THE AINESBURGH CREAMERlES.


To the Editor of the Free Press:
There appeared in recent issue of the
FREE PRESS an article written by Mr. vii
lard of North Fer1'isburgh attempting to
criicsc the Hncsburgh creamcrieS because
We paid our patrons their honest dues. Our
FIRST thought was to ignore the article Gu
tirclv. as it would in itself condemn the
writer and expose to the world his in
ability to successfully manage Il creamery.
We do not wish to create a disturbance
among tho patrons of the gentleman S
creamery, vet il is Unavoidable, if he at
tempts to compete with his neighbors, and
still sell his butter for the price represent
ed by him, for the month of August,
one of two things is very evident. lie
either makes a poor quality of butter or has
very poor market The report alluded to
bv Mr. Willard contains facts. nevertheless,
and we are prepared to suhstantiate them, not
only bv our books, but 10y every patron OF
the Valley creamery, and we would he
pleased to prove to the gentleman, not only
our sanity, but ina modest way our ability
to do business And in conclusion WoulC
suggest to him that instead of making falS'
accusations about hi, ucghhols he iuVo,ti
gate his own creamery and secure a goo,
market for his butter,

THE VERMONT ELECTRIC COMPANY
Stockholders Issue S1i 900 of New stock
Power station aud Dam Nearing Com

Power station ana Dam Nearlns COm-
petion.
The stockholders of the Vermont Electric
company met, Tuesday afternoon. Two
thirds of the stock was represented. The
meeting was called by the directors to see il
the stockholders swould vote to issue $50, 600
in new stock. It was voted unanimously to
issue St4. 600 of stock. to he distributed pro
rata among the stockholders. Owing to n
few alterations in the original plans for the
power station and dam, now nearing com
pletion at the gorge, the cost of the
plant will exceed the first estimate by about
the amount raised yesterday. Both the
building and dam have been built eight
feet higher than was contemplated and 200
aud 1000 horse power wheels have been de
cidcd upon instead of the GOO power wheels
as estimated. These changes have added
materially to the cost Had it not been for
the enlargement Of the plans from the origi-
nal designs, the expense of the erection of
the whole plant would have been within the
estimate of $50, 600.
With the completion of the roof the SUI
per structure of the station is practically
finished. The roof is three inches i'll thick
ness. heavily truSscd with iron and is capa-
ble of bearing the weight of many tons.
Besides the thousands of tons of stone, 20OU
barrels of cement and $50 tons of iron have
been used in the construction of the station
alone. One water wheel i, already in posi-
tion. two more are now being set VI
and carpenter, are finishing the rackets
