CITY POOR HOUSE.
Location May Be Changed from Shell
burne Road to North Avenue.

There is a prospect that the present city
poor farm may be sold and the location
of the institution changed to the Good
rich farm on North avenue, which was
purchased last fall by the city.
George II. Allen of New York city, who
now owns the property formerly known as
the Lydia Beach farm. is DESTROYS of Sc
curing a greater lake frontage. Something
over year ago he secured portion OF
the poor farm and would now buy the en-
tire lot.
The present poor farm was purchased IN
1896 of Frederick Purdy and originally con-
tanned IS acres. From this lots have been
sold until now there are only about 81
acres. The house on the farm was built III
1853 at a cost of 80, Sob. The land of the
farm is very productive and farm produce
is sold each year to the amount OF nearly
$500
The Goodrich farm on North avenue has
a large farm house, which is used as an
isolation hospital. and if the poor hous,
is changed it will be necessary to con
struct Il new building for the inmates. The
present building on the old farm is badly
out of repair and will have to be improved
before long if a change is not made. 1t is
also claimed that it Is not fully adapted
to the needs of the city. There are about Il
acres ON the Goodrich farm but the land L.
not as productive as the farm at the south
end of the city. 1t is probable that de
cision in regard to the sale of the property
will be reached within a few days.

FISH COMMISSION CRITICISED
Have Extended Season for SEEMING Pike
Ten Days.

Some of the local fishermen and men
who are deeply interested in the hshing in
tcrests of the State are expressing great
Indignation over the action of the fish
commissioners in extending the time for
catching pike with Soines ten DAYS from
the lith of this month, when the season
would otherwise have closed. one man
characterized the matter as the State of
Vermont : going into the fish business and
said II the present proceedings should be
INDUCED in for FIVE years that there would
be no good fishing in Lake Champaign. In
the Canadian waters the season for catch
ing pike closed on April 18th.
ScI cral of the fish commissioners have
been in Swanton and vicinity for the pas
few days and some of them are said to be
the leaders in the work. No locality seems
to suffer more than that around MiSsisuloi
Say; The fish have been going into the
that they are seined both as they go up
ana us they return into the lake 1t is also
claimed that no effort is made to save the
spawn of fish other than pike and that the
spawn Of much of the pike is likewise de-
stroyed
Last Friday night SO barrels of pike were
ShlppCd to New York from Swanton and
AlburGh and it is said that AZ more were
sent out of Swanton Saturday This is
regarded as wholesale devastation. 1t is
supposed that the fish commissioners ham
die this matter, as it seems that no one
else has the power of extending the time.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Formal Resignation OF P. w. Clement
as President Of the Rutland.


The recent announcement in the Free
Press that p. w. Clement was to retire
from the presidency of the Rutland rail-
road was confirmed at a meeting of the
directors of the road in New York. when
he rendered his resignation as president,
to take effect on May 1, which resiGna-
ton was accepted. Henry q. Smith re-
signed as vice president and his resigna-
tian was also accepted. At the request
of DR.. W. Seward Webb. Mr.. Smith will
continue to act as purchasing agent for
the road until his successor is appointed.
On the 9TH of May, 1896 the Rutland
railroad, which had been previously ope-
rated under lease by the Central Vermont
Railroad company was turned over to its
owners. the control then being vested in
the Delaware & Hudson Canal company
Mr.. Clement had long been interested in
this property, both financially and as a
citizen of Vermont, and it seems probable
that he must have realized the possible
ties OF development. as he at once toon
steps for the purchase of this property
from the Delaware & Hudson Canal com
pany.
The property consisted at that time OF
20 miles OF road from Bellows Falls tc
Burlington, of Indifferent physical con
dition and having business almost wholly
local. The road to-day comprises Ala.
miles. and constitutes part of important
through lines between Boston and the
West via Montreal and Ogdensburs. and
between New York and Montreal anC
and other Canadian points. These CON
ditions have been brought about by the
purchase of the Ogdensburg & Lake
Champlain railway, by the building of th5
Standardization and Rutland & Noyar
railroads. by the purchase of the Ben
nington e. Rutland and the Chatham 6
Lebanon railroads and by tho purchase OF
the Rutland Transit company's reel o.
