Oo5, enaDllnR village OF Bradford to extend
| its water system; s 90, incorporating Nor.
witch Aqueduct Co.
| Killed III. 297, amending Sec. 1894, V.
B., relating to fees OF witnesses. Taken
| from table on motion Of Mr.. Crandall of
| Berlin.
Mr.. Raymore Of Eden moved an amend.
ment providing thai fees Of witnesses in
justice suits shall be one dollar per day
when the witnesses come from out OF the
town, and fifty cents when they reside in
| town where the trials are held.
| Mr.. Barrows OF Coventry asked that the
bill be made special order. Motion lost.
| Mr.. Raymore's amendmt mt prevailed
Mr.. Haskins of BrattleborO opposed the
blll. He repealed the insinuation that the
| judiciary committee had disapproved IL be-
cause It discouraged lawsuits He showed
from the auditors report that the expenses
! OF witnesses to the state would be increased
from $4,000 to $50 600 or 100000 for the
biennial term. He called for the yeas and
| nays.
Mr.. Barrows of Coventry thought ex-
penses would not be materially increased,
| because fewer witnesses would be sum-
m1ned and less time required of them.
Mr. Hail OF Bakersfield held that COM
pensation OF witnesses ought TO be sufficient
| TO defray their expenses. When fines are
not paid and the prisoner works out his fine
the state does receive what it pays out from
profits of his labor
| Mr.. Spencer of Clarendon and Mr. Young
of Troy favored the bill.
The previous question was ordered on
motion of Mr. Palmer of Waterbury.
The roll-call resulted: Yeas, SO; nays,
| 121, and the bill was killed.
