Bedding. March PA recent test of the s50 feet artesian well sunk last fall by Mrs. Marietta F.. Hill on the lot near the Center Methodist church which she bought for a building site showed a yield of a gallon and a half per minute. This she judged suffi- cient for a supply and accordingly de- cided to proceed with her buildine plans which had been ill abeyance. The house which is to cost about s1e.00o, will be put up by Builder Eu- gene Adams, operations being com- nenced sometime next month. The material will be wood
 While our roads were severely wash ed and in places deeply guIlied by the late rains no bridges were carried away and there was less total damage than that suffered by neighboring towns and less than has been done here by freshets in some recent years. Still between mud and ruts the going is very difficult and it will cost a considerable sum to repair the dam age.

 In last Thursdays Farmer Secre- tary Plump comes to the defence of his bantling, the report of the local good roads committee, although his statement might more correctly be termed a demurrer than defence in- asmuch as he does not attempt to controvert any Of the specific criti- cisns to which the report has, been subjected. In view of the fact. that summary of the report was pub lished by this paper several weeks ago and therefore obtained wide cir culation through the town. his as- sumption that the alleged adverse comment by the public must be imag- mary has no good foundation. Neith- CT does the fact that fourteen of the sixteen members of the cOmmittee signed the report necessarily give the document the stamp of merit and sig nifty as much in it's favor Mr. Plump seems to suppose. It is known that no general meeting of the com- mittee was ever held and that the re- port was the sole production of the Protective Leagues secretary, except for the active co-opera tion supposed to have been given by one other mem- her. One member refused to sign gave convincing reasons for his re. fusal and another member who signed hastily withdrew his approval after careful reading of the document.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-03-21

How many others signed through good nature and without due considera tion your correspondent cannot undertake to say. We are all familiar with the presumably we'll founded tradition about the intelligent citizen who sign ed a petition praying that he be hung, consisned to life Imprisonment Or sub Jected to some equally unpleasa mt doom, and also with the story about the other intelligent citizen who, through an excess of caution, refused to buy genuine gold eagles for 25
 cents each. It does not follow that the petition signers are to be class. ed with the former citizen If so clas- sified, however, that would assert good reason for the assumption that everything must be all right because the report proceeded from a source entitled to the fullest degree of re. spect and confidence And in this they would be entirely right as far
 as MT. Pumps good intentions and his general record as the Leagues secretary is concerned. Indeed his labors for the public welfare have been so jealous, efficient and unset. fish that to disagree with him in any particular is unpleasant and seeming ly ungracious.
 The writer and many others find it fatally defective because, while lay ing out plan of work for road bet terments, it neglected to provide the ! executive directive force by which alone these things could be carried into effect The source from which the plans were evidently drawn is a ooklet issued by the road depart nent of New York State to town road superintendents. Here the same in. structions miss their mark because there is no town road superintendent to carry them out. The fact that such eforms have not been accomplished With a century and a half experience with the present system removes all round for reasonable expectation of improvement in this respect while the same system remains unchanged. Tn eddition to this fault of omission, the 'eport has the positive fault of sub. 1 ordinating all other issues pertaining | to the project for better roads gener- fly to the scheme of concentra ting | effort on the two cross town roads 1 connecting the Ridge with West Red- | ding and Georgetown. thereby induc. l ing travel and traffic over routes | that are unattra ctive less on account l of defective road beds than by reason | of grades which practically admit of | no correction.
 However. Mir. Plump should not he | disquieted over criticism which he l ieems prejudiced and unfair. If his plan has real merit it will have cor | esponding vitality and cannot be | Filled by misrepresentation and un- 4ounued aspersion. Nevertheless the
 writer repeats that in his opinion the report is already as dead as a pickled herring but that the good roads cause locally speaking, remains very much i alive.

this editorial comment: Sir Edward
Clarke's report on the London dock
strike is substantially a vindication of
