HITTING WITH A CLUB,
Electric Wiring and Some other Con-
siderations.

The more the people of Brattleboro
have reflected upon the course of the
New England Insurance Exchange IN
the matter of electric wiring in this
village, the more they are convinced
the recent action of the exchange is
of an arbitrary and unbusiness-like
character. The ruling from which
the exchange quotes in the letters
addressed to the different users OF
electric lights, referring to the re-
quirement for standard" wiring, was
adopted in 1890, so that it has been
in force practically II years. During
all this time the exchange has allowed
the present system of wiring to be in
stalled and used without ever raising
a word of warning or criticism so far
as is now known, ellher from the eX-
change direct or through the several
agencies. No user of the electric
lights has been given to understand
that he was using unsafe wiring or
was violating the rules of the eX-
change.
And then all of a sudden what has
been the action of the exchange? A
young man was sent here to inspect
the wiring, no notice being given to
any property holder except as it was
known when the wiring was being
thus inspected. Then followed this
sudden deluge of notifications. So
far as the users of the lights are con
cerned, they have no personal knowl
edge whether the inspector was an
expert or not. They have a right to
hold the question open to inquiry as
to whether he was an expert. In any
case, his bearing toward those whom
he met was not always such as to in
spire either respect or confidence.
The ordinary usages and courtesies
of business life have been violated in
this matter by the exchange. In
stead of giving the property holders
any chance or hearing in the matter
whatever, the exchange has simply
walked in here and, in effect, used a
club and aroused universal antago
llSll lllSlCdu VI uolllS any llltdllo ~
inspire either confidence or good will
At the present moment, after the wir
ing has all been changed, there is not
the slightest assurance, under the
course of action adopted by the eX
change, that in another ten years, OF
five years, or one year, the exchange
will not adopt some new standard
and then walk in here with another
! club.
The incident has aroused a feeling
and rightly as we think, which has
long been latent, that property own
ers have some rights as against the
arbitrary action of the insurance in
terests, and that it is quite time that
they made themselves felt in the mat
| ter. The course of New Hampshire
in adopting and successfully main
tanning a valued policy law is an in
stance in point. So is the method Of
mutual insurance adopted by so many
communities in states to the west
where the insurance is found to in
sure at a cost which is only a frac
ton of that which We are paying here
in Vermont. Look at our fire los:
in Brattlehoro last year, s2113, anC
the total loss for a period of say ter
years past, and then see what a funC
for mutual protection would have
been accumulated in ten years time
had this community insured itself or
the basis suggested at even a small
fraction of the standard rates.

Dear Sirs: Your business is, when a house
burns down, to give the owner some money to

that the world got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down and the new
one too. What is better, we paint the houses
that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn; we insure the
houses that don't. You have the ashes and
smoke; all the houses are ours.
We paint lead and zinc; Deyoe. We sell the
paint to painters; don't paint.
Lead and oil ia the old-'ashion paint. Devoe
is zinc ground In with the lead and linseed oil

White River Valley Railroad Again

A hearing in the United States dis
trict court was held in the Brooks
House Monday afternoon in the case
of the Bibber, White company against
the White River Valley Electric Rail
road company on a petition on the
part of the receivers to have certain
individual subscriptions turned over
to them as an available asset of the
company. They were originally in
the hands of DR.. c. w. Brigham of
Pttsfield as trustee to collect and
turn over to the company. 1t ap-
peared that DR.. Brigham assigned
them to H. w. Burgett, vice presi-
dent of the company, by whom they
were assigned to John R. Upper, who
in turn assigned them to the White
River national bank of Bethel as col
lateral on a note. The receivers
claimed that Burgett had no authority
to make the transfer. Testimony
was taken on this point before A. F.
Schwenk as special master. The de-
PENDANT raised the question of the
jurisdiction of the court to determine
the question in a summary proceeding
on a petition. Judge Wheeler reserv-
ed decision on that point.
