lowing women over 70 years of age
TO be listed to pay a poll tax and
vote. 1t was signed by the governor

completed its business were adopted
by the senate, and the same proce
dure took place in the house just be
fore the noon hour.
There are no pocket yetoes on bills
at this session, something unusual
in the history of Vermont legislatures
There was some uncertainty about
the state house this morning as to
whether the governor would sign,
SAL, an appropriation for cooperative
extension work in agriculture and
home economics in rural communiti-
es through the County Farm Bureau
| Association. 1t was rumored that
the governor might hold up the meas
ure on the ground Of too great an ex-
pense, but the bill was signed shortly
before adjournment There was also
some uncertainty about the signing c.
S-63, the teachers retirement system
bill. This was also signed late this
morning.
The appointments remain as they
were left by the senate last eevnng

recommended that the house recedt
from its proposal of amndment in
