Wiley presented a statement from the

last year, This policy leaves ont the

city was not liable and would not cancel

Alderman Rossi stated that the resi-.

10 him that the dust from the citys
stone crusher, which hes recently been
set up near the Mari a Gordon plant,
was a nuisance to the habitauts on the

their complaint was justified, too, as
from bic observation It was impossible
for windows on the rear Of the houses
to be left OPEN because the dust sifted
into the houses and clothes could not be

that the dust was 40 thick that the

Those who may propose TO form a
baseball league in Vermont next season

players were paid for their whole serv.

the end of the season does not find a
bad feeling ON their part nor are the
various tradesmen aud clearinghouse
keepers in pursuit Of the custodian Of
the funds to get their Just recompense.
That is a refreshing contrast to other
baseball experiments IN various cities
and towns Of Vermont in several years
back, when so.called league baseball
was tried out Possibly not single
baseball association was able at the end
Of The season to state that all its bills
were paid, one hundred cents on the
