The committees on appropriations
from the House and Senate met in
Room 3 after adjournment and con
sidered House bills 5 and %. Hugh
Henry, president of the Soldiers
home and Col. Thomas Harmon. SUI
perintendent of the home, spoke on
each bill.
Upon the first bill Mr.. Henry said
that the appropriation was too small
and that about $4,000 was needed;
that only So per month could be fur
nished to about 100 needy soldiers
out of about 1000 in the state. This
would be an increase of about $4,000
over what they had last year. He
said the present act is inefficient and
does not cover the grounds as to de-
tails and also as to remuneration for
carrying along the work.
Col. Harmon spoke along similar
lines telling how men who are receiv-
ing aid out of this appropriation are
not in the Soldiers home.
. On House bill %, Mr.. Henry ex.
planned that the appropriation for
eight years has been $4,000, but that
they need such improvements that
with the high cost of living it would
require more and they ask for So, 900
Among the repairs and other expens-
es he referred to were fencing the
reservoir, to keep the cows from
standing in the water in hot weather;
| cleaning the reservoir, and repair
ing the walks and building Col Han
non spoke of the need of about $751;
600 on the ground that according to
ideas of the state officials as well as
his own idea and that until six years
| ago the United States government
used to help in the expense, but that
source of income has been cut off. the
deaths are about Is per year, while
there is no increase in the number of
| applications over several years ago.

goyne" before the Vermont Historical
society tonight in the House of Rep.
resentatives to which the members OF
