LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR
The Waterbury Poorhouse.

Editor. Barre Times. There appeared
in the Barre Daily Times under date OF
Dec. 5 an item in regard to the poor
house in the town of Waterbury which
from the way it read, evidently came
from the office of the board of charities
and probation. IL is true that the sec
rotary of the board of charities and
probation has for the last two wears
been making statements to the town
officials in regard to the poorhollse.
His, idea has been that the house should
be practically rebuilt, and the cost of
such changes as he has had in mind has
been absolutely prohibitive, his recon
mendations being that there should be
such work done that would make it
practically new construction.
1t is true that about two weeks ago
Dr. Nancy, the district health officer,
visited the place and inspected the
buildings, the overseer of the poor of
the town of Waterbury being present
at that time. The house was not con
demned by the board Of health and DR..
Nancy and DR.. Dalton of the state
board say that they did not authorize
the publication Of any such report that
has appeared in the papers.
0t course the secretary of the board
OF charities and probation under The
law~has matters in his own hands, but
the officials of the town of Waterbury
feel that there is reason in all things
and while they are willing to do all
that can be done TO improve conditions
they feel that the town would not care
to 60 to the expense of rebuilding in
line with the suggestions made by the
secretary Of the board Of charities and
probation.
The town officials desire to simply
place TINS matter in its true light and
are not making this statement with
any intention of covering up any condi-
lions that may exist but solely for the
purpose of showing that the article that
appeared in the papers is misleading
and was not published by any author
ity Of the state board of health.
If any person feels that conditions at
the town farm are not as they should
be, the town officials invite an examina-
ton of the premises at any time and
will be glad to explain to any person
the conditions that now exist in regard
to carrying out recommendations that
have been made by the secretary of the
board of charities and probation in re-
gard to any new building or in regard
TO repairs on the old buildings.

Burlington's Predicament.

We notice that the city of Burlington
voted through its city council on Dec. 2
to borrow S90,990 to pay its share Of
the direct state tax, which action seems
to have been taken a full month after
the law explicitly stated the money
should be in the hands of the state
treasurer. When other cities and towns
of Vermont went to considerable pains
to have their state tax money in on
time, il is not equitable that the larg-
est and richest municipal corporation
in Vermont should be allowed to be SO
delinquent. Barre Times.
The Burlington street department il
now at odds with the mayor and the
members of the city council The mu.
nicipal government to the Queen city
is rare and remarkable exhibition OF
how city ought not to be run. Mont
pelier Argus,
The city of Burlington is in much the
same position as a man who essays to
live at a $4,000 pace on a s. 500 salary.
In the face Of constantly increasing ex.
penses il was quite obvious that a sub.
stantial increase in revenue must be
made and yet an attempt to create
that revenue BY raising the tax rate
was defeated when referred to the PEG
Pile
There were two peculiar features
about that particular vote, one being
the lamentably small vote cast, which
showed utter indifference to very Sc.
rious municipal matter, and the other
that much of the opposing vote was
cast through political rather than bust.
ness considerations
The present financial tangle in Bur
lington is up to the citizens Of the city
and we should not be particularly
proud of it.
Next year we shall have, Of course,
higher tax rate or the obvious plan Of
lodging such higher rate high prop
erty valuations which means the same
thing in the end so far as the taxpayer
is concerned.
In the meantime we trust the stock
holders in the largest and richest cor
poration in Vermont" viii develop a
little livelier interest in the affairs Of

Sec. Lanes proposal to drain marsh
land for ex-seryiee men loses much of
its force when we read that large
tract of land in southern Vermont may
be turned into a vast preserve for fish
and game, the land lying in Whining
ton, Somerset and other towns One
reason why it is proposed to turn the
land into a fish and game preserve is
because the property is not being
worked for farm purposes, there being
so few people to operate the land The
fact is that land in Vermont is CRYING
for tenants. Much of it is valuable
land, or land that would be valuable
just as soon as the proper attention in
fertilizing had been given to it; and ex-
service men and oilers could make a
comfortable living, and perhaps a small
fortune off the land if they should carry
on farm operations correctly, SO there
will be no need to drain marsh lands
when there is so much idle land in Ver-s
mont and the other states of New
England.

MAIN LINE TRAINS IN BARRE.

A rumor in local railroad circles has
1t that when the railroad properties go
back into the hands of their original
owners, after being operated by the
government during the period of the
war; the Montpelier & Wells River
branch of the Boston & Maine railroad
will run its main line trains into Barre
and from Barre instead of clinging to
the so-called suburban service between
Barre and Montpelier to connect with
the main line. The basis for the rumor
has not been established but from a
casual study of the situation one would
come to the conclusion that such a
move would be backed up by sound
financial reasons. The running of the
main line trains into Barre would en-
able the railroad to dispense with the
passenger train which prior to the war
was used between Barre and Montpelier
to connect with the main line trains at
Montpelier, thus cutting down the mon
ey tied up in equipment on the Mont
pelier & Wells River road, reducing the
operating expenses as to fuel and elm
mating number of employees or releas
ing those employees to some other
branch of the service, II has often
been stated that the passenger traffic
between Barre and Montpelier did not
warrant the keeping Of the branch line
train in operation, the situation being
in decided contrast to the former times,
before the electric railroad came into
operation and before automobiles began
to be so numerous, when the steam rail-
roads carried large number of people
between the two cities If the main
line trains should be run into Barre
they could, of course easily handle the
traffic; and the schedules could be ad
jpsted to meet the changes. Inciden-
tally, the operating of the main line
trains into Barre would serve the con-
venience OF the public in one of.the best
feeding communities which the Mont
pelier & Wells River railroad has. As
is well known, Barre furnishes large
percentage of the business, both pas
senger and freight on the Montpelier &
Wells River railroad, and any move
which would have tendency to in
crease the convenience Of the people Of
that community would also be likely to
increase the business, especially if
through cars between Barre and Boston
were to be put back as they were prior
to the temporary transfer to the gov
eminent. Taken all in all, the PROPOSE
ton looks favorable, and Barre people
will probably hope that the rumor is
well founded.

BETHEL
Benjamin F. Waldo, Well Known Here
Died in Nahant, Mass.

Benjamin Franklin Waldo, the last
survivor of five brothers who served in
Co A of the 10th Vermont regiment
during the Civil war, died last Monday
at his home in Nahant, Mass, to which
he returned a few weeks ago after
spending the latter part of the summer
at the home of sister, Mrs. T.. r.
Bigelow of this village. He also spent
the summer Of 1918 here and was well
known in this place Co, A was the
famous Bethel company, Of which
Henry A. Eaton of Rochester was the
commanding officer, and it suffered Sc
verely az the battle of Gettysburg,
more severely in fact than any other
Vermont company Mr.. Waldo enlisted

was mustered out Aug. 10, 1868. His
brothers in the same company were

An increasing number of people
throughout the nation are feeling much
the same as the editorial writer of the
Springfield Mass Republican, who
wrote in the Dec. issue:
Unless Mr.. Lodge can give us peace
a real peace-by congressional resolu-
tion, he is in no position to hold pis-
toll at the head of the president and de-
mand his surrender, If Mr. Lodge does
not desire an indefinite prolongation of
the legal state of war, he must contrib
ute something substantial to the neees-
sary compromise.

the there's nothing -to-arbitrate crowd

thing to arbitrate. Just so, there's
something to compromise in this treaty

CURRENT COMMENT


Never before was the advantage of
waterdeveloped electric power more
apparent than during the present coal
strike Public utilities as well as in
dustries in community like that Of
Rutland, supplied by hydro-eleetric
power, will not have to close down,
whereas in communities where power
is coal steam made, industries have
had to close by the score, throwing
thousands OF men into idleness and re-
tarding production. The tendency for
the immediate future is for industries
to seek localities in Vermont where
they can have hydro-electrh power,
not only on account OF its dependable
ity but also on account of its being so
much cheaper than power made from
coal, the price Of which is destined to
continually increase, 1t behooves Yer
mont to be alive 70 its opportunities
industrially, by reason Of the situation.
