The Bridge on Fire-Fire Protection
Needed.

Needed.
\ blaze was discovered in the roof
OF the covered bridge near the steam
mill Tuesday afternoon. The shin
gled roof of the bridge was covered
with iron roofing a few years ago and
the structure was supposed to be
spark proof, but fire in some way got
to the dry shingles and made rapid
Roadway for a few minutes. j. Nj.
Gilbert soon appeared on the scene
with his fire eXtinguisher and deaden-
ed the flames till water could be
brought. This was the fourth fire
scare in this place, including chimney
burnings and a lamp explosion, within
a few weeks and a reference to our
fire department seems in place. We
have six Underwater fire eNtin-
guishers in the village. all owned by
individuals. but it is feared that most
of the owners would be compelled to
look up their cards of instruction, and
perhaps send to Bratteboro after sui
phuric acid before being able to re-
charge their machines. Our supply
of ladders would prove wholly made
quate should we have real fire to
fight.
Under these circumstances it would
seem the part of wisdom to raise say
500, if we can make it no more, by
subscription, with which to buy a good
supply of ladders and pals, using the
balance for the purpose of hand fire
extinguishers, all to be kept in some
central place and have our young
men schooled in their use. Full in
surance even is no compensation for
the loss of any material part of
small village like ours, By the way
where do you keep your ashes?

c. L. Hall Awarded Mail-Carrying
Contract.


Contract.
1t is understood that G. l.. Hall, who
has carried the mail for the past u
years between Williamsville station
and West Dover, has secured the con
tract for the four years beginning
July LIST next. Prior to the building
of the b. & w. railroad the govern
ment paid from $500 to $1,000 per
year for carrying a triweekly mail
from the changing place at West Dunn
merston, where connection was made
with the Brattleboro and Townshend
route, to West Dover. After the rail
road came the route was shortened
about two miles, and the mail carry
ing has since been bid off, on the ba-
sis of a daily mail from Williamsville
station to West Dover for an average
of about $40O or $4?5 per year, usually
by parties living in Missouri and sub
let by them to the parties owning the
stage property on the route, at the
same starvation rate.
At the first session of the present
Congress a law was passed requiring
all bidders on star mail routes to re-
side on or contiguous to the same.
thus shutting out the foreign bidders
and giving the men who do the work
fair chance. 1t is understood that
Mr. Hall has secured the contract at
price which will make the route a
paying one. The specification calls
for two mails per day each way be-
tween the station and East Dover.
