sued restraining the Central Vermont
Railway Co. from making certain pro
posed changes at the overpass near
Salmon Hole bridge was not held, the
parties coming to an agreement.
On account Of crack in the west abut-
ment to the overpass the railroad company
planned to build cement retaining wall
about the abytment, which the town of
Newiane, through Attorney A. V. ID. Pip
er, claimed would make still more dan
gerous the already too narrow highway at
that point The town asked not only that
the proposed work be prevented but that
the railroad company be ordered to 50 re-
pair the abutment that the road might
be made wider.
1t appeared that the government had
ordered the railroads not to expend mon
ey in repair work except in cases of ur.
gent need, because of the needs of the
government for the best service the rail
roads can give during the war. 1t was
agreed therefore that the railroad com
pany should build retaining wall on the
south side OF the abutment, but not or
the side facing the highway, and that
after the government embargo was lifted
the railroad company should move the
abutment back four feet
For the present, therefore, the road
way will remain as it is is now and the
crack in the abutment will be filled.

EXPERTS INSPECT POTATOES.
DR.. Lutman and Mr.. Bailey Make Ex-
animation for Disease and Pass One
Field in West Wardsboro.

Two experts in potato culture, DIR.
l.. w. Lutman of the University of Yer
mont and Harold l.. Bailey of Bradford,
were here Tuesday and Wednesday,
having come TO Windham county to in
spect fields of seed potatoes for Com
missioner +. s. Brigham of the Vermont
department of agriculture Commits,
sioner Brigham will have fields inspect
ed for any who have strictly pure va
rieties and wish to raise them for seed.
An earlier inspection had been made for
any mixture in varieties. The inspee-
ton this week was to discover any dis
eases that might be present. The only
field passed was that of Clarence Street
er of West Wardsboro, who has fair
sized field of Irish Cobblers.
The potato inspection is made without
cost to the farmer, and if the field is
certified as being free from mixtures
and disease il would help in locating n
market at better price than that paid
for the common table potatoes. In some
places farmers are cooperating and rails
ing potatoes to ship in carload lots. In
order to have his field pass the inspec-
tion one must start with certified seed
and then spray very thoroughly so as to
keep the crop free from blight.
The potato yield in Windham county,
and for that matter in other places, is
light and the prospects are continually
poorer The trouble seems to be lack
of potash in the soil. Many fields yield
but two or three potatoes in hill.

formation of the Westminster company
loans on collateral held by her were
turned over to the corporation, and at
the time of her death she had no such
loans. The Windham company was
formed to take over and foreclose mort
cages belonging to her. and at the time
of her death the assets of the company
were S749,947 and the liabilities 1897 DOG.
The excess OF the liabilities, showing one
of the few instances in which Mrs. Green
ever lost money, was due to the dcpre-
citation in the value of real estate ac-
quired by foreclosure.
Colonel Green testified that his mother
held four bank accounts at the time of
her death but on objections by his coun-
sci he was not required to state the
amounts or the banks in which the ac-
counts were kept. He was also relieved
from telling anything of the assets of
the Westminster company, his counsel
|contending that the law was clear that,
since the corporation did no business in
New York, it did not act as Mrs. Green s
agent, and its property was not subject
to tax here, although she owned $50 of
the ! go shares of stock, and her son,
who is president, had GOO shares, which
she gave him to start in business.
Upon Colonel Green's testimony coun-
sci for the state controller asked APP
prsiser Compton to rule that Mrs Green
had capital employed in New York state
through the medium of the corporations
which was taxable and to require the
executor to furnish statement showing
all the bank deposits and the assets of
the two corporations. Appraiser Comp
ton denied the request ION the ground
that the decedent did not have capital
in the state of New York so invested
that it would be taxable under the in
heritance tax law statutes"

how the two cars could have collided
There was a crash, a splintering of wood
and tearing of metal when the machines
came in contact with each other, and the
Ford being much the lighter of the two
naturally got the worst end of the bar

was attended by DR.. j. &. kenney anC

home of his father when word of the ac
cident was teephoned to them.
Mrs. Albert Mason was badly bruised
but suffered the worst from severe burnt
on one shoulder caused by the water from
the radiator of the Miner car, which
poured down upon her as she was under
meath the machine. Miss Lydia AIasor
