of covering up their show of feeling.

The Board of Health of New York
City is hotly pursuing the hardened gen.
try of that city who are dispensing adul-
turated milk for the genuine article, and
in this work the Board seems to be re
ceiving the hearty cooperation of the
courts. Several of the villianous chaps
were, Monday, sentenced to ten days
imprisonment and fined $50, punish
ment none to severe under the clrcum-
stances. Analysis, in one case showed
that the fluid was composed of IS per
cent. of milk, % per cent. of skinned
milk and II per cent. of water, and
other cases were equally as bad. Now
that the Metropolis has started the work
of ferreting out and Furnishing this class
of those offenders who jeOpardize the
public health by dealing out unwhole-
some and dangerous articles for human
consumption, it should be taken up in
the smaller cities, the towns and the vii
lagos throughout the country. There
are few communities of fairly large size
that would not be benefited by vigor-
Gus crusade against this form of dishon-
esty.

County Road Commissioners
Meeting.

In accordance with law passed at the
last session of the Legislature, the road
commissioners of the different towns in
each county m eet twice each year. The
second meeting of the commissioners for
the towns in Bennington County was
held in the town hall at Arlington Tues
day, the following commissioners being
present: j. o. Sanford, Stamford, pl esi-
dent; A. r. Merchant, Pownal. secre-
tary; E. B. Smith, Manchester; Q. A.
Hall, Sunderland; Tyler Goodell, Reads
boro: j. Mattison, Sunderland; Simeon
Dean, Shaftsbury; A. Hopkins, Rupert;
G. II. lockwood, Bennington; NJ. H.
Kilian, Arlington. There were also
present quite number of others inter
ested in good roads. The following
topics were presented and discussed by
different persons:
l. The expenditure of the per cent.
State tax on the permanent work that
can be done at present by the towns.
2 The care of the roads through sum-
mer and fall (Removal of stones, mud
holes, the cleaning of bitches, culverts,
etc.
3. The material suitable for repairing
or building roads.
4. How can the annual expense of re
pairing the roads be reduced? What
causes the greatest outlay-water, traffic,
ETC.?
5. The Importance of road drainage
and how best carried out.
6. What are the most important roads
of Bennington County? What perma-
nent work has been done on them this
season? What should be done next year?
I. The present law and suggestions
for its amendment.
The discussions showed that the roads
are kept in better condition and at much
less expense under the present system of
management than formerly. The five
pc: cent. State tax expended in perma-
nently improving the highways is an ex-
celent feature of the new law, as shown
by the work throughout the county the
past season.
The meeting was quite harmonious
and the deliberations and discussions
cannot fail to be of good to those present.
