COUNTY ROAD MAKERS
Met Yesterday TO Disc uss Road Building
with state Commissioners Sanford.

meeting of the Chittenden county road
commissioners was held Tuesday after
noon at the city hall, at which every town
in the county was represented. J. O. San
ford Of Stamford State highway commits
sioner, presided at the meeting and cX-
planned the law relating to highways and
spoke of the methods that can be used
to advantage on country roads.
Remarks were made by the road COM
missioners present which showed that the
permanent work thus far done in the
county had proven satisfactory. 1t was
reported that where this work had been
done the mud had been so deep that
spring while where no work had beer
done the mud had been so deep that
1t made trafflc difficult.
Among other things the State commits
sioner said that he thought it was not for
the best interests of the towns to elect
now road commissioners each year. He
also said that it was poor policy for a
town to elect two commissioners.
Mr. Stanford will go to-day to North
Hero, Thursday to ST. Adams, April IA
to Hyde Park, April II to St. Johnsbury
and April Is to Newport, and will hold
county meetings similar to the one held

THE PRICE Of ICE
Dealers Find 1t Necesssry to Make a
Slight Increase This Season,

The ice dealers in BURLINGTON are for
tunate in having ice enough on hand to
supply the trade throughout the coming
season. If it were not for the fact tina {
2,Vo tons or more were carried over from
last year the supply. it is believed. would
have been insufficient for the demand.
Throughout New England the ice crop
has been small one. On the Hudson river
only about one fourth Of the usual amount
of ice put up was stored this winter. The
crop actually harvested here was the
smallest one in many years and through
out the state there is a general shortage,
Bristol having practically no ice at all
Middlebury and st. Adams did not harvest
ice enough to carry them through the
season. and Montpelier ana Rutland would
run short of ice if the season should hap
pen to be d very long hot one.
Prices fixed by the dealers for Burling-
ton this year are as follows:
Less than 100 pounds. at delivery. 40c
per cwt.
100 pounds to 400 pounds. at delivery,
SOC per cwt.
400 pounds to 500 pounds, at a delivery
Csc per cwt.
800 pounds to 700 pounds, at a delivery,
zoe per cwt.
1000 pounds and over. at a delivery
lie per cwt.
The above prices are subject to the
usual 10 per cent, discount. This is a slight
increase over last seasons price list and
the dealers give the following reasons for
the advance:
within the last year or two. the rate hav.
ing doubled. Ice dealers in order to insure
their ice must now pay n rate of per
cent. Second, short crop, which means
a much greater risk in getting sufficient
ice for another season, as there will he
