the real interest OF the voters became
manifest. Judge Kittredge Haskins asked
that the resolution passed at the village
meeting, May 3, be read. 1t was as fol-
! lows
Resolved That the chair appoint two
citizens who together with the board oil
lbailiffs shall constitute a committee to IN
yestigate further in regard to lighting con
ditions in Brattleboro. 1t shall be the duty
of said committee to get information from
surrounding towns, their rates for city and
commercial lighting, their method OF pro
ducing power and TO negotiate with the
| local company for terms and to report TO
the village at special meeting to be
called later"
Judge Haskins thought if no report was
forthcoming from the ballitfs the meeting
ought to be adjourned. As he understood
the resolution a report should be made by
the baiiffs. Scion A. Richmond OF the
board of baiitfs said that the bailitfs as a
board were not in favor OF municipal
plant, He was of the opinion that the
| Twin State company could not make a bet
ter rate than it has already done as he
thought the company was paying large IN
terest on watered stock. lie didn't think
the village baililfs could do business with
the Twin State company. Mr.. Kane re-
fcrred to the cost OF maintaining NUM-
cipal plant as estimated by Mr.. ADAMS,
the electrical engineer, which was $4,000
year. As the town and village together
are paying about 1000 year tor street
lighting he thought a municipal plant was
not entirely out of question.
The first bit of genuine excitement came
when William H. Vinton inquired sub
stantialy as did Judge Haskins regarding
the part the bailiffs were supposed to take
in the matter under discussion. lie
thought that the voters were entitled to
a report from the board and if it was not
Forthcoming he was of the opinion that the
bailiffs had called the meeting foolIshly.
Chairman Waterman fastened to state
what the bailffs could report in the way
of figures received from the Twin State
company but Mr.. Vinton wanted report
Colonel Estey explained that he under
stood that commercial lighting was not
made part of the committees investlga-
tions, yet he would keep that phase OF the
matter in mind. L. L. Holden made a mo-
ton that the bailitfs make no contract ex-
cept at fiat rate of eight cents.
Manager f. NJ. Adds of the Twin State
company said that he had not come to
the meeting prepared to discuss CONNER
cial rates. He felt that his company had
made a substantial reduction in its rates
for commercial lighting He said that his
company had not had time to get a year

favored a one instead OF iive-year con.
tract with the Twin State company for

such a contract would be satisfactory TO
him as a bailiti. Though the Gibson mo-
ton to adjourn had not been put ii was

Crosby defended the position OF the
bailiffs and referred to the fact that Brat
tleboro is getting better rate for street
lights than Chcopee, Mass. Mr.. Dun
ham offered a motion that the ballitfs be
instructed to make contract with the
Twin State company for all-night lights,
every night in the year, Tor one year at
so for arc and ST. for incandescent
lamps. These figures were the ones offered
by the Twin State company for five
year contract. Mr.. Adds was not sure
that his company would care to make a
contract for one year on the same basis
that il would for a tive-year period. Mr.,
Holden favored a one-year contract Mr.,
kaine was unable to understand why the
company should object to making one
year contract in view of the fact that since

Judge +. w. Gibson offered motion to
adjourn the meeting two weeks IN order
to permit the bailiffs an opportunity TO
make report as called for IN the resol'-
ton passed May 3. Judge Haskins sec
onded the motion but Chairman Water
man did not put the motion and debate
proceeded. Judge Gibson thought that a
report was due from the bailiffs. Mr.. Kane
thought a further report from the ballltfs
unnecessary unless the proposed contract
of the Twin State people be submitted. lie
thought the Adams report covered the
ground. Judge Gibson asked whether the
committee and the bailiffs had acted to.
gether: Chairman Waterman said that the
baliffs had done the negotiating and
that the citizens committee had made the
report. Judge Gibson insisted that he
would like a report of Just what the

given them in the resolution, and Chair

Less than $50 persons attended the
special village meeting held in Festival
hall Friday evening to listen to the report
of the special committee appointed TO
make a study OF street lighting rates
which other municipalities are paying.
The voters INDUCED in about % minutes
of discussion aud ended by ordering the
baiifs to make contract with the lwln
State Gas x Electric company Tor one IN
stead OF five years. This the electric com.
pany refused to do, and the advocates OF
a municipal plant predict that 1t IS bound
to come. The prices at which the balllils
were authorized to negotiate one-year
contract were $40 for arcs and SIT Tor IN
candescents. The figures stipulated by the
Twin State company for one-year con
tract are $50 and $40. This would make
a difference of 1928 year to the village
Chairman Ernest j. Waterman called
the meeting to order at ) O'Clock, and
Clerk William II. Perry read the warning,
Chairman Waterman asked the clerk to
read the resolution which was passed at a
previous village meeting and which was
the authority for the special committee on
electric lighting.
The report Of Col. j Gray Estey. and
Horton u. Walker, acting as citizen $
committee in conjunction with the balllfis,
was read. 1t was brief and has been
given in substance in previous issues OF
The Reformer. II was to the effect that
while Brattleboro is paying lower rate
for its street lighting than any other mum
cpality, with the exception OF Burlington,
which has municipal plant, IN view OF
the peculiar conditions surrounding Brat
tleboro the committee believes this town
should have a still lower rate for its lights.
ii rate cannot be secured from the Twin
State Gas & Electric company as low as
that mentioned by Alton d. Adams, the
electrical expert, i'll his report the commit
tee recommends the installation of mu-
nicipal plant.
When the clerk finished reading the re-
port Colonel Estey stated that the report y,
was to the board of bailiffs. John L.
Kaine of the board of bailitfs said that the
board had no formal report to make but
that the board was not unanimously in favor
of municipal plant. Chairman Water
man said that as he understood it the
board was not in favor OF municipal
plant.
Colonel Estey spoke briefly to the effect
that the voters should not lose sight OF the
extremely favorable conditions under
which current can be secured In Brattle-
boro. He stated that he did not believe
the present rate paid for street lights or the
rate paid for commercial uses was low
enough. He believed there ought to be a
fat eightcent rate While he as mem
Der of the committee recommended NUM-
cipal plant he was not absolutely sure
that such a plant should be. installed.
However, Colonel Estey cautioned the
voters from taking any action at the meet
ing which would block the way toward Sc
curing a lower rate from the Twin State
company than is now paid.

THE CHURCH AND
THE LABORING PEOPLE
They Are Needful to Each Other and
Should Go Arm in Arn-Sermon by
Rev. DR.. Kaufman.

The Church and Laboring People
Needful to Each Other was the theme
of Rev. DR.. NJ s. kaufman at Trinity
NJ. E. church Sunday morning when
he preached from the text Galatians
vi:2p Bear we one another's burdens
and so fulfil the law of Christ.
BY the church, we understand all re-
lisious organizations which claim to
follow the tea chings of Jesus Christ,
said Dr. Kaufman
Laboring people are those of limited
means, who are struggling to earn an
honest living for themselves and their
families.
These are not two distinct classes
of persons. For the churches of this
world are made up very largely of
toilers-wage earners-men and wo-
men who get their daily bread by
the daily sweat of their brows. How
ever. it is a fact that multitudes of
workingmen have gotten the impress
sion that the church is antagonistic
to them and hence they have become
aiienated. either Indifferent to the
church or openly hostile thereto. This
is a deplorab BILE situation-most unfor-
tunate, damaging and fatal to the
truest welfare of all concerned. Both
sides are bameworthy. The breach Is
not wholly the fault of the toiler.
Some men who have been most exact
ing and borne down upon the wage
earners have been prominent, influen
tial church members. The atm phere
of many churches, the lack of warmth
and sympathy for the workingma has
been chilling and repellant. Again,
we ministers, in our zeal for the spir-
itual and eternal welfare of the peo-
pie have often failed to place due
emphasis upon the needs Of the body
raj necessities. We have made the
impression that we are too much alb
sorbed in trying to increase the popu-
la ton Of heaven to be sufficiently in
terested in endea voring to improve the
condition of earth's burdened and suf-
fering population. Men and women in
want have often found more practical
assistance in benevolent orders and la
Dor societies than they could get from
the church. So rapid have been the
changes the church has not been able
to adjust itself to the new and try
er to do her full duty to all classes
and repents her failures and sins
touching the labor problem.
Action of Federal Council.
The federal council of the Churches
of Christ of America made up of the
leading evangelical Protestant denomi-
nations, over thirty in number, shows
proof of this by its recent action.
1t says: ITO us it seems that the
churches must stand:
For equal rights and complete JUS
tice for all men in all stations in life.
For the right of workers to some
protection against the hardships often
resulting from the swift crises of in
dustriaI change.
For the principle of Cancellation and
arbitration in Industrial discussions.
"For the protection of the worker
from dangerous machinery occupa-
tional disease, injuries and mortality.
For the abolition of. child labor. For

Good Way to Use
HyOmei for Catarrh

Besides breathing through the m
haler q few times day, many catarrl
sufferers write that they find inhaling
IiYOMEI pronounce it High Q -ine)
from a bowl of steaming water each
night before retiring, a great aid IN
curing stubborn cases.
Try it: it's very simple; gives quick
relief and makes you breathe easier.
Fill bowl half full of boiling water:
pour into the water a teaspoonful of
HYOMEI, cover head and bowl with q
towel and breathe through nose and
mouth the pleasant medicated, anti
septic and healing vapor that arises.
This method relieves that STIFFNESS
at once, and makes your head feel fine.
You can get a bottle of HYOMEI at
druggists everywhere or at The Lee &
Osgood Co. for only so cents. Ask for
extra bottle HYOMEI Inhalant.
But bear in mind that q HYOMEI
outfit which includes inhaler and bot
tie of HYOMEI costs $1.00.
But, as stated before. if you already
own an inhaler, a bottle of HYOMEI
costs but so cents.
HYOMEI is guaranteed by The Lee

where to cure catarrh. sore throat,
coughs, colds. asthma and Group. or

basis.
