VOTED si.7s TAX.
Montpelier City Council Will Borrow
o,ooo-Many Matters Considered.

Slo,OOO-Many matters Considered.
The Montpelier city council had busy
session last evening and voted to borrow
$4,000 in anticipation of taxes, to con.
tinue the present contract with the
Cory Deavitt- Frost company for light
ing the city hall, TO build a cement walk
and curb in front of the city building,
and to levy tax of Sl75 on the dollar
for the coming year. The filed grand
list book is made the basis of taxation,
and the tax rate bill as provided by
such book is to be signed by the mayor
and council. in order to make all the
taxes collectable under the statute
When the bids for lighting the city
hall were opened, it was found that the
Consolidated Lighting company bid 8 2-3
cents per kilo watt hour for 2s5 lamps
and furnish lamps, or cents per k. W. b.
if the city furnishes lamps. The Cory
Deavitt- Frost company bid 4 cents per
k. W. h., the city to furnish lamps, and
it was voted to renew the contract
with the latter company Other mo-
tions carried were: To reduce the rental
price of the city hall for the Allied
Woman's clubs, for five nights during
the winter from SIS to $40 each; TO
have new and repainted road signs
placed throughout the city.
There was some talk regarding pro-
posed road repairs on Main street. and
on comparing prices it was found cement
walks would cost go cents a square foot
more than tar concrete, and that the
total difference of the cost Of the walk
in front of the city hall would be $3.50
in favor of concrete However, it was
voted to put in the cement walk
Another question that came up was
the burning of the lights in the base
ment of the city barn, where the ladder
truck is kept, and it was suggested to
have the wiring changed so ths lights
can be turned on when the alarm is
sounded and thereby save $3.50 per
month. which is the cost of the present
system. Mr.. Buck of Berlin entered
complaint that the water from Berlin
pond has set back onto his hay crop,
and that he wants the city to settle for
the damage done or purchase about 30
acres about the pond belonging to him.
The matter was referred to the water
committee to report.
Bills amounting to 1886 were paid the
call and suh-cal men of the fire depart
ment for the half year just closed, and
water bills amounting to Sl,06S6s were
also ordered paid. The council has de-
eided that the lodging of tramps in the
city hall should be dispensed with. and
the matter was left with the property
committee.

A Party Booked For Ruin.

No party has ever yet won its way in
this country upon negative platform.
The path of political history is strewn
with the wreckage of parties that had
only this standing. The Roosevelt party
has less substance than almost any 9TH
er third party. 1t has no principles to
regular procedure Of the convention at
Chicago. At best this is only the set
ting up Of one class Of opinion against
another. The outcome Of the campaign
of Roosevelt, if actively carried on, VIII
be determined by the nature of the plea.
This will be to passion and prejudice.
1t win be an appeal to class and hatred
and to fractional animosities. 1t will
place premium upon revolution. The
country must be warned that the upris-

Chairman Fleetwood's address to the
state convention at Burlington was opti-
mistic and hopeful and briefly sets out
what the Republican party has accom-
plished in Vermont in the past few years
and holds out the hope of further prog
ress in the matter of legislation. Most
of what has been done is good, but the
only hope of the party for the future
is to accomplish more in the way OF
progressive legislation and if it doesn't
it will soon find itself in the minority,
even in Vermont.

Bessemerizing Asphalt.

More recently the petroleums from
California and Texas have furnished, in
the court Of their utilization, large sup.
plies Of asphaltic resdues. A man who
has shown mis- genius in many other
lines Walter P. Jennep, was among the
first to conceive the idea that this as
phaltic material could be "bessemerized
that is, blown with air in W.. that
would make it sticky and elastic to a
certain extent. Elastic material for
roofing and even substitutes for rubber
in automobile tires have been obtained
from asphaltie residues by this blowing
process or by treating with sulphur. This
sulphurizaton of asphalt has even beea
applied with good effect to elaterite and
similar hard asphalts from eastern Utah,
The extension of this interesting besse-
merizing process holds out attractive
possibilities for example, that the same
raw material may be used in both the
elastic tire of the automobile and the
road over which it runs.

means leading reactionaries, frankly
admit that they do not know and have
no means of knowing the full extent
of the Roosevelt strength In the diff
ferent states. The same leaders, the
Sun says. express doubt II Mr.. Roose-
welt himself could persuade his fol
lowers to support Taft.
1t is known that what the Sun points
out with such clcarness is the real be-
lief Of all the reactionary leaders both
in Washington and those throughout
the country.
The fight has ceased to be one for
the denomination of President Taft and
has become one solely to prevent the
voters Of the nation from controlling
the convention and forcing the nomina-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt
This is concession to the rapidly in
