Sawdust as relating to the pollution
Of waters was thoroughly discussed by
the House this morning along with 9TH
er matters of similar Importance, the
session being devoid of much interest,
and ii the legislature seriously expects
to adjourn March 25, bills will have to
be acted upon with much more dis
patch and with less discussion than was
eyinced to-day.
II. 246 was the bill containing the
sawdust provision and was reported ia
vorably by the committee on conseryu-
tion, with an amendment providing that
the expense caused by any device in
to take care OF the sawdust must be
shared equally by owner and the state.
Mr.. Stone Of Woodford was opposed
to the bill and proposed an amendment
which was voted down. Mr.. Powell OPP
posed Mr.. Hapgood of Peru opposed
the bill, claiming that the legislature Of
1912 took care of the matter under CON
sideration, and that further legislation
was unnecessary. Mr.. Stacey of Hart
ford opposed the bill and offered pro
posal Of amendment by striking out all
the bill and repeating the act OF 1912.
Mr.. Moore of Ludlow opposed Mr. STAG
ey's motion and thought no comment
necessary on the proposal. Mr.. Brown
of Lunenburg thought that the streams
OF the state were a good asset and OPP
posed the Stacey proposal favoring the
bill Mr.. jackson of Jericho thought
that Mr.. Brown was on the right track
and favored the adjustment of the fish
and game commission. Mr. Powell Of
Riehford opposed the amendment. Mr..
Stacey's proposal Of amendment was yot-
ed down. Mr.. Morse Of Ludlow said
that the proposed bill was copied from
the Massachusetts, law which had worked
out so well in that state, and he be-
lieved that the passage of the bin would
settle for all time the matter of dis
position of sawdust in the state. Mr.
Jones of Shrewsbury thought that the
bill worked no hardship on mill owners.
The bill was ordered TO third reading
by vote of yes l2l, no 43.
An attempt was made by Mr. Putnam
Of Middlesex to have II. 1871 relating 10
the heating OF the vestibules OF electric
cars dismissed, and Mr. Stone Of Yer
gennes favored the motion. feeling thas

iidietion.
Mr., Fanham Of Montpelier, as on yes
terday. explained that the motormen /
suffered severely with the cold in the I.
winter and the safety of the travelling 4
public depended TO no small extent on /
the comfort Of the man in the front end /

had ever asked the commission 10 have 1
the electric companies heat the front 4
md Of the cars. he replied that no at
tempt had ever been made, and il il We're
% be made, il would probably end in the
'mploye being discharged. The bill. was
