The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-03-25

, The editor of the Londonderry Sitter,
who was one of the active members of
the last Vermont legislature, holds out
the hope that the next session of that
body will be much shorter than the
late lamented session. He thinks the
establishment of a legislative bureau
which will be at the state house for the
purpose of revising bills month before
the legislature convenes, will start the
work promptly, and that the constitu-
tlonal amendments taking away the
legislature s right to amend private
corporation charters and changing the
time of holding the legislature, will be
important factors in saving time.
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-03-25

Officials of the Grand Trunk who
appeared last week before the Rhode
Island legislature ito urge that the
state lend its credit to the Southern
New England railroad enterprise, de-
clared that should this credit be with
held the chances were that the extern
sion would be abandoned. In view of
this latest development it is difficult
to know what to think about the sin
cerity of the Grand Trunks various
statements about its New England
plans. A great many people never be-
lieved that the Canadian corporation
had any serious intention of building
to Boston, but it was thought for a
considerable length of time that the
Palmer Providence line would surely
be completed. Developments in the sit.
uation make it more and more appa-
rent why E. H. Fitzhugh resigned from
the presidency of the Southern New
England corporation. No self respecting
man likes to be goat.
