Damage Elsewhere In the Conntr.

Damage throughout the county appears
to have been general. but full details have
not been received. At Williamsville the
Stedman, Dickinson and Bingham dams
all went out, and two bridges by the Bing-
ham mill. At Brookside the Hunter and
Mundell bridges are gone. The hill roads
are badly washed and the road TO SO. New
fame is impossible.
In Wilmington and Wardsboro the worst
damage appears to have been by washing
hill roads, and tearing ont sluices The
road from Wilmington to West Dover is
nearly impossible, and the stage road to
Marlboro is badly washed A part of the
Forest ~ Stream clubs dam went out for
the second time. At Sadawga Jack Howe's
dam was destroyed, as was the Stetson mill
dam at jacksonville and the Shippee pond
dam. The narrow uage railroad to North
Adams is impossible below Readsboro on
account OF bad washouts.
News came yesterday by way of Green
held that fears We're entertained that New
ton Bros. big dam at Readsboro would 90
out and flood the Deerfield valley. but il
stood the test OF the high water.

RURAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY

The annual meeting of the Rural I'M
provement association was held at the
Brooks House Tuesday evening. In the
absence of the president, Col. c. \. Miles
acted as chairman. The reports of the
secretary and treasurer were read, accepted
and adopted. An informal talk upon the
work of the society followed. Mr. Miles
stated, for the executive committee, that
the work of last year was mainly with ref
erence TO care of the common, Fuller park
in Esteyville, the proper arrangement of
the grounds about the Wells fountain, the
railroad station grounds, and the flower
beds. The village officers were very help
full in furthering the work of the society
II was evident, as in all previous years,
that the moral effect of the sOciety's work
was excellent In most sections of the
village special pains was taken by owners
OF houses to keep their surroundings tidy
and attractive. Several flower beds were
given and other cases Of individual help
were noted. Among these was the work
of the Ladies' Enterprise society in Estey-
vile, which raised the handsome little sam
of Sl4.6l by an entertainment.
On proceeding to the election of officers
c. A. Miles was chosen president; George
l.. Durham, recording secretary; o. l..
French, corresponding secretary; II. b.
Chamberlain, treasurer. Executive COM
mittee, o. A. Marshall, 5. b. Emerson,

6. c. Averill, Miss Mary Fits, Miss Minnie
Tyler, Mrs V. .. Jones, Mrs. II. =. Well
man, Miss Amy Hines, Miss Lulu Clay,
Miss Clara Blanchard.
The old board of vice presidents was re-
elected, Mr.. Hough and Mr.. Leavitt, the
incoming Methodist and Unitarian pastors,
being chosen in place of Mr.. Webb and
Mr.. Phalen, removed.
In discussing the work of the coming
season it was thought best TO follow the
general lines heretofore pursued, which
have resulted in such marked improvement
in the general tidiness and attractiveness
of the village. 1t is to be hoped that none
of our people will take the society's work
purely as a matter of course, or forget how
much it has accomplished in an unobtru-
sive way. Its work can only be carried on
successfully so far as everybody feels it his
individual duty and pleasure to aid by Civ
ing the small annual contribution asked
for, and by giving his moral support in
other ways.
The condition of the railroad bank was
alluded to, and the hope was expressed
that every property holder and tenant abut-
ting thereon, would see that the premises
are at once put in proper condition for the
summer, The departure of the snow this
spring has developed a growing tendency
to carelessness, which, in view of the ex-
perience of the past, ought not to be allow
ed to become chronic A word to the wise
is sufficient, and these first days of May
are the time to speak the word and to act
upon it.
The treasurer's statement showed bal
ance on hand at the beginning of last year
of SS9.51, and total collections of S292.56,
The cost of the seasons work was S296 90,
and the balance of cash on hand is SS7. OS.

ton is 220, a gain of Il during the year
The report of General Secretary Simmonds
was in reference to the general work of
the association during the year At the so
Sunday afternoon meetings there was an
attendance of 26l3. Two special services
and 81 morning meetings were held and a
helpful Bible class conducted. As a result
of the religious work six have professed
religion and given evidence of conversion.
Reference was also made to the reading
room and the entertainment courses. Five
socials have been held with a total attend
ance of 74O, and two socials for the boys
with an attendance of $50. The gymna-
SUM was used for five months with an eX-
cellent instructor, and the l73 classes had
an attendance of 20S0. The reading room
has been refunished at a cost of 5000.
The secretary, in the closing part of his re-
port, says:
THE year as a whole seems to have been
prosperous one. The membership has Increase
the attendance at the meetings is greater, the
number who have protested conversion Is larger,
and some new lines of work have been developed
And while we have reason 10 thank God for the
prosperity which he has granted, the fields ahead
are still large, and the call to each for his person
al interest Is great

The contract of the village for the cleo
trio street lights expires within a few DAYS.
and the question is under consideration as
to the terms per light on which it should
be renewed, and the length of time. The
old contract was for five years. The plant
being then new, the company could not in
justice be asked to contract for a shorter
time. The present rate paid Is sos per
light. 1t is understood that the company
propose to make the price 800 on a new
contract The subject is under general
discussion, and many people believe that,
in view of the large number of lights now
used, and their increase year by year,
price much less than this should be made.
We are informed that the bailiffs are look
ing the matter up with care, having Sc
cured, or arranged to secure, quotations of
the prices paid by other towns like this.
The price fixed should be a just one. The
company, on the one hand, should not be
asked to sell the lights below fair living
profit, and the village, on the other, should
pay only fair market price for the SER
vice. We have no doubt that the bailiffs
will act with care and mpartiality. 1t lisa
question, certainly, whether the contract
should be for a term of years, or for only
single year.

NOT A BLOOMING SUCCESS.

The Plan of Holding the village Meet
ing I'm the Day Time---0o Votes Cast
and Is Voters Transact the other bus
ness.
The new law requiring village meetings
to be held In the day time is not a bloom
ing success as it materialized in Brattleboro
Tuesday. The lonesomest people in town
that day were the elections officers, who
spent the time as best they could from Q
o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, while 81 voters exercised the
right of suffrage, or a little more than
voter for every five minutes.
When, at 2 o'clock, the ballOtmg ceased
and the order of business called for by the
warrant was taken up, there were just 10
voters in the hall, including ten elections
officers and five every day citizens.
The routine reports were accepted and
adopted, and it was voted TO extend the
limits of the village TO include the resi-
dences and property of j. X. Strand, f. J.
Bohman, Andrew johnson and George
Barker.
The newly elected officers are: Bailiffs,
George w. Hooker, Henry c. Streeter,
Thomas Harmon, Luke Ferriter, W. Dorr
Perry; collector, Robert f. Gordon clerk
and treasurer, A. B. Hall; chief engineer,
c. c. Turner; auditor, c. A. Harris.
The change in the law was doubtless
made with good intent. Its purpose, prob
ably, was to give everybody a chance to
participate, and to prevent "jo6s" of any
sort from being introduced and hurried
through. 1t is evident, however, that the
effect is practically opposite to this. Thirty
five voters could have combined to change
the result of Tuesdays meeting so far as
the election of officers was concerned, and
less than half of this number could have
changed the result of voting on the other
three articles of the warrant.
In compact population like that Of the
village of Brattleboro the natural time for
the people to get together is in the evening,
and it is pretty sure that unless some spe-
cial excitement is on hand the voters will
not come out in the day time for general
discussion of village affairs.
Moreover it is an injustice to workmen
like those in the Estey and other factories
to ask them to lose half days time to at
tend a village meeting.
