FIGHT OVER ADJOURNMENT
The joint resolution introduced In the
House this morning by Mr.. stone of
Wallinpford that when tho two Houses
adjourn to-day it be until Tuesday morn
Ing at ten o'clock did not have smooth
sailing, hut it finally passed the House
il to 50. IT went through the Senate
without exposition. In the discussion of
this resolution. Mr. Stone argued that
when the members 20 home Friday aft
erncon to remain until Monday after
noon. they are not wasting their time
nor using time that belongs to the State
for private purposes. on the other hand,
b. such adjournments, they are able to
meet their constituents and discuss pend
ing legislation with them. Mr. Kennedy
Of Willston. Mr.. Gatchell of Charleston,
and Mr. Warner of Cornwall thought
they were sent to Montpelier to do bust
ness for the state and that they should
stay here and do It without long week
end APPOINTMENTS. The sentiment Of the
House, at least of those who had not al
ready gone home. evidently sustained the
position taken by Mr.. Stone
