good citizens of Vermont. Too much
liquor is sold that is not used for purpose
medicinal, chemical, or mechanical. A bill

raise the liquor agency several notches in
the social scale. The bill follows in full.

each agent, at the expense OF the state,
record book in which every person who
purchases liquor under the provisions of this
section shall sign detailed written state
ment OF the precise use for which such
liquor is purchased. Such statement shall
also contain the date Of such sale, the
quantity and kind OF liquor purchased.

the penalties imposed under Section 4465

The purpose of the corporation is to build
and maintain a railroad from Burlington,
near the Rutland railroad terminus, to the
Canada and New York lines. The right

one to the Canada line and one to the New
York line. The right of eminent domain
and to sell, consolidate with, acquire and
oper ate any other railroad within or with
out this state is asked also the usual right
of holding the necessary real and personal
property. The power is denied the su-
preme court or commissioners to reduce
the rates of toll to point that will prevent
the company from paying at least six per
cent annually on it, stock. The capital
stock is fixed at 100000, divided into
10, 900 shares of 800 each, which can be

tum and w. w. Stickney are constituted
commissioners to receive subscriptions to
stock. They shall call a meeting for cleo
ton OF directors when 100 shares of stock
have been subscribed. The directors shall
elect president, clerk, treasurer and such
other officers as they desire. After such
organization subscriptions to stock and
control of the company's business shall be
in charge of the board of directors. The
width of the land taken for building the
road sh Il, not x ~ead FIVE rods, except a
stations. Branch roads to qusrries, mills
etc may be built. The general privi
leges OF railroads are extended; also thu
right to build bridges over waters of Lak'
Champlain and to cross other railroad
lines. Stock may be issued in paymen
for work of construction. Unless road
commenced in two years, this act shall b
void. Towns may aid in construction. Th
act is public act and takes effect from it
