To the Editor OF the Middlebury Register;
In recent examination of a title in
Middlebury,. IN the Town Clerks office,
l was much impressed with the apparent
negligence or indifference of the owners of
real estate in that Town TO what seems to
be the insecurity and want of care in the
safe keeping of the records of land titles.
Some 20 volumes comprise and include
all the records of the land titles of that
Town. These volumes careful merchant
or business man, were these the record of
his private affairs, would insist in keeping
in a fire proof safe.
Quite an inconsiderable sum of money
expended by the town would at once
afford IN absolute protection not only from
loss but from any damage by fire. 1t oc-
Cured to methat this apparent indifference
to the safety of these town records might
arise not from Indifference on the part OF
the residents, SO much perhaps as from
want Of assurance that the best kind Of
safes now made-such for instance as the
Steam Fire Proof safe manufactured in
Boston under Sanborns patent, would in
fact afford this absolute protection, not
only against loss. bur also against any dam
age, by way Of charming the books or
papers or the contents Of the safe while
exposed to the hottest fire. | write with
confidence as l have used one of this kind
Of safe for some considerable lime and

that have been applied to them in different

observed that the record books of titles are
kept in fire proof safes: "A safe of moderate
size would relive the courteous Town Clerl
Of much necessary care and anxiety il
regard to the custody Of his records, in thu
event offire. A very small contribution from
each holder Of title to land in Middlebury
would ensure this desired protection: the
difficulties that would ensue were thes
volumes destroyed by fle-in dispute
about boundaries and divisions and monu
ments, courses, distances and surveys O
lots Of land would be very great and
seems to be but wise precaution on tn
part of the voters Of the town to saw
themselves from the chance of loss.

the representatives Of the States of the

trusted not only legislative, but adminis-
trative powers n advisers of the Presi-

power conferred upon them by law
Senator Edmunds was followed in
the debate by another son Of Vermont,

on Saturday, for the revision of the check
list of voters for the Town meeting to be
held next week Wednesday, All voters
desiring to participate in either the meet
ing for the election of town officers, or
the meeting for the election Of Council OF
Censors, should inspect the checklist, pre-
vious to that time, and be sure that their
names are on it.
The Annual School meetings occur
next Tuesday evening, for the election of
officers and such other business as may
be brought before them. In this village,
the call is issued to elect officers, to vote
tax to defray ordinary school expenses,
to lay tax TO pay bonds coming due

priation for the completion Of the public
school building.
A delegation of young men from

The report which is circulating tlro
our exchanges, that Rev. Joseph Cook Of
Abingdon, Mass, has been called TO the
pastorate of the Congregational Church
in Middlebury, is not correct, 1t proba-
