AN OUTSIDE VIEW IN RELATION TO
g. BtRLTNGTON'S EXPERIMENT. =.
IN MUNICIPALITY.

(From the St. Adams Mcssenger.)
Burlington is experimenting with muni-
cipal ownership, and her aldermen have
just appropriated 5000 for the extension
of the city's electric lighting system.
The progress of this experiment will be
watched with interest by Vermont's COM
munities. In this little State there are
no great cities where a multiplicity of
diversified and often conflicting interests
complicate such experiments. Our little
towns more nearly approach a common
level. 50 far as such matters so. at
least. their experiences are more nearly
identical. their governmental affairs are
within door-yard range Of scrutiny by
every taxpayer. n one can understand
conditions and causes for success or fail
IRE in these matters of municipal con-
cerr in a neighbor almost as well rs
that noighbor herself or another. So
Burlington's experimenting with munich
pal ownership is worth watching. She
is either going to demonstrate the wis
dom Of the scheme for Vermont towns.
or ITS utter impractfcability,-alway
provided. of course. the experiment is now
in the hands of the right men to make
il conclusive, one way or the other.
And IL the thoughtful mar will give
a second thought TO that proviso and
consider the difficulty Of keeping such
important matters that mean so much
to the ~taxnaycrs out Of the hands Of
tho politicians and always in the hands
Of the lovol-headed business adminis-
traitors, he will realize anew how
complicated this matter of ex-
rerimenting with municipal ownership is.
1t might safely he considered n self
evident truth that. given all proper con-
ditiOns. municipal ownership of public
utilities is better for n community than
private ownership of them. But. to re-
duce the proposition to practical terms.
il is proper to determine. first. what
arc the average chances of insuring
those proper conditions. How long. for
instance, can n city depend upon always
having the right kind ~ men chosen
To manage its electric light plant'
Is tho test OF the wisdom or folly
Of municipal ownership MS applied to
present conditions in burlington now
being made by the kind Of men that the
great majority of more responsible tax
payers would on occasion select to do
their private business for them?

Mr.. Alexander Scott Of 1,201 Kenton

that were made years ago to Illustrate
the history of the 10th regiment Of YER
mont volunteers. Several years ago Mr..
Scott. who was n member of the 10th
Vermont, conceived the idea Of illustrat-
ing the history OF the regiment with
some pictures, one of which was made
during the Civil War. This was a copy
of n photograph taken at Culpcpcr, Va.
in September, 1863. and showed a group
of men standing beside "a tent. In the
group were Capt. 8. Darrah, Lieut.. q.

living. The former resides In Burlington,

forts to find some member Of the 10th
Vermont and give him the picture.
There were two pictures on the proof.
Mr.. Hume placed the sheet in an en-
velope, which he addressed to the post
master at Montpelier and asked the
postmaster to find some member Of the
regiment and give him the picture. sign

Postma ster Bancroft OF Montpelier learn

OF the regiment and that he was United
States consul at Quebec and sent the
pictures to him. General Henry recog-
nized the pictures, but could not un-
dcrstand why they had been sent to him,
and sent them to Mr.. Scott. who received
them this morning. Mr.. Scott was much
amused at the incident by reason of the
fact that the pictures had originated
with him.. We're made in a Washington

BRIGHT BLUE Wealth.
ER

suns and skies and clouds OF June,
And flowers Of june together.
Yc cannot rival for one hour
Octobcr's bright blue weather.
When loud tho bumblcboc makes haste,
Related, thriftless vagrant;
And gold"nrod is dying fast,
And lanes with grape are fragrant:
When gcntians roll their fringes tight
To save them from the morning,
And chcslnuts fail from satin burrS
Without a sound OF warning;
When IN the ground red apples lie
In piles like Jewels shining.
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;
When all the lovely w1ySide things
Their white-winscd seeds are sowing.
And in the fields still green and fair.
Late aftcrmaths are growing;
When springs run low. and on the brooks.
In idle golden froigilting,
Bright leaves sink noiscless in the hush
OF woods for winter waiting:
When comrades seek sweet country
haunts
I,y twos and twOs together.
And count like misers, hour by hour,
Cctober's bright blue weather,
q suns and skies and flowers Of June,
count all your boasts together
Love lovoth best of all the year
October's bright blue weather.

VERMONT IN STONE INDUSTRY
G'rom the Middiebury Register.)

According To the United States geo
logical survey. in n pamphlet entitled
The Stone Industry in 1904" the State
of Vermont still leads the country in
the production of marble and has adj
vanccd from third to second place in
the production of granite. The increase
in the output of marble Is shown by the
following figures: In 1907. s.. 4s+.s52 in
1901. 81. 753, 5s3: in 1909. $50 164: 1903. S.
OIL, sos; in 1905. $1,000. 669. In the last
year Vermont lead the nearest States in
marble production by a wide margin. the
next nearest having only about half a
million.
In granite production Vermont steps
ahead Of Maine, which in 1903 held Sec
ond place. The granite output is still
considerably behind the older marble
industry, the total In 1901 having been
81, Az. 979. Massachusetts leads Vermont
in this branch Of the stone industry.
The Green Mountains also furnish a very
large amount of slate, although there
Is n slight falling of from the figures
of the preceding year. Still Vcrmont's
production OF slate Is moro than one
NTH the total of the entire country.
