Money-Saving improvements.

One of the locomotive engineers
running into st. Johnsbury of math
ematical turn of mind has figured out
the expense of stopping and starting
an ordinary train of cars, with view
to getting at the saving that will re-
suit from doing away with the know
nothing crossing south of this village.
He estimates the cost of each stop at
SLY. Another engineer of an equally
mathematical turn has figured it out
that it costs three and one-half cents a
toot to blow an ordinary locomotive
whistle. Whether these figures are
correct or not the improvements in
progress at the crossing are of great
Importance both in saving and in safe
ty, and Caldwell and Varnum are do
ing thorough job. The steam shovel
will be at work in a couple of weeks
and then the crossing will be the most
interesting loafing place in the village.

Timely Advice.


Rutland's health officer has issued a
circular to the people of that town that
will apply with equal force right here
in st. Johnsbury and is commended to
the hOuseholders of this village -
The season for cleaning up has come.
There has been during the winter more
or less accumulation of rubbish about
most buildings. The warmth of spring
and summer will make it unhealthy.
Coal ashes, vegetable and animal
waste, or other refuse is found nearly
everywhere. Let those who occupy
stores or residences as well as those
who own such, give attention to their
surroundings and clean up their back
yards and outbuildings as soon as the
frost will allow. After the spring
cleaning do not allow this refuse to ac-
cumulate during the warm weather
again. A little attention on the part
of everyone in this matter will add
Immensely to the appearance as we'll
as the health of the village.
