police have cost the village more than in
the preceding year by about 5000, but in
these items it is money well spent; and
no one can Say today that we can get
along with less light or less police pro
lection. As matter of fact, the old
saying, light is the best police" is as
true here as elsewhere
Salaries of village officers remain the
same low footing as before, less than
500 paying this bill.
The street department report shows
nearly $4,000 less expended this year as
against the cost of this department for
the previous year, and a balance on hand
is reported of nearly S400, more than
twice the balance of 1907, though the
dry weather made the seasons sprinkling
a costly item.
The village officers have received the
suggestions of the officers of the Village
Improvement society and the results are
already beginning to show. The I'M
slightly hay scales near the Masonic hall
have been bought of the former owners
and sold without any loss. Walks have
been added on various streets which had
been needed for years. Other changes
have been made and there is promise
that more will be made that will result
in permanent good as time goes by.
The fire department cost more than in
1907. Part of the increase in this de-
partment was due to the assistance given
the department, 5000 being voted by the
village towards defraying the expense of
the Vermont State Firemen's tourna-
ment. Insurance of over 500 also be-
came due last year. The two items
mentioned deducted from the ordinary
expense of maintenance brings the cost
of this department to nearly the same
as the year before, though the number
1907.
In the water department, the commits
sioners have laid thousand feet of new
four-inch main and put in two new
hydrants, at cost of 5000. Five hun.
dred feet have been laid on South street
and the same amount on Court street
A gain of S2197. 90 is shown for the year.
as against the gain for 1907 of S14S4.1S.
One special source of pride to the viii
lage is the purchase and erection, through
the efforts of the Century club, of the fine
fountain in the triangle on Main street.
Through the generosity Of a private citi-
zen the ground was fully prepared for
the fountain, though the ladies have de-
frayed most of the cost of the fountain.
A smaller drinking fountain will be set
up on the same plot of ground this year
This has already been bought.
The trustees have greatly improved
the town hall 10y the purchase of new
scenery and curtin, and the sanitary
conditions in the hall are much better
than formerly. Fire escapes have been
added to the school building as well.
While some points of criticism may be
found by some, the officers Of Middle
bury village as IA whole may be thanked
heartily for their labors, and the hope ex-
pressed that the incoming board will do

ITS GREATEST YEAR.
Secretary of Religious Educational
Association Submits Report.

Chicago, Feb. 10-Henry F. Cope,
general secretary of the Religious
Educational association. presented
his annual report at today's session of
the convention. In the report he
says:
'sThe year 1908, doubtless to be re-
membered in the history of finance as
the year of the great depression, has
been in the history of the Religious
Education association the year of its
largest progress and widest ex-
pansion. The association has pub
1ished more material, reached more
people through our literature and
meetings. received more money and
witnessed more general evidence of its
increasing influence than in any pre-
ceding year"
The principal activities of the aSSo-
citation during the year 1908. are re-
viewed. The Indebtedness which for
so many years threaten its usefulness
is practically all paid off, he declares.
More important than all statistics,
Mr. Cope says "iS the fact not to be
expressed in figures. that pastors and
leaders of all denominations, untver-
sity and college presidents and pro-
fessors, leaders in public education,
editors. artists. Sunday school teach
ers, including mems Christian associa-
tiOn secretaries and workers, in
structors in theological seminarieS,
parents. school teachers and earnest
young men and women, have been
brought together and have unftedly
studied and endeavored in some meas
ure to solve the problems of religious
and moral training.

SLIGHTLY Different.
What Court Really Held in the Wall
Case.

Washington, Feb. 1O-With a view to
correcting what is believed to be very
general misunderstood ding of the scope
and effect of the recent decision of the
United States supreme court in the case
of the Continental Wall Paper COM
pany against the Lewis Voight & Sons
company, the statement is made that
the court did not hold. as seems gen
orally understood. that any one pur-
chasing goods from an unlawful trust
can keep the goods without paying the
purchase price.
What the court did hold was that
where the contract to purchase the
goods was a part of the illegal combina-
tion in restraint of trade and was it
self one of the agreements in restraint
of trade, and where the person or COM
pany which bought the goods was a
party by such purchase, of the illegal
combination, the court would not give
Ats aid to carry out the forbidden con-
tract. If therefore the buyer defended
the suit on the ground that the contract
of purchase was a part of the agree
ment in restraint of trade, and the SELL
er admitted the fact there could be no
recovery on that account.
