Washington School Building Finished

A. II. HARRISON was over from
Nicely Saturday, coming as the agent
for Urey, the contractor, to take
possession of the Washington Con-
solidated school bonds, which were
traded that party for erecting the
building. Principal Newton James
was along representing the school
trustees and Treasurer Jno. ID. Iur-
ner acted as the countys fiscal man
in the deal We assume this will
mean the turning over OF the build
ing, which is complete, right away
for occupancy. Those people out
there deserve praise for their persis-
tency in securing such nice new
commodious school building.
In most of the counties the new
law whereby supplies for road work
ing crews are adver tised for. is being
complied with, but in others this
seems to escape the atten ton of the
supervisors. The object of such law
is to secure such commodities not at
cut-throat prices but at fair Compel
tive prices and to prevent favorit-
ism by the board or road boss. A
mong such items we particularly no.
tice corn, hav, oats, lumber for
bridges, culverts etc. OF course If
|such supplies can be procured as eco
nomically without advertising as
with it, and the favoritism is kept
down and an equal chance given to
merchants and farmers, all is we'll,
but if not the cost of advertising
would be a good investment and in
obedience to written law.

The Dillingham; Rally.

The opera hall was filled Saturday
evening when Senator Dillingham; held
a political rally there. There were
automobile parties from Lowell. Iras-
burg, Barton and Newport. the speaker
of the evening being Senator billing
ham. The senator was introduced by
H. J. Stannard of Barton and made an
exceptionally well-received address,
admitting all that has been quoted
from the Congressional Record, but IN
each and every case giving his reasons
for his vote in the matter. Whatever
else may be said of Senator Dilling-
ham, no one could have listened to his
address and not believe him to be per-
fectly sincere, nor could they for one
moment believe that his interest IN
the matters and questions were other
than belief that in his votes he had
voted for the interests Of the state OF
Vermont.
