Several inches of fresh snow last
evening renewed. the supply in this Vi
entity. Bennington has more snow at
the present time than any OF the 9TH
er larger towns OF the state, except |
Brattleboro. In Burlington and vici- |
nifty traffic is all on wheels. II would !
be a great aid to people who have to |
walk If property owners would help |
the village a little in keeping the !
walks clear. After the snow-plow
goes along little raking after with |
2 shovel is good thing and folks |
ought to DO that much at least in |
front of their own homes. Then, too. |
when the snow thaws and forms |
pools of water on the sidewalk, these |
pools should be drained into the gut |
ter so that children, women and men !
can pass along without getting their
feet wet \ little public spirit and
elbowgrease would be appreciated by
the great walking public.
