destroyer Of the potato bug. He

sumes has been proved TO he the pota-

Grain Spectator Is a Curse.

It's the business of the farmer to
raise the grain; it's the business Of the
grain dealer to receive. clean and
market the grain; it's the business Of
the miller to grind the grain, and it's
the function Of the Spectator to buy
the surplusage of the 5,OOO,OO0,OOO
bushels of grain produced in this
country as a speculation, and any
farmer, grain dealer, miller, artisan or

REPORT OF PUBLIC SERVICE
COMMISSION

The following is the report of the
Public Service Commission in regard to
grade crossings at Middiebury:
This is a petition by the Rutland
Railroad Company against the town of
Middlebury and the village of Middle
bury, in the county of Addison in this
State, and others, alleging that in said
village on the line of the petitioners
railroad, and near its passenger station,
are three railroad-hghway crossings at
grade, one on each of the streets called
Seymour Street, Willard Street, and
Elm Street; that these crossings are
among the most dangerous on the line
OF the petitioners railroad; that public
safety requires that they be eliminated;
that this can be done by the construc-
ton of an underpass and of designated
connecting sections of public highway,
and praying that they be so eliminated
After due notice hearing was had on
this petition at the Village of Middle
bury on July 26, 1911.
From the evidence, including our per-
sonal examination of the locality, we
find that the above recited allegations
of said petition are true; that at least
one of said crossing, has been created
since the construction of the Rutland
Railroad; and that public safety and
convenience require that all of said
crossings be eliminated by the construc-
ton of the underpass, of the connecting
sections of public highway, and making
the other changes indicated in the fol-
lowing order, which is made with the
consent of the petitioner, of the town
of Middlebury, and of the Village of
Middlebury.
