FAIR BOARD REDUCING
ITS INDEBTEDNESS

For the. benefit of those who do
not understand how and by whom
the Fair Board is appointed the fol.
lowing information will 20 doubt be
OF interest. Under an act passed by
the Legislature of 1911 the County
courts OF the various counties of the
State were authorized to appoint a
Board consisting of not less than 3
members as County Fair Board.
One to serve one year, one to serve
two years and the third for three
years. The Fair Board is under
bonds to account for all money and
property and are required by law
to make a financial report to the
County Court not later than Novem-
Der |, each year. This report was
duly filed and is a matter of record
for anyone to see at any time they
care to go to the Court house and
ask the County Clerk for it.
All property belongs to the County
and the Board acts as Trustees or
officers in charge of same for the
county.
Since fling our report for 1915 we
have received the appropriation from
the county of s115O and applied It on
the outstanding Indebtedness reduc-
ing same from $2395 to S1273.50,
which is our total indebtedness at the
present time. s.
The Indebtedness is represented by
the ground and buildings which are
worth better than 5000.
By an act passed BY the Legisla-
ture Of 1915 all county school super
intendents were made members Of
the Fair Board to have charge and
look after the school and education
al work.
We desire to thank the people Of
Morrow county for the liberal sup
port given the Fair in the past and
hope that the Fair will continue to
merit ever better support in the fu-
ture. .yss 4
Respectfully submitted.

President.

ONLY LOCAL FREIGHT
FOR POINTS ON C.. V.
Brattleboro Freight Office Accepting
No Other in View Of Threatened
Traffic Paralysis.

In view Of the possible paralysis of
traffic as a result of nation wide strike,
only local freight for Central Vermont
points is being accepted at the Brattle-
boro freight Office. In spite of this pre-
caution, however, there seems to be a
feeling among local railroad men that
Monday viii find conditions so close to
normal that regular shipments will be
resumed.
One man who is more or less familiar
with railroad conditions hereabouts. said
this morning that in case the strike order
went through he did not believe that
more than 40 per cent of the employees
of the Connecticut & Passumpsic division
OF the Boston & Maine would obey it.
lie further expressed the opinion that
something would happen between now
and tonight to prevent the carrying
out of the brotherhoods' orders.
There has been an increase in the
of business at the American Ex-
press Co.'S office, traceable to the threat
ened freight tie-up, and express is now
being received subject to delay.

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Somewhat conflicting advices are
coming out of Russia regarding the
fate of Romanoff dynasty. Dispatches
this morning announced that Grand
Duke Michael had accepted the throne.
Last night s advices reported the abdi-
cation of Nicholas i III favor of Grand
Duke Michael and the subsequent alb
dication of Emperor Nicholas there can
be no possible doubt, as the text OF
his manifesto announcing it has been
received from Petrograd.
What has occurred in the case Of
Grand Duke Michael, however, is still
far from clear. The stirring news from
