BILL KILLED
IN HOUSE
Little Merger" Defeated by
Vote Of 1903 to 81.
AMENDMENT FAILED TO SAVE
Act Authorizing Berkshire Company to
Purchase Bennington and North
Adams Property.

Boston, June 13.-After a fierce bat
tie in the House yesterday afternoon
In which a large number OF represent
|atives participated, Senator Rich.
mond's bill to authorize the Berkshire
Street Railway company to purchase
the property and franchise of the Ben
nington & North Adams Railway Com
Ipany. was killed.
Representative Hugh p. Drysdale OF
North Adams led the fight In favor OF
the measure and he was seconded by
rey of Great harrington, Mcdonald of
Lenox. Fay of Boston and Schoonmak-
Ter of Ware. Notwithstanding the
bright outlook in favor OF the passage
of the bill which recently prevailed
1t was openly predicted during the
morning that its chances OF becoming
enacted were exceedingly slim. Mr..
Drysdale set himself to work, however,
and succeeded In mastering force OF
hackers that argued somewhat for
success. The bill was presented in the
House the middle of the afternoon,
and the fight Immediately began.
Ii had been decided that about the
only chance the bill would have would
come from having an amendment in
troduced providing for referendum
vote of the people Of Berkshire county
So soon as the bill was introduced In.
to the House Mr. Fay of Boston
introduced this amendment Mr.
Drysdale was recognized and he review
ed the whole situation, going over
much the same ground as that covered
by Senator Richmond In the Senate
and bringing out strongly the desire
of the people of Berkshire county to
have the bill passed on It's local merits
He said that there was not the slight
est objection to the referendum vote
amendment.
A rising vote was taken on the
amendment and 1t was accepted 81 to
I5S.
The argument on the bill as amend
ed was resumed and powerful oppo-
sition developed In many quarters. Mr..
Drysdale and his supporters took a
strong stand and presented many logi.
cal reasons why the bill should be
Ipassed, but all this was TO no avail.
The vote on the bill was taken by
roll call and resulted 1913 to So against
the measure. This settles the matter
of the Little Merger" for this session
