the ground comes back to man after

FAVOR ALLOWANCE
FOR CHILDRENAT 10
NutIey Public School Auxiliary
Would Have Youngsters Keep
Record of Expenditures.

In discussion on when Should a
Child Receive an Allowance" the
members of the Public School Auxil-
larry of NutIey yesterday afternoon,
at a meeting in the Park School, ar
rived at the conclusion that when
child is ten years old he or she
should be given a sum of money for
spending purposes and be allowed to
use it as desired. The members. how
ever, would compel the child to keep
record of now and where the
money was spent.
Mrs. Gilbert r. Livingston averred
that such a method was used by her
for her own children, and she found
it an. excellent way of teaching the
children the value of money.
The auxiliary has been accustomed
to advance Sis each year to carry
on the work Of the penny proyident
always returned at the end of the
school year, as it is merely work
ing capital. When the provident
fund was started some years ago
this amount was raised by subscrip-
ton, The fund has lately been taken
over by the Board of Education, and
consequently the auxiliary has Sis
on hand.
Several opinions as to how this
should be used were expressed yes
terday. Some favored making a gift
to the public library. Others thought
books should be bought for the
school, while its use for charity was
also suggested. No agreement could
be reached 50 the matter was put
over until next meeting.

TO ENLARGE PLANT
Swift and Co. To Increase Their
Storage Capacity For Meat
New Refrigeration.

Swift e. Company are about to
greatly increase the capacity and eff
cheney of their local plant to keep
pace with their increasing business.
An addition will be made on the
west side of their building at the cor
ner of Eastern avenue and Bay street,
and the interior will be completely
repaired and renovated.
Ice will on longer be used as a
means of refrigeration, but will be
displaced by modern refrigerating
machinery. While this method of
refrigeration is more expensive than
ice, IL is much more efficient and re-
liable, and lower temperatures can be
maintained in hot weather than are
possible with ice. Under the present
arrangement one large room in this
building Is occupied by $50 tons of
ice. This space will be available for
additional storage after the proposed
repairs are made and refrigerating
machinery installed.
Swift & Company have seven
branch houses in Vermont The st.
Johnsbury branch was the last one
established in this state. It was built
in 1893 and opened in October of
that year. Charles w. Steele, the
local manager, entered the employ
Of Swift & Company a few months
after the house was opened in Febru-
ary, 1894, serving for four years as
travelling salesman, and for the past
Is years as manager of the business.
Mr.. Steele has been able to increase
the business of this branch until he
has outstripped nearly all of the other
Swift branches in Vermont, and he
expects with this increased equip
ment, to make st. Johnsbury the
leading provision house in the State

WANT AN ARMoRY HERE.
Co. ID. Will Soon Be Without Home
Unless New One is Built.

Petitions are being circulated about
town by members of Co. D., V. N. G..
and their friends asking support of
a move to have the town at its annual
meeting vote an appropriation for the
purchase of a site for an armory for
the company.
The state recently passed a law
pledging to build an armory not to
exceed $4,000 in cost in towns
where the town will present the
state with a site. The company OOes
not expect to be able to retain their
present quarters and feels the town
should furnish site and secure a
state building. One such armory is
already under way at Bellows Falls
and several other towns have pur-
chased sites and st. Johnsbury should
get into line.

FIRE Loss FOR 1o1a.
Extremely Low Figures Inside The
Village Limits.

village Limits.
The Vermont insurance commits
sioners' official figures giving fire loss
in ST. Johnsbury for 1913 have just
been received and the following an
alysis shows that previous estimates
made with respect to losses In the
village of st. Johnsbury we're sub
stantially correct. The results are
as follows.
Fires within the village.
Number. Damage. Ins. Paid.
Is $6O4.81 $603.3O
Fires in town outside the village.
Number. Damage. Ins. Paid.
8 $5,031.61 $4,299.90
The contrast here between the fires
inside the village and those outside
Is most Striking especially when the
amount of property insured within
the village is considered. To make
the above figures complete there
should be added the losses paid by
companies not reporting to the in
surance commissioners In this state
and such losses as were not covered
by insurance. These within the viii
lage amount to $1,326.25 of which
the insurance companies paid only
$326.25. Therefore the final results
for the village would be as follows:
1913.
Number of fires. Damage. Ins. Paid.
20 $1,931.O6 $929.55
The amount of insurance premiums
paid in one year on property within
the village of St. Johnsbury is diff
cult to determine, but is conservative
ly estimated at from $4,000 to $780,
900. Such year as 1913 Is extreme
ly fortunate not only for property
owners but especially for the insur-
ance companies.

TWO RIG SUNDAY FIRES.
Rutland and BrattIebOro Met With
Heavy Losses In Business
Section.

Sunday was bad day for fires in
Vermont, Rutland and Brattleboro
losing 100000 in fires on that day.
At Rutland a $4,000 fire broke out
in the Dunn block on Merchants Row
at six o'clock and kept both fire COM
panies at work until ten O'Clock. The
building was gutted and the roof
almost entirely burned away. The
goods of the two stores on the first
floor were a complete loss from the
water damage. Dunn Bros, were
the biggest losers, about $4,000.
At Brattleboro the Grange block on
Elliott street was a total loss as well
as it's contents. 1T was a three story
brick block, valued at $4,000. The
fact that the exterior walls did not
fall was all that saved the wooden
building beside it. Every foot of the
department hose was used, and priv
ate hose beside. The stores on the
ground floor of the building were a
complete loss. The cause of both
fires is unknown.
