The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1888-11-23

NaWhurx.

On Tuesday majority Of the gen.
eral committee of the Senate reported
the Wells River Incorporation bill with
amendments. One amendment being
on the amount of highway tax, namely,
allowing them twO-thirds instead of
the whole as the charter called for.
Another proposed amendment is to
make the whole affair subject to future
legislation. There is hardlya doubt
but what if the citizens of Newbury
could have been notified of the inten-
tions of the bill, while before the
House committee on interpretations it
could have and doubtless would have
been nipped in the bud. Newbury vii
lage when it has wanted any village
improvement of any sort has always
raised the necessary funds by private
subscription it has been done repeated
ly, and many hundred dollars have
been raised by those able and willing
to pay and labor subscribed by those
not able to pay cash. Our side walks
are cleared Of snow in the same way.
When q village like Wells River with
nonresident hank stock list of $751;
600 wishes to be incorporated, fix their
sidewalks, run the snow pillow and
street sprinkler and light their streets,
small tax of five or ten cents on the
dollar woulG make them snug sum to
do it with, drawing out of the above
mentioned nonresident bank stock a
snug little sum, even a fraction of
which any other school district in this
town would be pleased to receive for
the same purpose. With their present
grand list small tax of five cents on
the dollar would give them $3.50 to ex-
pend in their village, but no, their
arms must be thrown around nearly
one-third of all the highway tax of
this town. 1t may possibly dawn up
on the projectors of this scheme that
they haye moved down more than they
can rake up.
It is expected that Rev. Mr.. Bush

An Artistic Calendar.

We are in receipt Of an elegant ca!en-
dar for 1889, issued by the Winchester
Repeating Arms Co., Of New Haven,
Conn. 1t is fifteen inches wide by
twenty-three inches in length, and con-
ta,ns three original colorcd illustrations
by the celebrated artist, Mr.. A. b. Frost.
Either would delight the heart Of a
sportsman, but the principal picture is a
hunting scene, to which the artist has de-
voted his best efforts. There are eyi-
dences OF a hand to hand conflict between
hunter and bear-a broken gun stock,
a torn jacket, blood on the snow. Re-
treating, the hunter has stumbled over a
fallen tree, but retains firm grip on his
hunting knife. The bears attitude Is su-
perb. 1t would be difficult TO conceive a
more infuriated animal. He stands over
his fallen foe, claws extended, his wide
open mouth the color Of an anarchists
flag. But helpis Ia at hand, and just in the
nick Of time. The calendar proper Ii

month, and also the moons phases
Holidays are printed in red. This calen-
dar, packed in a strong tube, will be sent

twelve colors and gold from engraved
metal plates costing over t2,0O0. Each
