assessment. lie was porn III huiiand,
his property and his fathers property
was there. He had no feeling but one
of attachment TO the city and interest
in its progress. lie would not adyo-
cate any measure that would hurt il.
But the setting off of this property
and territory would work no wrong,
and do no injustice to the city. II was
only doing right by those who two
wears ago were inclrded against their
will, to now set them out.
Mr.. Stone of Wallingford said that
nothing should be done TO injure one
of our finest cities-the second, II not
first, in the state. 1t afforded facill-
ties unsurpassed as market for the
products of the surrounding country.
| Ills constituents-the people of his
town-were hopeful that the legisla-
ture would not dismember the city.
There is legal proposition. Rutland
has been given the right TO issue
bonds: this was done on the basis OF a
whole city. If dismembered, this part
goes out-the obligation is impaired.
Next session some other portion of the
city will be set OIL. 1t is akin to repu-
diation. Does Vermont want to do
that?
Mr.. Ballard Of Georgia put the
matteron the basis of state pride;
thought Rutland city the garden city
of Vermont. Why should we say to
this votmg city, You shall grow this
way no farther. Are we going TO be
He'd into this local fight because a man
whom we admire and have honored
wants us to 20 into il? Thought the
Legislature of two years ago was smart
enough 10 handle this question. I
YOU establish this precedent now,
what will other towns expect two
years from now? lie ridiculed the
idea that the town of Rutland was
poor. Didn't think we ought to med
die with this local fight.
Mr.. Smith of Morl'istown said he
didn't mean 10 say anything, but
couId't keep still. lie couldn't help
feeling that the city of Rutland
wanted all the meat and would leave
the town all the shucks. He hadn't
heard any good argument on the city's
side.
Mr.. Winslow Of Brandon favored
the bill; he thought Rutland city
wanted too much; the town was left
out in the cold-destitut with moth
ing. The citizens of Rutland are
greedy and want everything. We
think the side of justice is ON the side
of the town and the bill ought to pass.
Mr.. Bridgman said committee had
been appointed-as good a one as
could be chosen; men uninfluenced by
location of residence; men ofintegrity.
That committee has made a report on
this matter after full investigation.
We, as a legislature, should not en-
deavor TO suppress their verdict. Let US
stand by the report Of the committee
and their honest action as embodied
in the report.
Mr.. Ralph of West Windsor moved
r a cessation OF the debate, but with
, drew il to allow Mr.. Lawrence to reply
to the suggestions made by the other
side. The debate then ceased, and on
call Of the yeas and nays the result
was as follows: yeas, 1853; nays, 20, and
so the third reading was ordered
