ELECTRIC ROAD COMING.
The stevens Mill Property and Water
Privileges at vergennes Sold.

The stevens Mill Property and Water
Privileges at vergennes Sold.
j. j. Flynn of Burlington, the pro-
moter of the electric roads and one of
the men deeply interested In an electric
road from Burlington to Vergennes,
touching the summer resorts along the
lake, and thence along the lake shore to
Whitehall, has bought through w. j.
Strong, real estate and insurance agent,
the water power and real estate and in
dustrial privileges of the Stevens estate
on the west side of Otter creek at Yer
gennes. This sale takes in the site of the
Haviand shade roller shops, the site of
the National Horse Nail company's
plant, the buildings of which were burned
some time ago. the stone crushing plant
and the Cotey saw mill and all the water
privileges that go with these several sites
and plants, giving somewhere near one
quarter of mile of water frontage, and
furnishing water power second to none
in New England.
The main purpose for which this prop
erty was purchased is to provide power
for an electric railroad from Burlington
south along the lake shore, and that one
will be built in the near future is almost
a certainty.
From the large amount of real estate
that was purchased with the power, it is
hoped that new industries will be started
on the falls and add materially to the
financial growth of the town.
The consideration given for the prop
erty has not been made public, but
doubtless was about 100000, as the
number of horse power is large and it is
thought that it could be doubled with
some modern improvements that could
be put in.
These falls have something of a his
toric interest attached to them. 1t will
be remembered that it was on these falls
that Ethen Allen and his Green Noun
tain Boys dispOssessed party of Scotch
men, who had been put in possession of
the falls by Colonel Reed, an officer in
the British army. in l76G, as told IN The
Green Mountain Boys, and illustrated on
the National Life Insurance Co.'S calen-
dar for 1903.
This property formed a part of that
once owned by David Remington, the
noted tory, hut on his being convicted of
torysm it was confscated to the State
and sold to Gideon Spencer for the sum
of $500 (Sl ,GGG). At one time block
house or fort was situated on the falls
and The council of safety, sitting at Ben
nington, March, l77S. ordered Captain
Ebenezer Allen to take charge and watch
the movements of the enemy. 1t may be
of interest to state that cheap transporta-
ton to tidewater is made possible from
this point by means of Otter creek, Lake
Champlain and the northern canal and
down the Hudson.
1t is hoped that this deal Just COM
pleted may be of much financial benefit
to Addison county, as it surely will be if
the electric road is built from Burlington
to Whitehall.
1t is also rumOred that the Rutland
road is interested In the deal and may use
part of the power for its repair shops.
The latter may be located at North Fer
rIsburgh. near which is a landlocked
harbor on the lake.

Why are the license men so concerned
about the Battell bill men? 1t is because
they known that these men hold the
balance of power and will vote against
the License Act? The Battell bill men
are not in favor of either the License Act
or the prohibitory law but will first de-
feat the former and then work for such a
system of state control as the great ma
iority of the people will approve.

Why the license law is not enforced by
the holders of licenses in Massachusetts
against the illegal sellers is well told by
the proprietor of first class hotel in an
inland town when asked why he did not
complain of the Illicit sellers. 1T would
simply iniure my business. The officers
will not enforce the law when these
Illicit sellers command so many voters
1t would be the same here.

Who pays the heaviest tax to support
the saloon? The poor man. Therefore
the revenue from the license fees that
are to build good roads will be a tax on
the poor men of the state who can walk
over those roads while the rich man can
ride. The rich men do not patronize the
saloon. They send away and buy an
assorted case of liquors, so they do not
help pay the tax.

Percy w. Clement will not make votes
for the License Act by grossly insulting
a man like eX-Chief Justice Jonathan
Ross of St. Johnsbury, as he did at
Montpelier, Monday night, when he
characterized him thus: "LOok at 1t.
think of 1t. an antique apostle of
prohibition who presides with equal
grace at champagne supper at night,
and at the trial OF the man who sold the
champagne, the next day
p. w. Clement has a perfect right to
disagree with Judge Ross. Honest men
do differ, but honest men and decent
men treat their opponents fairly. p.
w. Clement sees the handwriting on the
wall and knowing that his cause is
defeated loses his temper and attacks
those who honestly differ with him with
gross epethets. When he first spoke at
MONTPELIER he had an audience of l200 to
1900. Last Monday night not over 800.
That tells the story. That is the reason
he lost his temper. Judge Ross is uni
versally respected throughout the state
and the people will resent this insult.

The License Act is modelled after the
Massachusetts law, therefore we may
expect similar results if it is approved in
Vermont. In Massachusetts the Bureau
of the Statistics, acting under direction
of the legislature, collected statistics
showing the arrests for drunkenness in
cities. 1t found that there were 1921
arrests to every 1000 inhabitants under
license and only 9,94 under prohibition.
That means if Vermont adopts the license
system arrests from drunkenness will
increase nearly four fold. We want no
such system. Vote No!

WHAT THEN ?
What Shall Follow the Defeat of the
License Act Feb. 3?

week and formulated petition which
will be circulated in all parts of the
State as soon as the License Act is de-
feated Feb. 3.
The committee does this in keeping
with its promised to the people when it
was formed.
The petition is as follows:
PETITOS
The committee of fifteen, in accepting
leadership of the movement against the
open saloon for Vermont took their stand
upon the following statement of prin-
cples:
sin urging the defeat of the submitted
law we DO not commit ourselves to the
unqualified approval of every provision
of the prohibitory law, nor contemplate
the indefinite continuance of present con-
ditions.
If victorious we assert our willingness
to undertake the initiative in proposing
such legislation as experience and study
may demonstrate to be best adapted for
promoting the interest of true temper
ance in Vermont"
We recognize the unrest conspicuous
in the State concerning the present law !;
but we are cOnhdent tnat the suDstltu-
ton of the legalized saloon as remedy
for existing ills would be disastrous
mistake.
We therefore believe that the immedi-
ate operation of the new law should be
deferred by mo" majority on Feb. 3,
and we hereby unite with the committee
of fifteen, in case of such negative vote,
in requesting his eXcellency, Gov. j. G.
Mccullough, acting In an unofficial ca
pacity, to name twenty five or more citi-
zens of Vermont, representing different
sections, interests, political parties and
views on temperance legislation; and to
request them to act as committee of in
quiry with the following duties:
To receive and weigh carefully any
offered expressions of individual senti-
ment among our inhabitants. TO investi-
gate as fully as may seem eXpedient the
principles. methods and results Of re-
strctive liquor legislation outside of our
State.
To formulate any methods of dealing
with the traffic in intoxicants which may
seem to them wise, and to report at their
earliest convenience to his eXcellency,
Gov. Mccullough, and to the people of
the State through the press, any recon-
mendations for future legislative action.
