21st Anniversary of Epworth League.

The Dist anniversary Of the founding
of the Epworth league, likewise the or
ganization of the local league Of The
Methodist church, WAS obsered in an
appropriate manner Sunday evening. A
special musical! program was rendered
by special choir. Brief remarks were
made by the incoming officers who were
installed, and the retiring board. As W.
A. Moore was reelected president of the
league it was necessary that the address
of the retiring president be given by
some one else and Mrs. Bertha Dean
spoke for Mr.. Moore. Mr.. Moore in
accepting the presidency of the league for
another year spoke of the work of the or
ganization during the past year and proph-
esied still better things for the year to
come. Addresses were made by Charles
H. Hawkins, one of the retiring vice
presidents, Miss Elfra Bemis, second vice
president, Miss Minnie Rawson for Miss
Irene Plimpton, third vice-president, Miss
Corona Bell, fourth vice-president, and
Miss Gertrude Nichols, secretary. The
installation of the officers followed. The
pastor Rev. Fred A. Wells, spoke Of the
significance of the occasion of the league
becoming of age,-and told of the work
of the organization during its existence.
He referred to what the league had ac-
as an auxiliary of the church
and said that as a power in church work
it is bound to become still more potent.
After the close of the program the even
ing was spent in social way. The meet
ing was held in the auditorium of the
church and was well attended.

tigation, for the village of Brattleboro will
probably have as large II not larger
population than three cities OF this state
A careful study OF the experiences under
both forms OF government in these cities,
as well as the methods used by places Of
the same size in neighboring states, would
throw some light ON this question.
Those opposed TO the scheme OF neor.
| porating as city, when asked to name
the department OF the village government
which will take more funds to run under
city form OF government, fail to give a
very satisfactory answer, only that II
would cost more for salaries to officials.
They concede that it would not cost any
more to run any Of the departments than
it does now under the present system with
proper officials. Some concede that per-
haps the road tax could be reduced, for
the money raised would all be spent with
in Incorporated limits. Of course tins
scheme might work a hardship on the tax.
payers in the town districts, IN view OF
the large number of automobiles owned
in the present village district, which
would use the roads OF the town while
they would be assessed in the city district.
The argument of the additional expense
for salaries to officials vanishes into thin
air when the total amount for salaries
under our double system is compared with
the amout which would be necessary in a
city of this size, or in comparison with
those paid in other cities of this state.
The question narrows down to COM
parison of the salaries Of a mayor and
board of aldermen and the selectmen OF
the town district, with those paid the
present board of bailiffs and selectmen.
The salary of $50 each is paid the baiiiffs
now would undoubtedly be adequate for
board of aldermen, when it is consider
ed that the aldermen in the largest city In
the state serve gratis. There would be a
saving on the salaries of the selectmen OF
800 or more, which would be a very re-
spectacle salary for a mayor, when com
pared with the salaries paid in the other
cities in the state. A large number OF the
progressive people think that the advan-
tages for growth would advance greatly,
by incorporating into city, and they VIII
undoubtedly make their views on this
point felt now before revised charter Is
secured. They feel that the ferment OF
the present conditions offers an excellent
opportunity to boom Brattleboro by max
ing it city.

TOWN SHOULD BECOME A CITY.
Some Arguments in Favor of Differ
emit Form of Government.

The incorporation of Brattleboro as a
city is being discussed by some of the pro-
gressive people of this town says the local
correspondent of the Springfield Repub-
lican. Others are discussing the advan-
tages of abolshing the village corpora
ton and having our entire governmental
affairs managed by the town officials. The
discussion of these questions has assumed
proportions owing to the passing of a
resolution at the recent village meeting
providing for the appointment by the
board of bailiffs of special committee to
investigate the advisability of securing a
new charter from the next Legislature.
1t is generally conceded by everyone
familiar with the present charter that it
is obsolete and inefficient. Thus the move
to secure charter better adapted to
the present conditions in Brattleboro
meets with great favor. But there is
quite a contingent of voters who argue
that it would be advantageous to abolish
the village corporation, for it would elm
mate the present duplicate machinery of
village and town government, which some
times works to disadvantage. Some argue
that all the business that is now done
by the town and village could be handled
by one set of officers more economically,
thus saving the salary of several officials.
They also claim that there would be fewer
,ogwheels in the governmental machinery,
md that it would naturally work more
