The House that Kip BuiItr Not I'm
attleboro.
1t has been taken for granted that Rud-
yard kipling's new house and barn and ar
tesian well would swell the list of Brat
tleboro's building record by some $50. 900,
but although the noted novelist is general
~ accredited 10 Brattleboro he is in reality
a resident of Dummerston. his new house
being short distance north of the Brat
tleboro line. Kipling's property will there
fore be added to the grand list Of Dunn
merston, but We shall not for that reason
release it as one of the sights and attrac-
lions OF Brattleboro.
