The agitation in favor of improving
the main roads into Bennington is
going forward better even than was
hoped for. ]. c. Colgate, who last
year did work on the main road in
the west part of the town at his own
expense to the amount of nearly
$4,000 has just been awarded back
from the state the sum of $3.50 and
offers to loan this money to the town
for year without interest to help
make up the $4,000 needed to meet
the states offer so that it will be
necessary to borrow only 1920. 1t
is thought by those most competent
to judge that it will be better to Dor
row the money for a year and thus
avoid levying a special tax which
would involve the extra expense of
making out a new bill. In addition
Mr.. Colgate states that when this
money is finally paid back to him
he will Immediately put it into ad-
ditional road work for the town.
Thus it can be seen that the town is
in the way of getting $3.50 to go
with It's investment of $4,000. Nor
is this all. The summer residents
of Old Bennington have raised a
thousand dollars by private subscrip-
ton which they will use in improv
ing the road from the schoolhouse in
the Moses Wilson district to Town
hill and the residents of North Ben
nington including Gov. McCul-
Tough and F. b. Jennings have rails
ed $500 more which will be get by
another $500 from the state for road
work in that section. 1t can thus
be seen that Bennington has now the
greatest chance it has ever had to
improve the main roads of the town if
the voters will approve of the tenn
porary borrowing of $4,000. If this
is done the other funds that will be-
come available will amount to 1880,
or almost twice as much more than
the town is asked to put in. 1t does
not seem possible than any voter
can seriously object to taking ad-
vantage of such a good opportunity
in behalf of Bennington.

DROP CLOSE
GAME IN SOUTH RIVER

With a majority OF senior players
in their ranks, the South River
Juniors defeated the Xaviers, of this
city, in a speedy basketball tussle by
a % to q score. The game was a
thriller throughout every minute of
play and the feature of the attrac-
ton was the performance OF Austin
Hornsby, who jumped at the pivot
against the speedy Charley Crabiel,
of Crescent fame. In the first period
of the struggle Hornsby practically
ran away from Crabiel, scoring
three field goals while his elder OPP
ponent was not scoring a point. His
floor work vas also admirable. How
ever, In the second spasm the Mill
town lad made his usual wonderful
shots, although a greater number
than ordinarily. Five field goals
were chalked to his credit in the last
half while Hornsby could not get
one. Hornsby's work was commend
ed by all.
