Editor Of The Reformer
| wish to call to the attention Of the
citizens Of Brattleboro the condition OF
Vernon street below the Riley turn. A
year ago for several days it was mpas-
sable on account of being covered by two
feet OF water for distance Of several
hundred feet, and was mudhole througll-
out the spring A repetition Of this year
N is in order unless the responsibility be
Immediately placed and the proper par
ties compelled to take action at once.
Logically this i the time Tor action. In
the first place. the railroad contractors
are practically on the spot, removing
earth that could be used for filling by eX-
tending the track from where they are
now excavating. and few days dump
ings would raise the road to the required
height agreed upon when the Judge heirs
enioned further filling. after the Con
necticut River Power CO. had already
filed three feet.
If it was a proposition that could be
delayed few years that would be an
other thing hut it must be filed within
year and if this opportunity i not
taken advantage of it viii be necessary
to use dozens Of teams, drawing earth a
mile and half, and require weeks % ae-
cUmplish the same, at an expense Of sev-
cral thousand dollars.
The town should vote TO have this
work executed Immediately and if others
are responsible il j. the towns business
to proceed and collect from such parties
their share of expense
There are 30 taxpayers who work be
low this point and they cannot reach
their labors Via Vernon street in the
spring months. a. was demonstrated last
year
The Brattleboro Water Works Co can
not bury it, pipe on account of the water
soaked condition of the street and the
pipe Is Land on the surface If this Is not
corrected within go days the water will
have to be turned of. giving that section
of the town no water protection and sub
iecting the town to a liability in case OF
FIRE
We are going to have fine entrance
into Brattleboro via Vernon street. but
t. effect VIII he gone unless the section
eferred to Is widened and elevated
1t might be well to call attention L
another matter. namely. that some actor
should he taken to remove the two house,
remaining on the Upper Patch They
VIII mar the whole street and certainly

that matters could be adjusted easily
To bring this matter to an immediate

land Company Principal Witness
at Hearing Yesterday

MONTPELIER, Oct a. The pub

ephone inquiry Yesterday afternoon
with Vice-President E. k Hall of the

three elements of use. cost and value
that are considered in making up any
telephone rate and went into de-
tailed explanation Of the various
groups of rates ami Of why a busi-
ness rate is higher than residence
rate.
One purpose Of the new rates put
m about year ago was to cut down
the number OF multi-partv users. that
IS, lines with more than six or 10 par
ties thereon, in order to better the
service as 4 whole, by reducing the
number Of line busy reports.
As Indicated the approval in Yer
mont Of these new rates. ne said that
4 the number of ouc-party subscribers
had increased from 1913 per cent TO
l5.4 per cent the number of twO.partv
/ subscribers had increased from 20.5
per cent to 3S.5 per cent. while the
ultiparty lines had decreased from
61.2 per cent to 4G.l per cent. To show
the actual effect of these new rates.
he quoted the reductions i'm typical
places

party residence rate was reduced from
$50 to So the two-party residence.
from SO to S2l, and the six-party
residence, from ~2l to 0lS

@25 to S2l.
Mr.. Hall said the standard group
rates were being applied throughout
the territory a> fast a. plant and traf
tic conditions would permit and that
when applied to the subsidiary com
pauies ii would make reductions I'm the
Onc-party residence and two-party
business rates at Fairfield, III the ii,

Pins were in existence, no doubt, in
prehistoric times, and have been un-

were introduced into England from
France about 1540. and were being
made in that country three years later.

All Might Have Been Saved.

As vet information is lacking as to
how the fire originated. There is some
discrepancy in the stories with regard
TO the behavior of the crew. but ii is
significant that OF the crew numbering
% it is reported that IS pcrished
while most Of the officers remained
aboard and were eventually rescued
What issues clearly from all the mar
ratiyes is that practically nil the lives
lost were sacrificed in attempts to
launch the boats before the arrival of
the other steamers and that bad Capt.
Inch known so much help would be
forthcoming practically all might have
been saved.
