State Highway Commissioner Hon.
j. o. Sanford publishes letter, the
full text of which may be found on
page three of the Waterman of Feb
ruary IL, calling public attention to
the matter of election of road commits
sioners at the coming annual town
meetings. The letter contains some
sound logic and if the suggestions
which he offers are given the consid-
Grafton which they deserve, it will
unquestionably be of material benefit
to the highways throughout the State.
Mr.. Sanford says, cit must be appar-
ent to anyone who has given thought
to the matter that changing, vacil-
| lating policy in road matters is bad
policy. Such towns have made very
| little progress in permanently improv-
| ing their roads. L plead Tor the re-
election of the town road commission
ers The present commissioners as a
class, were well chosen. Almost
without exception they have done
good work. Let your prejudices and
political preferences wait. Let us at
tend to the roads. Some trouble
grows out of the system of winter
road management. Usually an APP
preparation is made by the town for
roads-including snow work. This
plan is often embarrassing to the COM
missioner, with his best calculation
and the uncertainty of Vermont win
tiers he is apt to overrun the appropri-
alton, making a deficit which is al
ways disseminating. All this trouble
is obviated in some towns by assessing
a special tax for winter road work.
L suggest that this plan be more gen
orally adopted by the towns. " Does
not our present road commissioner
Justly come under the class "wel
chosen" and "done good work.? Il
so should not the State commissioner
request be acquiesced in and Mr.
Buxton be reelected? 1t is up to the
voters of the town for consideration.

We lately had a cordial invitation
from one of the Waterman corps to
call sometime and see their new type
setter. We do not recall any previous
invitation of that exact kind from
that source. We may not rightly di-
vine the reason for such neglect, but
possibly it was feared such call on
our part might lead to mutual haii
| pulling, or even blood letting. But
now with the new hairless, bloodless
mechanical typesetting machine such
an invitation would probably seen
safe. AT first we hailed the installa
ton of that typesetter in the Watch
man plant with delight. But we
have wanted to hail it with iron hail
