Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1910-04-27

A. F. Phillips is just home from a
trip to Brandon, Middlebury and other
places in search of a suitable place to
stable his horses where he may have
ample room and other conveniences for
his splendid string of Morgans. 1t
would seem pity to have him leave
Barton, if arrangements can be made
with "r. Lang for stable room so as to
be satisfactory to both parties. 1t is
sincerely hoped he will remain.
Complaints are coming to the trus-
tees of the village that automobiles
are being speeded at the rate of from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour through
the village. While the authorities do
not care to make any trouble for the
owners and drivers they feel that the
law must be respected. The trustees
have posted notices on every road that
enters the village, warning automobil-
lists not to drive faster than ten miles
an hour. A word to the wise should be
sufficient.
