PER DIEM CHARGES BY VERMONT
OFFICIALS.

OrfItlALS.
Former Railroad Commissioner George
r. Howard, while not completely trium.
plant in has contention with the state
Of Vermont, emerges enough ahead %
that he probably feels great deal Of
satisfaction. In its opinion handed down
yesterday the Vermont supreme court
has settled It pretty efFectually that
"junketing7 by state officials, outside
Of the conduct Of the affairs Of their
Office, il not permissible, but that
state official Is justified in charging the
state Of Vermont a per diem and ex-
penses for time spent in going to or
from his residence to the place of his
work under reasonable conditions Of
transportation, as well as for the time
that he actually spends on his official
work. That IS, when an official Is forced
by circumstances of location to remain
away from home over Sunday he is to
DO allowed the regular charges against
the state treasury. Likewise, when re-
siding off the railroad lines he is not re-
quired to drive during the night time to
the nearest railroad station in order to
start from home on the same day that
his official work begins; but he Is TO
be allowed to start from his home the
day previously and drive on that day
to the nearest railroad station, to take
the train the next morning, while az the
same time charging for the day that
he actually starts from home.
There are few instances in which this
particular question viii ever arise again,
because there are few towns 50 situated
as Craftsbury. the residing place Of For
mer Railroad Commissioner Howard;
but somewhat similar cases might, and
90, happen where state officials residing
In the extreme southern part Of the
state have to come to Montpelier to
transact their business In order to Be
in Montpelier on q stated date they
are required to leave their homes on the
day previously and they should be rec
ompenssd for the day that they start
from home The same principle applies
t. Mr.. Towards case in che matter Of
leaving craftsbury.

pulled by three span of horses while two
spans were hitched UP in the rear The
stone team was followed BY another two
horse team with tackles, blocking and
other apparatus for setting the stone
The piece Of work came from the
Boutwell, Milne & yarnum dark quarry
and required over two years to get out.
II is seven feet four inches by six feet
ak inches by four feet six inches and
aside from the name +, w. Bailey On one
face. there IS not a tool mark on the
stone, which stands as it came from the
earth While not a large stone, COM
pared with many taken ont on Barre
hill. vet The fact that tool marks were
tabooed made the hardest stone to quar-
~ that the men have had in years.
The name. which is cut IN rough rock
face letters, was cut at the Mari g.
Gordon shed and the same firm set IL
up.
The teaming was done by Herbert
Leonard Of Barre.
The stone is about two inches smaller
st the top than at the bottom aud as
II had to be split out Of solid rock at
one operation to those exact dimensions

Mr.. Boutwell, stated that several thous-
and dollars worth Of stone have been
quarried in trying to get this one piece.
