Mr. Grout of + rtoI said that the prOpo-
siiion here is ds "a, mber two counties. and
erect II new county. If II ma; pr.ty of the
towns in thc two counties are agreed upon
the proposition now submitted, that is sat
stacioiy to him. and he could support it.
BIT it II majority of the representatives in
The counties of Windsor and Winlham are
opp '>rd TO the proposition, he could not
supp ri it.
Mr.. Eddy of jamaica interrogated the
committee, and drew from them the fact
that there was no more court business in
wi "liiam and Windsor counties than can
easily be don; in those counties as now or
gahized lie cliimcd there was no demand
for new county, either account of the
necessities of court business or on account
of the requests of the people. If we begin
to break down county lines, there are other
localities that lave just as good claims for
new county rs the towns named in this
ln!l. and we shall have an entire breaking
up Of county lines in the state. Again, If
we are TO submit this question to vote of
ali the towns in Wi..lltm and Windsor
counties and not alone TO the towns to be
embraced within the new county limits.
lie said there are a large number of people
in the towns II ,lned in this bill who do not
lnvor the pr0j ice, ut \ new county.
AIr Ittl. at =, ii. t.ll hat u
thought the gentleman from Chester was
mistaken when he says he is representing
$4,000 people and $500 legal voters, Tor he
believed that, with A)e exception Of one or
two towns, majol(l Sof the inhabitants Of
the towns embraced in this bill are opposed
to the pass ige of this bill. He believed
that the fact would appear that Mr.. Henry
actually represented only thcpeople Of And
over, with population of 5Ss, the people
of Weston with a population of 93l, and
the people of his own town of Chester, with
apopulation of 2,052. A majority OF all the
other towns are opposed to the project OF IA
new county. He said this is strictly II
Chester project, and the other towns are
either opposed or indifferent 10 it. lie
hoped it would be settled here. nnd not be
sent to the people.
Mr.. Powell, of Richford, said he had no
interest in the matter, but he thought the
proposition of the committee just to sub.
nit the matter to n two-thirds vo e of tn,
towns to be organized into the new county
Of course the other towns of Wndham and
Windsor counties would object to it; and
so let the towns in interest decide tor them
selves
Mr.. Davis, of Reading, said his town had
II particular interest in this matter, AMI be
believed that a majority of all the towns in
the proposed new county, even, are also
interested in and opposed the project. He
said that the evidence before the committee
is, that there are ample county buildings at
Woodstock and Newfane to accommodate
the PEOPLE of the counties that there is no
complaint but the court business is prompt
ly done; and that this is II scheme gotten
up by certain parties in the town of Chcs-
ter. II we organize this new county, we
shall have no end TO claims for new counties
in the state.
Mr.. Boynton, Of Woodstock said, ia he
argument for new county, that the pres
ent county seats are such that the travel IL
hard in the month of December to get to
the county courts. lie did not know of
any ecton of Vermont where the trave ing
in the month of December is not hard He
said we might in the same way make that
argument To apply to the whole state. and
10 county seats III Diner count :. The fact
that the population Of the new county will
he rs large AS the aver ~ Ut thc other
counties in the state is no argument for its
form tion. lie did not doubt HAT The peo-
pie OF Chester wanted il to be- the shire town
OF the new county hut il Was the misinr-
tune Uf circumstances that We cannot all
1--we IN shire towns of a county. He thought
the balance of the testimony showed that
the people hid not demand this measure,
and he trusted itwould not be passed.
Mr. Martin, of Londonderry, said he be-
les'd he re. esen,ed an undivided nsti-
tuency wlcn he asked for the passage of
This bill There has been Il great change
