Special Town Meeting.

| About $50 voters were called to order al
2:15 Monday afternoon to act on the warn
ing for a special town meeting in reference
to paying. for the new bridge over White
river and to see what action the town
would take as to the damage ofthe Electric
Light and Power Co.
+. A. Markham moved to raise q 900 to-
wards paying for the bridge, and after
wards accepted an amendment that it be
/ 15e on the grand list Of 1902. Mr.. Markham
I spoke Of the hard times in Bethel and
/ thought that this would represent as large
burden as the voters could bear.
/ A. p. Hunton's views were called for and
he explained the rights and liabilities of
the selectmen and the town; how il was
the duty Of the selectmen to build such
bridge with such approaches as they
thought best and the duty of the town to
pay for it.
Robert Noble thought with the present
tax voted there would be quite surplus to
go towards the bridge, as with the same
tax two years ago, there was a surplus ov-
or ordinary expenditures Of sl,400 and last
year with the same tax a bridge of $500
cost was built and a surplus Of $500.
r, }. Flint, chairman Of the selectmen,
said that the cost OF the temporary bridge
was n 400 and OF the new bridge 5000. to
which must be added the cost Of putting
the abutments into shape and OF doing
whatever fortifying was thought necessary.
The cost of both these last items was very
uncertain. II would not be necessary TO
entirely relay the abutments, but to only
take of the top until a firm foundation
was reached. Abutment work was figured
by the cubic yard and estimates had been
made on the work varying from = to II
per cubic yard. The selectmen had em-
ployed competent expert advice on the
need of rebuilding the abutments.
w. b. q. Stickney favored a policy of |
paying as we 90 as much as we could and i
showed that with interest charges a tax Of |
10 would not leave much to apply on the |
debt. He called the attention Of the voters /
to the proud position Bethel had always /
Of keeping out Of debt, even in /
the hard times OF the civil war. and be /
moved to amend Mr.. Maxham's motion So |
that II would read 5Oc on the dollar of the |
grand list
c. r. Noble thought this was hard on
the taxpayers residing in the town district
rs they had large town school district
tax this year
Mr.. stickney's amendment to Mr.. Max
hams motion was then adopted and passed
As amended.
In regard to second article in the warm
ing, as TO what action the town would take
IS to the damages of the Electric Light Co,
Mr.. Stickney stated that he had acted as
counsel for the company, was now their
counsel and would like to state to the
meeting the position of the company and
aid that the company was ready to do all
hat was fair and that they were able to do;
hat they would draw down the water IL
for the work on the abutments
md would aid towards the cost Of fortify-
ng. lie said this business was best left in
he hands OF the selectmen and moved to
diourn, which motion was carried

Rochester Vermont.
Dear Sir: You paint lead and oil, don't
you? Do you know why a house turn.
flat in spots and streaks in a few weeks
before the paint has had any chance To
chalk or wear?
Devoe lead and zinc don't fiat. It's AZ
glossy as ever until it begins to wear: il
keeps its gloss for two or three wears.
When the gloss begins to go, the paint is
beginning to 20. Ii is the first sign al
wear-it ought to be.
We suppose the fiatting is due to water
in lead, but why it should fiat in spots and
not all over is more than we know.
There IS water in all whitehead in the
making We dry it out; perhaps nobody
else does.

NEGRO Insane at Mount Vernon.

Today about 400 insane negro ma
tients will be removed from the Ala
bama Insane Hospital at Tuscaloosa
to the new hospital at Mt. Vernon on
the banks of the Alabama river. At
Mt. Vernon there Is a great farm. and
the ample buildings of an old-time mil.
itary establishment, which have been
thoughtfully remodelcd and adapted to
hospital uses.
Not only will the Tuscaloosa hos.
pital be relieved, but it will be enabled
to receive many patients now cooped
up in county jails and otherwise con-
fined under circumstances that prom.
Use no Improvement in their condition.
The State should go further, and make
Mt. Vernon a retreat for all negro
patients, leaving to Tuscaloosa the
care of all white patients. No doubt
this will be the outcome, and both
races will thereby be benefited.
At present the overcrowded condi-
ton of the Tuscaloosa Hospital is not
creditable to the State. Patients are
refused admission that should be ac.
cepted, and those accepted are moi
comfortably accommodated on account
of the overcrowded condition of the
hospital. 1t is impossible to overcrowd
Mt. Vernon and Tuscaloosa If both are
equipped to their full capacity, at least
not in the next ten years. The re.
moval of all negro patients to Mt
Vernon seems the better plan, with
DR.. George A. Searcy in charge OF the
hospital on the Alabama.

and SO on, We need not stop to inquire.
The government has uncovered all
such tricks, and 1t has ample evidence
of repeated violations of the Sherman
act. THE tight arrangements" of the
Blk packing concerns are all fully
known to the government, and the
entire conspiracy has been put on the
defensive in court.
So far so good. Although the trust
tolerates no competition, naming prices
to butchers and retailers, and requir-
ing the butchers and retailers to pay
promptly under the penalty of being
blacklisted, and TO conduct their bust
ness in general as the trust directs
leaving the trust free to dicker with
the railroads and to pinch the farmers
and ranch owners as to them seems
best, yet 1t insists that all this is not
in restraint of interstate commerce.
If tho Sherman act does not strike at
a scheme that directly attacks all COM
petition, that robs millions of people,
14t assails the rights of thousands of
traders-if 1t does not contain a rem
edy against such abuses, then indeed
it is a very poor and insufficient act,
and 1t should be either repealed or
amended The court will determine
this very point.

Coming of the Seaboard.

The application of the Seaboard Air
Line to the City Council for permission
to enter the city via Avenue A and
on the north side along Tenth ave
nue. should be granted, and that, too,
in a manner that shows we welcome its
coming and will rejoice thereat. The
proposed line would enter the city
through it's most sparsely settled dis
crict. 1t would do no harm whatever
in the streets mentioned, and the COM
ing of the great system to this town
will raise the value of every piece of
property in it.
No donation of money is asked, no
subscription for stocks or bonds is
solicited. Nashville was recently re-
quired to issue one million in bonds
In order to procure the building of q
short line to a point on the Illinois
Central Railroad. In the present case
nothing is asked for except a legal
right to come in over certain streets
that are not much used. All the Sea-
board needs from the people of this
town is a fair and square opportunity
to get in. This great railroad system
needs terminal facilities here, and we
need 1t, and all the terminal facilities
we can give it in all reason will after
all be but given to ourselves. For a
railroad corporation is of a semi-public
nature, serving the public while 1t
serves itself. Let us then give it fair
and equal chance. Let us, so far as
we can, put it on footing that will
enable it to do business with satisfac-
ton both to itself and to the people.
ihO PC"bO1lu 10 great system,
stretching from the Potomac on the
North to Florida on the South, and to
Alabama at least on the West It is
system full of growth and progress
iveness, and we need it. 1t may need
a terminal here, but we know we need
it. Let us then aid it so far as we rea-
sonably can, and let us do this in
free, frank. and cordial manner. All
railroads that knock at our gates so
to speak should be welcomed, and the
Seaboard should be given very warm
welcome.
