he wanted something more than intimations
of wrong before he refused to support the
bill. He favored a similar bill two years
years ago, and see no reason why he should
not do so now. Some change in the bust
ness at that school is needed both for the
benefit of the boys and that SCHOOL, and we
better enlarge the business to enable the
state to derive some increase, If not profit,
from the labors of the boys.
This bill places the matter in the hands
of tho trustees, and he had confidence in
them that they would look out for the in
terests of the state. We better either take
the property ourselves or see that it is dis
posed of to others, so that the superintcnd-
ent Shall have no pecuniary interest in an
outside enterprise while he is in the employ
of the state.
THE WAR PICTURE.
Special order-Pending the consideration
of the bill, Mr.. Buell. of MIDI letown called
up s. 6S to pay Julian Scott the sum there
in named; and stated his position to be
that he was in favor of paying Mr.. Scott
something, and hoped the bill would be re-
considered to enable him to offer an amend
ment that would secure to Mr.. Scott some
rurther compensation, hut not the amount
now asked for in the bill.
On the motion to reconsider the vote re-
fusing the passage of the bill, Mr.. Daven-
port of Wilmington demanded the yeas and
nays which were taken. Ayes 14S, nays
80, so the motion reconsider was agreed to.
Mr.. Buell. of Middletown moved to pro-
pose to the senate to amend by striking out
the sum of $1,000 and insert the sum of
$4,000.
Mr.. Stocker voted against the passage Of
| the bill he now voted to reconsider but
he could not favor the proposed amend
| ment to pay $4,000. The majority of the
committee were in favor of paying Mr..
Scott something, and he would, in view of
| all the facts, agree to pay the sum of
81, 500 and no more.
Mr.. Perrin of Berlin said he had CON
cluded that he would vote to pay SO, 500
| but no more.
Mr.. Gillett of The,ford had voted steadi-
| " against paying Mr.. Scott ANYTHING, and
should continue to do so. He thought it an
unfortunate job, and we should refuse to
| paw any more.
Mr.. Amidcn of Winhall said if we pay
| Mr.. Scott anything, we should pay him
| S25 900, as they tell US the picture is worth
| that sum. For himself he did not think il
worth $500, and should not vote to nay
another cent. But to he consistent, if we
pay him anything, pay him what they clam
II is worth.
Mr.. King of Lunenburg said from his
present information he should not vote to
pay anything more than has been paid
HOUSE.
MONTPELIER, Tuesday, Nov. a.
MORNING SESSION.
Mr. Cook, of Mendon, said he would ia
vor the $4,000, or any other sum this house
shonld deem just to Mr.. Scott.
| Mr. Buell., of Middletown, thought the
sum of $4,000 would settle the matter, ant
| for all future time, and favored that sun
| for the purpose of final settlement.
| Mr.. Kennedy, of Fairfield, said he had {
| distinct recollection of the battle of Cedal
| Creek, and he thought the representation
| of it in the picture was very accurate. Thu
| changes from the original design to paint
picture of Fredericksburgh or Antietan
| and the substituting of the battle of Cedal
Greek has involved an extra expense to thu
full amount asked for in this bill. If thi,
house refuse to pay the sum named In tn,
bill, lie should be in favor of making it az
to him by the Vermont officers at their mex
reunion,
