Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1892-12-01


session of 1902 is thing of the past and
hotel offices which tho statesmen have rem
dered lively for the past two months are de-
serted to night. Socially speaking the seven
weeks have passed very pleasantly; much
has been accomplished in the-way of legis-
lation; some political aspirations have been
gratified and certain members from Benning
ton county, at least, have put in good work
that other desires for Office may be appeased
two yenrs hence; but notwlths landing these
pleasant recollections there is general re-
joicing at being able to get away from an
other spell of that bad weather which seems to
hang over the capital Of the State good
portion OF the time. Yesterday was pay
day, and with the exception of two mem
bers who several days ago appealed to the
State treasurer for lttlo money to meet
some outstanding obligations, each member
received $3.50 and mileage at the rate OF 10
coats mile each way for distance travelled
between his home and Montpelier. The ses-
sion contained just J0.days. Most OF the
money paid out by Treasurer Field remains
in the hands of Montpelier hotel md board
ing-house keepers. Some members possibly
had little money left when they took the
train for their homes to-day, but others not
only turned over their pay, but in addition
drew their checks to square themselves with
those who have fed and lodged them
The night session. which was in progress
Mt the tine of going to press, continued,
with several recesses until 8 O'Clock this
morning and tho legislative day ended at
that hour.
