BaiIlffs' Meetings Open to Public.

Some taxpa yers have criticised the
bailiffs because they hold too many spe-
cial meetings. The critics seem to think
that the public does not know when the
meetings are to be held and so the tax
payers who are really stockholders in the
municipal corpora ton cannot attend their
meetings. Some critics have gone so far
as to suggest that the future board ougnt
to be instructed by a public resolution to
meet upon a regular date. In justice to
the present and past boards of bailiffs it
ought to be said that for several years
1t has been the custom of the bailiffs to
hold a regular meeting once a month on
the second Friday of each month in the
parlorS Of the Vermont National bank and
that the public are at liberty to attend
these regular meetings except when the
board may wish to take up matters in
executive session. During the past few
months several important matters have
come before the bailiffs for consideration
which have necessitated their holding Il
large number of special meetings because
the bailiffs were unable to dispose of their
business at their regular meetings. These
transactions included the negotiation and
execution of a 25-year water contract,
a 10year lighting contract the reorgani-
cation of the fire department and large
amount of sewer work. Three of these
matters will not come up before future
boards for several years on account of
the long term contracts which have been
made The board of bailiffs are on a
salary basis and not on a per diem basis
as the Vermont Legislature is at the pres
ent time, and so their large number OF
special meetings are not held for the pur-
pose of drawing salary. Thus it would
seem that their attitude of taking plenty
of time to scrutinize important matters
should be complmented. Il BrattleborC
