Department of Forest, Fish X Game
Of New York, whereby the Legislature
of that state has appointed com
mittee of two members from the Sen
ate and two from the Assembly, also
Major J. ". Pond, Chief Protector, to
work witha similar organization from

the waters of Lake Champlain.
Henry G. Thomas, Chairman of the
board of Commissioners for Ver-
mont, has been in correspondence
with the New York committee, and is
informed through Major Pond that as
soon as the Vermont Legislature gels
to work, delegates from the New York
committee will be in Montpelier and
urge the Importance of Vermonttaking
the same action that New York has,
and that the two organizations will
then communicate with the Parliments
of Canada, both Upper and Lower
Provinces.
The Committee must necessarily
work with the Upper Province in the
matters pertaining to st Lawrence

main interest OF Vermont will be with
the Lower Province in relation to Mis-
sisquoi Bay. IL is hoped that salts
factory and stable results will be

spectators were confident of the Milford
team winning out but were a trihe
surprised at the way the Milford boys
hit the ball and were delighted at the
excellent support given Sherwood by
the in and out field. Carrissr johnson
and Townsend played the game
throughout and gave evidence of their
strength as players as did each man
on the team, Ridgely did well consider
ing that they were a little out Of their
class in this game. Just what the
score would have been had the time
allowed them to continue until the
ninth instead of stopping in the seventh
is hard to tell. The score on Tuesday

SchooI Tax Rae fOr MlIIOrd liked.

At a meeting OF the Board of Educa-
tion for Milford, which was held last
Friday EVENING" was decided to make
the poll tax in the incorporated dis
tricts for the year of l9O4-5, exactly 81,
an increase over last year of 30 cents.
The rate on property was fixed at 3
per cent, an increase of one per cent.
This will enable the Board TO meet its
obligations. For two years past they
have not been raising sufficient money
to pay the operating expenses, and a
debt OF $1,000 has accumulated; but it
is expected that the present rate Will
enable the Board to pay eff all of the
floating debt and pay the running eX-
penses at the same time. The Increase
is uo more than was to be expected, IN
view of having built the new school
house, which was absolutely necessary
and the people will be satisfied that
the rate is no more.
