cussed Matter of Closing Roads.

ing on the automobile bills was held
this evening in the coat room of the
house. that apartment being paeked TO
suffocation, while many interested par
ties were unable 10 gain admission.

committee, presided. and after stating
the object Of the meeting and reading
bills 3, 81, So and lib, invited discus
sion. r
w. B. G. Stickney of Bethel spoke
in favor of bill three, explaining that
the real purpose of the bill was to give
the several towns in the state the right
to govern their own roads and regulate
the running OF automobiles. He be-
leved that the bill was what was re-
CURED and that the committee would
express the sentiment of their constitu-
tents by passing it.
Mr.. Porter of Wilmington raised the
question of the right of towns 10 close
their roads to automobiles as bill NUM-
Der 3 asked. In reply the chairman
announced that the committee was
awaiting an opinion from the attorney
general on that subject.
Joseph Battell of Middlebury favored
bill three, saying that he believed that
it met the requirements of our wants,
because founded on theright principles
for Vermont. He believed that the
town was the proper authority to de-
eide which roads, if any, should be used
by automobiles, and hoped the bill
would pass.
Mr.. Davis of Fairlee said he was not
an antagonist of automobiles, but
sufferer from their presence. He knew
it was particularly dangerous to drive
a young horse on our narrow country
roads, believed that automobiles should
be excluded from such roads. He be-
lieyed in giving automobiles use of the
main highways and our broad thor
Mr.. Hamblin of Cornwall thought
had their rights, but that
they should be restricted by law and
held in control,
Senator Davis said he felt very much |
injured every time he saw an auto be-
cause he didn't own one. He thought |
.he auto had as much right as any We
licle and should not be kept off any
IF the roads.
Mr.. Niles of Halifax and Mr.. Harris
