Senator Blanchard Of Windsor intro
duced his primary bill yesterday

to third reading in the house but the
majority of the bills were of local i'm
portance only. Seven bills were intro
duced in the house during the afternoon.
Senate bill II, extending the provisions
of the act of Incorporation of the Rut-
land County Trust company came to the
house yesterday afternoon and was re-
ferred to the committee on banks. Two
bills were introduced in the house to
make the entire month of November an
open season on deer. The balance of
the business transacted in both branches
was of routine nature@and the net re
suit was a .considerable volume disposed
of though much of it was of minor inn
portance compared with the mass of
bills to be acted upon before final adj
journment. Considerable talk was in
dulged in about the capitol concerning
the Thanksgiving adjournment and the
opinion seemed to prevail that the men,
bers ought to take the entire week off
without pay. Some of those in favor
of a weeks vacation are inclined to favor
25 cents mile for mileage. For mem.
bers obliged to travel 100 miles or more
to get home there would be enough left
over to buy the turkey.
