Committee on the part Of the House.
This leaves the matter just as it
stood before the presentation of the bill
in the interests Of the Boston & Maine
railroad.
Gov. Mead's Veto.
Gov. Mead's veto of the fat rate on
intangibes bill was presented to the
House at o'clock Sunday morning.
The reason given by the governor for
his veto was that House bill 500, re-
moving the limit from the amount of
savings bank deposits subject to state
tax, was enacted with the full under
standing that it was for the purpose Of
raising revenue TO meet the increased
expenditures provided to be made by
the many large special appropriations
made at the present session of the gem
eral assembly, and that he felt that to
now enact legislation depriving the state
Of that revenue; so raised, would be a
serious mistake and one that ought not
to be made.
On the question whether the bill
should be passed over the governors
veto, Mr. McCuen Of Yergennes said
that the veto was technicality and he
urged the House to stand by its vote.
Mr.. Webster of Swanton said the rea-
son given by the governor touched only
the desirability of the bill as a revenue
measure, and he believed the House
should pass the bill, the governors veto
to the contrary Notwithstanding. The
roll was called and 70 members voted
to pass the bill while go voted to sus-
tain the veto.
The chair then ruled that under the
constitution, which provides that to pass
a bill over the governors veto a ma
iority of all the members Of the House
must so vote, the House had not 80
voted notwithstanding a majority Of
those present favored it. Mr.. Corwin
Of Chelsea appealed from the decision
Of the chair to make test of the case
Mr.. Amey of Brighton, Mr.. Peek of Bur
lington Mr.. Hunt of New Haven and
Mr.. Wright of Westminster favored sus-
tanning the chair. Mr.. Webster of Swan
ton and Mr. MeCuen Of Vergennes OPP
posed BY vote Of 90 to 81 the chair
was sustained.
Trustee Bill Smothered.

seemed in a fair way to get through
the legislature, although squelched earl
Ter in the session, was smothered late
Saturday night, when the Senate refused
to concur in the House proposals OF

The House unanimously sustained
Governor Mead's sixth veto on II. 3o4
introduced by Mr.. Carpenter of North
field, an act TO regulate the services
Of process. The bill was vetoed on the
grounds of the excess OF travel it would
require by constables and deputy sher-
ifs in the actual delivery OF writs
