committee for amendment, was killed by
the committee which reported to the house
this morning a new bill in It's stead 1t
differs from the original bill in several i'm
portant particulars. The compulsory vac
cination clause is stricken out, as the
state board Of health requested, and the
bill will therefore have no opposition
from the Observation-Disclosures. The sec

before it the Deegan bill. dividing this
expense equally between the county and
the town. The state boardof health in
the new bill Is made appointive for four
year terms and the secretary Is elected
by the board as before. He serves for an
indefinite period until removed by a ma
jority vote Of the board. Under the Eos

Board Of Control Flight Delayed.
Once more the house was disappointed
In the expected fight over the Peachey
board of control bill, for the committee
failed to report Its friends were about
to move to recall the bill from the COM
mittee, but after a conference agreed
to let it go until Friday, when the COM
rnittee promises to make report. Be-
fore that time the committee will be
called together, and there will be an eff
fort to change the report. Some Of the
committee tired Of being turned down
by the house. and they want to send the
bill out without recommendation. If this
is done there will be no fight on the re-
port, and by common consent the bill will
be made a special order for Tuesday or
"Wednesday Of next week.
