Duplication Of State Expenses.
burlington Free Press


In connection with our discussion of
duplication of state service and the CON
sequent unnecessary multiplication of ex-
penses IN various directions a reader
calls our attention to the fact that while
we have state hospital for the insane
at Waterbury, we are continuing to pay
a private institution, the Brattleboro Re-
treat, large sum annually for the care
of state patients He says it would be
an easy matter to make arrangements for
the accommodation of these patients at
Waterbury, with pronounced saving for
the taxpayers. Moreover, he SAYS the
state patients at Waterbury are given
gust as good care as the private patients
which is a decided argument for the case
of such patients in our own institution
and not in a private institution.
The reports of the state auditor show
that in the year 1917 the state paid the
Brattleboro Retreat the startling sum Of
s63, S65.93. while in 1918 the payment by
the state to that institution was Sol 600
making the total for the biennial period
Sl23, S65 SO.
This handsome sum is FIVE per cent OF
the enormous total of S2,477, 3Is. Thi.
amount would 90 far toward providing {
good road system for the state to sa,

for a comparatively few additional pa
tients at Waterbury 1t is about tim,

On account Of the high price of
clover, many people will look for sub
stitute as soil improver.
CANADA FIELD PEAS, at one
seventh the cost of clover, are one of
the best known ligumes that take Nj
trogen from the air and deposit it in the
soil and can either be used for hay or
turned under for a green manure. The
Canadian Field Pea does not thrive in
extremely hot weather, but if sown
early will produce good and bountiful
crop wherever the conditions are also
favorable for the growing of oats.
Field Pies, either sown alone or with
oats, have long been recognized as one
of the best feeding and fattening for
age crops for young stock and hogs, to
carry them during the midsummer and
droughty period of July and August.
When sown alone they should be han
died the same as any small grain crop
and drilled at the rate of two and one
half bushels per acre. When mixed
with oats one-half the quantity, name
ly, one and one quarter bushels per acre
to the same quantity of oats is suf
ficient. The time of sowing corresponds
with that of cat seeding. AS peas are
naturally hardy and not endangered by
late frosts, the earlier the crop can b.
gotten into the ground the better
Early seeding brings the crop into
maturity and ready for feeding before
the hot days of July and August. A pc;
crop, if sown as soon in spring as tn,
ground is ready to pow, may be ready
for feeding as early as the goth to 25tl
of June. Usually, however, it is avail
able the first half of July.

sition in this section to the barge ter
minal grab, the Burlington Free Press
intimates that the state should stop
paying money for the support Of the in
sane at the Brattleboro Retreat and
care for them at the state hospital at
Waterbury, pointing out that the
amount paid the local institution by the
state during the last biennial period
amounted to $123,s65.93. The Free

evidence to show that the state could
take care of these patients any cheap

Discussion of the desirability of the
Hooker lot at the corner of Main and
High streets as site of the proposed
community building has been revived
during the past week by reports that
one and perhaps two garages are to
lie built on the property. That this is
the intention of the landowners is sub
Stimulated by the work that already
has been started toward removing the
trees that for so many years have
beautified the Hooker homestead and
added to the dignity and attraetives
ness of upper Main street. Few can see
these venerable landmarks yielding to
the ruthless hand of commerce without
experiencing sensations similar to those
aroused by the passing of some sturdy
citizen. Yet the desirability of pre-
serving khe Hooker 3eorner is a ques
ton not identical with the community

General Mangin, selected to lead the

fighting in the late war made him world

swift was his promotion, he was in
command of division. And from that
day until the cessation of hostilities his
work was as brilliant as it was success

While The Meddler has heard nau2ht
but regret at the passing Of the Hooker
homestead there seems to be a wide di-
vision of opinions as TO the wisdom,
even if it were possibility, of locating
a community building on its site. Judg-
ing by what a portion of the property
is reported to have sold for, it is I'M
reasonable to assume that the entire
lot could be acquired for less than $40,-
600 at the least. and there is serious
question whether any community house
project involving the expenditure of
that amount for a site alone could com
mand sufficient financial support to
make II feasible Furthermore, there
are not lacking people who are firmly
convinced that building of this sort
should not be located in the very cen
ter of the business district but fan
enough from Main street so that suffi-
cient land for at least some outdoor ac
tivity would be possible. As to the
proposal that the town acquire The
Hooker property and hold it for a pub
lie park it would probably fail of en-
| dorsement by anything like a majority
of the voters on the ground Of expense
