A MUNICIPAL Mlx.up
incorporation Westminster Village
Said to be IIleuaI.


Brattleboro, Jan. 31.--The-selectmen
of Westminster, Brigham T. Phelps,
G. II. Spaulding and j. p. Ranney and
the town clerk and tax collector, Fred
/. Lane, were served with an order
from Superior Judge George NJ Pow
ers yesterday afternoon commanding
them to appear before the court of
chancery at Newfane and the next
April term of court, to show why they
should not be enjoined permanently
from collecting taxes under vote of
the village corporation and why the
records of the incorporation and pro.
ceedings incident thereto should not
be strickened of the town records.
This is an incident in merry fight
that has been going on in Westmn-
ster the past year, and as the oppos-
ing factions have gotten their blood
up the controversy will be fought to
finish. d. p. Wright is at the head
of one faction and Brigham r. Phelps,
| formerly state senator from Wind
ham county, leads the other faction.
| Last February petition was pre-
scented to the selectmen of Westmin.
ster asking them to establish the
bounds of the village with view to
incorporation. At the same time a
petition of protest was presented, and
the names of several appeared on
both petitions. Those who signed
both said they signed the first one
under a misapprehension, and they
asked to have their names erased
from the first petition. The select
mn dismissed the petition to lay out
the boundaries on the ground that
! it did not contain the names OF a
majority of the voters.
A little later the selectmen met in
Bellows Falls, and the orators charge
that there Mr.. Phelps announced t.
his associates that new petition hat
been presented to him for laying on
the bounds of the village. They
charge that he refused to produce il
on demand and has continued to sc
refuse, and they say they believe ne
such petition exists, as it has not beer
filed or recorded in the town clerks
Office, and nobody but Mr.. Phelps
knows anything about it.
On the strength of Mr.. Phelps
statement, however, the selectmeI
laid out the village boundaries and ,
record was signed by the full boart
and recorded in the town clerks OF
fee. Later fifty-one voters petition
ed for a hearing on the question o
the legality of the petition on which
the boundaries were made. Nj
: Phelps refused to hear them, but tn
other selectmen met them and salt
they never had seen the Phelps peti
ton and asserted that their name
were procured to the record through
misrepresentation and mistake.
