The County Buildings Question.

The question of Brattleboro VS.. New
fame on the question of the proposed
removal of the county shire has really
only just begun. More evidence will
come in from time to time which should
be fairly weighed, and it should be borne
in mind that the defense is forced upon
Newfane. One prominent man here
says he has been trying to put himself
in place of his brothers, property owners
in Brattleboro, and he believes he can
honestly claim, all things considered,
that he should vote no removal. Another
also a man of careful utterance saws
that two weeks ago in Brattleboro sew
eral business men first preached the
subject to him, saying they should do
nothing to help the proposed scheme
1t is said that Judge Holbrook of New
York, son of eX-Gov. Holbrook, recent
ly stated while enjoying a trout din
ner here that Newfane could keep the
location of county buildings If a good
fight be made for them and that he
thought his father stood opposed to
removal. From what is told us by
people of that town We have reason to
believe there will be decided opposition
even In that camp TO the burden of
needless expenses which removal would
entail.
