Street improvements.

Mr.. Editor:-I would like a small
space in which to ask Of some of those
ia authority few questions in rela-
tion to some Of the seemingly queer
things that are being done in our
city.
The first and most vital question
relates to our almost impossible
streets, upon which almost nothing
is being done to relieve them of
their terrible condition. For ten
years or more stone chips have been
carted and dumped into the streets,
raked over and over again. The peo-
pie have been obliged to ride over
them to their utter disgust, for sea-
son. The larger chips after a while.
are gathered up and carried off. Now
after all these years child twelve
years old could see that this sort of
road work is positively untitled for
our streets, and to continue 1t furth-
err is childish and weak minded.
| Business men thought it was the
cheapest kind of material to be OBJ
tanned but the writer is informed
that it is a fact that to dig this
stuff up and cart it into the street
and cart away the large chips that
are not wanted costs this city more
than it would to buy crust ed stone in
two grades on the cars delivered at
any place on the railroad along the
line from Ayers street to Berlin street
which would be within 10 rods of the
place needed at any point. If this is
so, why is this terrible stone chip
nuisance continued upon this long
suffering public? Again the law says
the stone shall be cleaned out of the
roads once month but here they are
raked into piles and left to be spread
out into the road again. Why is it
necessary when such small force Of
men are employed upon the roads for
the city.to pay two bosses the super
intendent and commissioner?
1t looks from the outside as though
the superintendent could get along
very we'll alone, and were he to have
a little more chance and less bossing
things would be better for all. just
try it month or SO. Also try one
short piece of road with crushed stone
in two grades keeping actual account
of expense and compare it with these
hob gobbled jobs that are at present
being done. Also have the street
railway keep their road as good as the
charter calls for crossings, etc.

WILLIAMSBURG.

Gordon Martin on Saturday after
noon had been to the Wells & Lamson
quarry, and taken on load of granite
for Barre. He had not gone very far
before something occurred to throw
him from the load and rendering him
unconscious for little time. A cash
was cut on the back of the head and
he was hurt about the back. How
serious the case will prove cannot be
determined yet.
One of our Vermont veterans was
telling us last week of a favor done
him in the late war Of the rebellion,
by our late Senator J. S. Morrill,, which
he remembers with great gratitude.
Sickness in his wife's family led him
to ask for brief Through. His pa
pers were duly made out and sent to
Washington, ID. G., to Gen. II --,
who was the officer to give or refuse
it. 1t was refused. This soldier then
went to Washington and asked Sena-
tor Morrill, to interctd de for him, who
was glad to do it. The Senator CAV,
him an unsealed letter to the general,
and added, "if he refuses to grant the
furlough come back to me-" 1t was
refused and the soldier returned to
Mr.. Morrill,, who at once gave him
another and sealed letter to the gen
eral This letter was eilectual and
the furlough was granted for a week.

Living in Clover.

'fHotei men give out that they warn
each other by circulars about dead BEATS"
said the slick looking man with the high
hat, but don't you let that stop you IL
you want to live high for a week. Few men
like to publish the fact that they have
been done up. It's the easiest thing in
the world to beat a. first class hotel. All
you want is a good suit of clothes and
plenty of cheek A grip with a few shirts
and collars Is as good as a trunk You
drive UP in style. You register TO get the
clerk and threaten the servants. A check
book is a good thing for show, but YOU
pay for nothing. You talk in a loud voice;
you make plenty Of kicks, and you order
the best wines for Inner. Lands. but the
whole staff of the house wifi fall over each
other to make 1t pleasant for you! You
don't pay the first weeks bill. On the
contrary, you are indignant and demand
an apology. When the second week Is
due your drafts have not come. You will
be worked out of the house, but with
gentIeness and apologies. They dant
want a row, and they don't want notoriety.
You'll be forgiven IL you'll only go, and
il you take up your quarters for the next
two weeks right across the street no ore
from the hotel will give you away. When
q. man beats us we like to see him beat
our neighbor, you know. It's nice and
genteel work, with no kicks nor hard
names. and there is always room for one
more In the profession"
