We think the st. Johnsbury man who
boom is in error in suggesting that the
mention of Alexander Dunnett's name
for governor was move on the part
of Senator Dillingham; s friends to shut
Judge Stafford out of the senatorial
race. Squire Dunnett S name was first
mentioned in the News. and Citizen, 9

the wishes of Senator Page than OF
Senator Dillingham;. We believe, how
ever, that Editor Lewis mentioned
Squire Dunnett for governor because
he, like many others, believed he would

Now that the matter of the Auditor

road commissioner authorized to make
an estimate of the cost of permanently
improving Main street The Meddler has
nothing further to suggest to the select
men except that they get the West
River bridge proposition in such shape
that the voters can act on it intelli-
gently next March. 1t is admitted on
all sides that the present bridge is fast
nearing the end of its existence. and
the chances are that action looking to-
ward the construction of a new one
cannot be postponed beyond next spring.
Somebody already has suggested that
state and federal aid might be avail
able but that would, be sure to depend
largely on the kind of bridge which the
| town decided on, its location, etc. The
selectmen are the ones to take up the
proposition in all its details, securing
estimates as to the cost of various types
| in different locations, and ascertaining
| definitely whether and under what con-
ditions the town could expect financial
assistance from the state or federal
| treasury.

In view of the way local tenements
are filing up it is obvious that before
very long Brattleboro will be face to
face with housing problem that might
retard its growth considerably. 1t is
no secret that representatives of indus
trial concerns seeking branch locations
are constantly travelling through this
locality, and there is no knowing when
one or more of them will decide on this
town as the place in which. to start. If
such a situation develops the matter of
providing houses is likely TO be one of
the first propositions put up to local
people and a great deal of effort on
the part of someone will be required to
meet it. This difficulty could be obvi-
ated, or at least lessened, by the for
nation of a realty company for the pur-
pose of erecting a number of houses as
soon as the need of them became appar-

AT GREENSBORO
MAKES NEW RECORD

Greensboro, KY, Dec. 3.-While
the growers of the Green River dis
trict we're expecting high prices at
the opening of the tobacco market
in Greensboro, the hopes of the most
sanguine were exceeded when an av-
erage around $40 a hundred pounds
was realized on scale of 100000
pounds of pryor.
A new worlds record for pryor
was established when that type of
leaf went to $50 hundred
Burley tobacco also made a rec
ord on the greensboro market when
it went to $50 hundred.
The bidding opened up active and
there was strong demand at all
times. Not all of the buyers are on
the market and it is predicted that
it will be even stronger than it was
by the end of the week.
