Lavaut M. Read for Congress.

There have been conf lectures and rumors
that Judge l.. M Read Of Bellows Falls
might enter the race as candidate for con-
gressional honors in the second Vermont
district these rumors have elected highly
complimentary notices from the press OF
the district and state. and numerous ex-
pressions of good will and unsolicited Of
fers of support. Because of these tokens
of favor and este EN- and at the urgent So
lcitation Of friends Judge Read has author
lied the TIMES to make formal announce
ment of his candidacy.
So far only one other candidate has made
a public announcement of his candidacy,
the Hon Frank Piumley of Northfeld, al
though it is generally understood that the
present member, the Hon. w. w. Grout,
would not be averse to an eighth successive
election provided it is agreeable to his
| friends. As between these three men it j.
believed in this section of the state at leas
that Judge Read. to put it modestly, il
least the tqnai OF either OF the others In al
those qualiti.s which enter into a success
full public life and make repres 'ntative il
congress esteemed and respected by hi
constituents. The friends OF Judge Rea
would like to see him in congress, ,and fror
now un.il next June will make a stron
fight in bis beh If, using every honorabl
endpavor to further his interests. The
believe that his ability. his reputation as
lawyer and citizen. his experience as
legisator,-all demonstrate that, if chos
by the people of the second dist'i t to reT
resent them in congress, he will honor th
office and honor the district which bestow
=, the office.
Bellows Falls is one of the few large
pl.ces Of the state, yet political honor hs
never come to any Of her citizens. Ther

is legend to the effe t that one William
Henry of the town Of Rockingham was in
1886 chosen representative in congress
but the truth of this we have been unable
to verify. With this possible exception no
state or national office has ever fallen to
the lot OF citizen of Rockingham. Year
after year the voters of this section have
done valiant service in behalf of worthy
sons OF Windsor county and other parts of
Wlndham county; they now ask fer an ex-
change OF courtesies, and the united and
enthusiastic support of both these counties
in behalf of candidate every inch the
equal of any others, and in every way
qualified for the Office bis friends ask for
him.
Lavant Murray Read was born in War ls-
boro, December 26, 1916. received a CON-
mon school education in bis native town,
studied in the Leland and Gray seminary
in Townshend, read law in the Office of
Hon. Hoyt H.. Wheeler and was admitted d
to the bar of Wipdham county in 1869 He
began the practice of law in Jamaica, hav-
ing formed partnt rship with the Hon.
Hoyt H. Wheeler, but removed to Bellows
Falls in 1872. During bis 25 years resi-
dence in the latter place, he has built up a
large and lucrative law practice, and is
known over the whole state as one of the
keenest minds and most learned members
of the Vermont bar.
In 1886 he was elected Judge of probate
Tor the district Of Westminster in Windham
county, and has held the office since. He
was states attorney for Windham county
in 1891. He represented the town of
Rockingham in the general assembly in
1872, and was reelected in 1894. His
eminent qualifications as a legislator we re
quickly recognized, and from the first he
was counted one of the leading members of
the house. During his first term be was
made member of the committee on Judi
ciary, and chairman of the committee on
railroads and the committee on the revision
OF bills. During his second term be wa,
chairman Of the committee on judiciary the
most important committee of the house,
Under statute of 1894, EMIT led sAn act
to provide for the publication of the Yer
mont statutes" he was appointed one of a
committee of three to edit and superin' end
the publication of the Vermont statutes.
He was chosen president of the Vermont
bar association in 1892 and was grand Sec
retary of the grand 10 Ige of Masons Of
Vermont in 1868 and grand master in
| 1880 81. He is veteran of the war of
the rebellion with an honorable record,
h.ving enlisted in 1868 in Co. H of the %
Vermont volunteers; he was wounded in
the battle of the Wilderness, and was dis
charged August 20, 1865.
This in brief is the record of the man
the people of Wlndham county announce
as their candidate for congress in the COM
irg election. They invite on the part of the
other counties of the district a careful in.
spection of this record, and a courteous
consideration OF the claims made in behalf
of Judge Read.

ALL OBJEC,.
Fifth Street Assessment is I'm.
popular.
Board AdjOurns the Hearing and Refers
the Objections to the Council for
Relief.

When the hearing on the confr-
nation Of the Fifth street assess
ment, for the grading Of the
street between Cherry and War
rem streets and half the cost Of
the culvert over Warren creek, came
up before the board Of public
works Friday afternoon. There was a
pretty full representation present Of
the people who had been assessed for
the improvement. Nearly every one
who has been assessed objects, one
general ground being that the city
ought to pay the entire cost of the
culvert, inasmuch as it is a general
benefit to the city and that the city
has SO considered it in the past by
paying for the culverts across this
creek on Front, Second, Third and
Fourth streets. Some Of the persons
present claimed that their property
was too far away to be benefited,
while others referred to the alleged
inequality Of the assessments.
Written protests were filed by W.
N. Plymats Richard Randolph Parry,
Mary L. Sharing, Geo. T. Barr, Mrs.
Elizabeth A. Oliver aud Josep hine
Ahlstad. w. F. Hughes appeared for
Jane Lewis and said that her $3.50 as
sessment would be a practical coz
tiscation Of her lot. G. L. Ben edict
appeared for ]. H. Moore, and others
present were Mr. Oliver, Mr.. Lewis,
F. L. Lorentz and Soren Johnson.
Pre- sident Porter stated that 1885,
or three-eighths Of the asses smen9
was on the culvert.
Mr.. Lille asked whether the i'm.
proYement was petitiOned for, and
there was chorus of "noes."
Mr.. Thompson said that the board
had 40 discretion as regards the cul.
vert assessment. and President Porter
advised that the DIRECTORS state their
case to the council, which alone can
give relief. After this was done, an
other assessment would be made.
This was satisfactory to all, and
the board adjourned the hearing I'M
til Monday, Jan. 9th. at p. N. The
council meets Jan. 7th.
