An automobile passed through this
village and Glover last Wednesday driven
at very high speed, those who saw it
estimating it as high as twenty to twenty
five miles per hour. Word was telephoned
ahead to arrest the driver as he had refused
to stop when signaled. The machine
apparently distanced the 'phone for the
fellows escaped. However if they come
this way again and fail to comply with
the law they are liable to get into troub bic.
We understand that the mac nine was in
charge of J. st. Jack of Lyndonville and
e. j. Blodgett of St. Johnsbury. The
law does not allow a speed of over six
miles per hour through the villages and
fifteen miles per hour outside. When
signaled to stop the driver must stop his
machine and assist teams to pass by if
necessary

and the time passed in a most pleasant
and social manner. 1t was voted to hold
no meetings through the months of July
and August.
The adjourned town meeting was held a.
the opera hall last Saturday morning. The
committee reported that it would cost S5727
to build the bridge and do the grading.
This estimate was furnished by an engi-
neer of the B. & NJ. railroad. Mr.. G. 81.
Davis stated that he was one of the main
promoters Of the plan but il the bridge
could not be built for less money than the
estimate that he was certainly opposed to
to it. He believed, however, that this esti-
mate was far above the necessary amount.
Mr.. F. w. Baldwin, who was a mem Der OF
| luo investigating COunLlSS, Slal6u tudl
the estimate was furnished by the engineer
without taking proper measurements as he
was on the ground but few minutes, and
that as the railroad company was greatly
opposed to the proposition it might be vel
to have an estimate made by some other
competent engineer. He proposed to in
struct the selectm en- to make further inves-
legations to see if the bridge could not b'
built for less money. This was voted down
a motion was made to instruct the select
men to build street above the tracE
extending from Prospect street. This wai
ruled out by the chairman and the matter
was dropped. II the bridge is to cost tht
amount given by the B. & NJ. engineer
then it is entirely out of question bu
: if it can be built for much less money, a.
many believe, there would probably be NJ
objection to extending the road just as Mr.
Gaskill desires it. II Mr.. GaskiIl wouIc
