Many Ordinances Considered.

An ordinance governing the expec-
toration on the sidewalks. the floors
of public buildings and eonveyances,
was read the first time for passage
and passed, and then laid on the
table. Councilman McClear opposed
1t because he did not believe It could
be enforced, Another ordinance, pro-
viding that drays must not stand on
Sherman sareet except when load
ing and unloading. also express
wagons and automobiles for hire, but
must occupy side streets, was passed
for the first time and then laid on the
table for two weeks. There was OPP
position to II among the councIlmen
and also in the person OF the mayor,
who suggested that It would proba-
bly, be wise to consider 1t before pass
ing. Those in favor of Ii suggested
that the drays were interfering with
the streets; that when person de-
sired to drive up to a business instl-
tuition he found his way blocked By
a dray, and also that 1t was making a
manure pile OF Sherman street. Ii
was suggested by the opponents OF
the measure that the latter incon-
yenience could be obviated by pass
ing an ordinance regulating the time
which horses were permitted to stand
on the street during the day. The
on ordinances was in
'tructed to draw an ordinance govern
ing awning in the city-regulating
their height and the manner in which
they are put up.
The council then adjourned.

he was directed to pursue his old poll

Windham County Court.


County court opened at Newfane
Tuesday at 2 O'Clock p. m. with
Judge Butler of Rutland presiding.
After prayer was offered and pre-
liminary to the formal opening of
court Judge Butler, who was for
merly of Jamaica i'll this county,
spoke briefly of his former associates
in this county; of his impressions
when he was admitted to the Wind
ham county bar; and of his feeling
as if he were back home now that
he is in this county. His remarks
were listened to with attention by
all present.
Sheriff Thompson then made
proclamation of the opening of
court, and the list of cases set for
jury trial was called. The jury

y had taken the oath, their
ddces were clearly pointed out to
them by the presiding judge.
The remainder of the afternoon
and all day yesterday were spent in
calling the docket and hearing mo-
tons. The docket was cleared of
several cases of long-standing. The
term bids fair to be of average
length.
