The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1912-11-08

! Mr.. Roy, In presenting his views, the
senator claimed that he could get rates
ON Vermont companies from agents in
New Hampshire cheaper than In this
state on the same property, which is
located nj East Barnet. A similar bill
was killed last session in the Senate.
Mr.. Roy wants policyholder to get the
full valuation of his property at his
own figures, instead Of the actual loss,
as under the indemnity policy which IL
used in all states, with the exception of
four or five, in this country, The com
mttee also heard testimony on House
bin IL, which was enacted few years
ago for the benefit of couple OF border
insurance agents and which IL is desired
now TO reepal.
The general committee gave public
hearing on House bill yesterday after.
noon, at which delegation from the
Vermont State Poultry association APP
peared advancing their interests, as set
forth in the bill, asking for an appro-
priation of $500 for the assistance of
their shows. Among those present were
President c. b. Wheeler, Assistant Sec
rotary w. d. Jarvis and Directors f. w.
Sault and c. A. Revoir. Each of these
association has been doing. Ii is with
out question the largest in the state,
and claims to be entitled to some assist
ance If il carries out its intentions as
set forth at the hearing, namely, that
it can give better prizes and that the
association can obtain a Judge who
could give lectures and in that manner
interest the public to some extent, which
the association at present is not able (
to do. Mr.. Sault gave a number of tab |
ulations showing that the net income !
from poultry is greater than the output |
Of many OF the other products constant
ly kept before the public mind, such as
gold and silver. President Wheeler agreed |
that they did not want to oppose any (
for the assistance of any other
association and suggested, as did other
OF the delegation, that a sum
paid from that according to the size of
their show. Mr.. Wallis, secretary of the
Vermont Poultry association Of Barre,
also spoke, asking that his association
Dc given a part of the appropriation.
Mr. Ryder of Bellows Falls referred to
he work of the association in his home
own. The committee appeared favor
lble to this plan and will probably re-
,ort favorahly on bill to appropriate
sum, as suggested by those appearing
before them, each association getting
hare. The committee reported favor
bly, upon House bill 1871 and House bill
Sc on peddlers' licenses, and on Senate
ill 27, relating to publication notices
n newspapers. /
The House committee on internal af.
airs yesterday listened to several pro.
ests against the passage of II. 80, an !
ct In relation to the regulation of trade
nd the inspection Of weights and meas !
res, introduced by Mr.. Martin of Ben i
ington. The National Wholesale Gro I
sr's association considered this some 3
hat drastic measure and contrary to c
ational law or laws passed by other S
ew England states; deemed an abso- G
ltely uniform package practically inn il
ossible, as all packages are filled by z
ltomatic machines, which vary imma- t
rally, urging delay until the Congress t
IN complete the enactment of bill G
hich contemplates most Of the good a
>ints in the proposed measure. II was !,
aimed that provisions for reasonable h
must be made, even though a
me members of the committee deemed p
e word reasonable" quite elastic. Mr.. p
1--WE of the Montpelier Grocery Co. and v,
r. Gurnsey Of Windsor deemed il adj "
sable to await the passage of ma m
1nal uniform law. t.
Probably more interest centered yes in
r1ay around the bill to appropriate pi
5000 for the university of Vermont is
an around any other measure. Sew eli
