AT THE EAST VILLAGE.

Saturday, June Oath, was the
mingling of the "old and new" to
celebrate the birthdays OF two indi-
viduals, Mrs. Calvin Morrill, and 7.
6. Hovey, which occurred on the
same day of the month. By the
thoughtfulness of the new, a few
friends were invited to an informal
gathering at the home of Mrs. Nor.
rill, but the disparity of their ages,
which was about twenty years, did
not mar the pleasure of the occasion.
Friendly greetings and congratula-
tions were exchanged. Tokens of re-
CARDS were duly appreciated, among
which was park chair for the
"old" which all were cordially in
vited to occupy at leisure. The per-
fume of flowers was not wanting
things Of beauty being JOY forever.

from the treasury of the Board of
Trade.
President Smith announced that
subject of the meeting was "The
Sanitary Condition of st. Johns
bury" and called upon w. II. Preston
to address the house.
Mr.. Preston stated that he had been
employed the last month in inspect
ing the sanitary condition of the vii
lage, and that it would take about
another month to go over the whole
village once. He had been cordially
received in all places and had found
much that needed immediate atten-
ton. In almost every case people
were glad to have their premises ex-
amlned, and more than willing to
remedy any existing evils. He found
a number of cases of people whose
drains were not connected with the
street sewers where such connection
could be easily made. He had found
instances of defective drainage and
plumbing that were veritable death
traps, and in several instances peo-
pie had traps in their pipes that con-
tinually syphoned. Mr.. Preston's
address was full of suggestions as to
drainage, sanitary plumbing, etc.,
and the Importance of keeping the
drains in perfect order.
President Smith asked DR.. Bullard
to speak on the subject, and the doc
tor gave short address which every
body III St. Johnsbury ought TO have
heard. He said the time had come
to take action upon the prevalence
OF typhoid fever in our midst. There
were II cases here June, the health
lest month in the year. Such
record was appalling, and he had
asked the state board of health to
come here this week to consider the
matter. He was convinced himself
that ~ per cent of the typhoid fever
cases could be traced to drinking the
village water. Everyone ought to
Doll the water they drink, and also
avoid drinking ice water, as typhoid
fever microbes could be preserved in
the ice. DR.. Bullard said that there
ought to be law to compel a man
to connect with the sewer wherever
the sewer passed by their house. He
hoped the citizens of St. Tohnsburv
would back up the trustees in their
attempt to preserve the healthful-
ness of this place.
President Smith thanked the speak
ers for their addresses and announced
that the subject of the August meet.
ing would be "Our Water SYSTEM"

NEW ROADS.

The selectmen have received two
petitions for laying out new roads.
One would extend from the end Of
the new street which will cross under
the railroad above to the Portland
street bridge and would open up
the property on the Ide extension.
The other would start from Cliff
street and openup buildinglots in the
property owned by Col. Franklin
Fairbanks which lies north of Under
clyffe. This street would extend to
what is known as Paddock street and
open up some desirable building sites.
