that effect by Smalley, member from
that city. Afterwards the member from
Duxbury introduced a bill to have it
removed to Taitsyille, which was re.
icrred to the Committee on the Insane,
and another member introduced a bill
to appropriate one hundred dollars to
the village Of Montpelier to assist in
lighting the streets, and provide in
creased hotel accommodations the oh.
ject of the bill being to prevent emi-
grafton. 1t was referred to the Com
mittee on Agriculture. Seriously there
is a lack of suitable accommodation in
Montpelier, and under the present
state Of things It would be an easy
matter to get vote to move the state
house if it were not that several places
would claim it, The Montpelier people
see the point and as soon as the prop
osition to move it to Burlington was
preached the journal suggested that
lift is to be moved, Rutland would be
a better place. 1t was this division Of
sentiment that caused it to be rebuilt
here after it was burned, and will
probably keep it here for long time
to come.
