COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Mr.. Anderson Hauls Clerk Roche
Over the Goals.

Chairman Mount presided at yesterday
afternoons meeting of the county commits
sioners, at which Messrs. O'Keetfe, Ander
son and Turner were present.
1t was quite tame session, and nothing
but routine matters were discussed, except
that Mr. Anderson made an effort to revolu-
tionize the county's stationery department.
He produced the bill of a printing house for
six chattel mortgage records, but County
Clerk Roche could only show up four of the
books. MIR. Anderson stated that Sloman's
chattel mortgage company had purchased
one of the records from the clerk. The two
missing books, Mr.. Roche said, were not in
dexed when he received them and he sent
them back He presumed that the printing
house had not credited the county with them.
Mr.. Anderson thought that some steps should
be taken to look into the stationery depart
ment and Mr.. Roche asked that the matter
be referred to n committee and have an in
vestigation made.
Mr.. Anderson said that there were orders
for some of the records in March, and that
bills for them came in in February. He could
not account for that kind of business,
and did not think the county should
be "a book store for outside
concerns. Mr.. Roche, explaining, persisted
that two of the books had been sent back to
the printer and that he had sold none of the
county's stationary. The cost of each record
is sl2.
'It's o cold day when you can catch me in
any steal" savagely remarked Mr.. Roche to
Mr.. Anderson.
SIT will be investigated" was the re-
sponse.
The matter of investigating the stationery
department, was referred TO the entire
board.
Henry Gibson, of the printing house which
printed the records, was seen last night, and
stated that Mr.. Roche was not at fault, as a
clerk IN the printing house had made an
error in not crediting Mr.. Roche up with the
books returned If anyone is TO blame, Mr..
Gibson says, that it is the printing house.
Mr.. Anderson offered resolution, in
structing the county attorney TO take the
proper legal steps to require County Clerk
Roche to turn over S23, an amount over the
expenditures of the office up TO January !, TO
the county treasurer. Mr.. Roche was present
and stated that il was not necessary. Mr..
Anderson said he knew IL was not necessary,
but that he had put up with the negligence
of many county officers as long as he in
tended TO. Mr.. Roche made a hasty exit and
had his deputy pay the money into the treas
ury at once. The deputy rushed into the
treasury and ASKED for receipt for the
money. 1t was given hlm.
A bill of Sheriff Coburn for S22S for depu-
ties who did service at tho fair grounds dur
ing the fall of 1887 was referred TO the
finance committee, In regard 10 the matter
the county attorney, who nad been asked for
an opinion. stated that the claim was legal II

RENEW IN TINE.

Let every subscriber whose subscription

number he will find on the yellow slip con-
tanning his name, with that in the head of
the paper. By this means he can find out
when his subscription expires, and be able
to renew in time, so as to save missing any
numbers. It will be unpleasant to miss
any numbers now, when every one has
so much that is important to the reader.
The number of this paper is 1913. If the
reader finds that the number on his address
slip is, for example, 395, he viii understand
that he will receive but two more numbers,

THE last Vermont Encampment was much
the largest one ever held. 1t met at Brat
tleboro-a beautiful little city of about 5000
inhabitants. The largest hall in the city
was taken, but this proved wholly made
quate to accommodate the great crowd in
attendance. At the conclusion it was an
nounced that the future Encampmentsw would
have to be held in one of the three largest
cities in the State, since no others could
furnish sufficient accommodations.
