Miss Harriet L. Chase of Ludlow has
just completed typewriting and indexing
$4,000 cards in the town clerks office.
Upon these cards are recorded all of the
real estate transactions that were ever
returned to the office prior to the year
1880. The case in which the cards are
kept holds 30 drawers labeled on the out
side with the name of the first and last
transaction contained within. By this
system it is possible in a few moments
time to find the record of any real estate
transfer that has ever taken place In
town. A great deal of credit is due to
Miss Chase for the perseverance, rapidity
and accuracy with which she accom-
plshed the task.
First Selectman Myron II. Ray and DR..
f. S. Allbee, have spent the larger part of
the time the last few weeks in thorough
examination of all the barns in which
cows are quartered that furnish milk
to the Bellows Falls dealers. In this
work over 40 different farms have been
visited in this and other towns, in both
Vermont and New Hampshire This in
spection is in accordance with the new
law in the state, and the majority OF
premises have been found to be in first
class condition In a few instances, local
dealers have been notified of certain
farm buildings, and methods, that must
be improved, or they must not receive
milk from them. Bellows Falls citizens
are almost unanimous in the feeling that
the average quality of the milk de-
| livered here has been very materially inn
proved during the past five years.
