The bill from the railroad committee pro-
vidng for the appointment of one com
missioner by the Governor, and who is to
be paid 10y the State will undoubtedly pass
the House and become a law.
The North Hero Bridge.
The bill approprating s25,oO0 by the
State to aid in the construction of "A bridge
from North Hero to Alburgh, passed the
Senate, rs amended by Senator Chaplin.
and has been referred to the House Com
mittec ON Highways, Bridges and Ferries.
The amend ment guards very carefully the
rights of the state providing that no part
of the appropriation shall be drawn from
the state treasury until the towns inter
estcd have expended, in parts of one
eighth, at least, an equal amount and if
any portion remains after the bridge is
completed II shall revert to the State
treasury. The twenty-five members of
the Legislature who visited the proposed
site were unanimously of the opinion that
the bridge should he built. They expert
enced the danger and discomfort of cross
ing the ferry, and, rs Senator Chapin sald.
felt pale whether they looked so or
not. Every year there has been more or
less property and life lost and IA great part
of the year the thrifty and intelligent citi-
ICns of North Hero are cut off from com
municatiOn with the main land, and are
pOWcrcSs to get needed medical assistance
for weeks ut time.
