State House, Dec. IS.

State House, Dec. is.
The Vermont legislature viii be in
session after Christmas. This was made
certain to-day, when the House accepted
the resolution Of the committee which
calls for adjournment tomorrow morning
for a recess of one week until December
2s. The resolution was not adopted until
after some debate and more facetious
expression by the members. When the
proposal came into the Senate, it was
tabled in spite of the fact that Senator
Finn said he favored going home at once
to look after an empty coal-bin. This
position he regretted TO take, as he was
pleased with his job as senator, liked
Montpelier and liked Montpelier air. In
fact, his entire surroundings seemed to
agree with him. 1t is likely that the
resolution viii be passed this afternoon
and that the Senate, like the House, viii
fold its tent tomorrow morning for the
Christmas holiday week, to return the
Monday following. Little real work
was done by either branch to-day.
The resolution reads as follows.
To the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives: The joint special commit
tee 70 whom was referred the Joint res
olution relating TO "the earliest day
practicable and consistent with the bust
ness Of the session for the final adjourn
ment of the general assembly" respect.
fully report that they have considered
same and find that, owing to the large
number OF bills in the hands OF commit
tees and not yet disposed Of, and because
Of hte great importance Of several Of
those measures and the necessity OF due
deiiberation thereon, it seems at this
time unwise to fix upon day certain for
final adjournment. Your committee,
therefore, unanimously recommend the
adoption Of the following joint resolu-
ton,
Resolved by the Senate and the House
Of Representatives that when the re-
sPective houses adjourn on Saturday
morning, December 10, 1908, such adj
iournment shall be until Monday, De
cember 2s, 1905, at seven o'clock and
thirty minutes in the afternoon, and
that members from either house shall
not be entitled to per diem compensation
from the state during such recess, but
shall receive mileage.
