TAX COLLECTORS RIGHTS.
Involved in Case Now Being Heard
Before Supreme Court-DecisiOh
Important.

The case of Perley A. Crawford
against O. " Joslyn, Orleans Coun-
ty, occupied the attention of Supreme
Court yesterday. This is a case in
volving the validity of certain take
collected by the defendant in the
performance of his duty as tax col
lector and was entered in County
Court in November, 1908, and when it
came to trial in the lower court judg-
ment for the defendant to recover
costs was entered. The case was
then carried to the Supreme Court on
exceptions by the plaintiff.
Whether or not tax collector has
the legal right to collect the GUS
tomary fee and charge for mileage in
the case of delinquent taxpayer is
also involved, particularly when
taxes that are overdue are paid vol
unfairly and without solicitation. Ac-
cording to law the collector may
charge so cents for the levy, 10 cent J
as mileage and eight per cent for
collection.
A decision in this case, which will
be rendered by Judge Powers, will
be watched with interest by tax col
lectors throughout the State as it will
affect one as much as the other.

FOSTER SEES PRESIDENT.
"MiddIe of the Road" Republicans
viii Support Progressive Meas


The Washington correspondent OF
the Boston Globe says that Con-
gressman ID. j. Foster, who stands as
the spokesman for many leading Re.
publicans who are not open Insur-
gents, but still favor a change in the
House leadership, was also one of the
Presidents callers Tuesday morning
and he assured Mr.. Taft that he could
count upon his support as well
as that of the men who feel as he
does.
The position of the middle of the
road" Republicans, as Mr.. Foster and
his friends call themselves, was
plainly stated to the President by Mr.
Foster. He told Mr. Taft that he and
many other members, who probably
constitute majority of the Republ'
can membership of the House, be-
lieve that the country demands pro
pressive legislation and that they will
do what they can to secure it's enact
ment. While favoring changes in the
House, Mr.. Foster said, they did not
think that the effort to secure those
changes should be permitted to block
| the Presidents program.

MADE REGULAR INSPECTION
Trustees and Supervisors of the State
Hospital For the Insane Met at
Waterbury.


Dr. Fred f. Steele of this city re-
turned Wednesday morning from Wat
erbury, where he attended a meeting
of the combined boards of both the
trustees and the supervisors of the
insane. The meeting was held in the
afternoon in the village and no in
specton was made of the hospital, as
is the usual custom on such occasions.
Nothing was done which the board
wishes to make public at this time,
but it is understood that the burned
section of the hospital will be finish
ed along the old plans and that the
bill for the same will be brought be-
fore the next session of the Legisla-
ture for approval, although the in
surance amply covers the loss.
The Board of Supervisors has no.
things to do with the building of the
hospital as the buildings are solely
in charge of the trustees, but the
board has charge of the medical and
physical welfare of the patients and
that is why they were included in the
meeting. The patients were found to
to housed very well, considering that
three wards were totally destroyed
and all seems to be comfortable, in
spite of the crowded quarters. The roof
has already been placed on the burn
ed wing, but has not yet been made
water proof, so that the interior re-
pairing cannot be done for a while.

Condition of Lake mt Burlington.

The weather Monday was of the va
riety which usually serves to close
over Lake Champlain at Burlington
and had stiff breeze not come up
during the afternoon ice probably
would have formed The lake had an
early start toward freezing this year
and was skimming over outside of
the breakwater when the rain and
thaw of a week ago swept the ice
away. At Mallets Bay and through
the northern islands the water has
been frozen hard for some time and
Is now in condition for cutting ice.
