out Goes the Telephone.

On motion of Member Stewart it was
decided to dispense with the telephone that
was placed in the Washington avenue build
ing for the convenience of the High school
class while occupying two rooms there.
This building is occupied by about 700 chill
dren and Member Henry opposed the re-
moval OF the telephone on that account.
Member Stewart opposed the payment OF
the $40 rent for the hall in the Masonic
temple used as an armory and drill hall by
the High school cadets. The rental is $50
a month";, half Of which is paid by the ca
diets themselves. A motion to pay the bill
prevailed, Stewart alone voting against 1t.
A bill for 50, presented by Janitor Peter
son Of the High school for extra work dur
ing the Christmas vacation, was rejected.
as there was no explanation forthcoming OF
what the extra work comprised.
Member Stewart opposed the payment Of
three .~janitors extra compensation, who had
been employed during the recent vacation
in placing the seats and desks and other
equipment in the new school at Cut on,
but the majority of the board decided to
allow the bills.
superintendent Hayden called attention to
the necessity Of a sidewalk from Locust
street to the new school at Cut OF to enable
the teachers and pupils to reach the build
ing without having TO wade up TO their
knees in the mud. The matter was referred
to the committee on buildings and grounds,

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
A Strong Address by State Superinten-
dent Morrow.

GENT NOfr0Ws
Music Hall was we'll filled Sunday
evening where union meeting was held
to celebrate the second anniversary of
the local branch of the Anti-Saloon
League. The executive committee of the
League and the local clergymen occupied
seats upon the platform. The meeting
opened with brief devotional exercises
consisting of two selections by the Meth
odist church choir, reading of the scrip
lures by Rev. A. c. Hussey, and prayer
by Rev. Edward M. Chapman.
Rev. Edward T. Fairbanks, president
OF the local organization, spoke briefly of
the first years work of the league. He
highly complimented the states attor-
ney, and the town and village officers
who have taken such an interest in the
enforcement of the law. He also praised
the hotel keepers for their support of the
present law. He said the executive COM
mittee had done quiet but excellent work
during the year and held regular meet
ings.
Rev. George W. Morrow gave the
principal address of the evening, and
made an eloquent and fair minded plea
for the enforcement Of law and suppress
sion of the saloon. He said the league
had branches in 1870 towns in Vermont,
in all of which annual addresses had been
given, and in many OF them meetings
were held monthly or bi-monthly. He
described in detail the work of the league
in Franklin, Washington, and Benning-
ton counties, and then touched upon the
matter of government licenses in this
state. There were over 500 now, but
over eleven per cent. had been cancelled
since last September. A year ago there
were 26 licenses in St. Johnsbury and
now there are 10. Aside from the town
agency only two of these licenses were
for spurious liquors, the balance being
held by those dealing in beer.
| MT. MOTTOW SdlQ the Anti saloon
League was organized in "a states and
was business institution run on busi-
ness principals. Its work was three-fold,
agitation, legislation, and the enforce
ment OF the law. Before closing he gave
some startling figures as to the expense
of our drink bill and some striking COM
parsons. He said that it costs the
American people 1925 100000 annually
for getting born, $500, 100000 annually
for getting married, $4,000 900 for
getting buried and ST 100000 900 for
getting drunk. We spend $5O5, 100000
annually for bread, 5000, 100000 for
meat, 5000 100000 for boots and shoes,
500, 100000 for education and $19, ,OOO,-
600 for religious purposes at home and
abroad a total of 81 1913 900, 900 for all
these staples, but $1,000, 100000 for
drink.
Mr.. Morrow's address was illumined
with many good stories, and he received
close attention from all. A collection for
the state league was taken at the close
of his address, after which the audience
pledged their support by rising vote to
the bill abolishing the army canteen,
which is now in the United States
Senate.
