SENATE-M0RNING.

There was a brief and uneventful
session of the upper house. The joint
resolution for printing 1900 copies of
the proceedings Of the Vermont His
torical Society was adopted and the
report of the standing committee on
the Hospital for the Insane at Wa
terbury was read and accepted.
When House bill No. 1871, for tn .
suppression of disease among bees,
was called up by Mr.. Adams of Wind
ham, Mr.. Gordon raised the question
whether it might not be subject to the
same objections as the bill which the
Governor vetoed the day before.
Mr.. Adams thought the State had rs
much right to enter a mans premises
and destroy bees that We're liable to
spread disease as it had to enter them
and kill a horse afflicted with CLAM
ders. Mr.. Archibald of Bennington
agreed with Mr. Adams. The State,
he said, had destroyed whole orchards
suffering from the San Jose scale
without making any compensation to
the owner. 1t assumed the right TO
kill cows suffering from tuberculosis,
and the partial compensation was a
concession, not a right of the owner.
No further objection was made and
the bill was passed.
No bills were introduced at the
morning session.
Third reading was ordered on:
s. 80, relating to uniformity OF
dates of school reports.
S. SO, incorporating the City Trust
Company.
S. 76, relating to lights on automo-
biles.
H. us, relating to SEEMING in Lake
Champlain.
Adjournment was taken on motion
of Mr.. Darling &C Caledonia.

activities of the schools which were
interesting last year have not been ia

Health OFFICER Bill Discussed.


Of Westminster interrogated the com.
mittee as to the reason for an adj
verse report.
DR.. Bryant of Ludlow, chairman oil
the Committee on Public Health, said
there was trouble in the House when
ever the words health officer" were
were mentioned. He said the method
prescribed in this bill had been tried
in this and other States and
the results were not salts
factory. No health officer APP
pointed by two or three local officials
can be as efficient as one chosen by
the State Board of Health. This mat
ter should not and cannot be a ques-
ton of likes and dislikes. He defend
ed physicians as a class but said with
all their virtues they We're still hui
man and they could do better work
when appointed by some power which
had no local prejudices to enter into
the question. He said the bill looked
practice. The office of health officer
should be kept out of politics.
Mr.. Gillett of Richmond favored the
bill. Hhe thought local officers knew
better than the State Board OF Health
whom to choose for this position.
Mr.. Stafford of Brattleboro said
there was third party, the people,
to be considered. He thought the
State Board of Health were sometimes
arbitrary in their methods and favor
ed the bill.
Mr.. Bailey of Randolph said he knew
from personal observation that the
selection of health officers by select
men was a failure. The State Board
of Health always consults with the

outside the limits as those who lived
within.
Mr.. Peck of Burlington thought the
bill invaded the rights of town Off
cials and opposed the bill. The meas
ure was then killed without a voice in
its favor.
Mr. Corwin of Chelsea called up
H. 22S, amending the act relating to
the listing of engines, boilers, and GER
tain other machinery. The question
was on an amendment inserting the
word machinery" Mr. Corwin de-
Tended the bill in the interests of uni
form appraisal of property.
Mr.. Martin of Hartland opposed the
amendment but this with other am
endments correcting the phraseology
of the bill We're agreed to.
Mr. Peck of Burlington offered an
amendment inserting after the words
manufacturing or other plant" the
further words kept and used as
such" The amendment was agreed to
and the bill was ordered to third
