TO REPAIR CHURCH
NOtre Dame to be Made Gothic
Style ON Inside and Rededicated
On 25th Anniversary

Elaborate plans are under way
for the re-decorating of the interior
of Notre Dame church. The plans
are in the hands of McGinnis and
Walsh, architects of Boston, Mass.
Ihe decorating is in charge of the
Locke Decorating Co. of New York.
Father Drouhin has announced
that it is his plan to carry out the
interior decorations in harmony
with the style of the exterior, thus
making it Gothic throughout. In it's
decorating, columns will be intro
duced, in place of the posts which
are now in service. All the wood
work Of the church will be refnish-
ed. A new sanctuary is to be put in
and new vestry built.
Father Drouhin said that it is
expected that the proposed repairs
will cost between $5, 900 and SO 900.
Although the repairs will be made
during the summer, the renovated
church will not be dedicated until
the sixth of January, which is the
25th anniversary of the holding of
the first service in the church.

STRUCK ON CROSSING
S. Marowitz and Children Had Mar
row Escape From Death
Last Sunday.

By the narrowest possible margin
S. Marowitz, his two children,
David and Rosie, and Jacob
Shankier, escaped death on the
Paddock Village crossing Sunday
afternoon when the north bound
air line struck the team in which
they we're riding.
The party had started for St.
Johnsbury Center, but hearing the
train whistle out of the station,
Marowitz, realizing that the horse
was a spirited animal and particular
ly averse to trains, decided to re-
turn and drive up Sand Hill to Main
street. He had go back as far as
the crossing when the alarm bell
started ringing, but the horse in
stead of taking the turn up the
hill, started across the track in the
direction of his stable on Elm street.
This so alarmed the driver that he
pulled up the horse, although there
was time to make the crossing, and
though witnesses urged him to let
the horse go. Unable to turn the
animal and fearing to go ahead it
was apparent to all that they could
not escape being struck by the on
coming train and the involuntary
witnesses turned away to avoid the
gruesome sight. A freight car
which was side tracked near the
crossing, prevented the engine men
seeing the team, until they were
right on the crossing, but Engineer
Corliss, in answer to his firemans
cry, used his emergency brake with
such good effect that the train was
within a cars length, after
they struck the team.
AS soon as they came to a stop
the train crew, passengers. and a
large crowd attracted by the hur-
ried call for brakes, made a survey
Of the scene and were not a little
astonished to find that the only
damage was to the wagon. The
engine struck one of the shafts,
il, and the horse, which
was standing on it's hind feet at

the time, freed itself and ran up the
hill.
Neither Mr.. Marowitz, nor any
of his party have very clear recol-
lections of how they escaped. but
as near as they can recall, David,
who was riding in the rear of the
wagon, jumped, and Shankier threw
Rosie, over the back of the seat. The
two men remained in the wagon and
when the train stopped, Mr.. Maro-
witz and his daughter were lying
against the rail and David was di-
rectly across the rail.
Engineer Corliss was in no way
responsible for the accident and
the manner in which he brought his
train to such sudden stop, not
only excited the admiration of those
who witnessed the act, but without
doubt saved the lives of at least
three of the party.

strated to St. JOhnsbury Sub

The Passumpsic Telephone Com
pany gave an opening to the public
on Saturday afternoon and evening,
June 2Sth.
Invitations had been sent to each
subscriber connected with St. Johns
bury exchange which seemed to
be heartily welcomed by nearly 800
people, who seemed to be very much
interested.
The visitors were taken over the
rooms of the company and the diff
ferent parts of equipment explained
to each and a demonstration of the
calling and signaling explained, and
those who were present had an op-
portunity to see that the telephone
company had arranged for every
possible improvement which would
tend to improve the service as well
as the welfare of the operators,
everything presenting a clean and
orderly appearance and it is need
less to say that no one left the
building without feeling that the
time had been we'll spent.
Any subscribers who were unable
to attend the regular opening will
be welcomed at any time to make
an inspection.
Among those present to assist
were G. A. Brown, general manager
from Newport, and H. E. Robie,
traffic inspector of Springfield, Mass.

ST. JOHNSBURY INVENTION
I'll. w. Randall Has Perfected Nozzle
For Fighting Fires in Partitions

H. w. Randall has invented
special nozzle to be used with chem
ical eXtinguishers for quenching fire
in partitions without damaging the
ceilings. The nozzle has a pointed
circular steel head which can be
thrust through any common or steel
partition and then by sharp pull
backwards a circular spray opened
which will throw the chemical all
about the opening. When the fire
is smothered the nozzle can be with
drawn and the small hole covered
with a patch of paper or filled with
plaster of paris without further dam
age to the partition.
He has applied for a patent and
found his invention is entirely differ
ent from anything now in the patent
Office and no doubt a patent will be
granted.

Special State Tax of 10 Cents Made
1t Impossible To Reduce
Rate This Year.

The adjourned town meeting was
held at two o'clock last Saturday
afternoon and although the attend
ance was small the men present
were much interested in what the
tax rate for the year should be.
After considerable discussion it was
voted to raise a tax of so cents on
the dollar for the support of the
schools, 20 cents for highways and
so cents for the town tax. OF this
latter sum % cents on a dollar must
be paid to the state and this leaves
only 27 cents on a dollar for local
use.
In the absence of the regular mod
orator, John C. Clark was chosen
to serve as chairman of the meet
ing. The first matter to come was
the amount of tax to be raised for
the support of schools. Elisha May
moved that a tax of so cents on a
dollar be raised.
Charles w. Steele, chairman of
the board of school commissioners,
said that it was the duty of the
board to recommend the amount of
tax to be raised and wanted 60
cents on a dollar. He stated that it
would require about $3S,OOO for
the regular expenses of the schools
and they needed this year from
$4,000 to $4,000 extra. For the
equipment of the new school rooms
they would need about $4,000,
some money for grading and Incl
dental expenses connected with the
building of the addition, money to
IL, ~
bonds, to put in new plumbing and
cement floor in the basement of the
Fairbanks school and repairs at
Maple street, grading of the Sum-
mer street playground and cement
work at the Center.
There was quite a general discus
sion of the whole tax needed in which
Elisha May, Mr.. Steele, G. w. Cald-
beck, c. G. Braley, Conrad Beck,
H. H. Carr, James Cosgrove and A.
H. Gleason took part. Mr.. Steele
moved to amend Mr. Mays motion
to make the amount of tax IS cents
on a dollar. This amendment was
voted down and a tax of so cents
voted.
The law requires a highway tax
of 20 cents on a dollar and this was
NOlGu M1luOuL OppOS%LAOAA- n II.
Gleason then moved that the town
tax be SO cents on a dollar and this
was voted.
A. L. Lawrence presented reso-
luton that the town reports be
placed in the hands of the voters
at least seven days before the town
caucus is held, that all the accounts
be itemized so the voters could see
for what the money had been ex-
pended and that the town officers
give an account of their salaries and
expenses in the printed report.
After some discussion it was ruled
that the resolution was out of order.
Charles Weeks stated
that the town officers had made the
reports as the law required but the
law was changed by the last legis-
lature and now the officers accounts
would be included in the town re-
ports.
Would Reduce Village Tax
The opinion was freely expressed
at the meeting that while the special
state tax of 10 cents on a dollar
would not allow any reduction in
the town tax there should be spec
ial village meeting called and the
village tax of so cents on dollar
be reduced about 20 cents.

THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

This phrase Is attached In the minds
OF many people to campaigns of senti-
mentality, in which burdensome addi-
tions to the tax rate are made on the
plea Of a beauty that proves costly.
Nevertheless, in more places than
ever thefore the advent. of the spring
season is seeing movements for clean
or back yards, prizes for good gardening
and disposition of eyesores.
A business man wears good clothes
because no wants. to give an impress
sion OF neatness. and c A town
that allows its streets to be Uttered
with waste, paper and its back yards
with ash barrels looks like q town
that is having a hard time to keen nm
