Governor Walsh is not altogether sat
isfed with the Massachusetts legisla-
ture of 1915. One of his criticisms is
that there has been too much partisan
spirit shown. This is a fault of every
legislature and it will be 10 the end OF
time. Governor Walsh is especially
sensitive over this since a number of
his recommendations received as he
calls it too "scant courtesy He re-
CARDS the passage of the Boston &
Maine reorganization measure one of
the vital pieces of legislation of the
session. Very justly the governor feels
he can fairly claim the credit of this
bill, Independent of the legislature, in
asmuch as he had advocated it in two
of his inaugural messages. The reiec-
ton of the insurance bills, upon which
the special commission spent many
months and which were intended to
benefit the state to large extent, is
matter of deep regret with the gov
ernof.

One indication of the tremendous

Workmen's Compensation Law in
Vermont
bennington Banner

bennington Banner)
The companies doing workmen s
compensation and liability insurance
IN the United States have agreed on
the schedule of compensation rates
under the new Vermont law. rnese
rates are surprisingly low at least as
applied to the ordinary run of manu-
featuring plants-in many cases being
lower than it cost for liability insuT-
ance under the old system which gave
the Workmen no protection whatever.
The new Vermont law goes into effect
July 1st and with the reasonable rates
which the companies have fixed here
an employer of labor cannot afford NOT
to come under the law, even though he
IS not obliged to if he employs fewer
than ten persons. The fact too that
the rates for compensation insurance
under the new Vermont law are only
little more than half the rate in
New York and materially lower than
IN Massachusetts should encourage in
dustnal plants to locate in Vermont
and viii in time have tendency in
that direction. The reason for this Of
course Is that the rates of compensa
ton to be paid in Vermont are some
what lower than in the neirhborino
states but with moderate living OK.
penses III Vermont the protection of
torded the working man is equal Ia
that provided by any state, while Tho
burden imposed on the employer is dc
cidedly less.

Miles Here and There.

In England a mile means the IA
miliar 1.760 yards, but in Iceland it
means 2,240 yards, and in the High
lands it may mean the old Scots mile
of 1876 yards. In Switzerland the
hardy mountaineers think 9,153 the
proper thing, even when, as generally
is, it is very much uphill. The Swiss
is the longest mile of all, being fol-
lowed by the Vienna post mile of
1926 yards. The Flemish mile is
$3.50 yards, the Prussian S,237 yards,
and in Denmark they walk 1924 yards
and call it a stroll of mile The
Turks are satisfied with 1926 yards
and the Italians shorten the distance
of mile to 1,766.

and 10000 gallons were drawn from
Orange reservoir. Six lines of hose were
laid from hydrants depending upon the
Bolster source and five lines from the
Orange basin. Pressure and the length
of the hose lines had to be reckoned in
reaching these conclusions. In all, $1,000
cubic feet of water was used. Some idea
of the aggregate amount which the fire.
men shot forth from eleven MOBILES in

fact that it is estimated that 1000 cubic

There is possibility that along with
the pressure exerted by the central pow
ers, which is causing the serbians TO re-
treat, there is deep-lsid plan on the
part Of the Serbians to play the same
game which has worked so well in other
war fronts, namely, 10 draw the invading
force far from its center and then fall on
II with tremendous strokes OF counter.
offensive. The union Of the Serbians
with the French and the British, together
with the reported advance OF Russian
troops TO effect a junction also, makes
this latter plan in the realm Of possibili-
ties.

WAS FIRST A MEETIN-HoUsE.
Reynolds Store, Erected in 1901, Was
First Public Building in County.

The Reynolds building was the first
"meetin house" in Barre and in Wash.
ington county as well, and il is said also
to have been the first public building in
the county, antedating the first State
House at Montpelier by several years.
IL was projected by the Methodist so
eiety in 1901 and was partially completed
the following year so that, on March /,
1902, il was used for town meeting. From
that time town meetings were held In
the structure for score Of years, ex-
cepting one, while at the same time the
Methodist people were worshipping there.
In consideration OF the fact that the
structure was used for town purposes,
the voters OF Barre, on December Z, 1872
appropriated $500 20 aid the Methodists
in completing the edihoe.
BY the way. il should be stated that
the building did not stand on the present
site. II was first located near the south.
westerly corner Of the common now
the city park, being on land opposite to
the site Of the present Universalist
church. In 1920 year after the town
had appropriated $500 10 assist in com
plotting the ediace. the building was
moved across the park to approximately
the site Of the present Hotel Barre.
About eighteen years later, the Meth
odists having erected a new structure, the
temple Of God was changed into a place
for money-chanFers
In those DAYS i was known as the old
"Tontine" building and was occupied BY
q cooperative store. II was . two-story
