From the Rutland Herald

A most significant sidelight on the alb
surdity of maintaining aseparate govern
ment in small, poor towns was shed by
the PRAYER of Belvidere for relief at the
hands of the Legislature on account OF
I he burning of a schoolhouse.
This town has population of 429 and
an area of 1883 acres. Its grand
list is about $4,000, and it owes over
$500. To pay its expenses of govern
ment tax of $500 was levied last year
Its vote for Governor in 1914 was 60.
The original school.house was erected
by means of state aid to the extent of
$1,000, and in order to replace the burned
building according to specifications of
the state board of health, it is estimated
that $4,000 is now required. To aid in
constructing this building the state ap-
propriated $500.
Belvidere is no better and no worse
than dozens of other towns that stagger
under heavy debt, a small grand list,
an Impoverished population, heavy
annual tax levy, and which come bien-
nially to the Legislature for relief 1t
was not included in the Heralds list of
rotten boroughs, for the reason that its
vote is over so and the character of its
representation in the Legislature is gen.
orally good.
But Belvidere, according to any bust
ness standard, is bankrupt, broke, busted
or anything else that means that Belvi-
dere cannotpay its debts and comfortably
maintain town government. The Her
aid believes the time is seeming when some
kind of state tribunal shall wind up the
affairs of hopelessly bankrupt town and
administerits government on some agreed
plan.

Cushing's vessel was the first of its:

ton had to be exploded by a third
lanyard. In brief, the spar had to be
swung around. point forward, then
lowered to the required depth, the
shell next detached and forced out, and
finally, when in place, fired by force

the trying moment, therefore, Cushing
had upon his person four lines to be
handled with the utmost GOODNESS and
precision. If any one movement failed
all failed. Furthermore, he had line

g1neer to give signals for the control
of the launch. The boat moved slow

100 pound rife gun, which, as words
of command heard aboard the launch

distance the missile was thrust under
