rzr ANNUAL, v1I1,AqH REPORT.


The annual village report is now in the
hands of the printers and will be issued
from The Phoenix Job Printing office
ready for distribution tomorrow evening
or on Monday morning. The bailiffs open
their report with a paragraph4n regard to
the excellent sanitary condition maintained
throughout the village. and its satisfactory
results shown in the record of only seven
deaths in each 1000 inhabitants during
the year-the lowest death rate, the bail
ifs believe, of any village or city of like
population in the United States. The
introduction of the Gamewell fire alarm
system and its satisfactory operation are
referred to-. The erection of suitable
hook and ladder house on the site of the
present building is recommended, and ar
engagements have been made with Mr.
Crowell for an exchange of land so as to
give room for this purpose.
There are 81 electric lights in operation,
and two more have been contracted for,
one in Estevvlle and one for the railroad
crossing. A contract has also been made
for three all-night arc lights, one near the
town hall, one near the banks, and one at
the bridge these displacing eight gas lamps.
The net increase of cost will be only 500.
Last year, tax rate of 25 cents on dollar
proved insufficient to meet the necessary
village expenses, with the result that the
village now has a floating debt of $3.50,
which ought to be wiped out the coming
year An unexpected expense of about
500 was incurred in the repair of the Flat
street sewer The introduction of a steam
heating apparatus into the Elliot street en-
CINE house the purchase of new hose
cart, and the establishment of new hose
company. also increased the years eN-
penses.
The treasurer's statement is printed in
detail, showing in just what manner all the
money of the year has been expended. The
amount to be raised 10y taxation for the
coming year is estimated at Sl3, S39.3I, and
a tax of b cents on a dollar is recon-
mended.
The report of the chief engineer shows
the condition of the fire department and all
its apparatus to be excellent.
Mr. Mcclure, chief of police, congresses
his report into less than a dozen lines, say
ing that the good order of the village, so
commonly remarked upon. is due to the
desire of all Brattleboro people to make the
village good place TO live IN, and he adds
in conclusion the significant remark that
my experience has taught me that the
reputation of a country village rises or falls
with the enforcement or nOn-enfOrcement
of laws relating TO the sale of intoxicating
liquors.
