Alexander Ironsides then read a re-
solution drawn up in the form of a
request to the City Council for bet
ter wage scale for the city employees,
including the policemen, firemen and
general city laborers. Mr.. Ironsides
said the general average of pay for a
city employee is $13 40 week of sew
en- days which he claims to be lower
than that in any other city in Ver-
mont.
The resolution called for the in
crease in pay to go into effect before
the annual appropriation is apportion-
ed among the various departments in
December. Daniel Sullivan said the
clause relating to an increase in pay
for the policemen and firemen was
not very definite, but he heartily en-
dorsed the clause relating to the en-
ployes of the street and water depart
mentS.
He further said the police and fire
men in Montpelier are higher paid
men than can be found in our local
departments and that he thought ac-
ton should be taken on the matter
at once.
Alec Cruickshank spoke in favor of
the resolution and asked that the de-
partments be placed on equal footing
with others in the State.
Mr.. Allen said he believed the mat
ter should be left with the council
Alderman Brown said there had been
no cut in the pay of street department
employees by the present street com
missioner to 81 rs a day.
John Nicholson said he noticed that
all speaking in favor of the tax were
men who were but nominal taxpayers
and that the increase they advocated
would not touch them. The resolu-
ton was then placed before the house
but the viva voce vote was so close
that ballot was taken which result

BITTER ATTACK ON RULE
Continued from page ~

An interesting fractional cleavage
has occurred in Balfours party over
tariff reform. The Spectator, which
is the spokesman of the Unionist
party has proposed that the tariff re-
formers pledge themselves to submit
the question to referendum, if the
party wins, 1t not being a leading
issue of the campaign. The most
ardent tariff reformers, led by the
Morning Post, contend that it is the
foremost principle of the party. "The
Unionist party breaks into fragments"
says the Post, IF Unionist VIC
tory does not mean tariff reform"
Mr.. Balfour tonight announced his
willingness to leave it to a referen-
dunn. In the meantime, the leaders
are making every appeal to what in
| the United States would be called the
Independent vote, believing that 1t
controls the issue.
The Irish Unionists sent a message
of defiance to home rulers to Mr..
from the Non-Conformist Unionist
Association of England and 600
ministers of non-Episcopal churches
in ireland have addressed Mr.. Bal
four in opposition to home rule.
The reading of the message from
the Irish Unionists at Albert Hall
caused much enthusiasm. "In all
selemnity," said the message, eve

bring ireland not peace bu the
sword If an Irish parliament is set
up the Unionists of the South, allied
with the men of Ulster, will not ac-
! knowledge its authority. They will
neither obey it's decree nor pay its
| taxes"
Mr. Balfour pronounced strongly
in favor of the referendum as the
method of settling deadlocks between
! the two houses without requiring
the reform of the House of Lords and
it could be carried into effect before
the House of Lords was reformed
This he declared to be Lansdowne's
plan. He also said Il have not the
least objection to submitting tariff
reform to a referendum. 1t seems
to me that our opponents should re-
spond with the generosity of honor
able combatants, and say we agree
that home rule shall be subject to
referendum. too
He ended by declaring that the
cabinet was governed by it's nolsies'
members, who were governed by
John Redmond, who was governed
by Patrick Ford. Don't trust tht

parts on the stage adomished Mr
Balfour. Don't trust the Irish wire

paymaster who calls for a tune

He was asked by what authority

paid as the result of an assessment,
but contributed informally.

Chairman Bruce interrupted to say
that it was on record that James R.
Keene left his country after the
committee issued a subpoena for
him and after he knew the committee
wanted him. AS to Mr.. Whitney. he
said, it was not established when he

Mr.. Belmont, but the acts of the

The census returns show that New

decade The gain by States was as

ON TEMPERANCE BILLS
Continued from page ~

The speaker said a saloonkeeper
told man who told him that there
were 100 places in Burlington where
liquor Is sold Five great church
denominations are continually asking
for a referendum representing 1OO,-
600 people. In eight years the Re-
publican party has said no word in
favor OF local option. He claimed
that the Republican platform of 1910
contemplated that the Legislature
would grant referendum and the
license newspapers so believed.
Prof. o. X. Hollister of Barre,
spoke for the Universalists, C. II.
Hayden of Jericho for the Good
Templars in favor of the bill. Rev.
Mr.. Snyder of Danville a Congrega-
tionalist and Rev. A. J. Clark of
Burlington, an Adventist, also ia
vored the bill. Rev. Mr.. Moody, of
Island Pond, a Methodist, said there
would have been big fight in the
last Republican State Convention if
the liquor plank had not been
changed. Rev. w. c. Clark, Con-
gregationalist, said the matter with
Vermont was provincialism. A
larger responsibility to the State as
a whole is needed. He argued for a
referendum, as did Rev Mr.. BREASTED
pastor of the Barre Baptist church.
Mr. BREASTED said if only few peo-
pie want a referendum it will af-
ford the finest possible demonstra-
ton of the efficiency of the present
law. Mrs. e. j. Parmelee, of Enos-
burg Falls, spoke for the women
citing instances of the evils OF
drunkenness and incidentally speak
ing good word for votes for women,
Rev. Mr.. Howard of Barnet, spoke
for the Prohibition party and claimed
that the present law was not better
enforced thus the old prohibtory
law.
w. r. Austin of St Adams, be-
lieved that previous speakers had
entirely mistaken as to the meaning
of the temperance plank of the Re-
publican platform. There seems to
be a misapprehension of terms The
! is no legitimate use of liquor save
| for medicinal, mechanical and chem
| ical purposes. Men have a legitimate
right to use liquors temporarily as
beverage. You know from so years
of prohibition that men men will

WALL IN RESERVOIR
DR.. Davis Wants One Built So
That 1t Can Be Cleaned
in Summer.
HE CALLS WATER HEALTHY

That wall be built along the Gen.
err of the reservoir of the Richmond
City Water Works, is the suggestion
Of DR.. T. H. Davis. city health officer
The purpose of this wall is to make it
possible for the reservoir to be clean
ed during the summer without lower
ing the fire fighting efficiency of the
local department. The water works
company cleans the reservoir in the
spring. and autumn but never during
the summer when the demand is heavy
because of sprinkling. The company
fears possibility of big fire when
the wells would not be sufficient to
meet the demand.
On account of the numerous COM
plants because of the woody taste of
the water, the health department may
recommend that a roof be put over
the reservoir or that the proposed
wall be constructed. However, Dr.
Davis states supported by w. E. Bar
nard. chief of the chemistry depart
ment of the state, that the water is
not detrimental to health. Mr.. Bar
nard made a chemical test of the wa
