idly and is in charge of John Higgins and
Rex Higgins The gravel state road be-
tween this town and Brattleboro is about

ways hereabouts, not even excepting the

patroling this road, the cost of upkeep
being comparatively moderate The stone
cutters on Brattleboro street are being
rapidly completed and all the roads about
the village are in very good condition,
which speaks well for our regular road
