SPECIAL SESSIONS
MILEAGE RECEIVED
Real Issue Is Whether Congress
Can Collect on the Regular
Session.

Just at this time, while a lot Of talk
Is being indulged in about the question
Of Congressional mileage and the pub
lie is solemnly discussing whether men,
bers OF Congress ought to be allowed
mileage for the special session. 1t is a
fact worth some attention that Congress
special session.
Months ago, members Of the House
and Senate got their mileage and either
salted 1t down In bank or spent 1t.
Soon after the special session opened
there was o distribution Of mileage.
The usual sums were allowed. The
statesmen were not kept long waiting
to receive their perQuisite, as anyone
can easily verify by consulting the re-
CORDS or asking any member Of House
or Senate whether he was allowed mile
Something over 10000 was distributed
on the basis OF 10 cents per mile. the
amount of mileage allowed by law un-
der the fcticious theory that men still
travel to Washington and back to their
homes IN stage coaches and on horse
back. - -
No Recess Expected.
The fact that mileage already has
been disbursed for the special session
is peculiarly interesting In view Of the
talk that there Will be no adjournment
Of the special session and no actual re-
cess Of Congress In order to avoid q
Tho question which In now at issue
ts whether members will be allowed
their mileage for the regular session.
Good authorities say 1t Is doubtful. as
q matter of law, IL It can be prevented.
The law Is apparently clear that mem-
"a mi oh
regular session. At the same time, the
mileage appropriation may be made
available for extra sessions.
II the law is followed with respect to
mileage in the regular session, accord
ing to members who have studied the
made for the coming regular session.
This is clearly contemplated by law. It
is true that II Congress should refuse
to appropriate there w6uld be no way
Of compelling the appropriation.
Makes No Difference.
eff Congress had not been paid its
mileage for the special session." said a
prominent member Of the House to-
day." the question of paying mileage
for the special session and for the regu-
lar session might be more properly
raised. But the mileage for the special
session having actually been paid. It
seems clear to me as q matter OF law
that the mileage for the regular session
is required. regardless Of whether the
special session adJourns today or ends
just before the regular session begins
the first Monday in December"
For the reason that Congress may
fear that to vote itself mileage in the
regular session would result in a great
depletion Of It's ranks at the earliest
possible election, 1t may not make the
mileage appropriation.
But there is good legal authority in
the House for saying it has q perfectly
lawful right t. do SO. One thing is
clear. The statesnen have been fore
handed in getting their special session
mileage early. So

MUCH BUILDING
Some Contracts Let and Many
More Buildings Being
Discussed.

The appearance of several streets
in town has been considerably
changed during the past year by the
extensive building operations, and
indications areFthat the coming sea-
SON will see still more improvements
along this line. Although many of
the building plans are still in the
incipient state, there have already
been some contracts let.
Mrs. David Macomber has moved
the old Spring house on lot near
Portland street and will build it
over into a tenement house.
The contract for a cottage house
on Concord avenue near A. Roy
Taft's, has been closed and work
will be begun at once. This is the
property of Mrs. Elsie Harvey of
Springfield, Mass, a former resident
here, and she will make her future
home in. this place. A. l.. Bragg
has the contract.
S. B. Chickering is building a
cottage house on Green street for
E. P. Brown, and Mr.. Chickering
plans soon to build on the lot he
recently purchased of C. E. Kirk on
w ebster and Cliff streets.
The lumber is on the lot for a
two fiat house which G. A Stanley
is soon to erect on Spring street.
Add to these the large amount
of building to be done at the Fair
banks plant and it is safe to say st.
Johnsbury's building item this sea-
son will be well up in the six
column figures.
Besides these certainties there
are several prospects that are con-
fidently expected to materialize and
help to relieve the congestion caus-
ed by the scarcity of tenements.
J. E. Walker and Joseph Bru-
nellie are contemplating the erection
of fiat houses on Bagley street and
Contractor Danforth is looking over
plans for a cottage on Hastings
street.
The usual amount of spring re-
pair work is reported by the vari-
Gus builders and all departments of
the builders report the season s
work starting with a rush.
James Foye has the contract to
build a new creamery at Mountain
View farm, East Burke, to replace
the one recently burned. The new
structure will be of Colonial design,
built of solid brick with marble
trimmings, and wilt contain all the
latest ideas in construction. 1t will
be 10 by 46 feet and will contain
besides the creamery a room for
the farm hands.
Other Real Estate Deals
Charles w. Steele has purchased
thQ residence 0f tho 1afn Mrc "
Richardson on Summer street ot
Henry G. Ely, the executor of the

pairs on the house before moving

SOME HEN STORIES
One Biddy With Partially For
MOOnstOnes Dead-A Blind
One Doing Double Duty

One Doing Double Duty
Hens are hens wherever you find
them but ST. Johnsbury has some
unusual biddies. J. G. Niebel uncon-
sciously started a moral reform in
his poultry yard when he killed an
innocent looking bird for dinner.
He discovered in the hens gizzard a
gentlemen's stick pin two and three
fourths inches in length. 1t had a
small moonstone in the top and it
is supposed that it was biddy's love
for jewelry rather than low wages
that led to her downfall.
A. L. ST. Peter, the blacksmith,
has a blind hen that so far as we
know holds the record both for
amount of labor and regularity of
hours. Shortly after seven o'clock
in the morning she lays fine fresh
egg and then a little before six she
deposits another. Thus she gets in
her eight hour schedule within 10
hours and is eligible for a job in
the postof1ce department. Wheth-
er she lays the second egg because
she has nothing else to do or from
sense of gratitude to Mr.. st. Peter
for his many thoughtful conven-
fences to relieve her unfortunate
condition cannot be definitely de-
termined this side of hen heaven.
