BELLOWS FALLS.
Poverty at Bellows Falls.

0verseer Of the Poor Peter Dorand
IS authority for the statement that
there are and will be more cases of
poverty in this village this winter
than for many years. He explains that
most Of the unskilled laborers have
failed TO get increases in wages and
as many of these have large families
their earnings are not sufficient to
battle with old Hi Cost.
Mr.. Dorand states further that
many men who, until January l, were
earning good wages, lost their positions
aheu local concern finished work on
large shell contract and some OF
these men have not sufficient funds tc
move their families out Of town.
