Shall Then Be Voted On.
Lansing. Mich. March 1o.-The
state supreme. court has handed down
decision providing that the question
OF adopting the new state constitu-
ton shall be submitted to the voters
d the November election.
The legislature. In calling the con
venticn. stipulated that the constitu-
ton should be submitted at the April
election. The convention itself pro
vided for November vote.
Justices Carpenter, Ostrander.
Grant. Blair and Moore wrote major
ity opinions, Justices Montgomery,
Hooker and McAlvey dissent. In all.
six opinions were handed down by
the court in deciding the question.
Justice Carpenter wrote one to
which Justice Moore subscribed,
holding that under the present con-
stitution the legislature is limited to
submitting proposed amendments to
the constitution to the people at fall
elections only. BY implication, he
holds that the legislature is debarred
from requiring an entire proposed re-
vision to be submitted at any other
election. Justices Ostrander and
Blair each signed opinions reaching
the same conclusion, while Justice
Grant holds alone that, as was argued
by the convention lawyers. the con-
vention is sovereign and has author
ity to fix the time for submitting the
revision TO the people. The dissent
ing justices hold that the legislature
has the power to set the date.

Lack Of ws.er Stop. Manufacturing

Lack Of Water Stops Manufacturing.
On account of low water, necessitating
the shutting down of the Consolidated
Lighting Co. and the consequent lack OF
electric power, eight stone sheds in
Montpelier were shut down last week
Monday. Barre gets power from the
same company and il it is necessary to
run on short time, the various plants
served will take turns in shutting down
temporarily. The water situation in
Montpelier is becoming alarming, as the
reservoir is lowering at the rate of three
fourths Of an inch per day, and it is poss-
ible to lower the reservoir only IS inches
more.
The West Rutland village reservoir
failed Sept. IA and a novel expedient was
resorted to. The authorities took 700
feet of hose, attached it to a spring and
by means Of steam pump the water was
forced through hydrant into the water
mains and so to the houses.
All the wells have been dry in Alburg
Springs and farmers have been hauling
water for miles from the lake for their
cattle.
The water in Lake Champlain is at
present lower than it has been since the
year 1881, and within six inches of the
lowest mark known. Figuring from the
high water mark of the year 1869, it has
fallen eight feet and ten inches. The
smoke has been as thick as a heavy fog
and the pilots had to hunt around in
order to locate the wharves. This is the
first time in many years that the smoke
has troubled the navigators to such an
extent.
A fierce forest fire has been burning in
Bridgewater. 1t was started by bon
fire. Householders in that section have
been packing up for hurried departure.
Hills and salleys about there have been
heavy with smoke. Woodstock's water
supply il reduced to a single small storage
reservoir and the village faces famine.
