The village trustees of Randolph
held a meeting Monday evening, but
as yet, thew have been unable to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Chief Of Police N. O. Buck. No
body seems very anxious TO take this
office as there is no salary attached
and in cases of arrests for drunken
ness, the village police get nothing
out of it as it is a town matter in
stead of village business. The village
lawyers have refused to make out
, warrants for drunkenness because they
say the town gets all there is in it and
what is there in it for us? The Justice
OF the peace, James Hutchinson, has re-
signed and anyone making complaint
will have to go to the Center village,
three miles distant, to fluid another JUS
tice of the peace. Randolph has no
license. the best prohibition she ever
had, but very little drunkenness and
just at present no way to handle what
little she has.
The Lasher Machine company of
Bennington is shipping It's machinery,
eto., TO Troy. where for the present
its business will be conducted in the
buildings of the Tolhurst Machine
company. The plant has been located
in Bennington number of years and
had a pay roll of about 81. 200 a
month 1t makes knitting machines
entirely. But few of the hands en-
ployed here will go with it to Troy.
The company has had fine offer to
locate its plant in Reading. Pa, but
it is doubtful about its accepting it.
/ While no permanent location has yet
been decided on it is quite likely that
it will select Troy. By the cnange
the company expects TO largely in
crease its business. 1t will be con-
siderable of loss for Bennington.
