EXPERT MAKES REPORT
ON COUNTY BOOKS.

o, F. Callison, employed by the
county court to audit the county
books in the various offices in the
courthouse, has finished his work
and filed his report with County
Clerk S. F. Cheshire. The work went
back six years, as far as the statute
limitations run, and as a whole, the
report of the expert is a compliment
to the various officials in the several
offices, including the county court.
Except in two or three minor de-
tails, no criticism is expressed, ex-
cept that Mr.. Callison calls attention
that the law specifies that county
courts are to call for bids when an
expenditure of $500 or more is con-
templated; and he states that he
finds no record OF such procedure
in the purchase of bridges.
In connection with this, Judge
Stephen Jewell stated that the court
advertised for bids with no satisfac-
tory results, and at last went ahead
and did business, and In a number OF
cases saved the county rather gener.
Gus sums.
The probate work OF Judge Jewell
II commended. This work has grown
large and contrary to other years, ali
estates of minors are now being safe
guarded.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
Steps Taken to Secure Five Miles OF
Cement Observation-Disclosures Village
Charter Also In Prospect.

Brattleboros haphazard sidewalk sys-
tenn and it's inadequate village charter
two matters of great importance-were
discussed exhaustively in a largely at
tended meeting of the board of trade in
Grange banquet hall last evening and IN
ital steps were taken for securing a
general system of cement concrete walks
and a new charter which will be ample
for present needs. Absolute unanimity
OF sentiment In favor of the two propo-
sitions prevailed. and the remarks by
the various speakers were deeply inter-
esting. President M. c. Houghton stated
that seven persons walked where one
rode and that while we were expanding
large sums of money improving the high
ways nothing was being done Tor the
benefit of those who walk. He called
first ON c. L. Stickney, chairman Of the
public improvements committee, who had
prepared some data concerning side
dalks. Mr.. Stickney said that between
H. L. Emerson's on the north, the
creamery bride on the west, the Akley
house on the Guilford road. the Coolidge
house on the south and the east bound
airy of the village there is need of
about five miles of sidewalks-70O0 yards
~ three-foot walks and 1870 yards OF
four-foot walks, the cost of which is
estimated at about 5000 a mile. Estey-
Vile, Prospect hill, Oak Grove Extern
sion and SWedeVille are the sections
most in need of the improvement
Dana II. Gilman, civil engineer, said
the estimates did not include sub-grad-
ing. K. c. Crosby thought the work on
Main street last fall was good illus
tration of the Improvement of cement
concrete over tar concrete. III. c. Rice
explained that the Idea OF the directors
was to hit upon some plan of having
all the walks built at once instead of
a few each year, and OF arousing enough
interest in the subject so that the town
would vote to issue bonds to pay for
the work Road Commissioner d. T.
Perry thought the time had gone by
for building tar walks which cost 90
cents a yard and last only 10 to IL years.
He wanted to see at least one cement
walk on every street and said that walks
which could be built for $l1O a yard
wuld be sufficiently durable.
on account of the many narrow streets
f. C. Crosby thought new walks ought
not be be laid until the streets had
been widened. His remark opened up
line of discussion that revealed a sur
prising condition of the highway sur
veys. Mr.. Perry said there was no Sec
ton on Elliot street where he could put
in a walk and know that 1t was In the
right place. Attorney II. c. Barber
thought the first thing to do was to
appoint committee TO have every high
way surveyed and marked with granite
clerks office; then the town would be in
a position to know where to place the
walks. He said 1t was due the prop

erty owners to let them know where the
future boundaries were to be and that
there never would be time for doing
the work cheaper than now Henry
Bond of Tyler street, a new conner, said
visitors formed their first impressions by
what they first saw, among them the
sidewalks. He expressed faith in the
growth of Brattleboro and regarded Mr.
BARRIERS idea Of permanent boundaries
as of prime Importance.
w. H. Vinton, a former selectman,
stated that a record Of every street in
town was on file in the town clerks
office, but that the surveys ran to houses,
trees and wooden posts, long since re-
moved. He thought thorough survey
should be. made and permanent boun-
daries established The Skies house,
where Mrs. C. F. Thompson lives. and
the house where w. A. Shumway lives
he. said were the only places existing
which coincide with the original survey
of Main street. c. aB. Crowell, civil en-
gineer, cited instances OF old surveys
which now mean nothing, such as the
line Of the ridgepole of the Revere House
and a certain distance from somebody's
pigsty. On motion of Mr.. Barber 1t was
voted to request the selectmen to insert
in the warrant for the March meeting an
article bringing the subject of street lines
and sidewalks before the voters in a
proper way
The subject of a new village charter
was introduced by Vice President C. L.
Durham, chairman OF the legislation
committee. The first charter. secured in
1882, was amended seven times and the
one secured by Col. Kittredge Haskins
in 1872 has been amended II times,
which shows how the charter has been
outgrown. A new charter should pro-
vide for regulating the erection OF build
ings. sprinkling the streets, licensing
expressed the belief that Brattleboro
would become the largest city in YER
mont H. G. Barber. chairman of the
village bailiffs said there were so highly
important matters which ought to be
regulated by charter. instead of barely
half a dozen. He spoke in particular or
the regulation governing the erection or
buildings. The present law provides for a
fine of $25, which Is entirely insufficient.
Attorney r. w. Gibson told why the
charter revision committee elected In the
town meeting OF 1910 did not carry out
its object. He thought the board should
appoint committee to draft a charter
and present II to the public service COM
mission as provided by a new law and
then have the proceeding tested before
the courts as to its constitutionality.
The idea which finally prevailed was
advanced by Judge A. F. Schwenk, who
favored a short cut by asking the baillffs
to can a special village meeting to APP
point a committee to apply to the public
service commission for a new charter
and to do II at once. Mr.. Gibson and
Mr.. Durham drought that was the best
way. c. r. Crosby thought the village
limits ought to be extended as they are
the same now as In 1882, 1t was con-
sidered best for the board not to carry
out Mr.. Schwenk's idea as an official
bcav. hut to have individuals take 1t up.
