Especial to The ReformerD
MONTPELIER, March :

NUN AlafCn -
The house and senate had short scs-
sions this morning and most of the time
was consumed in debate. The senate
took up the executive veto on the bill
which would give to a husband a third
interest in a deceased wife's estate but
on motion of Senator Kingsley it was
laid on the table until next week so that
proper thought might be given to it.
Another proposal of amendment to
the state constitution made its appear
ance in the upper house this morning
when Senator Kingsley proposed that
the governor shall have power to fill all
vacancies in Offices and limiting the ac'
tion of special sessions of the legisla-
ture to those matters named by the gov
ernor in issuing a call for such a ses-
sion. This is the 10Th proposal to come
before the legislature.
Debate on the state teachers college
bill was opened in the senate today by
Senator Bryant of Windsor, who spoke
in favor of the measure. He declared
that for the past 30 years there has beer
strife between the normal schools anC
advocates of central training institu
ton. He contended that there is nC
way to legislate efficiency into the nor
NAL schools at johnson and Castletor
because of geographical limitations. HI
believed it was time for the state to put
an end to the constant struggle over
this question by determining on a pol
| icy of a single school.
Senator Chaffee of Franklin said tha
when he came to Montpelier he was in
clined to favor the teacher college idea
but had changed his mind because h,
considered the University of Vernon
! had not given adequate service to th'
state through its agricultural college ant
on this score did not deserve to have tn

! expressed the opinion that the state doe
not need such an institution and tina
the state finances do not warrant tn
enterprise.
Senator Nichols of Rutland iOine,
Senator Chaffee in opposition. He al
legged that there was politics in the at
tempt to establish the central school ant
warned against the costs which woul
be incurred if the state adopted the pol
icy the bill represents. The senate dc
bate on the bill had not closed whe

Much as i'm Country at Large-Many
Other Interesting Facts.
1t will be of interest to the patrons of
the Brattleboro postoffice to be reminded
that the Office was transferred to the fed
eral building four years ago tomorrow on
the day of the second Inauguration of
President Wilson, March 4. 1917. The
new building with ample space for post
office purposes, has added much to the
convenience and efficiency with which the
added volume of business is handled.
1t is claimed that the postal receipts
are an index of the business condition of
a community and if this is true there
would seem to be no question as to the
business and industrial prosperity of
Brattleboro. The postal receipts for the
II months past are in excess of $4,000,
the exact figures being SS1.05S.0S. This
is the first time under the two-cent letter
rate that the receipts have exceeded
$50. 900. the previous years record being
ST1. .3S7 80. although the amount handled
was S6.ST1.74 in excess of this figure, due
to the collection of the one-cent extra post
age on letters and cards, this excess being
charged off as war tax.
PoStoffice receipts show a steady and
constant increase. each year seeing a gain
over the previous l. months. which speaks
we'll for the healthy business growth of
the town. When Postmaster NJ J. Moran
took Office FIVE years ago the receipts for
the year were approximately SJ7, 900.
while those of the past year exceed this
amount by $4,000. a gain of over IL per
cent in the five years. The average postal
receipts per capita for the entire country
is about $3.50. Brattleboro has receipts
of approximately $40 per capita or nearly
three times the average for the country.
The postal receipts do not include those
from the other activities of the poStoffice
