LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
ALDERMAN PATTERsoN's SIDE.
Replies to Mr.. Kelly's Criticism Regard
ing "Filling."

NcPhcs " WI. nelly NitiSisA NNSb~~
ing Filling
Mr.. Editor;
In reply to the communication IRON
Mr.. Kelly in regard to dirt taken out OF
North Main street will say that not q
load of dirt was sold as cheap as 10 cents
and the statement that he made is un-
true.
Sometime last spring Mr.. Kelly, with
Others, made request for some dirt Tor
filling from North Main street. Inc
street committee gave him to understand
that they would have granted this re-
quest provided they had enough to sup
ply the demand.
While the work was in progress, there
came a call from residents on Warren
street for a large fill to be made and
also some on Pleasant street and Brook
lyn street. These requests were consid-
cred by the city council, it being the
sense of that body that these fills should
be made to improve our streets. After
making these fills in the streets and fills
for Messrs. Buzzell and Granger, we had
no dirt to spare. The requests from
these two gentlemen came previous TO
Mr.. Kelly's application and dirt could
be handled to them cheaper, as it would
have been necessary to pay the contrac-
tor for overhaul if drawn to Mr.. Kelly's
lot.
| believe that the street committee
should not be judged by malicious state
ments made under false dictation, but
their side OF the question at issue should
also be considered in order that the citi-
gems of the city of Barre may draw their
own conclusions from the statements
heretofore made.

Whatever may be the impatienee OF the
British for President Wilson's inactivity
in the Mexican revolt during the past
few months, the people of the United
States will not be inpatient in the pres

decision. Indeed, they will commend
their executive if he hears all sides of
the controversy. taking whatever time
Il needed for that consummation. BY
that time solution ought to be forth
coming without necessity for the United
States to get mixed up in very tangled

legislative and judicial divisions.
Each Of the y states is represented
in two houses of congress. composed
Of Senators and Deputies. Congress
holds two sessions each year for
limited periods, Each state has its
governor and legislature and is sub
divided into districts or counties,
over which a 'jefe politicon is placed,
the districts having subsidiary muni-
cipalittes with magistrates, presiding
officials and councils. The so-called
autocratic feature of the government
may be largely due TO the fact that
governors hold Office with the APP
nroyal of the President, that iefe
uoliticos have similar relations with
the governors. and that the officers
Of the municipalities arc generally
controlled by the iefe politicos.
