ut license rally in Burlington last
evening, declared that the reason Barre
went no was because many were dis,

dissatisfied with the law, but because
they were dissatisfied win some of the
officers or else had an axe to grind.
He spoke OF the great benefit Montpelier
had gained because OF Tie fact that
Barre voted no, not so much from the
money spent for liquor but because OF
the fact that the men who had to 20
to Montpelier to get drink also bought
other supplies there. lie said he be-
lieyed Barre would vote yes next Tues.
day
Mr.. Wishart said liquor would be sold
in Burlington anyway, and recognizing
this fact he thought il was best to
make il as honest as possible and license
the traffic
He spoke Of the conditions existing
under the present law and then asked
how much better conditions were under
the old law He said the place TO con.
trol the liquor traffic was in the home,
beginning with the boys, trimming then
until they reach manhood and then thew
would take c1re Of themselves. In clos.
ing, he made an urgent appeal to the

WOMAN
FOUGHT FIRE
Mrs. H. 5. Cotton Of Mont
peIier Did Not Scream
WENT TO WORK AT ONCE
Unaided She Put Out Fire Which
Was Probably Started by Mix
ture Of Mice and
Matches.

Montpelier, March 3.--When two boys
rushed into the house Of Harry s. Cotton
early last evening and told the occupants
their house was on fire it was the first
'intimation the occupants Ind of the
trouble. The boys were passing when
they saw brisk FIRE in progress on the
second floor Of the house. One of the
boys notified Mrs Cotton, while another
ran for fire extinguisher.
Instead OF screaming Mrs. Cotton with
great bravery rushed up stairs and
found All the furnishings Of one room
in flames. She set to work with rugs
and before the boy arrived with fire
extingusher had the fire all out. The
fire caught in the lace curtains, and
there was no light or fire in the room
the cause is mystery The only ex.
plantation is that Of mice and matches.
The articles in the room which we're
not burned were badly smoked. No
alarm was sent in. MIR. Cotton arrived
home after his wife had the fire out.

BAssETT HITS TWICE.
Hasn't Digested Mackenzie's Letter;
Nichols Committee Is Wrong.

Editor Of The Times Allow me ia
say that the Nichols committee is great.
Iy mistaken ia the law when it saws
that constable going ont Of 01ice takes
all uucollectcd tax bills with him. but
has no authority to enforce collections.
Even II this was so. he or his bondsman
would be responsible TO the city for
them unless abated SO the city would
lose nothing because Of il. Moreover,
if so 1t would be a stimulus to the con-
stable to collect all his taxes before his
term Of Office expired, whereas If II is
the other way, he could let the col.
lection Of taxes drag so he and his
friends could use that argument in favor
Of his reelection. A warrant for the
collection Of taxes is preeept. See.
tion 1919 of Vermont statutes provides
that a sheriff at the expiration of his
term Of Office may execute precepts in
his hands at the time. The court has
held that such provision extended by
implication to constables. Section an
Vermont statutes provides that collec.
tor may within six years from the re.
cciying Of tax bill collect a tax in
any place in the state and execute his
warrant wherever he finds the property
or person Of the delinquent. Section
500 also provides ii collector dies,
removes from the state or becomes 9TH
erwisc incapable OF completing the col.
lection, or has in his hands uncollected
taxes, any successor in such Office may
complete such proceedings or collect such
taxes.
Section Sc Of the charter provides that
such constables shall have the same pow.
er and authority in the collection OF such
taxes and shall proceed in the same
manner and shall be under the same du.
ties and liabilities and have the same
privileges in respect thereto MS the gen.
eral laws Of the state now or may here
after prescribe in regard 10 the colIec.
tion of taxes by constables or collectors
of taxes in towns.

forenoon when he knew that there was
not sufficient water in the reservoir Ia
cover the strainer on the suction hose
and stated that it was clearly his duty
to have notified the chief of the fact and
shut down his engine. Had this been
done at the start, the committee states,
means would have been taken to have
supplied the reservoir with sufficient
water.
The committee does not find that any
of the hydrants were frozen but that
some of them opened very hard.
From evidence submitted" the com.
mittee states, 1T is evident that the
fire department requires a thorough re-
organization and we are OF the opinion
that the chief is not in proper physi-
cal condition to undertake this import

opinion that the chief did not direct the
efforts OF his department at this fire
to the best advantage, and that the fault
was probably due 10 his poor health.

pressure was not as high as usual on
