Three Articles Calling for
Appropriations to Be
Acted Upon
NOTHING SURE
AS TO OUTCOME
Town Counsel Finds No Authority for
Voting Money for Company I Fund
Highway Repairs Needed, but Kick
ing Over Tax Bills Is Heard.

What will be done with the articles in
the warrant at the special town meeting
tonight is problematical, although there
lappears to be a strong sentiment among
| the voters in favor of turning down all
the propositions for raising money. That
sentiment may not represent the ma
lJority of the voters, however, and time
lalone will tell how the voters feel to-
ward making the desired appropriations.
The meeting will be held at o'clock
in Festival hall. 1t was called originally
ion petition of voters to see if the town
would vote an appropriation for the use
of the members of Company | of Brat
itleboro, who are part of the Vermont
regiment, and later other articles were
iadded as result of other petitions.
1t has been proposed that an appro-
Ipriation of per cent of the grand list be
voted for Company |, to be placed in the
hands of Col. j. Gray Estey as com
,pany fund.- which has been much needed
Since then the information has been Civ
,, en- out that the Vermont regiment prob
ably would be divided and that the
members of Company l probably would
not remain together.
Attorney Arthur p Carpenter, coun-
lsel for the town, was asked by the Sc
lectmen whether the town had a right to
appropriate money for that specific pur
lpose, and he states tbdsy that he can
find no statute permitting such an APP
: preparation. The only statute he finds
n bearing on the subject is one enacted at
k the last session of the legislature, which
e is No los of the Public Acts of 1917. 1t
# reads as follows:
IS Towns and cities may appropriate
h money for the relief of families of. and
:. those dependent upon. members of the
lie national guard when called into the
sr service of the national government and
g while in such service"
1t 1t is understood that money for the
IS purpose mentioned in the statute could
not be voted without an article covering
# that special object, which would mear
er another meeting.
n The other articles relate to making
or appropriations for completing the side
V walk and retaining wall on Vernon stree
IL and to laying sidewalk and paving ant
e, grading near the new Holstein Friesial
V association building.
on 1t is realized that the Vernon stree
lr- work will have to be completed some
en- time, also that something win have t
or be done near the Holstein- Friesia
en- building, but since the tax bills hav
'ss been distributed, showing substantia
TIL increase in the amount of taxes, ther
" has been much kicking Some feel tina
it would be better to delay these in
provements. partly because such wor
costs about p per cent more now tha
in normal times.
On the other hand there are those wh
n think the improvements should be mad
now, as it is liable to be some tin
before prices go down

The Boston Globe today tells of the
arrival in Reading, Mass, of Rev. Henry
d. Riggs, for IA years a missionery il
Harpoot, Turkey.
He has been working among the ar
menians, about 20, 900 of whom are il
Harpoot. Many thousands have beeI
deported by the Turks, he saws, and o
these about 80 per cent died of starva
tion. In fact, according to his state
ments, the race is about blotted out, an'
those remaining are dependent on char
ity for their livelihood, the bread win
ners among them being all gone.

crance of diplomatic relations are rt

Mr.. Riggs says, however, that tn
American workers have received grea
assistance from Danish and Germa

tributing supplies among the needy 4
menians.

this morning. The reflection of the
flames which had burst through the roof
awakened Mrs. d. c.. Minis, who lives
nearby and her husband, together with
Mr.. Snow, aroused the ncighbors. F.

Co S plant, where the fire alarm gong
is located, is at the present time shut
down for repairs the town hall bell was
rung.
The fire which started in the hav loft
was soon beyond control, but no other
buildings were near enough to be en-
dangered The barn had been used fol
storage purposes only for the past sev
eral months and contained a small au
tomobile runabout, a large cook stove
a row boat, a quantity of hay and sew
eral farming utensils. A lumber wagoI
and hand corn-cutter were the only ar
tic1es saved. Mr.. Snow had not beer
in the barn during the past three o

.HEARSE FULL OF RUM,
OFFICIALS OUTWITTED
Vehicles of Funeral Party Also Well
Stocked With Liquor Struggled
Over Border.

CLARION, Ia, Aug 25.-Resldents OF
northern Iowa are enjoying good laugh at
the expense OF law enforcement officers
stationed along the Minnesota border TO

The story goes that they were cleveriy out
witted by purity OF thirsty Mason clti-

to get past the vigilance officers.

story goes motor hearse was engaged.
The casket was filled with liquid refresh
ments Of the kind that make men beat
their wives and pink elephants The
''molners, cars were well stocked Then
the procession composed of some - or 80
automobiles, moved solemnly toward the

As the procession neared the border the

party assumed solmn mien They fairly
exuded grief The ministeriaItaon aooinin
person in the front car appeared so sancti
monious that crepe could have added moth
ing to his generally detected and downcast
spirit
Arriving at the state line, the enforce
party assumed solmn mien. They fairl,
ment officers sized up the solemn part,
procession moved on unmolested So com
pletc was the air of gloom and sadnes
that it is said the officers even shed
few tears Of sympathy for those who s.
visbly suffered, not stopping to inquir
the name Of the dear departed"
Once the gauntlet was safely passed, $
the story goes, the pent up spirits-hqui
and otherwise released The sadnes
quickly departed and gloom and bottle
were scattered along the way.
