Methodist Episcopal Church, a reso.
luton concerning the preparation OF
new statement of doctrinal faith of
the Methodist church was introduced
by w. F. Tfllett and w. R. Lambuthr
Of the Tennessee conference. The
preamable sets forth the belief
that in their present form, the articles
of religion do not meet existing needs
of the church, as a statement of tae
doctrinal system of evangelical Meth
odist Arminianism; also the different
branches of Methodism, represented in
the Methodist conference, should unite
in the preparation of such a state
ment as is now required. II is urged
in the resolution THAT the college OF
bishops be requested to appoint a COM
miss on of five members, one of whom
is to be a bishop, to invite other
branches of Methodism in the pre-
pairing Of such statement of faith and

connection with the clause relative to
determinations, which was interpret

A Good business Proposition.

we suppose there is no doubt that the
agreement Of the water board with Mr.
Crowell for the purchase of his water
system will be ratified by the village
at the special meeting next Monday even
ing by strong majority. 1t is to be
hoped on all accounts that It may be done
with practical unanlmity, thus showing
deserved recognition Of the efforts and
concessions on both sides to secure a just
and permanent settlement of a question
which is Of vital importance to our well
fare as community. There are a few
figures which the voters ought to have in
mind as a basis Of estimate, and to guide
their judgment before the meeting is held,
and they may be briefly presented in this
comprehensive form;
The present water rentals from Mr..
Crowells system amount to $4,000
year, in round numbers. When the 16-
inch main is laid from che Sargent farm
through West Brattleboro and the avenue
the additional income now in sight will
carry the yearly rentals up to 500, 900. The
sum which the village is to pay Mr.. Crow
ell is $274,3OO, or in round numbers, $275,-
900. The maximum estimate for putting
ervoir in Pleasant Valley, thus completing
the system, is $4,000, making the total
original cost to the village of it's munic
ipal system SS5O,OOO. On this sum the in
terest charges at 4 per cent would be
$14, 900. leaving a margin of $4,000 year
between the income and the interest on
our water bonds. There is no doubt that.
with wise and enterprising management,
and under the continued growth of the
village. the income can be made a good
deal more than $4,000 year, but at the
most conservative estimate there would
be $4,000 a year to put in a sinking fund
which would meet the bonds as they be-
come due and save the village from any
additional burden Of taxation.
1t is not only an amicable, but wise
and business-like way which has been de-
vised to settle our water supply contro-
versy. and it ought to be strongly en-
dorsed.

The Boston Herald is leading agitation
in favor OF a biennial term for governors
in the Bay state. 1t finds that Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island are the only states
in the Union that elect a governor every
year. OF the 81 states and territories %
have adopted four years term, 20 two
years. two three years and two stick
to one year. A large majority of the
prominent men interviewed by the Herald
are in favor of a two years term, includ-
ing ex-Gov. Bates, ex-Mayor Quincy. ex-
Congressman Powers and others. YER
mont changed from annual to biennial
election of state officers in 1870, and has
never regretted the change. Yearly
elections mean a chronic state of poll
tics, with all of the attendant troubles
of unrest and uncertainty. About the
only argument for a term Of but II
months is that IL you get mighty poor
man. you have an opportunity to get rid
of him in short time.
