PAGE 4 ORLEANS COUNTY MONITOR, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1915 LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. plans and specifications for the erection of a new building and the location of a site for the same, or the remodeling of the present one for the accommoda tion of the supreme court, state library, state historical society, and all state offices which are by necessity located at Montpelier, and that in case a new building is determined on the interior of the capitol building be remodeled in the interests of economy. We feel confident that the proposed act submitted herewith will not involve burdensome taxation and not greatly add to the biennial appropriation. The committee upon the need of additional room for state , purposes made a detailed report, showing the need of more room and accompanying a bill providing for a $200,000 building, which passed the senate, but the house amended it to $150,000. Two refer endum bills go to the people, the primary and prohibition measures. Among the other large measures passed OUR ring Styles Ladies' Shirt Waists in Voile, Lawn, Rice Cloth and China Silk 98c. to $3.00 LADIES' HOUSE DRESSES 98c. to $1.50 Ladies' Oxfords and Colonial Pumps in Patent Leather and Gun Metal, Men's Rub ber Soles in both Oxfords and Blucher Cut, both black and tan.

Eighty-eight days' pay was drawn by the members and they demonstrated that it is rot necessary for a legisla ture to work more than 90 days. Of course it has generally become known that the legislature of two years ago would not have been as long had not A. M. Fletcher, then governor, held it up on the taxation measure. in the closing days of the session gifts were made to different officials. Lt. Gov. Darling was given a diamond shirt stud costing over $50, while Speaker Weeks received a gold watch. The chaplains and pages each received sums f monev. . Referring to Lt. Gov. Darling, to him is conceeded the honor of having been the best presiding officer in the senate for many years. Some who have been in attendance for many sessions say that the man who came nearest to him in turning off business was Judge Z. S. Stanton, when he was Lieut.-governor. Gov. Gates formed a precedent Saturday morning when he signed or vetoed every bill that came before him during the session, there being no pocket vetoes. rnus toe legislature of lyio goes into history. The members have al returned to their homes and everything at the capital is peace and quiet. The session laws are to be printed in pamphlet form as in past years and the Monitor will issue them as supple ments as soon as possible. B. T.
