Afraid of This Bill.
The bill amending the charter OF Gov.
ernor Meadis big corporation, the Howe
Scale company OF Rutland is going
through the mill rapidly, although the
House held it up yesterday morning and
tackled on a rider. The bill was mes
saged into the Senate yesterday after
noon and was referred to the corpora
tions committee.
When this bill came before the House
some OF the members thought they saw
a Joker in III The bill provides that
with the consent OF a ma iority in value
Of its stockholders, voting in person or
BY proxy, ttl may lease upon terms
agreed upon by its directors its entire
plant, property and appurtenances, and
the right TO use its name, franchise,
rights and privileges Mr. Calderwood
Of st. Johnsbury moved TO amend, as
he said, at the request of Governor
Mead, making the bill read with the
consent Of s. per cent. Of its stockhold-
ers, instead OF a majority.
Mr.. Hunt Of New Haven then moved
to further amend the bin by making
It read IS per cent. Of its stockholders
in number instead of I'm value AT
this point the bin WITH pending amend
ments was ordered To lie until the
wishes OF the governor could be ascer-
lained. Later it was called up by Mr..
1alderwood and was passed, not, how.
,yer, without a protest from Mr.. Boyce
II Waterbury. who said the bin author
1ed scale trust. and there were sew
sral dissenting voices to its passage,
Mr. Calderwood, who evidently spoke for
.he governor. said that the Howe Scale
company is now leasing property it does
not own and the bill was simply to
.emedy this.
