State Rifle Range,

At the officers school recently held at
Brattleboro, Gov. Fletcher D. Proctor
announced that he had approved of the
selection of a site for state range. The
range will be located about mile north
OF Westminster and the work cf putting
it in readiness will begin as soon as the
weather will permit. The ground select
ed is an ideal one and when completed
will be amply large enough for the
regiment. During the first year there
will be but two targets on the range.
This number will be increased, however,
each successive year until FULL equip
ment has been provided. That the
ground! can an not be fully equipped at the
outset is due largely to the appropriation
within the limits of which the officers
wish to keep themselves.
According to the Dix bill, passed re-
Gently by Congress- the state of Vermont
is entitled to $4,000 additional for its
militia and about $1,000 will be ex-
pended in fire practice. Major H. E.
Dyer comments tavorably upon the site
thus selected and believes the new range
will be OF inestimable value to company

At the meeting Of the officers school
Governor Proctor also announced that
the officers of the company would be
held in strict compliance to their duties
as officers OF the several companies and
in the event they did not hold their com
panies up to the standard provided bv
the rule and regulations of the army
that company so violating rules could be
mustered out Last year one or two
companies fell below the standard but
were not mustered out because of several
reasons.
1t is quite probable that the new
range will be opened in midsummer bv
a competitive shoot at which all COM
panies OF the state will be asked to
participate
