Corporation Tar BW-H 1903, was taken
up az n special order at 2:A5 o'clock. Mr..
Proctor, from the committee on ways and
means, after stating that the committee had
given the bill their careful attention, pro-
posed amendments, which, he said, seemed
necessary to be made in order TO render the
bill just to all concerned. The rate set upon
telegraph companies was reduced and other
less important changes made. On motion of
Mr.. Moloney, the amendments were ordered
to be printed and the bill be made a spe-
cia order for tomorrow.

journ, to 7:3O o'clock this evening.

made its report, and the same was ordered
to be printed
II. 39i, relating to public instruction, was
taken up as special order Mr.. Boynton
for committee, regretted the lateness OF the
report, but gave AZ an excnse the great
amount of work which the committee had
been compelled to do. He spoke of the
dissatisfaction with the old law. He also
gave some very laughable replies given by
town teachers to the questions in eXamina-
tions. He explained the provisions of the
BILL pointing out many of its advantageous
features. Among these was the provision
making a certificate issued in one county
good in all the counties; the expenses of
the new school system were reduced. DR..
BOyntOn said that not one who came before
the committee said his people were sorry
that they had adopted the town system.
And so, although there We're complaints
against the present school law, yet no rem
edies for the Objectionable features We're
suggested.
The debate occupied the time of the house
during the afternoon session, when Mr..
Merrill Of Euosburgh moved that the bill be
ordered to lie and he made the special order
