tee bill so as to include lakes Champ
lain and Memphremagog is requir-
ing a license to fish, but the Senate
amended it back as it was originally
and you will not have to procure a
license to fish in these waters.
Two more colossal jobs are unload
ed on the Public Service Commission
by legislative cnactment. Hereafter,
if you want an underpass under the
railroad track fol- your cows to
wander fancy free, apply to the
board to compel the road to build it.
If you want street car vestibuIes
heated in winter for the benefit of
the poor, suffering conductors, ask
the board to compel the company to
heat them and melt the earmuffs off
the conductors. In fact, if you want
anything done-even to eXcavating
fishworks apply TO the board for an
order; and don't try to do snything
without the permission Of the board.
otherwise you may throw a shoe and
get in bad!
The six big corporation bills-the
incorporation laws revised and codi-
fed in accordance with the recent
constitutional amendments moved
majestically through the legislature
like an elephant on parade and with
out jar. Another bill is in to give
a few lawyers a fat and protracted
job revising the statutes. These
haven't been revised" is the excuse
tho the last job Of the kind has only
just been completed and the bills
paid. In fact, this statute revision
idea is something in the nature Of a
continuous performance.
The Senate finally got around to
pass Senator PoWeIls st erilized de-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. bill, after
nursing it nearly the whole session.
1t come into the House Saturday and
was killed so quick that it was dead
before it struck the ground. Quite
right.
The ofIice of commissioner Of
Weights and Measures will be re-
tanned, but whether Commissioner
Henry will remain at the head of it
is seriously doubted. In any event,
the House has cut by resolution the
total expense to the State OF the de
partment down to $4,000, about one
half Of ast.year's cost, and whoever
runs it will nave to practice d little
more economy. Very likely however,
the Senate may raise this sum a lit
tie, but the House viii not stand for
much of an increase over the sum
fixed by it as above.
The colleges, Norwich University.
the normal schools and the agricul-
tural schools receive in appropria-
tons very comfortable additions to
their present State aid, tho not in
every instance all they asked for
The normal schools receive $4,000
annual increase, and the Vail school
is also well provided for. The Med
ical College at Burlington receives
$50, 900 annually, Norwich University
receives $4,000 instead of $1,000
as before, with which 200 or more
State scholarships Of 500 each are
to be provided MiddlebLry College
receives a continuous annual sum of
SiZ,OOO regularly and without APP
Preparation every year, and the
Randolph Agricultural School will
receive $4,000 regularly. These
appropriations are now permanent
and fixed, The above are the com
mittee recommendations, which will
