as being stolen. although Il was
learned a Vim truck with that IL

Suits have of attaining distinction. Some of
the models have semi-ftted Jackets the skirt

There was no intention of setting aside any

these seats placed on sale at slightly incrcas-

true. 1t was done to satisfy the fans.
There have been 300 seats reserved but in ad-

reading House 281 relating to cor
porations under the jurisdiction OF
the public service commission and
to provide for the consolidation anC
merger of railroad corporations in
certain cases.
Mr. Field of Montpelier, for the
committee on corporations, being in

Field explained as follows:
Under the interstate commerce
commission rules, every ticket and
way bill on every line over which a
person travels or freight is carried
must be pro rated: likewise every
item of expense. Separate reports of
all operations must be made to the
public service commission and the in
tercState commission and separate
stockholders meetings held. 1t is es-
tiated hv Auditors Hobbs of the Bos-
ton and Maine that the saving effect
ed bv the merger would be at least
$50 600 a year.
The railroads, which it is desired to
mer"e with the Boston and Maine arc
The Vermont Valley, the Barre and
Chelsea, the Montpelier and Wells
River and the St. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain.
This is the matter which was
fought out by the legislature of 1915
in which the minority stockholders
won out. Robert w. Simonds led the
fight for the minority stockholders
W. B. c. Stickney for the merger
plan,
1t is understood that the minority
