salary of the town clerk, as required bv

Of the board, to his feet with the follow
ing comprehensive report:
Under Article 3, your selectmen would
respectfully report as follows:
! Prior to the March meeting in 1913
it was thought by the board of seectmen
/ then in office that the town clerks fees
were not sufficient to compensate him for
the work and responsibility in that Of
= fee, hence the vote, which was passed in
the March meeting of 1913, instructed
the seectmen to make investigation and
recommend such salary as seemed right
and proper for the town clerk Owing to
a certain increase in the business of the
town clerks office during 1913 it was
thought at the meeting in March, 1914
that the increase in business was suffi
cient 50 that no extra salary was neces
sary, and after consultation with the
town clerk the matter was not presented
to the voters. The same conditions pre-
vailed during 1914, hence the matter wa.
not brought up at the March meeting in
1915. Your selectmen, however, in 1911:
took action to find out the salaries of tn,
town and city clerks of other municipali
ties of similar size TO Brattleboro.
we found that the town clerk of Ben
inington received yearly salary OF 81 900
and in addition to this had all the lega
fees of his Office except such fees as tn,

words, the Bennington town clerk re

To be in line, therefore, with other

We do not feel that the town Is in a
financial condition to do this at the pres

so long as the town clerk is satisfied with
what he is now getting, that no action be
taken by the town regarding salary OF
the town clerk at this time If our legis-
latures makes changes which affect the
income of the town clerks Office we would
advise that the matter be then gone over
and adjusted as seems right and best to
all concerned. We would suggest that if
the meeting at this time imposes any ex-
ira burden or work upon the town clerk
that he be paid Just and right amount
for actual services rendered
Articles Passed Over.
Mr. Gibson was on his feet promptly
and thanked the selectmen for the very
comprehensive report of the situation,
saying that the article had been inserted
in the warrant to cover exactly the point
the selectmen had so thoroughly covered
and because he had understood that mem
beers of the board of listers had said they
must have help on the work. A motion
to pass over the article was carried
promptly and unanimously
! Mr.. Eddy moved to pass over article
4, which was to see if the town would
vote to pay the town clerk on a salary
basis, and this vent over with whoop.
! f. c. Crosby moved to pass over article
, >, to see if the town would vote to direct
the town clerk as a part of his duties to
assist the board of listers in the clerical
work and render such clerical assistance
to other town officers as should require
it. L. f. Holden moved to amend so that
the listers or selectmen should be instruct
ed to hire the town clerk for the listers
at the same salary per diem the members
of the board receive.
John L. Roess wanted to know if it
would be a legal list.
Mr.. Gibson replied that it is done in
other towns and cities, and if the select
men were empowered to hire such assist
ance all legal technicahties would be re-
moved.
Mr.. Eddy opposed the amendment on
the ground that the selectmen could not
oblge the town clerk to do such work and
said that under the proper article he
would offer "a resolution authorizing the
employment of clerical assistance Mr.
Holden's amendment was lost and the
article was passed over.

ACTIVITIES ON BOARD
THE GERMAN CRUISER
Reports That Prinz EiteI Friedrich
Wants American Protection With
i'll Smile Limit.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 90
The German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich still lay at her dock
today, but activities all about her con
yinced local officials that some definite
steps would +seon be taken, either to
intern or send her out to sea.
The elusive reports current in army
and navy circles that the captain was
ready to go, but awaiting assurances
that the United States would protect
him within a three-mile limit from hos
tile cruisers which have been await
ing the German vessel outside the Vir-
ginia capes would not down.
The only American warships visible
this morning were two torpedo boats
and one submarine
The time limit of the German ship s
stay was a secret, but a well defined
report was in circulation that it ex-
pired within the next As hours.
The report that the Eitel will be
towed to New York within q three
mile limit is not taken seriously by of
ticials, who believe her draft would
not permit her to navigate SO close to
the shore.

be used at all annual town meetings, and
it was voted unanimously
Under the head of other business Mr.
Eddy said that two members of the board
of listers declared it would be impossible
to complete the grand list in time. and
he moved that the selectmen be author
lied to employ such clerical help for the
listers as the board needed, the paw of
the clerk to be at the same rate per diem
as that received by the listers. MIR. Hol-
den moved to amend so that the town
clerk should be hired by the selectmen ii
it was possible for him to give the time
to the work.
Mr.. Piper declared that the proposed
vote was superfluous. He said that the
selectmen had all the power necessary to
hire help for that department when need
ed, exactly as they would hire man TO
repair a broken bridge
Mr.. Holden's amendment finally was car
ried by close vote, and adjournment was
taken 40 minutes after the meeting had
been called to order.

We're now three ways the situation could
be faced. The meeting could proceed to
elect two more listers. leave matters as
they We're, or have the town clerk in
structed to help the board in the clerical
work
He expressed desire to hear from the
attorney for the town on the legal side
OF the question, saying that he had seen
in The Reformer that there was some
doubt of the legality, and that as it had
not ''emanated from the editorial lawyer
Of the paper" he took some stock in it..
MIR. Carpenter, Intercepted, covered at
length the ground he did in an interview
with a Reformer representative Saturday
morning and concluded with expressing
the belief that the town might get into all
sorts of trouble with an illegal grand list
if it were voted to increase the board of
listers.
When the question was put not vote
was heard in favor of resembling the vote
taken at the annual town meeting On
motion of Mr.. Carpenter, article ,, to see
if the town would vote to elect two more
listers, was passed over by a unanimous
vote.
