their taxes (if they do not have 1T at
handy and save what seems double m
terest Ito an Onlooker) and an eXorbl-
tant demand on the class who have no
bank account. 1t is easy to see that the
burden of taxation falls on the poor
man.

blasted out on the West Dummerston
road from Dummerston Center on the
West hill road near A. T. Miller s and
on the river road near Mrs. Elvira
Fields s. Many accidents may be avert
ed by this Strengthening of the roads
for destruction has been more feared IN
recent years by choosing the narrow
way than in travelling the broad way.
There are curves where 1t would be
good thing to have the bushes cut.
