Our State Institutions.

The reappointment of Hon. John
Weeks as director of state Institutions
win give general satisfaction and prom
ises a continuation of the careful and
practical management that has charac-
terized his work of the past two years.
II will be remembered that in his in
augIral message Gov. Clement said;
ave shall try TO make state institu-
tons self supporting as far as practica-
Bile. We have | 200 acres of land in con-
nection with these institutions and 10
900 acres of woodland. This land should
produce large part of the food and
provender and part of the fuel used in
such Institutions
Everyone will acknowledge the sound
ness Of this recommendation but few
realize the extent to which this policy
has been carried out in the past biennial
period. The state industrial school at
Vergennes in the past two years has pro-
duced approximately $500 in addition
TO its food production; the state school
for feeble minded at Brandon, $1,000;
the house of correction at Rutland $751;
600, and the state prison at Windsor,
$4,000.
Ii must be admitted the above is a
very good showing and that the max
ing of our state institutions productive
as possible has been the policy of past
administrations. To improve his own
record win be large task for Director
Weeks but people are confident he will
utilize his experience and ability ac-
quired in the past two years to the adj
vantage Of the inmates of the mstitu-
lions and of the state in general. In
other words we may confidently expect
a good business administration so far
as our state institutions are concerned.

Bills introduced in Senate.
NEW HIGHWAY BILL OPPOSED.
In More Than Three Hours of Debate
Last Evening.

For more than three solid hours in
Representatives hall last evening the
road conditions of Vermont and the best
ways of improving them we're the sub
iects of hot debate between the com
lnittees on highways of both the House
and the Senate. The occasion was a
public hearing on H. Isl, an act to es-
tablish a state highway department of
extensive powers and providing among
other things appropriations of $4,000
yearly for three years for the expense
Of a special survey and investigation by
an expert.
Mr.. Taylor of Hardwick, chairman Of
the House committee on highways and
bridges, presided. Previous to this hear
ing M. B. Hillegas, commissioner of ed
ucation, talked for three-quarters of an
hour to the members of the Farmers
club iii Representatives hall on the
school problems of Vermont
Among those who spoke in favor Of
the new highway bill were Warren R,
Austin Of Burlington, NJ. c. Webber Of
Rutland, Fred A. Rowland of Montpel-
Ter, George +. Chalmers of Rutland,
Fuller C. Smith of st. Adams, James f.
Burke of Burlington and representatives
of several boards of trades and other or
CARNATIONS of the state.
Attorney General Frank c. Archibald
of Manchester made the chief address
in opposition to the bill toward the close
of the debate, and the tremendous en-
thuaasm with which his argument was
received showed to a large extent how
the wind blows in regard to this bill.
This also was shown when Mr.. Aitken of
Putney said at the close OF his brief re-
marks in opposition to the bill:
"A recent article, entitled Our Legis-
lature,' which appeared in a state paper,
said some things which are true and
some which are not true about this
body. The writer of this article said
that we smell of the barn. Perhaps we
do, but before this bill gets through the
House somebody may smell H"
Mr.. Miner also spoke in opposition to
the bill as did W. J. BigeIow of the
Brattleboro Reformer.
