STATE LABORATORY.

In committee OF the whole the Senate on
Wednesday heard the doctors on the board
OF health In favor OF the State laboratory
bill.
DR.. Caverly explained the work OF the
laboratory during the past two years. He
gave detailed estimate OF the expenses
for the next two years II the bill goes into
effect. The expense Is $3.50 per year.
Added to this 10 81 900 per year for school
OF instruction and publishing reports.
Senator Dunnett asked tho doctor what
kind OF plan II would be to fix the salaries
OF the various Officers DR.. Caverly replied
that the board OF health would be glad TO
be rid OF that duty. The salary OF the di-
rector sbouli be 83 600 annually and that
the salaries combined be- estimated at 81, 800
per year. The present salaries amount to
$500. He believed the results had been
good during the past ten years.
DIR. Wiltzie, STATE chemist, said he had
examined nearly 200 cases OF beer and whis-
key. DIR. Cavalry believed the public health
would be imposed upon II the sanitary in
spector was not engaged
Senator DeBoer asked II the laboratory
was an assistance to the board OF health. DIR.
Cavelry answered yes, instancing the M at
ter OF diphtheria cases, from 1882 to 1886
Five years previous TO the establishment OF
the board Of health, the average rate of
deaths per year from diphth"ris was 1872;
but Tor five years previous to 1899, the aver
age ra was b5. and for the year 1899, after
the establishment OF the labo ratory, IL was
only 81, very low rate.

After many days of tedious labor, the

lass for the Montpelier and Wells River
ilroad company. 1t has been found, h wv
ever, that before the cOmpany's tracks can
be transferred to the eastern bank of the
stream, Obviating the further use of bridges
at that point, that cut will have to be
made through rift of clay. This will de-

who was convicted OF assault with intent to

many that he was insane. After remain

an audience of between three and four hun
