House Added Four New Com
mitteeS Today
AS SPEAKER HAD PLANNED
Latter Promised to Have His List of
Committeeman Ready to Report on
Reassembling Next Tuesday
Morning.

To-day's session of the general assem-
bly, at Montpelier was short horse
and soon currieG. In fact, the only rea-
son for holding any session at all was
to give the House committee on rules
chance to report and enable the speak
er to know absolutely what committees
he would have to appoint. A large
share OF the members left last night for
their homes and some went on the
Washington county good roads tour, so
there was hardly quorum in the House
when it was called to order The first
thing was the adoption of joint reso-
luton, providing for adjournment until
10 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Then came the report OF the commit
tee on rules, submitted by Mr. Stone Of
Wallingford. The committee adopted the
suggestion Of Speaker Howe and added
four to the number of standing COM
mittees, it being the speakers idea that
this increase in committees would better
divide up the work of the session and
help to expedite matters. The rest of
the rules are the same as those Of the
last session, with just a few changes in
the wording. The committee on rules
was made up Of Mr.. Fletcher OF Caven-
dish, Mr., Stone of Wallingford and Mr.
Shaw Of stowe
The new committees provided for arc
these:--
A committee of nine members, to
whom shall be referred all bills pro-
viding for the establishment Of support

schools and other schools supported in
whole or in part by the state, to be
denominated "the committee on state
schools

whom shall be referred bills relating to
the internal affairs OF the state, bills
for the development OF state resources
and similar matters OF general progress
to be designated "the committee on in.

whom shall be referred all bills relating
to the formation OF municipal courts

with justice courts, to be designated
'the committee on minor courts
A committee of nine members, TO

TO forestry and the conservation Of state
resources, to be designated "the com.

and on motion of Mr.. McCuen OF Yer
gennes $50 copies of the report were
ordered printed.

rules Mr. McCuen of Vergennes, Mr.
Webster of Swanton and Mr.. Dartt of
Springfield
Speaker Howe win remain in Mont
pelier during the recess and promises
to have his committees ready to report
when the House convenes on Tuesday.
He is already man much in demand
and will doubtless welcome the home
going of the members.
