NOTES.
No Senate committees were at work
from the time of last Fridays adjourn
ment. and there being no business be-
fore the Senate yesterday afternoon it
was in session only about twenty
minutes. The House was in session an
hour longer.
The House committee on education is
favorably disposed toward the bill which
permits towns so desiring to join in Sc
curing skilled supervision of their
schools, and the bill is likely to 90
through.
Lots of people are now pinning their
faith on the Senate preventing anarchis-
tic legislation by the House, but it must
be remembered that the Senate occa-
sionally does some unexpected things.
The two houses are likely 10 have set
to before long.
The Democratic members of the
House held caucus at the coat room
last evening, and with two exceptions
decided to vote solidly for the McGeary
bill. The hatchery appropriation bill
was also discussed, and large majority
found against it,
The bicycle bill comes up this afte.-
noon on special order, and the discus
sion on the McGeary bill will entertain
the House tomorrow afternoon.
The Marsh--Buzze hearing will lie
held at the Capitol this evening, as will
also the public hearing in the Central
Vermont reorganization matter. The
former was to have been held in the hall
Of the House, but it may give way to the
railroad hparinfr and On into tho Canal.
