H. :tv, making State highway tax ten cents. Mr. Rundy of St. Johnsbury told of the burden resting on that town in the matter of general taxation, and hoped the Legislature would not increase the burden. Mr. Pap of ISarro didn't want to op pose anything that was for the Interests of the State as h whole, but argued about as the gentleman from St. Johnsbury. Mr Ilrldges of Athens favored the bill a-- .i rTOHl ,i(il I" In II tews Mr. Newton of Reading thought If tho , lil.. 11H.4-.C i a u. .inn .uiui.l in e ii del thai miin d( tin small towns aro asking for this year. This Is the opinion of tho com mittee, unanimously. Mr. Cole of Guilford thought highways of the State nnd been neglected for 10) yeais, and It was true something was done. This bill provides nn equable meth od of getting nt this Important question. Large towns have been built up by tho small ono; and should bo ready to help In this matter of highways. Mr. MeFeeters favored tho bill. Ho be lieved In granting the relief nsked for and giving the small towns a chanco. Mr. Ralley thought an amendment of the bill necessary and moved to uinetid by putting tho apportionment on the basis of road mileage Instead of grand list Mr. Gnlo said the gentleman from New bury was in error as to purport of tho hill. Mr. Russell of Klrby explained the In tent of the bill and Mr. Ralley withdrew his amendment nnd favored the bill. Mr. Conlnnd of Rrnttlelmro opposenl tho bill, not believing lu tho prlnclplo Involved. Some of the large towns are burdened more now than tho smaller towns, Mr. Durick of Castleton favored the bill on the ground that tho people of the largo towns enjoyeel the benollts of good roads In the surrounding small towns. He did not consider It almsgiving. Mr. Bailey of Newbury, In answer to Mr, Conlnnd showed that Windham coun ty received more from the State tax than It pnld. Mr, Tape eald tho people who would havo to pay this tax would not be tho ones who would ride in automobiles and on rubber tires. 'Ho favored direct approprls. Hons to help Individual towns when in need, liibtead of this act. Mr, Vlncont of Rurllngton protested against tlin policy of Inking from large '. -iwus for the benefit of sinalll towns It j is unjust and uucoiiKtitutioual. In small . tuwus the appraisal is often unfair Mr, Russell denied that tho appraisals wr unfair. The trade of small towns goes to build up the centers. Mr. Kendall of W est Windsor considered It likely that better roads which would result would attract summer visitors which would help tho large places muru than the fnrmlng centers. Mr. Whlto of Woodstock criticised tho bill, which he said would not benefit tho ronds. Mr. MeFeeters of Ennsburgh read from the State highway commissioner's report. If the Stato House goes to Burlington, Chittenden county would havo no reason to complain. Mr, Vincent said that If Burlington got the capital, ns It undoubtedly would, a good road would bo necessary to move It. Ho referred to tho heavy burden of his city Incurred for good ronds. Ho hinted that there was a remedy, It tho bill passed. Mr. Ayors of Swanton questioned the justice of the law, which robs one town to benefit another. Tho legality of this policy has never been submitted to tho courts. Mr. Hyde of nnkersfielel considered the matter broader than State lines. Tho whole State Is Interested In good roads and profits by them .Tho tax goes Into permanent work. The bill was pnsFcd on a viva voce vote. BILLS KILLED.
