Homer A. Lyons who has been
voter in this town for upwards Of for
~ years, we believe, informs The
Banner that in our article the other
day about the town debt We failed to
mention some facts OF interest that
are generally unknown to the pres
ent generation and which have per-
haps been forgotten even by some OF
the older voters. When the war clos
ed Bennington was heavily In debt as
a result OF the extraordinary expen'
SEES incurred as a result OF the war
and when the big railroad debt was
assumed forty.four years ago the bulk
OF the war debt remained unpaid so
that the town was burdened as few
Vermont towns ever we're. In those
DAYS interest rates were high and the
interest charges for years were In
the neighborhood Of fifteen thousand
dollars a year and some years In ex'
cess OF that amount. AS a result the
town has paid in interest alone close
10 a half million dollars during the
past fifty years. Just think for

reasonably sure is free from this ter.
rible disease. The state board Of
health and its local branch agree that
tuberculosis is just as liable to be
spread through the butter from an
affected animal as through the milk,
and it seems incongruous that they
have power to protect the public
from contaminated milk, but no power
when it comes to butter. Our local
board has been mighty lenient with
local milk dealers in allowing them
ample time to adapt themselves to
new conditions, but we have faith
to believe that ultimately it will In
sist that Brandon's milk supply be
as wholesome and free from contami-
nation as possible. BY this we mean
not only the main source Of supply,
but all the little streams that flow
into it. Then a milk dealer will not
dare to furnish milk from his neigh
boris COW unless his neighbor con-
forms to the law-Brandon Union.

Now that Bennington has gone
through its annual farce OF electing
two road commissioners to spend the
few hundreds of dollars that the town
is able to devote to the highways in
the rural districts the village will
proceed in a few weeks to appoint
another road commissioner to spend
the village highway money. In the
meantime the village of North Ben
nington and the village of Old Ben
nington will each choose a road COM
missioner and then the town will have
its full complement of five road com
missioners to do the work that one
competent and thorough, experienced
man could do at less expense and at
much greater advantage to the town
The Banner is not criticising our
town road commissioners either past
or present. AS the years pass we
have some good ones, some bad and
some Indifferent, but we believe that
the town could do better We hope
that the time will come when at least
Bennington, the rural districts and
Old Bennington will get together and
employ one competent, high grade, ex
pert road man to take charge OF the
highways even If they have to send
out of the state to get the right man.
We believe that such a plan would be
in the line of progress and a direct
benefit to the town and every tax
payer.

Shadow Decorations.

Charming nature decorations can be
made by shadow work of very sim
pie sort Let the shadow of a spray
of any plant or flower be thrown on a
sheet of drawing paper, then outline
there with pencil and afterward flied
in with fiat even color. This gives
an effect that is fairly japanese in
quality, especially If the direction to
use only the one color and not try
any shading be followed. If there is,
say, a spray of chrysanthemums to be
drawn, the leaves may all be in fiat
tone of green and the flowers all in
the same yellow. The designs may
also be embroidered but should still
be done without attempt at shading.
For such drawing the lamp must be
lar least six feet away from the object
and the object as close as possible to
the paper. Portraits in silhouette
may be made in the same way.
light frame with a sheet of glass
in it may be used for the sihouettes.
The sitter may be placed i'm a chair
which has broomstick on the back
and loop of string. Let the head be
put in the loop and then pressed for
ward. This will steady it. Then on
the other side of the glass the draw
ing may be made at ease. If the
lamp is turned low the shadow of the
head is made sharper-St. Nicholas.
