AGAINST CHANGE
OF STREET NAME
Counter Petition Started by
Some of Residents of
Canal St.
OBJECTIONS FROM
FORMER PETITION
Letters to The Reformer from Persons
Who Have Become Interested-Prin-
cipal Thoroughfare in New Orleans Is
Named Canal Street.

The latest development in the situa-
tion regarding the proposed change in the
name of Canal street is the circulation of
petition asking for signatures of resi-
dent and property owners who are op-
posed to the change, and large number
of signers already have been obtained.
1t also is understood. that several who
previously had signed the petition, which
was started Wednesday evening follow
ing the meeting, asking to have the name
of the street changed will request that
their signatures be struck from that peti-
ton, they having decided to support the
petition which is opposed to having the
I>lame of SO good and SO old street cast
aside.
Since the meeting Wednesday evening
when warm discussion arose and when
some sarcastic remarks were forthcom-
ing from persons interested in both sides
of the question, much discussion has been
heard about the streets, the majority OF
the expressions being in opposition te
such change, and these expressions are
based on the knowledge that undesirable
sections in many other places can be
found where the streets bear the same
names of many of the prettiest residen
/ tial streets of Brattleboro.

BIG THOROUGHFARE
CALLED CANAL ST.
New Orleans Street, Four Times as Wide
as Main Street Here, in Fine
Residence Section.

Editor of The Reformer:-
The question of the change of name
of Canal street brings to my mind an
other street of that name. The big
business thoroughfare of New Orleans,
fully four times as wide as our Main
street. is called Canal street, and separ-
ates the old French town of two cen.
turies ago from the new city, which has
spread over a territory only second
to New York city in extent of all our
American cities.
At the foot of Canal street are the
great docks loaded with cotton bales
and sacks of rice, most interesting
sight. The other direction of Cana
street through the shopping region ex
tends five miles through a fine residence
section with a green park through The
center of the street where the electric,
pass under stately row of palmettos.

WHY NOT BERNARDsToN AVE?
Suggestion That Canal Street Have an
Appropriate Name.

Editor of The Reformer:-
While | have seen no sound or con-
vincing reason expressed for the chang
ing of the name of Canal street, the
subject although a trivial one.sis still
open to discussion. Presumably the
name Canal was given to the now ma
ligned thoroughfare because it bordered
the canal. The old fashioned name was
given to it by cid fashioned people
years ago but I sometimes wonder
whether or not their characteristics
were not equal to some of the up-to-
date exponents.
Should caprice prevail may we not ex-
pect to have other established but. mis-
leading names changed; for instance
Milestone brooke 1t seems that the
theory of some of those opposed to Ca
nal is that it suggests water, therefore
if. it must be renamed, why not in Sc
lecting new name follow the prece
dent already established by the Putnes
Road, Hinsdale Road or Vernon RoaC
and call it Bemardston roadl There il
no hint of any water in such name
Fuller avenue might answer as make
shift but after July 1st would it be ap
propriate9

INCREASE OF BILLION
IN FIFTEEN MONTHS
New Advance Affects Engineers, Fore
men and Trainnen Who Are Mem
bers of the Big -Four Brotherhood
Average Advance per Man S160.

WASHINGTON, April 1I-Wage ad-
vances aggregating s550oo,0oo were ordered
today by Director General Hines for 400,
900 railroad engineers, fireman, trainmen
and conductors in both passenger and
freight service, members of the Big Four
railway brotherhood, retroactive since
Jan. /, 1919.
The increases were arranged according
to contemplated schedule. The average
advance in pay per man per year will be
about $3.50. This action practically COM
pletes the war cycle of wage increases
granted railroad men siaee the govern
ment took over the management of the
roads 10 months ago. Including today 5
order the aggregate pay increases al
lowed by the administration to 2,NO,000
railroad employees is at the rate of s822,-
3ll 900 year, more than s40a average per
man. Thus the total payroll for America :
railroads is raised nearly to $4,000, ,000,0 ,0Oo
year from the basis of approximately
81, 600 600 when the roads passed into
government hands.

AGAINST PROPOSAL OF
THOMPSON TRUSTEES
Rhinebeck Paper Says Entire Income
Should be Spent in Two Towns
Named in the Will.

The attitude of the people of Rhine
beck, n. Y, toward the administration
OF the Thompson fund by the present
trustees is reflected in the following
editorial from the Rhinebeck Gazette:
The action of the trustees in ap-
plying to the courts of Massachusetts
for an Interpretation of the provisions
of the will of Thomas Thompson and
the decree of the court, brings to pub
lie notice by publication of the same
in another column of The Gazette the
facts relative TO this trust, which were
known to but few people of Rhine
beck. In fact, it is surprising how lit
tie is known of the trust or its opera
tion by this community, for this is
the first time the trustees have really
taken the people of Rhinebeck into
their confidence.
We do not question the honesty of
opinion or sincerity of purpose of Mr..
Bradley or his co-trustee, but we do
feel that their knowledge of the Rhine
beck situation is to a certain extent
superficial and gathered through soure-
es which have failed to discover the
true character of this community,
which can not be demoralized by any
expenditures of the Thompson fund or
of any wealthy citizen. In our opinion,
| one of the reasons which have been re-
sponsible for so little being known of
| the trust s workings is that the owner
| ship of the local institution is vested
wholly and absolutely in the trustees
and that its operation is virtually di
rected and controlled from Boston
| A Of /, ha
pie have largely felt that the use OF
the institution was not theirs by right
| but by sufferanee. The matter before
| the court also shows by what a slen
| der thread the actual existence of tn,
local institution hangs.
/ 1--WE agree with Mr.. Bradley that i
is cf prime Importance that this mat
ter should be settled beyond the shad
ow of doubt, so that all future mis-
understandings may cease. The ques
tion, therefore, is squarely before TIL
court as to whether the whole ineom
shall be expended in Brattleboro an,
Rhinebeck as proportioned by the de
cree or whether the trustees shall hav
the power to expend, wherever the
may see fit, the amount remaining aft
er the direct beneficiaries have been ia
ken care of.
. We believe the testator's $ desires ca
best be realized by expending the flu
amount in respective communities
the trustees or courts will allow a
efficient local organization to become t
: some degree responsible for the polio
of administration. The value of hay
ing the people of Rhinebeek fully IL
formed as TO this trust can not be owe
estimated.

NO NEW REPORTS
ON U. S. MUTINY
Officers Loath to Believe That Soldiers,
Who Were Unseasoned, Will
Continue to Rebel

WASHINGTON, April n.-There were
no additionl reports at the war depart
ment early today ON the situation at
Archangel, where a company of American
troops fefused to obey orders to entrain
for the fighting line until appealed to by
their regimental commander. Absence of
news was regarded as a favorable sign.
The units at Arehangel are not seasoned
soldiers. They are selective service men.
In the past they have shown high morale.
Even now, officers argue, the mutinous
company probably would show an imme-
date change of heart if general attack
on the Bolsheviki was undertaken. No
uneasiness is felt concerning the Ameri-
can contingent in Siberia, which is large
" composed of old-time units
