FOUR CHANGES
IN TOWN OFFICERS
Voters to Elect Two Se|ectmen
and Two Listers
Wilkins Plans to Leave Brattleboro--
Selectman Merrill Feels He Has
Served Long Enough.

A situation is developing with re-
spect to some of the more important
town officers that calls for careful con
sideration on the part of the voters be-
tween now and the annual town meet
ing March 4. Present indications are
that there will be two vacancies TO fill
on the board of seectmcn and two on
the board of listers.
Selectman A. w. j. Wilkins will not
serve longer, as he is to leave town,
Selectman A. E. Merrill has decided to
leave the board because he feels he has
held the office long enough and does not
want to be burdened with its cares any
longer, Fred A. Betterley SAYS he can.
not afford to continue as lister and
does not wish to be considered as can.
didatc, and John l.. Howard has ten.
dored his resignation as lister for bust
ness reasons.
Two years ago Mr.. Betterley ex-
pressed desire to give up the position
because it interfered with his garage
business, but he was induced to COM
pletc his threcyear term Now he is
ready TO give it up.
To member of The Phoenix staff
II
time when his garage business demand.
ed his attention. In response to q
question he said that the pay was So a
day, fixed by the town, which was
much less than his time was worth in
his own business.
A lister is supposed to lie good
judge of values, whether of lands,
houses. products, factories, business
blocks or merchandise, and an error in
judgment on the part of lister might
cost the town more than his salary
would amount to. BY common consent
Mr.. Betterley possesses this quality of
good judgment to degree that has not
been exceeded by any lister of this
town i'll recent years, and he is recog
nized as one who declines to be side
tracked in the performance of his
duties. Whether the offer of adequate
compensation would induce him to
change his decision The Phoenix is
not prepared to say.
Selectman wilkins has served in that
capacity four years, one three-year
term and one year on another term. so
whoever is elected to succeed him will
be elected to fill out the unexpired term
of two years. Mr.. and Mrs. wilkins
will go next spring to Cambridge
Mass, where their son, A. o. wilkins
formerly of this town, is treasurer and
manager of the firm of wilkins, Hovey
& Co., machinists and tool manufac-
turers. Sewall Hovey, formerly of
Brattlcboro, is president of the con.
, cern, (which is aoa 500, 900 corporation.
"Mr.m andr~M rs.~W Wilkins plan to leave
their goods here, and possibly keep a
tenement, until fall.
Selectman Merrill completes his term
this year, which will make 10 years as
a member of the board, and during all
that time he has been clerk. Probably
no man is as familiar with the official
town affairs as is he. Mr.. Merrill says
that considering his age he does not
wish to tie up to another three year
term. Selectman w. f. Stellman's
term expires next year.
