through his persistent efforts, the
House to-day did it's part toward clean.
ing up these two important matters
| The Senate passed The Bradley bill last
night. The passage of the Bradley bill
came after the committee of confer
ence on the two dollar bill had reported
failure to agree and had been dis
missed.
Other notable events of yesterday
were the passage by the Senate after
long debate, and after Senator Villas
had succeeded in cutting the appropria-
| ton from $4,000 to $25 900 of H. 1874,
providing appropriation for building six
stock barns at the state fair grounds.
Swift rejection came in the House
yesterday afternoon to S. 81, the Villas
bill which provides for extra scholar
ships at Middlebury, Norwich and the
University of Vermont. The bill was
adversely reported and not voice was
raised in its favor. As a matter of
form, the House also rejected II. 1850,
the text of which is the same as s. Al,
the state teachers college bill, killed
| earlier in the session In this way, the
House has the distinction of killing
this bill twice.
Debate on Barns at Fair Grounds.
The debate on FL 1874 was quite snap
py. Senator Nichols opposed the bill
and declared that we are going at too
fast a pace in appropriations Senator
Farnham favored it, declaring that Yer
mont is an agricultural state and that
nothing will so instill into young Yer
monters the ambition to till the soil
and raise good stock as to go to the
state fair and see what is being done
in the state through the exhibits there.
1T 10 a question of whether you so
on and have the state fair, or whether
you quit" declared Senator Farnham,
for quit you must unless you furnish
proper buildings for the stock breeders
TO put their high grade cattle in"
Senator Durham opposed so large an
appropriation for one fair and said ii
the state helps one fair it should help
others
Senator Cady spoke in favor of the
bill
Senator Carpenter, in opposing, said
that what the state needed more than
anything else is the push and vim
which would make it self supporting |
like the county fairs which are held |
at Rutland and Brattleboro
More criticism of the management of |
the state fair brought from Senators
Newton and Estee, the latter for some
time a member Of the state fair com
mission a defence of the management |
and support for the bill
Senator Villas objected to the meas.
ure on the ground that 1t was class leg
lslation TO do SO much for the farming
element and so little for the industrial
element He questioned whether White
River junction is the place for the fair.
and thought it might better be held at
Barre, or, perhaps, Rutland
When the debate was taken up again
II the opening OF the afternoon session.
senator Villas offered an amendment to
M the appropriation from $50 900 TO
s20, 900. Senator Farnham said that un.
ess the state fair commission got what
= asked for. it might as well not have
anything at all Senator Mckillip also
opposed the amendment and ii was re
ected. But after Senator Williams had
allied attention TO the fact that S4l4..
80 has been appropriated at this ses
ion for the benefit Of the farmers
lone, not including the 100000 to
radicate bovine tuberculosis, Senator
lilas tried again, this time moving 10
mend to make the appropriation SIS.
