Vermont House General Committee recommitted the Artifacts Bill to prevent a fight over the Pavilion Hotel. Chairman John Alden cited procedural concerns and the 92 year old five story hotel as a potential historic artifact, noting the hotel could be preserved rather than demolished for a new state office building.
