The Meddler
IL" the coat fts you. put ii on"

A fact which is not generally known,
but which may be of interest at this
particular time, is that the hydrants
throughout the village are not owned
by the Brattleboro Water Works Co.,
but are the property of the village and
in charge of the village officials. The
obligation of the water company IS
merely to supply water for these ny
drants at a rental of so much year,
and that corporation is no more respon-
sible when a hydrant breaks than &c
would be in the case of n broken TAU
cct in 40 private dwelling 1t is only
fair that this fact be stated at TINS
time for the reason that a great many
people have been inclined to blame me
water company because of the delay IN
repairing the broken hydrant at the
corner of Main and High streets.
What blame there is in this case rests
on the village officials, and it must DC
said that they appear to have been UNI
| necessarily slow. In view of the i'm
portance of having every hydrant IN
perfect order at all times it would
seem as if the village ought to keep
, several extra hydrants on hand to-
gether with the necessary appliances
for making repairs quickly.
An effort is under way, The Meddler
understands, to induce the Central Yer
mont railway authorities to install a
! telephone in the ticket office of the new
! station Doubtless the C. Y. officials
will make objection to this on the
ground that there would be too many
calls for information in regard to the
arrival and departure of trains, etc,
and yet shouldn't the supplying of in
| formation of this kind be considered
| part of the service which a railroad
corporation is properly expected to rem
der the travelling public? For years
Brattleboro people have been in the
habit of getting such information by
4: telephoning the Brooks House, but
when one stops to think of IT there Is
no good reason for expecting the ho-
tel to act as an information bureau
for the railroads \ telephone in the
station would be busy instrument, to
be sure, but it also would be a great
convenience.

ing communication, which explains

1t is generally conceded that tur-

somewhat scare in local markets. For
that reason prices will be we'll MAIN

Acc pound retail. While there will
he plenty of turkeys in the market,
there will not be as much Of the high
est grades as formerly. There appears
to be fair supply of medium grade
gobblers and without doubt a large
amount will be sold. The supply of
frozen grades are fair and those de-
string the cheaper quality will un.
doubtedly find what they wish in the
open markets. AS whole the supply
Of chicken, fowl, ducks and geese is Z
little short Of normal. The finest
quality chicken will hardly be over Csc
pound and the weight OF some chick
ems is running as high as many tur-
keys. Geese and ducks are of fine
quality and reasonable. The best of
nuts will be high. Fruits such as
oranges and grape fruit will have
wide range OF prices, according to
grades. The supply is quite large.
