"H. w. MCINTYRE, ESQ, Chairman
Board Trustees, Randolph, Vt.
ssDEAR SIR:-Having fully considered
the proposition for sewering the village OF
Randolph as indicated by the plans pre-
sented TO this board at its recent visit, we
would say that the ''plansn are apparently
carefully drawn and meet with our en-
dorsement so far as they pass through

approval. -u. -,

running the sewage of towns and. villages,
along their banks, into them, as you pro-
pose 10 do with that, of the larger part OF
The sewage of your village. However, II
appears that in this particular case, this
board has been deprived of any power 10
act. No. 95 Of the Legislature of 1890 en-
titled, An Act in Addition to the Charter
of the Village of West Randolph provides
in Section that any sewer or drain built
under authority OF this act may discharge
into the west branch Of White river az any
point below Princes dam in the said VII
iage designated by the trustees, provided
the discharge from such sewer or drain
shall enter the running stream below low
water mark While this act gives you
special power to empty your sewage into
the west branch Of the White river, It re-
quires that the point Of discharge shall be
below low water mark.
"You will therefore be particular to
comply with this requirement, in entering
the river with this proposed sewer. The
sewer which now empties into the bed OF
the stream at ITS margin must be EXTENDED
to the same low water mark. These
sewers must be flushed sufficiently often
to keep them clean, and at the same time
r-event the river becoming a nuisance by
reason OF the sewage emptying into the
river during the period Of low water IN
the summer.

The trustees will consider this report
and other business relating to the question
Of sewerage at the regular meeting OF the
board next Monday evening.

There win be 30 stories above the street
level and two below the street, This VIII
be the tallest building in the world. Il Is
very small in plan, 100x75X75x40 feet, and
win be simply a tower IN design. IL IS a
fierce thing TO design on account Of the
architectural features and the great height
compared with the plan dimensions.
There is a total wind pressure Of 80 pounds
per square foot on the 100-foot side, max
ing 662 tons, so you can imagine what /
am up against in the way OF bracing. The
building will rest on bed rock and | am

SAYS the preface, sswas the summer home of
Benjamin Chew, back OF the famous Ger
mantown road, and as the British re-
treated past it, six companies threw them
selves into il, barred the doors and win
dows, and defed the Americans. The
converting of this stone house intoan inn
pregnable fortress contributed much to
the loss Of the battle of Germantown. The
old house is now of much interest to tour
lists. Broken statuary still adorns the
grounds. In the big hall are many traces
OF the destructive work of cannon and
bullets, and the front doors, riddled with
musket balls, are still shown TO visitors"

merits of pure article.

detrimental TO health. In England and
in some sections of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale Of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. S. W. Johnson, for instance.
Professor Of Chemistry at Yale College.
says: "Bread made with a baking
powder containing alum must yie.d a
soluble alumina salt with the gastric
Juice, and must, therefore, act as a
poison"
1t is we'll known that these so-called
"cheap" goods are made from alum OF
the very cheapest materials. One Of
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be- one-quarter
sharp pointed grains Of ground flint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts Of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable well-kIown cream of tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.
