In the matter of the petition of the Brattle-
boro Street Railroad company to the
board of railroad commissioners, under
the provisions of No. sc, of the acts
of 1894.
This cause came before the board upon
the petition of the BrattleborO Street Rail
road company, dated on the I'd day OF Feb
ruary, A. d. 1895, and was heard at Brat
tleboro, Vt, on the 22d day of February,
A. D. 1895, after due notice to the petit
toner and to the selectmen of the town OF
Brattleboro. The petition may be referred
to.
The petitioner appeared by its counsel,
Waterman. Martin & Hit The town of
Brattleboro did not appear except that
majority of the board of seeCtmen were
present at the hearing and as citizens of
Brattleboro participated therein, but did
not so appear in their official capacity.
The Estey Organ company, j. j. Estey,
L. X. Fuller, Geo. w, Hooker, B. D. Har-
ris, n. f. Cabot, Francis Goodhue, o. j.
Pratt, Mrs L. X. Fuller, William F. Rich
ardson and L. F. Adams appeared by Has
kins d Stoddard, their attorneys, and OPP
posed the petition.
1t appeared that the petitioner was in
corporated as stated in the petition, that
S12, 300 of its capital stock had been sub
scribed, but no part thereof had yet been
called for or paid in.
1t also appeared that the petitioner had
failed to agree with the selectmen of the
town of Brattleboro as to the location,
manner of construction or use of the rail-
road as stated in the petition.
At the opening of the hearing counsel
for the opponents to the petition insisted
that the board had no jurisdiction under
the act of 1894 referred to, because the /.
permission of the selectmen of the town of I.
BrattleborO had not been first obtained, .
and that the board could only have iuris- /
diction when disagreement arose as to |
location, manner of construction. or use of ,
therailrOad, after permission, the selectmen .
had first been obtained for building and
operating the same.
In the opinion of the board, such is not
fair construction of the act in question
The commissioners believe that the charter
of the petitioner, and the act of 1894, when
construed together, authorize the petitioner
to build and operate its road in the town
of Brattleboro, and constitute this board a
tribunal to locate the same, upon failure
of the petitioner and the proper municipal
authorities to agree with reference thereto.
Later in the hearing the opponents
claimed that as to that portion of the route
of the prol )sed railroad within he limits
OF the incorporated village Of Brattleboro.
the selectmen of he town had no iurisdic-
tion; that their permission to build and
operate the railroad therein was not nee
essary or prerequisite, and conceded that
as to that part of the road in the incor-
porated village, the bailiffs of the VILLAGE
were the proper officers to grant such per-
mission.
The charter of the village of BrattIeboro
authorizes the incorporated village. among
other things, to "direct the cleaning. re.
pairing and improvement of streets high

same from injury" and it appeared that
the village had enacted ordinances tha' 10
some extent regulated the use Of 'de
streets.
The streets of the village, in common
with the other highways in the town, are
kept in repair by the town road commis
sioner, and the selectmen have sole 400.
thority to lay out or discontinue highways
in the village, and have charge Of the
bridges therein over which it is propose 10
construct the railroad. The petitioner con.
tended that the selectmen were the proper
authority to grant permission to build and
operate the railroad in the limits Of The
village, but to meet the contention of the
opponents introduced, nearly at the. close
of the hearing, and under objection from
the opponents, the permission in writing
of the balliffs of the village to the location
of the railroad in the village limits on the
same route as proposed in the petition pre-
sented to this board.
The only question presented to the board
lOl Ndio 10 " bAA1 ACSthttJtI VI
the proposed railroad.
The commissioners, after an eXamna-
tion of the premises and hearing the par
ties, decide that as to so much of said pro.
posed railroad as is without the limit. Of
the incorporated village of Brattleboro,
shall be located as described in the petition
As to so much of said road as is within
the incorporated village of Brattleboro
the commissioners are of the opinion that
the permission of the baliffs of SAID vii.
lage for its location therein, is an agree.
ment with the proper officers as contem.
plated in the act of 1894. If the act Of
1894 be construed as claimed by the
petitioner, and as matter of law under
such acts the selectmen of the town are tie
officers who should grant permission for
the location of the road in the village liu-
its. The commissioners, in view of the fac,
that the opponents of the petition failed to
point out any route for the, proposed road
whatever, or to show wherein the route
asked for by the petitioner is not proper or
decide that the railroad shall oe
ocated in the limits of the incorporated
village as described in the petition in thl.
,ase, except that it shall not be laid from
he south end of Main street bridge along
Depot street to point near the track Of
Central Vermont railroad company,
The commissioners do not attempt to
ocate the route of the road by course and
ilstance or more definitely than as Sc,
orth in the petition, but either party nav
lpply for further hearing if desired, upon
he question as to the precise location o,
he railroad.

Sailing down the street with most dignI-

waist and became broad at the feet in the

The one in headgear as can be seen, runs

is neither rhyme nor reason in big hats

boys. This course in the Teachers Col
lege is treated with the same seriousness
as any other course, and the boys in the

the third grade, they may take wood
carving instead. In the beginning when
she knew she had eighteen rebcIliUus

very idea of sewing, enthusiast as she is,
she felt considerably on her metal. She
began talking sails to them,
provided them with sailclSth and other
and a more enthusiastic class
she never had. Soon every boy had
made his own boat and became an ex-
pert in making and mendrg miniature
sails. Then there was tho making Of
balls with the various stitches. and to
keep up the manly tone of the class they
were taught to darn their sweaters and
sew on buttons.
