She received her guests, sitting under a
canopy of antique decorations, and many
relics of the Revolutionary period, were
displayed about the room. Her father
Wheeler Martin was engaged by Gen.
Tyler as a waiter and carried many impor-
tant messages in cipher, from one regi-
ment to another. He also wrote the fam
lily record in cipher in the old bible, taught
Aunt Sabrina to read and write ii which
she has never forgotten. An excellent
dinner was served, after which Mrs c. y.

manner gave an address of welcome Mrs.

Permanent Highways Demanded.

When the Legislature in 1898 passed the
act to improve the public highways and
establish the Vermont highway commits
sion, it wisely embodied therein a provi-
sion to the effect that the State tax for
the benefit of the highways shall here
after be used to permanently rebuild or
repair portions of the main thorough
fares In each town. and in no case shall
a town be entitled to its share of the tax
raised for highway improvement until 1t
has complied with the provisions of this
act" The state highway commissioner
is also required by the act in question
to see that the money allotted to each town
is properly expended before issuing the
state treasurer certificate for the fun
amount of said towns apportionment,
This provision has been found to be nee
essary owing to the fact that in not "A
few towns the amount received from the
State road tax was simply covered into
the town treasury and no further atten-
tion was paid TO the roads than would
be the case If no such money had been
received. In other words such towns
used the proceeds of the State highway
tax to relieve themselves to that extent
Of local taxation, and the roads were no
better than before as a result Of the Stat,
highway tax so far as that town might
he concerned.
One OF the objects OF the establishing o.
a state road department and the impos
ton of "A State tax was to inaugural
a new era I'm road building i'm Vermont
1t was recognized that n large proper
ton OF the money expended on our high
ways was literally thrown away owing

to the use of improper methods. The
hauling of light soil into the roadway
comes under this head, for the first
heavy rain transforms 1t into deep mud
while a prolonged period of dry weather
turns it into dust. This use of towns
portion of the proceeds of the State high
way tax is little, If any, better than an
utter failure to apply the money to road
purposes. In either event the object of
the highway legislation in question is en-
tirely frustrated.
When a town has once constructed n
piece Of highway of crushed stone or of
pounded stone or of gravel and residents
have noted the economy of such road
way not to mention the satisfaction Of
using such improved highway, the inhabi-
tants thereof arc not likely to go on vast
ing money in the bad old way. Those
who framed this measure believed the
piece or pieces of roadway of permanent
Character constructed through the State
aid would serve as an object lesson, and
thus gradually lead to the adoption of
more economical as we'll as more modern
methods of repairing highways.
This being the case the State commits
sloner of highways is deserving of sup
port and cooperation on the part of our
lawmakers in his efforts to compel towns
desiring to receive their part of the State
highway fund to comply with the law in
a manner that will entitle them to enjoy
the same 1t will not be a kindness to
any town to encourage 1t In the belief
that it can draw money from the State
treasury for the construction of perma-
nent roadway without making roadway
of permanent character In the end the
inhabitants Of such towns will thank the
highway commissioner and the members
of the Legislature for insisting that mon
oy be paid out from the highway fund
only for permanent work.

The question of the protection of deer
in Vermont seems to have been definitely
settled for the present by the refusal of
the Senate to extend the open season.
With a continuance of present conditions,
however. it is plain that the subject will
be bone of contention in each session
of the Legislature. Some sections claim
to have too many of these feet-footed
animals, while others have not enough.
Perhaps when our deer become too nu-
merous to mention" we may hope to rival
the Adirondack region and attract moro
sportsmen to our borders. with all which
that would signify in the light of our
ncighbor's eXperienCe.

There arc two bills relating to tuber-
culosis before the Vermont General AS
eomhly which should become law. and
they doubtless will. One is an act to Gre
ate tuberculosis commission: the other
requires physicians to record and report
promptly to the state board of health all
cases of tuberculosis. The first bill pro-
vides that the governor shall appoint in
December, 1902, Il State commission of five
members. at least three of whom shall be
legally qualified hyscans, for the pur-
pose of Investigating the prevalence and
extent o. tuberC uloss in Vermont the
need of State santarium for consump-
tives, and such other matters pertaining
70 tuberculosis as may properly engage
their attention in connection herewith
This commission SHALL meet at least once
every three months, and each member
shall receive nominal fee OF three dollars
Cor each DAYS attendance at such meet
ings. and an allowance for such expenses
as are actually incurred in the discharge
of their duties the same to be paid on the
governors order on proper presentation
of statements. This commission shall
serve until the next Legislature and shall
make complete report thereto of the re
suits of their Investigations, together with
such recommendations in regard 70 n
state sanitarium for consumptives, ITS
location, cost etc, us they may deem ad-
visable

is that it requires every physician engaged
