Governor Prouty this morning about
| II o'clock signed the so-ealed doe bill
and next year aud until the law is chang.
ed hunters will be allowed to shoot doe
under The same provisions that they do
bucks This ends the big fight on the
bill, which now becomes a law, The
House passed the bill emphatically and
the Senate BY one vote to spare. Since
the bin was passed by the latter body,
the governor has been besiegcd with pc
titions asking him 20 veto the bill. but
this he did not feel that he should do.
Senator Finn, the red-hot advocate Of
the trustee process bin which was re-
fused q third reading in the Senate on
Wednesday afternoon served notice on
the senators this morning that this af-
ternoon at o'clock he would move to
reconsider. a number OF the senators
remained after adjournment this morn
ing and discussed the matter II was
generally believed that Senator Finn in
tended 10 move to reconsider the bill, as
he asked TO have his vote changed on
Wednesday so that he would be with the
majority and therefore be eligible to
make the motion for reconsideration.

cussed bin TO paw certain publishers The

bercd that after a long discussion in
which the members Of the House went

other state officers to give testimony. it
finally passed a bill which awarded the
sum recommended By Commissioner
Langley. The Senate committee on
claims met this morning and resolu.
tion was adopted presented by Senator

threshing out the claims thoroughly.
Then committees Of conference will be
appointed and that is as far as it is
possible to conjecture as to the result
License Fees to School Fund.
Mr. DeBoer of Montpelier. the hard
working member of the permanent school
fund, thinks he has found the solution
of the question Of what to do with the
money received from the license fees.
There Is d bin before the House provid
ing that the fees be turned over TO the
state. the state to keep 50 per cent and
the remaining 80 per cent to be divided
among all the towns OF the state. wheth-
er they voted YES or no on tho liquor
question, Mr.. DeBoer suggests that it
would be a good plan to contribute this
money in its entirely TO the permanent
school fund and therefore help 10 carry
out the idea OF increasing the fund to
50 ,00o000, an idea to which the state
il welded The idea il getting a footing
among the members, and it Is doubtful
if there is any other means Of getting
more funds for this permanent school |
fund. the returns from which are shared /
by all the towns of the state for the !
purpose Of bettering education.
