SAYS BRATTLEBORO
ROAD is FIRST CLASS
Bennington Banner Points Out Condi-
ton of Highway Between This
Town and Bennington.

The Bennington Banner, published
by Frank L. Howe, contained in its
issue of Saturday an account of the
trip of members of the Bennington
beard of trade and the Bellows Falls
chamber of commerce to Brattleboro
Friday to talk over the BrattIeboro-
Bennington road with State Highway
Commissioner Stoddard B. Bates What
happened up to the time the meeting
closed was reported in The Reformer
Saturday. The closing part of the Ban
ner 5 report was as follows:
''The party left Brattleboro at 4
0 clock and the majority of those from
Bennington took supper at the Childs
Tavern in Wilmington where Landlord
Crafts provided chicken pie and other
delicacies and local orchestra gave
a musical program that was much en-
joyed.
Following the supper q joint meet
ing OF Bennington and Wilmington
men was held at the town hall with a
large attendance. Fred May presided.
The speakers were c. B. Kclland, L.
II. Porter. DR. S. f. Dunn, c. H. Parm.
alec and c. NJ. Ware of Wilmington,
James =. Taylor, Willard w. Bartlett,
Guy B. Johnson, NJ. j. Hapgood, w. H.
Nichols, Fred c. Martin and Frank Z.
Howe.
Returning, the Bennington cars
were all home in good season and those
who went felt that the trip was a
success in promoting a friendly feeling
and better acquaintance among the
people Of southern Vermont and in
helping stir up an effort to get a good
read from here to BrattIeboro. Such a
road would bring business, visitors
and money to this section and would
ten times over pay dividends on what it
would cost.
1.-The road over the mountain was
rather slippery last night and those
who went had Z chance to see it at its
worst. Brattleboro has a first class
road all the way to the town line.
Marlboro has dcne very well indeed,
and has shown constant Improvement
from year to year. Wilmington looks
as though it took its lessons in road
building from Bennington and ought
to know better. Searsburg has a mile
Of the best mountain road in the state
of Vermont but has had to build a
new iron bridge over the Deerfeld
river this year and is a small. poor
town, with a grand list of less than q
thousand dollars. Searsburg deserves
great credit for doing so well with its
meager resources and ought to have
more help from the state Woodford
also has done splendidly and can give
cards and spades to some of its bigger
and richer neighbOrs but Woodford
should also have more help from the
state. The Woodford grand list is less
than two thousand dollars and it has

troll. The Bennington section of the
road is-well, if the Banner told the
full truth it would be liable to arrest

MUCH DISCUSSION
OVER BARRIERS PLAN
Selectmen Have Reached No Decision
as to Whether They Will At
tempt to Straighten Main Street

AS was to have been expected the
announcement in The Reformer Satur-

ber intends to begin at once the cree
tion of modern store and office build
ing on the site of the former Ray and
Judge buildings and that he expects
to use that portion of the sidewalk
which he claims is his has aroused
much discussion.
The proposition to straighten Main
street and grade the hill, which has
been suggested from time to time for
years, is the subject of general dis
cussion, but no definite move has been
made yet.
Selectmen A. W. j. Wilkins and A..
f. Merrill were asked this morning if
the board had taken any steps and Mr..
Wilkins replied that the board had not

Captain Ralph NJ. Baker of the high

grounds that some of the decisions of
Refere Woodlock were contrary to the

done is matter of doubt
1t is true that the best of feeling
was not demonstrated during and fol

containing more or less "pep" were

POLISH MAN DIES
OF POLIOMYELITIS
Officials Of Eoard of Health and Re-

agnosi3 at Bellows Falls.
Especial to The Reformer. J
BELLOWS FALLS. Nov.


DR.. c. Z. Whitney, the state board
of health and DR.. Edward Taylor of
the research laboratory at Burlington
were here yesterday and performed a
post-mortem examination upon the
brain of Peter Musewski, 50, a Polish
employe of the International Paper
company. The examination confirmed
the belief of the local physicians that
the man died of poiomyelitis. This is
the first case of infantile paralysis in
three years in Bellows Falls, the last
case also having resulted fatally.
MuseWski was employed in the com
pany 5 wood mill and was i'll nine
days. Because several of the symp-
toms which usually accompany the dis
ease were lacking there was some
doubt as to whether the man died of
poliomyelitis until the examination.
Paralysis did not occur until just be-
fore death.
Musewski had lived here several
years. He leaves a wife and two small
children. The home on Pine street,
near Henry, is quarantined. Because
of the nature of the disease there were
no funeral services.
The last person previously to die
here of poliomyelitis also was a Pole
The case was watched closely and in
dications were that the victim would
recover. Bedhugs, however, reinfected
him and death followed. Several in.
sects were sent alive to the state labo
ratory, and animals bit by them devel
oped the disease.

The Bulgarian war office reported today
a continuation of the presence of the Ser
bans along the whole front, considerable
progress having been made in the direction
of Nish. A repulse of the Serbian coun-
ter attack in the upper Morava region is
claimed Bulgarian troops attacked a
French advance post on the Vardar in

gagged on the Gallipoli peninsula have been
sent to Bulgarian Thrace, according to a
report from Constantinople. Greek mill
tary circles, Athens advices state, believe
that while the position of the Serbian
army is difficult it is not desperate. The
campaign is developing as expected by
Greek experts, with the Bulgarians trying
to cut off the Serbian northern army,
which is endeavoring to retreat in good
order on its new line OF defenses.
Relations between Greece and Bulgaria
continue friendly, it is reported by Bu-
charest correspondent, who points to the
success of a Greek commission in negotia-
tions for the purchase from Bulgaria Of
the wheat which IS to be exported by way
of the Dedeaghatch railroad to Saloniki
The Bulgarians are closing in rapidly on
Nish and have advanced so near the city
that their artillery has begun a lombard
ment of its exterior forts, it is claimed
in Sofia despatch, transmitted by wire
less from Berlin.
Only minor engagements between the
French forces and the Bulgarians opposing
them in the Serbian war theatre are re
ported in the current French official state
ment.
Turkish shells from shore batteries
struck and sank the French steamer Tur-
quoise.
