BELLS DELIGHT MANY.
Ex-Governor Mead Hears Concert
Mrs, Mead Listens In Rutland.
Chime very Successful.

Chime Very Successful.
Middlebury residents who watched
the old year out heard few tunes from
the new chime Of bells in the tower OF
the Mead Memorial Chapel, but the reaI
inauguration of the chime came on
Tuesday, when Ex-Governor John A.
Mead came up from Rutland to hear
them for the first time andIto decide as
to their acceptance.
FIRST in company with his class-mate,
Ex-President Brainerd, he visited the
tower and noted the arrangement for
playing the bells The workmanship
about the console and everything about
the installation was pronounced excellent
and perfectly satisfactory. The bells
themselves had been seen in Troy and
found to be beautiful specimens of
foundry casting
For the concert the visitors went to
the old chapel, which is just the right
distance for the best effect. Promptly
at four o'clock the chime rang out, and
the first strains were sufficient to con-
vince the listeners that the makers had
been unusually successful in the Mead
chimes. The tones are rich and full
and the bells are remarkably harmon-
Gus and even in quality, The lower
tones are especially admirable. The
donor had no hesitation in accepting the
chime.
Through the enterprise of the Rut-
land Herald very pleasant feature had
been arranged, That paper had en-
gagged the telephone company to install
a special instrument on the college cam
pus and at the proper time connection |
was made with the Mead home in Rut-
land, where Mrs. Mead, who was unable
to be in Middlebury, had the pleasure
of listening to the entire concert. 1t
was at the Herald's suggestion that the
recital included God be with you till
we meet again" the familiar hymn
by Rev, DR.. jeremiah L.
Rankin, graduate of the college.
The bells were rung by E. A. Me-
neely of the firm of Meneeley & Co.,
of Watervliet, N. Y, and the program
vas arranged by the chimer especially
for the approval of DR.. Mead. The
program was as follows; "Trinity
Chimes" "Doxology," LEAD Kindly
Light" :" "Sicilan Mariners" abide
With Me, ," Jesus Lover of My Soul"
''Ihe King of Love-" Joy to the
World, " Columbia, " cold Kentucky
Home, " Marching Through Georgia."
"The Holy City," God Be With You,"
and "Auld Lang Syne, " (
The chime Of II bells, the largest
24i4 pounds and the smallest {
279 pounds, total in weight 10, 53l {
pounds, the tones are F and F sharp, |
j sharp, A and A sharp, B, C sharp, :
D and D sharp, E and F sharp. The '
2els are composed of 78 parts pure {

ENGAGED IN THE WORK AT
PILOT ROCK JUNCTION.

Indications that town is to spring
up at Pilot Rock Junction as a result
of the opening of the new terminal

learned that Geanakopolus is himself
contemplating the erection of busi'
ness building in the near future and
is also making provision for the con-
structlon Of several dwellings.

has disposed of his land between the
tracks and that none OF the proposed
town will be built in such u way that
there will be interference in SWITCH
ing operations through street cross
ings.

Bond Measure and
Special Tax Levy
Will 90 on Ballot
PLANS FOR BUILDING GOOD
ROADS WILL BE SUBMITTED
AT PRIMARIES.

Both the ssSO.OOO bond issue mea-
sure and measure providing for an
additional two mill road tax for a
period OF five years will be placed up
on the ballot at the primary election
May l9. This was decided by the
county court this morning.
The court is not compelled to put
either measure upon the ballot The
petitions circulated for the bond is
sue measure lacked 1873 names of hav-
Ing enough to compel the court to call
an election. However, there were
enough names to give the court an
option of submitting the measure 10
the people and the court is exercising
this option.
No petitions however, were circu-
lated for submitting a measure pro-
viding for a two-mill special road tax
but requests We're made by prominent
taxpayers that such a measure be
placed in the ballot The court was in
doubt as to its authority and asked
the opinion of District Attorney Stei-
wer. He rendered an opinion this
morning to the effect that the court
could place such a measure on the
ballot but that the vote upon it would
be in the nature only of straw vote
for the guidance of the court.
In the event it carried it would not
be mandatory upon the court to levy
the special tax. However, should this
measure carry and the bond issue fail,
the court would have the privilege of
including the additional two mill road
tax in the levy made next December.
Any registered voter in the county
will be privileged to vote upon the two
measures regardless of politics.
