The Weather and the Railroads.

Few people are aware of the anxiety
and strain that such weather as the past
week brings to railroad managers and
employees. The deep snow and the
high winds and the extreme cold wealth
er, all combine to make railroading ex-
tremely difficult and hazardous, espec-
tally to the men connected with the
trains. Thus far we have heard of but
few serious accidents. Engineer Snow
was probably fatally hurt below the
Notch, while running a snow pillow on
Sunday. A freight train was showed
in near Upper Bartlett at the begin
ming of the gale, and was not dug out
so communication was had through the
Notch until Monday afternoon. The
road west of this place has run with
scarcely any trouble, Notwithstanding
the depth of snow. Some trains on the
Passumpsic have been greatly delayed,
but the delay has been mostly caused
by the lower roads; and all trains and
mails are liable to be irregular for some
time to come.

Report of the Special Committee on
Our Village Water Works.

The report of the special committee
appointed by the village at its late an
nual meeting, to investigate the condi-
ton of the village water supply-its
pumps, dams, water wheels, law suits,
and other COMMUNICATING made a
lengthy report, and the same was given
to the village at its special meeting
held on yesterday. 1t is what might
be called mighty interesting, not to say
instructive, reading matter. From it
our people learn that the cost of our
village water works is upwards of S4,-
900 year above all income. That for
this heavy outlay the village receives
fire protection only; and that in the
condition of the dam, fumes, wheels,
etc, for the past six months. it has not
received even that.
| The first recommendation the COM
mittee make, is new stone dam, made
perfectly tight, in order to save what
water there is. This is estimated to
cost $4,000, of which the village would
have to pay one-fourth, although own
ing but One-tenth of the power-it be-
ing under contract to bear Le-fourth
of the expense of repairs.
The second recommendation is a new
wheel. The committee find the wheels
| now in inexperienced of Buzzell, one
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1881-02-04

of the village trustees at the time-''un-
profitable and extravaganza in the use
of water-requiring very large amount
of water and giving but small percent
age of power" 1--WE copy above from
Ieport.) The expense of new wheel
is estimated at $3.50.
The third recommendation by the
committee is that the accumulation of
sand and gravel above the village bulk
head be removed, giving a clear chan
mel on same level with bulkheads on
north and south sides of the river. To
accomplish this, a pier of the little
bridge to the island must be recon-
structed, and the main pipe of the aque-
duct, which now lies at the bottom of
the river, and obstructs the current,
must be lowered below the bed of the
pond. The cost of the reconstruction
of the bridge is estimated at 5000; that
of lowering the main pipe is not esti-
mated.
w llh luCSC inC
think the village would be in a situation
to call upon the other owners in the
power to have their fumes and wheels
in such condition as not to waste the
water the village saves and to this end
it is suggested that all the manufac-
tureIs on the north side of the stream
combine and put in one good wheel
which is reckoned will supply sufficient
power for all.
In regard to the infringement of the
Holly patent by the Flanders pump,
the committee enter into full explana-
ton of the principles involved in the
patent and what is claimed by Holly,
which we cannot follow here. Suffice it
to say that the committee believe there
is an Infringement, that the village is
liable for its use heretofore, and will
continue to be liable so long as it uses
the pump as at present-(pumping into
closed mains)-but that it has right
to use the pump as a common force
pump to elevate water into a standpipe
or reservoir, and the committee re-
commends that the pump hereafter be
used for pumping water into reser-
voir upon some hill west of the village,
and that the supply be taken from that
source, as is done in Burlington and
many other cities.
The committee close by advising an
increase of water rents, and repeating a
suggestion made to them, that it would
reduce the expense of the village water
works to have the village system oper-
ated by the aqueduct company, secur-
ing fire protection at much less cost
than at present. The committee as
elected was as follows: Henry C. Ide,
Chauncey Walker, Geo. E. Howe. Mr..
Walker was taken severely i'll and new
er met with the committee but once,
and the report is signed by the other
two men only.

Trial Under the Nuisance Act.

The sensation of the week has been
the trial of VIM. Trendall, at the lower
town hall, for keeping nuisance. The
complaint, arising fIOm the midnight
row at his house two weeks ago, con-
tanned two counts, under sections one
and eight of the new nuisance law,
charging him with selling, furnishing
or giving away liquor and "knowingly
permitting" it to be done on his prem
Uses. The law however does not max e
a private house a nuisance, unless the
liquor is furnished to "habitual drunk
ards" or the house is place of public
resort" The Deyo boys, who were
present at the rumpus, testified that
they were in the habit of getting drunk
occasionally, but not habitually. One
of the witnesses testified that he had
seen a great many people going to the
place on Saturdays and Sundays, he
thought as many as Is, but would not
swear positively to more than eight OF
ten. Nothing appeared in evidence as
to the character of the women, and the
witnesses swore that nothing improper
was done. However, cider, wine and
whiskey mixed, was peddled out to the
crowd, and they got beastly drunk.
Trendall admitted furnishing intoxi-
eating liquors, but said the crowd was
merely invited guests. And the jury,
which consisted of Gen. w. w. Lynde,
F. w. Brooks, H. F. Smith, w. II. Es-
tabroOk, II. w. Simonds and j. w.
Burnap, decided that he was not guilty
under the law. The place is a nuisance,
but not as they think, the kind of nui-
sance described by the nuisance act.
Not once in hundred times can so
strong a case be made out against any
disorderly house or cellar GROCERY. If
this decision is correct, apparently it is
nothing but hotels, drug stores and
public saloons which the law can reach.

Coolest Month on Record.

We do not say that the past January
has been tho coolest month that ever
was; we simply assert that it has been
the coolest month this year. We have
not fully heard from February yet. A
gentleman on Main street who has care
fully kept the record, gives the follow
ing remarkable result for the entire
month: Average minimum tempera-
ture, 8 l-6 degrees below zero average
maximum, Is SO above zero average
for the twenty-four hours, 3 So above
zero. If there is a record of any previ-
GUS month where the temperature did
not average four degrees above zero, we
are ready to hear of it.

Adjourned Village Meeting.


Not large number of citizens turned
out to the adjourned village meeting
on Wednesday afternoon, to hear the
report of the special committee appoint
ed to investigate the water supply in
all its bearings. The report (Which we
summarize elsewhere) was printed and
in the hands of the voters. Tho meet
ing organized by the choice of Capt. H.
X. Ide chairman, Capt. BlOdgett, vii
lage clerk, being in his accustomed
place. Henry C. Ide, Esq, for the
special committee, explained more fully
some points of the report, especially in
regard to the Infringement that the
Flanders pump was upon the Holly sys-
TEN. He thought, as is stated else
where, that Holly would look to the
villages and cities using the infringe
ment for reimbursement for the expen-
sive litigation he has been through to
establish his patent He thought if a
reasonable arrangement could be made
with Holly, it will be best for the viii
lage to go right along with present ar
engagements but if Holly is exOrbitant,
the committee recommend dispensing
with the patent parts of the pump, and
then forcing water into high reservoir
and take the village supply from that.
The question was asked, that should a
fire break out now, and all the gates at
the dam be shut down except at the
village wheel, how long would it be be-
fore the big pump could be used ?
Both Messrs. Mcleod and Orcutt
thought there was not water enough
running in the river now to carry the
large pump.
After some discussion as to the desir-
ability of stone or a wooden dam
the latter costing about one-half as
much as the former-the meeting went
into the discussion of the extravagant
use of water for mechanical purposes,
the filling of railroad locomotives, and
especially the use of lawn sprinklers,
garden and sidewalk hose. The fact
that in certain seasons of the year water
was low, and that water rents were
lower than in many other places, was
freely ventilated. Finally n. NJ. John
son introduced a resolution to the effect
that this meeting recommend to the
trustees a revision of the water rates,
to the end that more revenue be &C
quired thereby. This was talked over
fully, and after several attempts to
amend it, was carried as originally of
fered. B. G. COrser offered resolution
that all users of water for mechanical
purposes be required to procure meter:
and pay for what water they used
This was lost. After more talk, and 6
resolution recommending the report O
| special committee to the consideration
of the village trustees, the meeting ad
journed to first Monday in May, at
p. M.
