RAILROAD MEN COMING.
Order of Railway Station Agents
to Visit St. Johnsbury on Their
Annual Excursion and Picnic.

st. Johnsbury is to be honored by
the visit of several railroad organi-
zations embracing the whole terri
tory of New England on Friday July
21st 1t is the annual meeting and
excursion of the Order of Railway
Station Agents and they have invit-
ed the Boston and Maine Station
Agents Association and the New
England Station Agents Association
to meet with them. Realizing the i'm
portance of showing the life and
spirit of the town on such an occa-
sion the Commercial club appointed
a special committee to plan enter
tainment for them during their stay
in town.
This committee, consisting of o. H.
Henderson, w. J. Bigelow and " E.
Lurchin, reported plan 1t thought
advisable to the executive committee
last Saturday and it was endorsed.
1t is the plan Of the local committee
to have one or two men meet the
special car of the party at Woods
vile and assign the baggage to the
different hotels and as soon as the
party arrives here have 80 or more
automobiles waiting to give them
short ride about the town.
If possible the band will be asked
to change it's concert that week to
Friday instead of Thursday evening
in the Court House park.
1t is hoped the Athenaeum will be
opened for inspection for an hour
or more at 7.30 in the evening and
the visitors go from there to the
Museum for reception from 8 until
10. From 10 until IL Pythian hall
will be opened for dancing. That
will complete st. Johnsbury' IS enter
tainment.
The party will leave here az 6.1O
Saturday morning for Sherbrooke
where the board of trade will serve
a free luncheon. Then the Canadi-
an Pacific railway will take the par
ty to Magog and give them boat
ride down the lake to Newport where
they will dfshurse for their homes.
These organizations have about
1000 members and it is expected
there will be from 125 to 200 in the
party. Some of the members will
bring their wives. Ihis excursion is
an annual affair and they have yis-
tied many famous attractions in the
past. If st. Johnsbury people re-
spond and give them. proper re-
ception it will place this village on
the list of one of the desirable places
with which these men have been
associated.

GOOD CELEBRATION
Everything Promised for lthe Fourth
Performed In St. Johnsbury.
Fine Parade and Contests.

S. A. Moore and DR.. j. M. Allen
as a special committee of the Conn
mercial club planned and advertised
a good program for the observance
of the Fourth of July in st. Johns
bury and they carried it out success
fully Tuesday. Not a feature that
was promised failed, there was not
an accident nor an arrest for intox-
ication. The weather was fair but
extremely hot, in fact so hot it prob
ably kept some people away. Another
thing that hindered people from the
south attending was the lack of train
service owing to the unsafe condi-
ton of the bridge near East Barnet.
Notwithstanding these hindrances
there was a large crowd in attend
ance and they seemed we'll pleased
with the exhibition.
While the parade was forming at
Arnold Park the bands gave concerts
at Court House park and in Summer
vile.
Cross Country Run.
A cross country run of over four
! miles was run of in the morning at
$50. Several men had entered but
only four started. The day was very
hot but in spite of this very good
time was made. The course was as
follows: Start on corner Main and
Eastern Avenue, down Western Av-
enue, to Fairbanks Barns, to Devils
Slide, to Knob, to Penniman's barns,
to cemetery, to Main street and in-
ish. 1t is interesting to note that
the winner lost two pounds of flesh
ON the run.

refusal to support. The care and
custody of the minor children was
decreed to the petitioner. Sarah w.
Hanson was divorced from Charles
G. Hanson on the ground of intoler-
able severity. Petitioner has leave
to resume her maiden name of Sarah
w. Powers. Grace G.. Francis was
divorced from Loveland M. Francis
on the ground of neglect and refusal
to support. Custody of the minor
child, Airline, was decreed the petit
toner.
In the case of State VS.. Ernest
Grant for impeding an officer bail
was fixed at $500 and in another
case against the same respondent for
breach of the peace bail was fixed
at 500 and the respondent was re-
leased from custody.

Want to Raise Stock.
Club members and many outside
friends, including business men, feel
that a Woman's Club House, as plan
ned, will open many avenues of help
fulness that will go to benefit the
whole village therefore they are
desirous of raising right away from
$50 to 20v shares in order that they
can begin Immediately on the build
ing OF the auditorium and other nec-
essary improvements They hope
that the beginning of the busy win
ter social season will find the audi
torium and as many of the other
rooms as possible ready for rental,
and hence, income. 10 this end
they ask that not only club members
but also interested and public spirit
ed citizens will take larger or smaller
blocks of stock. The par value of
each share is $1,000 and they are
worcestershire. Miss Kate Wakefield,
Winter street, is treasurer of the
association and she or other mem
bers of the board of directors of the
club will be happy to talk with you.

The total grand list for the town
is $65, ,826.04 and tax of $1.10 on
a dollar will yield revenue of $72,-
405,21.
In showing some CT the final eff
fects of the changes in the grand
list Mr.. Braley called attention to
the state law which is intended to
help the poor small towns in the
state that cannot support high
school to the extent of not over $24
per pupil sent to high school. This
law provides that if town without
a high school pays from 40 to SO
cents on the dollar of the grand list
for the support of schools the state
will pay one-fourth Of the maximum
of $24 for each pupil sent to a high
school. Or Sc; if they experd from
so to, so cents the state pays one
half, or $12; from so to 20 cents the
state pays three-fourths or $18 st.
Johnsbury has no high school and
under the old appraisal it paid in
excess of so cents and so received
back for the state SIS per pupil sent
to the Academy for. a high school
training. Under the new appraisal
We shall expend only Is centsson a
dollar of the grand list and so receive
from the state only Sc per pupil.
This means an increased cost of S12
a year for every pupil the town sends
to the Academy. Add to this the
extra $4,000 we are obliged to pay
into the state treasury now and it
will be seen the change is quite ex-
pensive.
The town is obliged by law to
raise at least 20 cents on a dollar for
highways and with the increased
grand list the town must raise So
286.05 more than it did last year.
The town pays back to the village
three-fourths of all the road tax
assessed upon the taxable polls and
real estate within the village limits.
So under the new arrangement the
town must pay over to the village
more than before.

THE HoOKER's ENLARGING.

Bridge Near East BARNET Settled And
Was Unsafe

Some time during Sunday night,
the Boston and Maine railroad bride
at East Barnet settled about three
and one-half inches in the middle
thus making the bridge unsafe. The
cause OF this settling is laid to the
fact that the bridge has been in use
for SO long that it gave away from
oyer-use. The trains could not cross
and had to go via Whitefeld
and Lunenburg Work was I'M
mediately begun on the bridge
by putting piles under it to support
structed. This iron bridge will be
on the same plan as the other rail-
road bridges. The work on the bridge
was finished sc that trains were able
to cross Tuesday afternoon

TAX RATE REDUCED.
Town Win Pay $1.lO Instead Of
$1.13 and Village Tax Payers
$l.6O Instead Of $1.78.

5 At the special town and village
meeting Saturday evening about rs
voters turned out and reduced the
town tax from $1.13 on dollar of
the grand list to $1.10 and the vii
lage tax from 65 cents to SO cents on
the dollar. There was no opposi-
ton to the reduction Of the village
tax and only Selectman Charles
Weeks spoke in opposition to the re-
ducticn of the town tax. He believed
the rate fixed at the March meeting
would not give any large surplus of
money but the voters favored the re-
duction. Town Clerk Braley made
very clear and instructive state
ment of the towns finances and
showed the voters that the increased
appraisal of the real estate is not en-
tirely beneficial to the town and in
effect benefits the village more than
it does the rest of the town.
We give first the estimate of ex-
penses for the year made by Mr..
