and also so that the imprisonment for first
offense shall be three months, and for Sec
ond and every subsequent offense not less
than six nor more than twelve months.
The first proposed amendment was dis
agreed to; ages 10 nays LOG.
The question then required on the third |
reading of the bill and on that question the |
yeas and nays were demanded by Mr.. Peck |
of Ira, and taken; ayes 90 nays 30. So the |
bill was read the third time and passed.
S. 81 directing the treasurer of the state |
of Vermont to restore to the treasury Of the
United States Of America the sum Of 1885,
so; was returned from the senate without
the concurrence of that body in the amend
ment proposed by the house. The qucs-
ton then being, will the house recede from
their proposal of amendment.
The proposition TO recedc was opposed
by Mr.. Abel of West Haven, Mr. Hyde,t
Castleton, Mr.. Fairman CT Wolco.t, Mr..
Kent of Dorset; it was favored by Mr..
ShuitleG of Plainfeld, Mr. Wells of Gran
by, Mr.. Munson of Manchester, Mr.. Grout
of Barton, Mr.. Abbott of Cabot. Mr.. Ladd
of Alburgh simply wanted to say that he
is in favor of keeping, this money in the
state, where he believed it belonged. He
should vote against returning the money
either to senator Morrill, or the United
States treasury.
The question being, will the House re-
cedo from their proposed amendment it
was disagreed to by very decided vote.
Mr.. Abel Of West Haven moved that
the senate be requested TO appoint COM
mittec Of conference; which was agreed
to, ayes SO, nays 80.
Mr.. Culver of Stockbiidge called up II.
81 in amendment OF and in addition to chap.
$50, S. relating to the grand list; the ques
ton being on tine adoption of the second
amendment proposed by the committee.
MIR. Gilett of Thetford moved the bill
be dismissed, which was agreed to-ayes 60
nays So.
Mr.. Ladd of Alburgh called up H.. ASP
in amendment of the second clause of sec.
4, chap. $50, S. entitled of the grand list.
Mr.. Davenport of Wilmington moved
that the bill be dismissed.
Mr.. Gilman of Montpelier said there are
some very suspicious things in connection
with this bill. 1t came from the committee
on the grand list without ever having been
referred to that committee. If we pass
this bill, it will internally exempt the stock
of all manufacturing establishments in this
state from taxation. He thought there was
mischief in the bill and hoped it would be
dismissed.
Mr.. Hyde of Castleton briefly supported
the bill as being just to our manufacturing
establishments.
Mr.. Blodgett of st. Johnsbury said the
bill gave to corporated company no more
than we claim and have for ourselves as
individuals simply to prevent property be-
ing taxed twice.
Mr. Grout of Barton agreed with Mr..
Blodgctt in his view of the bill-that all
that is sought is where a corporation has
| &c III, 6 bo etafa
and pay taxes on it there, so much of their
property may be deducted from their tax
able property in this state, that they may
not be compelled to pay taxes twice on the
same property. The case of the Messrs.
Fairbanks of st. Johnsbury had developed
defect in the present law, and this bill
met that defect and remeded what other
wise would be a wrong.
Mr.. Blodgett of ST. Johnsbury explained
how this bill came to be reported by the
committee, that the objections Of the Gov
ernor to signifying the act incorporating
the Messrs. Fairbanks was on account of
the fact that the method of taxation there
in proposed would be special legislation.
If we pass this general bill, it will over
come the objections of the governor to the
act Of incorporation vetoed by him.
Reports-From committee on claims, in
|
ment of witnesses and expenses before the
legislative committees, with proposals of
amendme emit, limiting the payment to those
witnesses summoned before the committee
on railroads, which was opposed by Mr..
Davenport Of Wilmington, the ground that
We should not pay witnesses before one
committee and not witnesses before other
committees. Messrs. Smalley of Burling-
ton, Hyde of Castleton agd Bailey of Fair
haven, said the witnesses embraced in the
provisions of this bill were summoned by
order of the house, and the auditor said he
had no authority to pay for summoning
them.
The amendment was then agreed to and
the bill was read the third time and passed
From committee on town lines in favor

ing Plainfeld to the town of Plainfield,
which was agreed to, bill read third time
and passed.
The title of the bill was then amended so
as to read San act anneXing Goshen Gore

Mr. Norton of Bennington, called up the
resolution introduced by him last week,
that in the judgment of this house string
ent license law is better calculated to pro
mote the cause of temperance, and abate
, the evils of intemperancc, than our present
Intellectual prohibition statute, and de-
manded the yeas and nays, which were
taken; ayes AZ, nays 1875; so the passage of
the resolution was refused.
! Mr.. Brown of Lowell called up S. 90,
providing for the employment of the in
mates of the reform school; the question
Icing on the third reading of the bill.
, Mr. Perrin of Berlin would do all he
could consistently for this school; but he
had looked up the matter and found we had
!, already appropriated $4,000 for that
school which would amount to $160 fol-
each boy there. He thought we should dc
, more for our common schools, and not SC
, much for the reform school.
: Mr.. Brown said the boys in the school
are large enough to do mans work, and
, are having a chance to obtain good edu
cation. But those boys cannot come out
of that school without having mark upon
them and they should be educated in some
thing that they can do when they get out
: of the school. This bill made provision
for giving them employment such as woult
be of benefit to them after their term Of
1 sentence expires.
: Mr.. Newell of Shelbufn said that il this
bill is to pass, he should to amend the titlt
S so that it shall read ''an act to purchase thu
y property belonging to Mr.. Fairbanks, a
9 not less than double its cost value.
+ Mr. Parker of Waterbury INTERCEPTED
the committee as to some facts and Stats
; tics that had been presented to them, ant
: said that unless we furnish these boys will
: some facilities to learn trade to enabl,
them to obtain livelihood after they leav,
U the school, they would be quite apt to re
n turn to their old habits, and thus their tern
d in the reform school would he of no advan
tage to them as men.

i consideration and declined to purchase tn,
