THE CHARTER SECUR RED.
CONNECTICUT RIVER POWER COMPANY
BILL REPORTED FAvoRABLY

The First Step Toward Securing a Dan
Across the Connecticut River-Joint Cor
poration Committee Gave the Bill Pro
longed Hearing Tuesday Evening -Ex-Gov
stickney in Behalf of Bellows Falls Cana
/ Co. Objected Strongly.
A bill incorporating the Connecticut
River Power company and empowering
the company to construct a dam =
feet high across the Connecticut river
at Brattleboro passed the Vermont
house of representatives Wednesday
with several amendments satisfactory
to the local people interested and by
this time probably has gone through
the senate and become a law. This is
the first important step toward prof
ect which may mean a great increase
in Brattleboro's prosperity. The joint
corporation committee gave the bill
an extended hearing Tuesday evening
and after bob sides were heard decid-
ed TO report it favorably.
The'only person who strongly op-
posed the bill was ex Gov ". ".
Stickney who appeared in behalf of
the Bellows Falls Canal company. He
stated that the bill affected every far
mer and railroad between Brattleboro
and Bellows Falls and that the very
fact that proper notice Of its in
PRODUCTION had not been given was
proof enough that there was some ul
terror purpose. In answer to Gov.
Stickney's TRADE c. c. Fits explain
ed that the Bellows Falls Canal com
pany, Mr.. Stickney's client, had been
consulted in the beginning and that
every farmer whose property might be
affected was aware Of the project. L.
II. Allbee in behalf of several Putney
farmers thought the bill ought to be
reported unfavorably on account Of the
failure TO give proper notice. A graf
flying feature of the hearing was the
apparent favor with which the Boston
II Maine railroad company looked up
on the project. ". B. c. Stickney of
Ludlow, who appeared for the rail
road, said that all it asked was that
its culverts, grades, etc, be properly
protected
The next move toward securing the
dam is TO get a similar bill through
the New Hampshire legislature which
convenes in January. If this can be
done the project is practically assured.
The full report from the surveyors
who have been at work this fall has
not yet been received by the local com
mittee. 1t is known. however, that
the survey establishes the practicable
ty of the enterprise. A 20-foot dam
built at a point below the lower island
would extend slack water to within six
miles of bellows Falls The amount
of power which such a dam would
furnish is estimated at between 20UO
and 1900 horse power.

Montpelier, Dec y, 1902.
After dallying long and uncertainty
with the larger problems set for it to
solve. the legislature has on the eve of
adjournment gathered together its wis.
dom and discretion, summoned up all
its energy and made a bold and glo-
rious dash for freedom and an unham-
pered Christmas. 1t has agreed, quite
meekly. upon the license bill amend
ments and that laboriously construct
ed, much criticised and belabored, but
generally satisfactory measure has
passed another critical point in its
perilous journey toward the people.
The House had an emotional day
Wednesday, and became sufficiently
softened to pass the bill abolishing
capital punishment, although not quite
enough so 10 assent to the provisions
of the womans S suffrage bill. Some
thought women's votes would purify
politics, others that the political mire
would drag women down. 1t is plain
to see from the session s record that
the House has high and solicitous
regard for the welfare of women. Other
subjects grappled manfully with have
been the scheme to double the high
way tax. the distribution OF railroad
passes to Legislators, a state court of
claims and a caucus reform bill.
