DOINGS OF THE
LEGISLATURE
/. CONTINUED from first page.)


more than three armories cannot be
erected in year by state aid, while the
bill as worded prior TO the amendment
allowed an unlimited sum to be expended
Mr.. Soule of Alburg offered an amend
ment TO Mr.. Fosters amendment limit
ing the sum to $4,000. Mr.. Mayo OF
Mortified opposed this, stating that the
governor favored the $4,000 appropria'
ton.
A rising vote was taken on Mr.. Soule's
amendment which, il is believed, Sus'
tanned his amendment, although the
speaker failed to announce it, ruling that
it was an imperfect vote, there not being
quorum voting. Mr.. Hapgood Of Peru
called for the result of the vote but failed
to receive any information on the sub
iect, following which Mr.. Stone OF YER
gennes made motion that the bill be re-
committed to the committee for consid-
GRAFTON and the MOTION passed by a ris-
ing vote Of 1913 to 10. There seemed 70
be difference of opinion among the
members as to whether or not Mr.. Hap
good was in the right asking Tor the
vote and whether or not it should stand
the speaker failing to announce the re-
suit.
Mr.. Hill of Waterbury asked If 1t was
in order to speak on the bill after IT had
been recommitted and on being informed
that it was not, he stated that It was
the principle of reconsidering and not
the bill that he wished to talk upon,
whereupon the rules were suspended and
he was allowed to speak. Not little
amusement was created when Mr.. hill
speaking under suspension OF the rules
stated that he was decidedly against sus-
pending the rules and rcconsidering meas
ures once acted upon.
Mr.. Kendall of Baltimore wished to
have his bill, No. 05, relating TO bounty
on black bears killed, having changed ms
mind since the measure was introduced
AS it is still in the hands OF the commit
tee, no action could be taken The bill
would repeal the act providing for boun'
ty on black bears, passed at the l9lG
session.
In the Senate, three bills were intro
duced, two by Senator Powell, one Vi
which would do away with the Zee sys-
TEN for probate judges and substitute
salaries instead and one relating TO the
indexing of the House and Senate jour
nails, and one by Senator Simonds, the
workman's compensation measure.
The Senate also held a Commute ex-
eeutive session preceding the regular one
at which it is said the railroad bill al
lowing the Boston & Maine to own lines
now leased was under discussion. When
the Senate adjourned it was until Mon
day evening.
