There Are Not Enough Places for Com

Little Work.

With no session Of the House this
morning and the Senate only in session
about Is minutes, things were rather
quiet about the State House during the
forenoon, There is considerable question
about the success of the one session
plan, for while some committee meetings
were held the bulk of the members chat
ted in the corridors or read in their seats
and time semed to hang heavy on their
hands Another difficulty is providing
rooms for so many committee meetings,
and it is a very serious one. The COM
mittee meetings scheduled this morning
were those Of municipal corporations,
grand list, agriculture, general, highways
and bridges, banks, judiciary education
and corporations. There were others
that met in hooks and corners, wherever
place could be found that afforded any
sort Of privacy
