ESTABLISHING LIBRARIES IN YER
MONT.
1t is to be hoped that the work of
library establishment in Vermont will
hot be hindered by any belief that it is
wrong to seek state aid as a nucleus
md that the self-reliance Of the com
munities so seeking will be destroyed
by such aid AS The Times understands
the law, it allows the state board Of
library commissioners to appropriate
the sum OF one hundred dollars for the
purchase OF books for such towns as
Indicate a desire to have library
There is no intent in the provision to
foster hot-house infant, but it is
hoped to stir up the interest of the peo-
PIE of such communities in the use of
books and to develop an ambition to
purchase more books, using the state
aid as a nucleus. If it is admitted
That a library Of good books is a bene-

admitted that the library is benefit
whether it is furnished by the towns
people themselves or by the state or
by outsiders. The existence Of IL
brary is a power for good, and the
manner of requirement is of negligible
bearing on that value. It is agreed
That certain personal interest will
be added il the people Of town are
Alone responsible for the establishment
sf a library, but it is far better to
have triding state aid in such towns
As would never Of their own initiative

100000 for Burlington.

The business men Of Burlington are
waking up to the fact that something
has got to be done 70 keep the queen
city mp to the mark The census fig
ures were not encouraging While the
increase in population that came to Yer
mont was confined TO tne cities and larg-
er villages, Burlington, the largest city
IL the state did not get her share of
the increase. Some of the keen, far
sighted business men, who are anxious
to have the city 90 ahead, who are not
possessed with the idea that it is better
to keep 1t as college citya city Of
homes for the cultured nd wealthy APP
preeiate that they can not sit still aud

itself.
It has got to be helped along Plans
have got to be made and carried out
No plans that amount to anything can
be carried out without means. Quite
number Of business men stand ready
and willing to give their time and mon
ey, but they want the burden equal
lied. In community affairs there are
always few workers and giyers Very
often they are not the men who can
best afford to give the time and money
There is a movement on foot to raise
100000 for a fund to boom Burlington
II is argued that a sum of this proper
ton expended iudiciousiy by a com
petent committee, viii so increase prop
erty values as to take care Of the bonds

This plan would distribute the bur

circulated few viii give comparatively
large sums but the vast majority viii
nave nothing to do with the movement.

benefit from any public movement comes
to them almost directly The amount
that each taxpayer would have to pay
in a bonding scheme that would raise
100000 would be so small that even
a man of meagre means would be
to put it down opposite his
name on a subscription paper, yet if all
had to pay according to their ability the
sum would be enough.
This matter has already been dis
eussed by a few business men Of Bur

legal complications will prevent, some

Preventing Forest Fires.

The bill introduced BY Representative
n. X. Chafee Of Rutland in the Yer
mont legislature designed to prevent for
est fires is one that should be passed. or
at least its provisions in the main should
be adopted as the law OF the state Yer
mont has taken some advanced steps in
the forestry question during the past
two years and has started work of
great value in the preservation OF our
timber resources. State Forester A. r..
Halves has proven to be a most energetic
man, and Mr. Chaffee's bill follows his
line of recommendations Vermont has
not lost as heavily as some of the west
ern states by reason of forest fires. but
it has lost enough 1t is simply good
business judgment for the state to take
every possible measure to prevent the
useless loss Of timber in this direction.

Education In Monument Business.

Il may be fairly said that the rank
and file IN the monument business Will
compare favorably with those in the
other lines OF trade activity. Men from
nearly all walks Of life are engaged in
it and there viii be found among them
men whose word is as good as their
bond, and men who have striven to quail
fly themselves By such means as were
at their command in the early days.
Numbered among them. too, in the bus
mess tot day, are many young men whose
education in the common schools. the
colleges and schools Of art have made
them the equals, in many. many cases,
of men in any walk Of life But, and
heres the rub. there are also many
men who have had obusiness train
ing whatever, and are guided only in
al their doings BY decp.rooted, peculiar
notions They do not even read their
trade Journals they have no comprehen-
sion of trade ethics. their one endeavor

branch Of the trade; they are in evidence
all along the line from the quarry to the

to-day. The question win follow: What

Brattleboro is apparently on the
threshold of splendid industrial de-
velopment, and no town in Vermont has
recently shown any more hopeful signs
of progress. The certainty of large
cotton mill industry is now followed by
the announcement of Boston & Maine

an adequate railroad station All this

Who fourished long ago,
And claimed parental sympathy
Because he stubbed his toel
Whose griefs that reused us to alarm
No fercer forms would take
Than now and then a sunburnt arm
Or just a stomach achel

Such troubles would not own.
He hurries to the football fray
And breaks a collarbone
he does not let the teardrops dim
His eyes BY valors law

Paving and Sewer Assessments In Roch-

In Rochester, n. Y, pavements, sew
ers and other similar Improvements are
constructed under what Is known as 10.
cal improvement ordinances" These or
dinances provide, generally, that the en-
tire cost Of the work should be assessed,
in the case Of pavement, upon the
abutting propertyi and, in the case Of
sewer, upon the drainage territory.
This method of paying for such work Is
exactly the opposite to the practice in
many New England cities, where the en-
tire cost Of such work is betrayed from
tile general fund
This method in many cases imposes
hardship on the abutting property,
but has resulted in increasing very large

Thirteen million cartridge shells, the
result OF eleven years of shooting by

gathered Into huge pile by one Of the
leading sporting organizations of Eng

deposit them on the pile. The shell

five years to discharge 100000. The
