ing gained information and new
ideas. and very often has Impaired
knowledge to those with whom he
has come In contact The object OF
the dinner and the meetings was 10
devise ways TO improve our roads,
and to aid the farmer in securing a
| better market for his products. Al
so 10 make our towns and villages
! more attractive for summer visitors.
| As 10 the roads, Dorset is fortunate
in having a road master who takes
an interest in his work, and as a
result our roads will compare very
favorably with other towns, At the
| same time there is much room for
| Improvement and we know 1t VIII
| come In time. A better market for
oru farmers, and our experience Is,
that their market is all that could
be desired in Dorset. as We pay
more here for produce than in the
city, or in fact. in towns like Gran
vile, Bennington. or Rutland. and
all that our farmers have produced
up TO the present, has found
ready market among our summer
population and In Manchester In
creaslng the summer business Is an
other item OF vital interest to all
I'm this section as Dorset Is very
popular with city residents and how
10 meet the demand for aecommoda-
tons and have people satisfied TO
such an extent that they will re-
turn and bring their friends Is the
most important question for Dorset
| to solve. Dorset does not expect to
| get as many visitors as Manchester
or as good prices. FOR she has not
the modern improvements to offer.
| neither has she the same style OF
accommodations. but Dorset has just
as good scenery, water, and air, and
| by Get to- gether" movement can,
| In time, bring her accommodations
up TO a point where she can draw
to her doors the very best class
OF tourists. The new water sys-
TEN was one OF the steps. and now
| that that has been accomplished do
not walt to see what Will happen,
but take another step and secure
larger hotel for the transient public,
Form village improvement society
and clean up the streets, repair the
| sidewalks where necessary, and per-
suade the negligent house owners
| TO tidy up their lawns and paint
their houses and out-buildings. In
| siy that the village officers do
their duty, and keep our streets free
! OF disorderly characters so that our
| visitors will not be afraid to walk
out after dark or even go to the
stores In the day time The above
arc few of the things that must
be thought of II the town Is to be-
| come prosperous and increase its
| business One or two persons can
no, secure the changes or the i'm
provements. 1t must be by all get
ting together and working for the
same end to make Dorset a clean
,as well as healthy attractive sum

| the meetings aa Bennington last

ty We hope that the County Will
wake up and improve Its opportuni-
tieas. and that another year viii
find Dorset In the lead for road
improvements and general attractive

our road commissioner can win that
gold watch which was offered as a
prize to the town showing the best
results for 1912 in road work
