Village Meetin q .

AT the approaching village meeting
the question of rebuilding the crossings
and removing the steps upon the side
walks, which changes were made by our
trustees last year in repairing the streets,
will undoubtedly come up for considera-
ton.
The main job of macadamizing the
roads would appear to have been well
done. We do not think that our trustees
would have made any serious mistake
had they been left to their own judg
ment. We have no idea that they would
have interfered at all with the crossings
or even thought of restoring the steps, a
nuisance which we all supposed that we
IDENTIFY came from asking the advice of
the State highway commissioner BY
whose suggestion this was done we do
not know, but it was a fatal error. We
understand that this officer would not
permit state funds to be used on the
highways of the town unless the road
commissioner would build the roads &C
cording TO his directions. And we sup
pose that this gentleman considered
walks across the street menace to au-
tomobiles, interfering with their speed,
and therefore determined that our citi-
zens shouldn't have walks which might
so interfere. Why he insisted that we
should have steps upon the remaining
walks, we do not know. But we do
know that if he had no better ideas of
the proper way to build sidewalks, it is
full time that he graduated from his of
flee.
Whatever the village may do at the
coming meeting, the Register hopes that
the trustees chosen, whether old or new,
will restore the street crossings and get
rid of the new steps.

The Covernorship,

Indirectly we have understood that
the names of several candidates for the
next Governorship have been mentioned,
but none which seems to us so fitted for
the occasion as that of Ex-Lieutenant-
Governor Stanton of Montpelier. For
there is no man in the State who
more thoroughly represents the citizens
of Vermont, or would more fearlessly or
honestly look after their interests, or pro-
tect their rights.
Mr.. Stanton came very near being
nominated four years ago, and we
believe if his name is presented this year
at the convention, he will receive the
nomination.
