which they recently suffered. The letter
was referred to the clerk for acknowledge

council had done anything toward i'm
proving the lighting and street condi-
lions on Fairview street. The question
was referred to the street and lighting
committees. The message from the two
women led TO a general discussion of
conditions on North Main street and a
motion made by Alderman Bancroft, and
carried unanimously. Instructed the clerk
to ask the Consolidated Lighting Co.
to establish a street light near the Ho
tel Northern.
Appearing for Carlo Lorenzini, Au-
gustus Rossi asked that water eonnec-
tions be extepded to the mans recently
completed dwelling house on Garfield
avenue. The request was referred to
the water committee. Building permits

ports from the building inspector in the
following cases: A. H. Bugzell, TO build
underpass between Hotels Buzzell and
OTIS A. Tomasi, TO remodel roof at 10
Merchant street Theodore Desurreau, to
repair house at q Central street; NJ. II.

he sent in his bid for the paving con
tract on North Main street. The re-
port was accepted and the recommended
tons ordered carried out.

GOV. FLETcHERs EXPLANATION.

GOV. FLETCHER'S EXPLANATION.
Gov. Fletcher's explanation of the re-
moval of Chairman Charles d. Watson
from the public service commission and
of the forced resignation of Commission
er George II. Babbitt did not clarity a
dark situation TO any extent on the
contrary, the statement by him is an
admission that the recommendation by
commission to issue an order reducing
telephone rates in Vermont was made
after failure to secure desired informa
tion concerning the telephone company.
Here are Gov. Fletcher's own words,
made to a newspaper man last night;
up to the present time, the state
has not been signally successful in Sc
curing this information, though all our
steps have been directed toward secur-
ing the facts involving the interests of
the people of Vermont"
In other words, Gov. Fletcher had
heard that the company was charging
or was about to charge, exorbitant rates.
so he started an investigation (which,
of course, was proper and according to
his dutyl; the investigation failed to
reveal the desired information about the
eompany's internal affairs to substan-
tate the theory that the rates were I'M
called for, yet the special counsel on the
short information at hand made urgent
appeal to the public service commission
to punish the company. A verdict of
guilty was demanded even though the
charge had not been proven
But the jury, which happened to be a
collarless public service commission, re-
fused to declare verdict Of guilty with
out first hearing the case. II is to be
hoped. too. that the next public service
commission will refuse to render a YER
diet until such time as it has given a
thorough and fair hearing TO both sides
Of the case. The people Of Vermont, al
though they may feel oppressed by tele-
phone rates, prefer the latter course Of
procedure, in justice TO all concerned.

The Alley Problem.

No more important work can he
undertaken than the redemption OF
the alleys and courts of this city,
which are now moral and physical
fostering places. The enterprise OF
the women who have become active
In this matter, enlisting the interest
Of the wife of the president, has Just
led TO an awakening to lts Importance
! by members Of congress, some OF
whom have personally visited these
slums and there witnessed the de
moralization caused by close herdins
in insanitary dwellings.
Two projects are Immediately out
lined for early undertaking similaI
TO that Just entering the final stage
at Willow Tree alley. These embrace
tho transformation of two OF the
courts or parks-go alley and
SHOWS court. These are typical
cages, and in their present condition
they cannot fail 60 shock any visitor
who inspects them with an eye open
to the possibilities for the moral and
physical infection which these con
dluons create. Their elimination
must appear to any observer as an
urgent necessity for the sake Of the
city's health ,s.
But the problem is not solved by
the wping out Of these alley sluma
as is being done in tn case Of VIII
low Tree alley. These places are
81, l.. IA IVs... Of L..
who find there cheap dwellings, with
in their means. II the alleys are
transformed into interior parks and
Fairgrounds ana no better places are
provided, whero can these people go
save into other alleys? They must
live somewhere, and cheaply, and II
is lust as important that homes be
provided for them as that the slums
be cured. So In this connection the
project of constructing decent sani-
tary dwellings for the present dwell
lcrs I'm the alleys and courts must
proceed simultaneously. This can be
placed uucu commercial basis not
philanthropic.
II is p,ss,ule to erect and maintain
dwellings for thr poor that meet all
the requirements of sanitation and
holcsomo living and rent them al
rates which yield a fair return upon
the investment. It is a well known
fact that alley property brings the
largest return Of all real estate ven
lures, and this fact has checked the
city's development along the line OF
slum elimination. Those who are
content with return Of 8 per cent
for small house construction are to
be rated as benefactors rather than
Investors, and it is to be hoped that
In connection with the present cru
sade against the alley slums In the
district there will be n disposition
on the part OF the business men OF
the city to finance large enterprise
giving TO the dwellers I'm these places
clean and wholesome housings else
where, doing on n larger scale the
work that has been heretofore done
here along this line.

climate, are rarely, ii ever, hereditary !;
they appear under certain conditions,
but when these conditions are altered
the variations disappear. Variations
which appear as the result of crossing
are much more frequently hereditary
than characters produced by the
action of external conditions; more
over, they can generally be increased
by selection. When attempting to
develop a new race of any kind of
plant it is therefore important that
the modification taken as a basis
upon which the selective process is
carried out, should not have arisen
merely as the result of external con-
ditions.' AS a rule bud-variatiOnS
are not the result of environment. If
a single bud on peach tree produces
a limb bearing nectarines and all the
others produce peaches we can not
reasonably charge the variation to
environment for that is the same for
all of the tree. Here is a real sport.
Budding or grating from that one
will most likely produce nectarines,
for we are but perpetuating that one
limb on other trees. If one limb on
a Winesap apple tree bears apples
which are longer than those on the
other limbs, here is a sport and it
may be perpetuated., Whether it can
be perpetuated by graftage can be de-
termined only by trying it. If it re-
