FOOD VALUE OF
VERMONT FISH
A Single Lake Yields $4,000
Worth in Season.

In his report just issued, a portion
OF which has been published by the
Journal, j.. w Titcomb, fish and
game commissioner, says -
"The average citizen does not real
ize the tremendous commercial value
of the fish annually taken from the
waters of Vermont by angling. Very
reliable reports indicate that as many
as six tons of trout and salmon were
in one year taken from Caspian Lake
by legal methods The value of
these fish, based on the average net
price Of commercial dealers in trout
is $4,000 and it is probable that for
every pound of trout taken the aver
age cost TO the angler would be 10
times as much. This is only one Of
the lakes Of Vermont.
During the open season probably
every stream in Vermont is daily
fished by one or more anglers and
the same may be said Of almost every
pond or lake although the average
number Of fishermen to the latter il
greater"

Town Votes for Four-room
School Building.

After long and tiresome discus
siou in which a dozen or so voters
took part with voice and gesture the
town meeting held last Saturday
authorized the school directors to go
ahead and add second story to the
school building now being erected
The subject was discussed brick by
brick, stone by stone, from founda-
ton to shingles, and then was settled
satisfactorily to our progressive
citizens.
Regardless of expense, bat with
praiseworthy confidence in the dis
erection of the directors. the voters.
tired of talk, placed no limit on the
appropriation for completing the
structure.
j. S. Eaton, moderator, called the
meeting to order and read the warn
ing.
H. w. johnson promptly offered
resolution authorizing the addition
Of second story to the new school
building, to be left unfinished.
j.. j. Bourbon renewed time
honored discussion by asking if
there wasn't school room enough
now, and A. b. Wilder, Of the school
board, explained the situation, say
ing that they could get along with
the one-story building, but more
room could be utilized profitably.
e. FL. Williams, jr., clerk of the
board, thought the unfinished story
proposition was good deal like put
ting a hungry mau down to boun-
tiful table but not allowing him to
eat. He spoke of the needs of the
various departments and urged that
two-story building be completed
at once.

F. Fl Reed, s. R. Kelly. G. M. White,

G.. E. Raymond offered an amend
ment to Mr.. Johnson's resolution,
| providing for the completion of the
building at the discretion of the
directors.
Col. r. S. Billings favored finish
ing the Job now.
The estimated cost of the second
story completed is $1,000; unfinished
| it would be about $4,000 less.
An amended resolution, providing
for ready-to-use four-room build
ing, then went through with
out dissenting voice.
The meeting voted quite as cheer
fully for the relief of Taftsville after
some speechmaking.
/ 1. B. Gilbert offered resolution
authorizing the selectmen to build q

The first word of Secretary Fish
c's intended cooperation with cities
and towns in the extension Of
m1nieipal ownership of utilities ana
public necessities was in his letter
to Congress recommending that it
give $40 acres of coal land TO tle
city Of Grand Junction, Colo TO
rake this possible he withdrew the
$40 acres in question from public
entry.
Secretary Fisher said he favored
cities owning their water supply
systems, their power plants and
their coal mines, in the order in
which these are given. He regards
the ownership Of water supply sys-
TENS as the most important, te-
cause of their bearing ON the health
Of the people.
1t is not likely that the Secretary
will take any formal action on the
subject. His statement was merely
by way Of announcement that cities
may apply for water sites and the

has jurisdiction over the public
