AS TO WATER BARS
Census of Those on the Main Road
and Abolition Urged.

Few people appreciate the fact that
the County Supervisor d. T. Bates
has removed or reduced over so
water bars between Pownal and the
Rutland county line on the main
highway.
There are yet seven water bars be-
tween Pownal and the Bennington
Pownal line. From Bennington-Pow-
nal line to the Putnam house there
are four; from the Putnam house to
the SALISBURY line there are two via
North Bennington or twenty-four via
Harwood HILL
From the Bennington-Sh SALISBURY
line to the Shaftsbury-Arlington line
there are thirty-seven water bars.
From the Salisbury Arlington line
to Arlington village there are ten
water bars.
From Arlington village to the Ar
lington-Sunderland line there are
three water bars.
From the Arlington-Sunderland line
to sthe Sunderland Manchester line
there are four water bars.
From the Sunderland-Ma Manchester
line to Manchester village there are
none.
Through Manchester village there
are four water bars.
From the village line to the Man
chester-East Dorset line theer are
four water bars.
From the Manchester-East Dorset
line to the Rutland county line via
North Dorset there are four water
bars
There are therefore one hundred
and three water bars between Pownal
and Rutland county line yet remain.

The worst bars are in Sunderland
and Arlington and the easiest in
Manchester. Next to Peru toll road
SALISBURY has the most water bars
Fred Bourne, the Manchester road
commissioner, has shown they are un.
necessary by having none between
Sunderland and the village and this
hill is as hard to handle as any in
the county. Several road commits
sioners have been taken over this
section so they could see what the
Manchester road-man had done. II
sixty water bars can be wiped out
in three months, then the rest can be
wiped out before snow flies.

About 400 weavers in mill No. of
the Berkshire cotton manufacturing
company of Adams walked out of the
mill yesterday morning. Their griev
ance was that there were four weav-
ers in the shop who did not belong to
the weavers union, and therefore
they could not work together. The
mill officials said that they did not
wish to dictate to any of their en-
ployes whether they did or did not
belong to union.
The mill No. weavers remained
out all day, and last night had mass
meeting. All the weavers in mills

weavers in their hall on Spring street
and voted to remain out in sympathy
this morning. This means that about
1900 weavers will be out in all, and
it may mean the shutting of the foul
mills in which over 1000 hands are
employed.
For some little time there has been
unrest in the weavers' union and the
climax was reached yesterday. II
seems like a trivial matter, and
though the weavers say they are de
termined to make a union shop of the
plant, it is hoped that the trouble
will soon be over. The Berkshire

which William B. Plunkett and Chas
