II the stomach is only given rest by

MELRosE TO BE A HOSPITAL.
Hotel In West 7rattleboro viii Be Sold
and the Lynch Hospital VIII Be Moved
There from Grove Street.


The Melrose hotel in West Brattleboro
VIII be sold to Mrs. William Legs and
John Legs of Guiford and the Lynch
hospital will be moved there The final
details of the transfer were discussed this
morning and the actual transfer will be
made soon. The sale was arranged
through the agency of William c. Hor-
ton, The present owner OF the hotel is
Mrs. Flora +. Strong of Newfane who ran
the hotel last summer and planned to
open 1t again this season. 1t has been
closed through the winter as the scant
patronage it would receive at this time
would not pay the cost of heating It. The
plans of the new proprietors include some
remodelling to make the quarters fitted
for an p-to-date hospital. The building
has 81 rooms and by tearing out a par
ton large ward can be made.
An operating room will be built and an
elevator service installed Mrs. Legs
bought the Lynch hospital in town about
two months ago and they found II wholly
inadequate to accommodate the large
number of patients The remodelled
building will provide for the present
needs and for a substantial growth.

A 50 Per Cent. School Tax is Not an Ad.
vance.

The day is past when six dollars
week will pay for the services of such
teachers as Isaphine Stockwell, Irene
Perry Grace Bailey, Edith Starr Hunt,
Mrs Frances b. Horton. Alton Blodgett,
and other teachers of the same class, all
of whom, we think, once taught our
schools at that wage.
The corporate district has at the pres
ent time five of our teachers. whom we
could i'll afford to spare. but could not
hold even at our present scale. The
work required by law of our public
schools cannot possibly be done in a year
of 81 weeks, the former maximum length
We can hardly do it in SO weeks. 1t
really calls for 42-week year.
We w-re obliged to pay for transporta-
ton last year, SSO0.65 Ia small amount
of this belonged to the year previous
1t will require close calculation to keep
this item within $1,000, this year, and meet
the requirements of the new laws, re-
garding legal schools. None of these con-
dtions, nor all of them combined, con-
sttute the reason for the call for so
per cent tax, though they would justify
the exercise of our right to- call for
IS per cent tax The reason, however,
is not that we may have more money to
spend, but to meet the deficiency in our
receipts, for which we are not in any way
responsible.
We showed in our report that this de-
fciency amounted to $92O95. The action
OF the town meeting on article II took
away from us $633.4S more, making a
whole deficiency for next year, on the
present basis, $l55443 To meet this de-
fcency, on the same basis, requires an
additional tax of 14O5 per cent, making,
with the IS per cent. of former years, an
absolute necessity of 1906 per cent, and
this provides nothing for the total loss
of $780, IS, which we have sustained this
year.
