THE NEW STATION PROJECT.

No citizen of Brattleboro will be doing
his full duty unless he attends the special
town meeting tomorrow afternoon and
registers his opinion on the new station
project which comes up for consideration
at that time. The matter is one OF ex-
IRENE importance and representative
vote upon il is imperative While The
Reformer does not for one moment be-
lieye that there is serious opposition to
the plan which has already been fully
outlined in this paper, it may be well
to give it further consideration at this
time. Stated briefly, the town is asked
TO contribute a sum not exceeding $l5,O0O
(probably not more than $4,000 will be
necessary to bring about a public i'm
provement whose total cost will approx
mate 100000; namely, the adjustment
of the heavy Vernon street grade and
the dangerous grade crossing on Bridge
street and the erection of modern pas
senger station on the west side OF the
railroad tracks a short distance north OF
the present depot. Practically three
fourths of the cost of these improvements
will be borne by the Central Vermont
Railway company and the state; and
binding agreements to this effect are now
in the possession of the local committee.
In view of these facts it is difficult TO
understand how any one not prejudlced
by personal considerations antagonistic to
the public welfare can look at the matter
in anything but favorable light. 10
secure the Vernon street grade reduction
alone the town would have to expend
sum as great if not greater than it is
asked to appropriate to bring about i'm
movements Of which this particular
benefit is merely a part. There is abso'
lutely no reason in the argument, heard
in some quarters, to the effect that
Brattleboro is being asked to contribute
$4,000 for $4,000 station. A glance at
the situation as we have outlined 1T shows
this. Neither should any confidence be
placed in the procrastinating argument OF
those who say the town would better
wait and see what kind of proposition
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad will make when it gets ready to
enter this town over its proposed new
line from Hinsdale.
No one will attempt to deny that Brat
tleboro is in dire need Of new passenger
station; nor can any open-minded person
conscientiously oppose plan which will
hr;nn ahout this and other equally i'm
portant improvements at cost to each
poll-taxpayer of not more than a postage
stamp a year. The Reformer confidently
expects to see this tremendously impor-
tant project overwhelmingly endorsed at
the special meeting tomorrow afternoon.

Mead's Flawless Record.
(Montpelier Journal.)

(MOutpcllcE OouIAulsJ
The Brattleboro Reformer is to be con-
graduated upon performing simultaneous
" a genuine public service and praise
worthy stroke of newspaper enterprise,
in securing an agreement on the part of
three candidates for the governorship,
Messrs. Fleetwood, Batchelder and Hap
good, to make public their campaign ex-
penditures before the opening Of the
republican state convention, provided all
candidates agree to do SO. Why does DR..
John A. Mead remain silent? His CLAW
less record" his piety, and humility have
been conspicuously advertised in the state
papers. And yet, it may be that Doctor
Mead would not like to stand up before
his fellow citizens and tell them how he
gained his votes in Franklin, Chittenden
to gain that support. If he is indeed .the
peoples choice" he ought to have nothing
to hide But his silence condemns him.
Those who are at all familiar with the
facts know that he dare not tell the
shameful story of the campaign methods
employed in his behalf. It ought not to
be necessary to keep a "Aawless record"
in the dark.

OF course all cars should be equipped
with Identification of some kind, and il
is well for a purchaser to carry the num-
