The present week is apt to spell
the fate of the board-of- control bill
which is now in the judiciary com
mttee. The measure in its present
form is almost certain to be reported
unfavorably, and administration lead
ers are now talking of amending the
bill, Some OF the opponents of the
same, say, however, that the only
amendment they will consider is to
strike out all after the enacting clause
and substitute measure to make the
Governor, the purchasing agent and
the director of State institutions
governing board so far as the State
prison, House of Correction, State
hospital, Brandon home, Vergennes
school, State house and the purchase
of all supplies thereof goes. This
would leave the educational and high
way departments and the department
of justice exactly where they are today.
