work of the marshal and aids never was
done better in Bellows Falls. Prompt

Board of Trade Notes.

Although the Board of Trade is not
accomplishing wonders it is doing some
thing all the time. The executive COM
mittee holds regular monthly meetings
and matters of general public interest
are discussed. The attention of the
board has been called to that portion of
the electric road inside of corporation
bounds. 1t is stated that in some places
the track is several inches higher
than the road, and that is violation of
the restrictions placed on the road by
it's charter.
Complaint has also been made that the
dead pine trees on the bank opposite
Morgan park are continual menace and
ought to be cut down. The attention of
the bailiffs to this matter is invited.
In the words of the colored brother of
Brattleboro the new depot is ''only on
paper yet" and it is possible that that
is as far as it will progress for some
time. DR.. Webb, president of the Rut-
land railroad, is kept busy looking after
his deprecated stock and it is probable
that even Rutland will not get new
depot this week. The board proposes,
however, to keep hammering. III. D.
Ryder has been selected as the agent OF
the board to bring the needs of this com
munity in this respect to the attention OF
the judges of the supreme court 1t is
hoped some pressure may be brought tC
bear that will hasten favorable action.
