Bravo! Ilacide." he exclaimed, clap
ping his hands, his rugged face aslow
with martial joy. His countenance
changed, however, when his eye fell
upon the cringing figure of Matamora,
the commandant OF perfidious memory.

A Chance in the Village Charter.

bill has been introduced in the
legislature this week calling for an
important addition to the charter OF
the village of Brattleboro. 1t relates
Ia tho matter of sewer assessments,
over which the bailiffs have had no
little trouble in the past and pro-
yides that every person who owns
real estate abutting upon any street
in said village of Brattleboro, IN
which any common sewer or mann
drain shall be hereafter laid and con-
structed, and every person who owns
real estate abutting upon any street
in said village in which common
sewer or main drain has been lad
heretofore, and who has not been
legally assessed for his just snare
toward the expense of laying ana
constructing of such sewer or dram.
shall be liable to contribute MS just
share toward the expense of laying
and constructing such sewer or drain,
and shall be assessed therefor by the
bailiffs of said village the Diff aiso
provides that any person so assessed
NAV connect the drains and sewer
pipes from his real estate with the
common sewer in such manner ana at
such points as the baillts may oesis
nate. a.,
At present there is nothing in the
village charter to compel all persons
to nav a sewer assessment, section 10,
which will be repealed by the new act,
providing only for the assessment OF
those whose drains are connected
with the main sewer. In recent years
the bailiffs have had considerable
trouble in trying to compel property
holders to pay their share of the con-
struction of sewers passing through
the streets on which their property
abuts. With the passage of the new
provision the bailiffs will have suffi-
cient power to settle these matters
without litigation.
