CALL SPECIAL MEETING.
Twenty-seven Voters Want to Undo
the Work Of the Regular !.
Meeting.

A petition signed by 81 legal
voters of the village has been pre-
sented to the village clerk for a
special village meeting to see if the
voters will rescind the action taken
at the regular village meeting ap-
propriating $500 Tor band concerts
by the St. Johnsbury band and if
they do rescind to see what action
they will take in regard to the band
concerts, also to see if the officers
will Fescind the vote taken at the
regular meeting authorizing the
trustees to purchase an auto fire
truck. In accordance with this pc
titiOn the village clerk, P. e. May,
has issued a warning for a special
village meeting to be held Friday
evening, Feb. 10, at 7.3O.
The vote on the purchase of an
automobile fire truck was taken
after due notice in the warning for
the annual meeting and was carried
by very large majority. Some OPP
position was shown against the pur-
chase of an auto fire truck, but it
was very small. The object, appaI-
emily of calling this special meeting
is to refuse to furnish the fremen
with better apparatus for fighting
fires than the village has had for
the past 20 years. The voters who
desire progress should be on hand
in case they desire to secure this
authorized Improvement
AS the Trustees See 1t.
At the meeting of the trustees
Monday evening the vote of the cit
izens in the annual meeting was dis
cussed. The trustees say while they
wish to act in accordance with the
wishes of the voters they are not in
favor of operating an automobile
fire truck by volunteer forces or
with men that can be furnished with
particular truck in case of fire.
They believe that if the truck is to
be purchased it should be operated
with not less than two paid fire.
men.
So far as the voters are able to
understand there is nothing in the
vote taken at the regular meeting
that will prevent the trustees from
organizing and managing the fire
department the same as they have
in the past.
Changes at the Police Office.
Following the village meeting last
Wednesday, Oliver Hall, who has
been for the past three years Chief
of Police rendered his resignation
and it was accepted. The trustees
Immediately appointed John Finley,
who has been a regular policeman
for the last two years and is very
popular among the police officials, as
chief. Harry Marden was reap
pointed and Fred Campbell, who
has been special policeman was ap-
pointed a regular one.
Extensive repairs will be made at
the police station. Linoleum is to
be placed on the floor, the telephon-
IS re-arranged and a blue light is !
to be placed over the door which is
n accordance with all police sta
lions throughout the country.

YEGGMAN TO PRISON.
Nevada Mike" Gets Four Years
at Windsor. County Court
Grants Divorces.

Caledonia county court recon
vened again Monday after a few
weeks recess. At the opening
States Attorney Robert w. Simonds
had his latest catch in the line of
yeggmen brought before the court.
The ''yegg'' was Richard Monohan,
alias Silas Hobbs, alias Nevada
Mike, alias Nevada Reno. Mono
hans record is one of daring theft
and adventure. On being arraigned
Monohan pleaded guilty to the
charge against him and was sentenc-
ed to serve a term in States prison
at Windsor of not less than four
nor more than. five years. In pro-
nouncing the sentence Judge Miles
remarked that the sentence was
somewhat lighter than it would have
been if free from outside circum-
stances, which are interpreted to
mean that he is wanted by other au-
thorities when Vermont gets
through with him.
William Kibby of Barnet was also
brought in for cruelty to animals.
He was admitted to bail fixed at
$500 He is rather an inoffen-
sive man, but alleged to be sub
ject to the morphine habit and
when under the spell of that drug
he neglected his horse and did not
provide it with proper food and
drink.
More Divorce Cases.
Alvah Gilson was divorced from
Mary e. ellison of Burke on the
ground of wilful desertion.
Minnie o. Patch v. Walter d.
Patch was tried and the petition dis
missed. 1t is understood that it was
dismissed for want of proper juris-
diction. Exceptions were allowed
and it will doubtless be decided by
the supreme court. Walter A Dut-
ton appeared for the petitioner.
Mamie McCosco was divorced
from Basil McCosco on the ground
of wilfuI desgrtion Further hear
ing was had in the case of Raymond
Walton v. Flora Walton. Divorce
was finally decreed on the ground
of intolerable severity.
Mary E. Cross was divorced from
Leonard A. Cross, both from st.
Johnsbury, on the ground of intol
have the care and custody of the
minor child and alimony as per
order.
Earl G.. Batchelder of Lyndon
vile was divorced from Cora Batch
elder on the ground of wilful deser-
tion.
Adjournment will take place be-
fore the end of the week.

SCHOOL MONEY HELD UP.
Defect in Law Will Not Allow St
Johnsbury to Draw Money For
AH-oroo6 T,,e&.,.,o4:o,,
Advanced instruction.

advanced lnSCfucClOn.
st. Johnsbury will not draw its
money from the state treasury for
advanced instruction this year as it
has done in the past. This money
last year amounted to $1,7S5.90
and it is supposed about the same
amount would be due this year. The
following letter from State Super
intendent M. S. Stone to Village
Treasurer G. G. Braley tells all the
local officers know of the situation.
12-3O-1911.
Mr.. Charles G. Braley,
st. Johnsbury, VT.
Dear Sir:
In response to yours of the 28th
inst, l regret to state that rebates
for advanced instruction will not be
paid this year on account of a SER
ious ambiguity in the school law
as passed by the last General As
sembly. 1t is very evident that the
intent was all right, but when
certain bill which originated in
the Senate went to the House, the
House cut out certain section, be-
cause the House had already pass
ed another bill Incorporating the
section, and so vitiated the bill rela-
tive to rebate for advanced instruc-
ton. In the bill which went to the
House a section had been inserted
in the Senate whereby the section
pertaining to rebates should be re-
pealed. rhis was inserted on ac-
count of the same bill having az
amended section governing re-
bates and it was this amended sec
tion that the House cut out as they
passed a bill Incorporating the
same features. The Secretary of
Civil and Military affairs found
some decision of the Supreme Court
whereby he felt the measure was all
right, but, as the Attorney General
is inclined to a different opinion, on
account of the ambiguity of the law
the auditor does not feel warranted /
in drawing his orders. The matter
could very easily be settled if some
town thru it's school board would /
bring pro forma case before the
Supreme sCourt.
[ remain,
Trusting this may be satisfactory,
Very truly yours,
