Some people assert that reduction
in the size of the Vermont House of
Representatives from 246 TO $50 would
not be a measure of economy. If the
proposed reform were instituted would
it still be necessary to enlarge the
State House at an enormous expense?
Burlington Free Press
1t certainly would. The extra space
is needed not TO furnish more seats
but more committee rooms and decent
quarters for the various departments.
Walk around the statehouse during a
busy time in session and note the de-
lay in committee hearings because
there are no committee rooms. A de-
crease in the size of the legislature
would not mean a decrease in the
number of Importance of cimmittees.
In fact there ought to be more instead
of less. Look into the secretary of
states Office some days and watch
four men trying to do business with
four different sets of callers and on
four or more radically different sub
iects all at the same time. Other de
partments are not in such bad shape
but all need more room. Size of the
legislature has but slight bearing on
the size of the statehouse.
