the required hospital facilities. The
resolution is as follows:
BE il resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives that,
We record our appreciation OF The
valuable services rendered to the
State of Vermont by the College OF
Medicine of the University of Yer

Mr.. Kendall Of Baltimore changed
his mind in the House today. He de-
cided that his bill, H. 95. repeating
the bounty on black bears. was unde-
slrable. He therefore wanted to call
II out OF committee and kin it per
sonally tight on the floor of the
House. This request was not al
lowed. Whether the new fallen
SHOWS have disclosed fresh bear
tracks around Baltimore was not re-
yCaled.
A reduction in circus license fees
was provided for by House 27S. The
present State license is from $1,000 TO
$4,000 and has been so prolnbitive
that no large circuses have entered
the State. The proposed law charges
$50 to s75 license Zee, according to
the size of the circus train.
Prohibition petitions were received
IN the House from many towns.
The House passed the uniform
town accounts bill. Under it's bro.
visions the audito. and secretary or
state will propose a system to the
towns, and each town will have an
opportunity to accept a system which
will have more formalty than the
piece Of brown paper on which some
town financial reports are said to be
written.
1t was attempted in the Senate to
recall Senate SO which makes
it necessary for voter in
March meeting to pay his eaxes
by February Is. This is in the inter
ests of clean politics. for no purchase
OF votes who pays a voters poll tax
feels that he can control his actions
Two weeks later. The bill also gives
young man who becomes II after
April l. 1914, an opportunity to vote
in the coming March meeting. 'The
plea against the bill has been that ii
imposes a hardship upon the poor
man, The motion to recall the bill
was lost, aud the bill is now in the
hands OF the House
