Nothing has been done In the way of work
on the Chittenden Library for some time.
The work is suspended while the walls are
drying, as the plaster is quite damp still.
The library will hold zoe, 100 volumes. One
room will be devoted to the coin collection.
This collection is one of the finest in the
country, but owing to the lack of room has
never been on exhibition. The bas-reliefs
over the windows in the reading room are
very fine. They are very fine representations
of Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, Plato, Virgil,
Homer, Cicero, Kent, Newton and Franklin.
The reading room will accommodate ninety
persons. The long window of the reading
room is work by Tiffany. Mr.. Tiffany
spent whole year in psrfecting the design.

BOARD OF sELKoTmEN.

Have the Assessors an Implied Con.
tract with tho Town for . Salary OF
@1,5OOs-A Nice Point OF Law Indeed
The Question OF Acc0mmo dating
Travellers over and Under Tomlinson
Bridge.
Assessor Charles r. Baldwin appeared be-
fore the board of selectmen last night in ref
erence to their petition asking for an increase
of salary from $1,000 to $4,000, and which
was returned to the board of assessors with
the statement that the board Of selectmen
had no right to raise salaries. Mr.. Baldwin
said the assessors were in error in their re-
cent petition and regretted their action. He
said that the salaries Of the assessors were
not fixed last January, Is in former years,
therefore they thought they had right to
ask for an increase for the remainder of the
year.
The question with the board of selectmen
was as to whether previous boards had fixed
the assessors' salaries in January. The as
SCISSORS had been sending in their bills each
month at the old rate of 81 500, and the
board thought this was an admission that an
implied contract exists between the board of
selectmen and the assessors as to their sal.
aries. The latter had not thought of having
their salaries raised this year until just now.
A nice question of law 10 involved in this
matter, and the board referred the matter to
the committee on finance with the power to
employ counsel and get legal opinion as to
whether by sending in their bills at the rate
| of 81 500 q year an implied contract does
really exist.
pointed special constable.
The question came up as to whether Engi-
| neer Powers of Tomlinson drawbridRe
| should open the bridge to every little vessel,
and also at what time the bridge should be
closed. Mr.. Powers tries to satisfy every
body, and by opening the draw for every
small sharpe keeps passengers on foot and in
carriages waiting. He simply wanted the
board to decide what he should do and have
| pies and travellers over the bridge should
know about. In pursuance of this request

from Commissioner Morton of the treasury
department, Warrington, who sent q copy

cerned. The matter was referred to the com.
mittee on roads and bridges to confer with

Thirty Years Ago.

Tothe Editor OF the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
was much interested In an article in q
paper sent me this week from my old home,
Addison, Steuben county, N. Y. The article
speaks of the use of electricity O. a motive
power thirty years ago. An extract from the
article Is as follows:
In the city of Hornellsville are three streets
named respectively John street, Jane street
and Lille street. They were laid out and
named by former citizen of that place, John
II. Lille, after himself and wife. Something
like forty years ago the American Hotel in
Addison was run by q man named James 81.
Van Week. In the third story was hall
for dances and public exhibitions and called
evan Vleck's Hail." Lille was travelling
Snowman and he gave an exhibition in
that hall, about the time II was built, of
. scientific character, and among other
things exhibited an electric railroad, hav-
ing q miniature track laid in q circle
In the center of the room upon which NINA
ture cars were propelled by the electric cur
rent. Prof. Lille then predicted that cars
would eventually be propelled by electricity
rather than steam. The mysterious agent,
although then In its infancy, was hardly rid
of its swaddling clothes and in fact may now
be truthfully said to be comparatively only
In It's teens; still the time predicted by Lille
IL at hand and within the next ten years o
network of electric railroads will extend to
almost every thiokly populated farming dis
trict In our land, and It is for this reason
wrote this article.

tistic appointments which have won the
boundless praise for the talented young ac-
tress wherever she has appeared. There are
twelve scenes in the production and each il
described as being veritable gem.
jim THE PENMAN.
It is estimated that "Jim the Penman'
has been played more than 1900 times in
this country. When one considers that The
play was produced in America only three
years ago, it is plain to be seen that some
one has been very industrious. Joseph
Whiting, who plays James Ralston in the
company appearing at Proctor's Opera House
this week, has played the part nearly 60t
times, as has also Louis Baker, who plays
Captain Redwood. This season is Ellie VIII
| toms first in Jim the Penman, as is the case
also with Charles Keat, who plays Baror
Hartfeldt. Both of the latter are great art.
lists and the parts they play are in goot
hands.

Petition For a New Fire Alarm Box nj
Court and State Streets.

Foe1ttOn For q New Fire Alarm BOX at
Court and State Streets.
A petition for fire alarm box to be located
in the vicinity of State and Court streets has
been started and has received many sigma
lures from the property owners and business
men in that neighborhood. The box is said
to be greatly needed there, as much valuable
time might be lost in sending in an alarm
should fire break out in that section. The
nearest boxes are now at steamer 2's house
on Artisan street and at the City market.
Those would only tend to mislead the fire de-
partment in responding to an alarm and
much valuable property would be endanger-
ed thereby. The petition will be handed in
at the next meeting of the board of fire CONS
missioners for their approval. A special
meeting of this board has been called for next
Tuesday evening to take into account the e.
Inmates for the department for the coming
year.
