scented to the court aforesaid. for pro-
bate.

tinued. The department has responded
to IL bell alarms and is still alarms dur
ing the year.
THE hook and ladder truck is not in
good repair and is hardly At for service
and 1 recommend that new one be
purchased to replace 1t. The other APP
paratus connected with the department
is In good condition and ready for i'm
mediate use"
The buildings are in good state of re-
pair, except the hook and ladder house,
which should be painted on the outside.
The improved fire alarm system has
given excellent satisfaction and is in
good working order. few more new
boxes should be installed.
There are ITO MIGRANTS distributed
throughout the village. A very few need
slight repairing. The reservoirs are in
good condition.
In conclusion Chief Sanders SAYS: "I
desire to impress upon the voters the
necessity Of locating a fire station or
hose house in the vicinity of South Main
street near Pine street. That section of
the village Is not sufficiently protected.
Should a station be erected at the point
above suggested, the department could
render more efficient service to resi-
dents living in that section of the viii
lage than could possibly be rendered
under the present conditions
1.-THE aggregate amount of losses dur
ing the year has been s3,544.S6, as APP
pears by the record on the following
page: the losses as responded to bell
alarms, s3.503.81; the losses as respond
ed to still alarms, $41.05."
Superintendent Of Fire Alarm.
Joseph e. Brockington, superintendent
Of the fire alarm, reports building new
line to the Brattleboro Cabinet company,
from Washington street to Fort Dummer
Heights, thence across the Fort Drummer
Mills property, on account of changes in
the telephone company's pole line on
Vernon street; removing the mechanical
transmtter from the telephone office and
placing 1t in the central fire station;
placing underground the wires to the
! Baptist church bell; and he suggests
! that two new boxes be bought and that
one or two be relocated near the bust
| ness section.

c. o. Whitman Offers $50 for Potatoes
to Be Exhibited at the Next Valley
Fair-Terms Of the Competition.

Editor Of The Phoenix:
Dear Sir:-I have had in mind for
some time the offering of some incentive
to the young people of the Valley fair
to interest them in things agricultural
and have decided to put the PROPOSE
ton up to them to help me get to-
gether the finest exhibit of potatoes
Vermont has ever seen. We can do it
If all take hold and the Valley Fair as
ISOLATION will give us table room.
l will give for the best exhibit Of
three varieties of potatoes, five samples
Of each kind, first $40, second IS; to
the youngest exhibitor IS.
This competition is open to any boy
or girl under 81 years of age anywhere
within reach of the Valley fair. l wish
to meet each exhibitor on one Of the
three days of the fair, not necessarily
all the same day, though that would be
fine. / limit the exhibit to three kinds
to make 1t easy for any boy or girl to
compete The selection of varieties is to
be optional with the competitor, and the
choice OF samples also to be according
to the good judgment of the exhibitor.
The judges must be satisfied, that is ALL
1 want for judges Mr.. and Mrs. ]. H.
Ware. Mr.. and Mrs. H. C. Rice, Mr..
and Mrs. c. S. Hopkins, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. E. Hubbard.
i hS po'otocS cAHipiteu are " peColiie
mine after the fair. l have an am
bition to be the owner of the finest col
lection Of potatoes ever brought to-
gether
One or two suggestions may help.
That ire boy or girl who raises the po-
tatoes have some definite purpose in
disposing of the crop, ask father to let
you have half or whole of what you
raise and then have them to sell for the
table or for seed.
l know there is a wide market for
potatoes from Vermont, also that seed
potatoes grown under the shadow of the
Green Mountains have a reputation with
potato growers everywhere. Get ahead
