Who Want License :?

The Wilmington Times says: 'Here is
the stereotyped argument with which 80

you: L oppose prohibition because it does
not prohibit Il favor high license because

if it could be enforced, but it cannot

upon you are the following classes:

moral convictions.
THE drunkard who has been ruined
by strong drink.

Shall the Town Pay the Damagesa

Shall the Town Pay the Damagesp
As noted in another column a special
town meeting has been warned and the
purpose is to instruct the selectmen to cut
the top of the hill on Pine street at least IL
feet, this to give the Bellows Falls and Sax
tons River Street Railway company grade
which the selectmen refused to give but
which the company considers necessary tor
the successful construction and operation
of the road. 1t is understood that another
object in calling the meeting is to see if the
town will assist the road to the extent Of
paying all land damages which may be
awarded, the company paying for the cut
ting and grading. This is new move on
the part Of the promoters Of the road. and,
in the opinion of the TIMES, the request
should be carefully and thoughtfully con-
sidered by the taxpayers Of the town before
final action is taken.
We have often said and still believe that
the large majority of the people of the town
want the road built. But how badly do
they want it builtp Are they willing to
put their hands in their pockets and assist
the road in material wayp 1t has been
understood all along that the road did not
desire town aid and was ready and willing
to pay all cost, and damages if it was given
the grade on Pine street which it consid-
cred necessary. But it now appears that,
like individuals and other corporate ins.;
tutions, it is willing to take all it can get.
No one will blame the road for that, and,
no doubt, good argument can be advanced
to show why the town should help the
enterprise.
Supposirg majority Of the voters think
the town should contribute, the next thing
to settle is how much shall it contribute
and in what wayp Shall it donate definite
or an indefinite sumP Shall it say we will
pay the damages whatever they are, OF
shall we give outright $1,000 or $4,000
The question of damages is always uncer.
tain, and IN this instance 1t may be lmpos'
sible to determine the amount until the
grading is done and the road IN operation
Shall the town take the chancesp
We believe that it is contended by some
that there will be little or no damages, ir
fact, the grading will be positive benefit
to the property owners in the district which
will be effected but can this be shown at &
town meeting held before shovel full o
dirt is turnedp Will these property
owners stand up in meeting and say they
will have no claim tor damages, or thu
selectmen that no damages will be awarded
II not, will it be wise tor the town to vott
to stand responsiblep These are question:
that will bear pondering.
