The New England Power company
has laid its plans for a 100000 de-
velopment scheme before the Massa-
chusetts state board of gas and cleo
trio light commissioners and, although
the power generated viii be distribu-
ted through central and southern
Massachusetts, the beginning of OPP
erations would be in Readsboro, this
state, where it IS planned to build an
earthen dam, nearly 200 feet high,
the largest earthen dam in the world.
This would create a basin covering
5000 acres of land and having a cap
acity Of 3,600,000,000 cubic feet. From
this dam a tunnel viii be bored
through the mountain a distance of
$4,000 feet, at the end of which viii
be built power plant with a capaci-
ty of $4,000 horsepower. It is said
that the building Of the proposed
dam and power plant would save
$4,000 tons of coal yearly in New
England.

Methodists Want $4,000.

The Vermont Conference Commits
sion on Conference Claimants Endow
ment Fund has organized by the cleo
ton of Hon. Frank Plumley of North
field as chairman, Senator Sanford A.
Daniels Of Brattleboro as vice chair
man and treasurer, and Rev. Z. w.
Sharp, also of Brattleboro, as field
secretary. Prominent ministers and
laymen constitute the other members
of the commission which has set for
itself the task of raising the sum of
$4,000 to be added to the $4,000
now on hand, the combined sum to
constitute permanent endowment
fund for the purpose of paying annu-
tiles and gratuities to the veterans of
the conference who have borne the
burden in the heat of the day and de-
serve a pension in the few years of
their retirement from active service.
This action is in line, not only with
the other conferences of Methodism,
but also with the other great protes-
tant denominations of the country.
Under the leadership of one of their
bishops the protestant Episcopalians
set out to raise $5,000,000 for their
retired preachers and did not stop I'm
til 100000 had been paid or
pledged The Presbyterians are also
doing great things in this line.
The Methodists of the country
number many millions, and have
more churches and preachers than any
other Protestant denomination, hence
need more money for this fund. Fiji
teen million dollars is the goal now
set for the country as whole and
$150,O00 for the Vermont conference
But, as the conference already has
$4,000 Of invested funds, the COM
mission now only asks for the modest
sum of $4,000 for which tremen-
dous drive is now being organized
and will be put into operation in the
early fall.

The Monitor is in actual sympathy
with the principles which actuate the
New England Milk Producers associ-
alton, but does believe it would have
been good policy to have postponed
the increased price demands for milk
about two months. The association
should be careful not to make charges
which its members are so wont to
make against others, applicable to
itself. The Monitor recently heard
the point of monopolistic tendencies
well drawn by one who deals with
both farmers and our great corpora
tions. Allusion was made to the fact
that there were farmers during the
past year had refused tremendously
high prices for potatoes when there
was many poor town dweller who
could not buy them, and were. at the
same time cursing that the price of
gasoline for their automobile was up
a cent per gallon. GAS for me-" said
the man speaking, 81 will take my
chances with John DIS dictatorship
for all of the S4-per-bushel potato
hoarder." This is not a protest so
much as it is a warning

The Monitor notes the appointment
Of two weights and measures inspec-
tors for the entire state of Vermont,
by State Treasurer Scott, upon whom
the duties of this department have
been placed. If we recall correctly
the last legislature placed upon the
shoulders of this department the test
ing of gas, electric and water meters
as well as scales, gasoline pumps, and
measurers of every description, and
gave the department $4,000 to work
with. The Monitor bets a bushel of
potatoes to a gallon of gas that there
are electric, gas and water meters
enough alone in Orleans, Caledonia
and Franklin counties to keep one
deputy testing the greater part of a
year. This leaves the other ten coun-
ties for the other man to look after
besides taking care of the scales and
measurers for the entire state. We
really ought to have a department
here that is to amount to something
or else wipe the whole thing from the
map 1t is bound to be a farce as it
is.
