mcnt. at the arrival of some Of th'
ships from France, with Vermont boy
on them, came home Sunday morn
ing. This docs not mean that Yer

ficer Of the Vermont boys, is the head
Of an organization which will greet
the boys and bring them the comforts
possible until they are discharged.
General Johnson while he was in
Boston met her and she seems to have
the matter well in hand. She will
need little assistance, and the mat
ter has been taken up with j. G.
Brown, secretary of Vermont Public
Safety Committee. General Johnson
is also taking the matter up with the
boards of trade in the communities
from which the Vermont boys who
composed the 101st ammunition train
(7l3 out of GIG in number) went to
the war. This will be financial as
sistance and it is anticipated that the

RESULT OF ADJOURNED
TOWN MEETING.

The adjourned town meeting was
held on Tuesday, April Sth at ten a. m.
and A. Il. Marsden was chosen Mod
orator protein.
There was not much work TO be
done inasmuch as the greater part Of
the business was transacted at the
time of the regular meeting in March.
The main reason for the adjourning
of the meeting to this date was to be
able TO know what tax was to be
levied by the State. The following is
the tax as voted:

LEGISLATURE IN LAST LAP.
Both Houses Hustling the Work be-
fore Them. Gov. Clement Sends in
More Vetoes and is Sustained.


i More Vetoes and is Sustained.
MISUNDERSTANDING embers of
disagreement between Governor p. w
! Clement and the Senate of the General
Assembly broke into fame in the Sen
tate chamber Monday evening, and de-
fvcioped into conhagration which car
ried everything before it. Senator
Payne introduced q new bill, S. 1913,
which provides that all Offices required
by law to be filled by appointment by
the governor biennally in the month of
January with the advice and consent
of the Senate, that were not filled and
confirmed by the Senate during the
present session of the Legislature prior
% March l, 1919, shall be filled by
election by the General Assembly in
joint assembly at such time as the
General Assembly may by joint reso-
ution prescribe. Under suspension Of
the rules, this bill was put through
the various stages of legislation and
passed.
Terminal Bills Vetoed.
Governor Clement has vetoed both
barge terminal measures, H. 1879 and
Fl. 207. His veto message came TO the
House Friday morning. His chief rea-
sons given for the veto are the con-
dition Of the State finances on account
of heavy expenditures at this time,
and the fact that there are no barges
in sight for carrying products, in case
the terminal were built. He also
states that he does not think this is
the proper time to advance upon
project of this nature, and that it
would be better TO wait until the
"narrows" of Lake Champlain are
really widened.
II. 1879, the second measure vetoed,
the city of Burlington to
issue bonds for the purpose Of aiding
the State in the construction Of the
barge terminal and would be without
if the terminal bill, itself,
was defeated.
A Third Veto.
The governor also returned to the
Senate, without his signature, S. 50,
that the Public Service
Commission may initiate proceedings
for the alteration Of railroad grade
crossings. The reason given for this
veto Is that the Public Service Com
exercises quasi-judicial func-
ions and for all practical purposes in
he elimination of grade crossings it
sits as judicial tribunal to hear and
determine facts. The power TO initi-
ate proceedings, says the governor,
,ught not to be extended TO a body
before whom such proceedings must
If necessity be determined.

The ferry was made possible by the

About this time Dover. which had
been used as the British transit port
for the l. w. T. barge service, had to
be given up. 1t had become fnade-
quate for storage and railway re-
Quirements.
EARLY in 1916 It had become clear
. that /. w. T. requirements could not
be met at any then existing port. The
swamps on whcih Richborough now
lies were considered at Lloyd Georges
suggestion. A scheme was decided
upon for the construction Of a wharf
with railway access, etc, in the Stour.
In the summer OF 1915 a squad of
Royal Engineers was sent into the
swamp to peg out the site Of the
present port. On their heels came
civil and mechanical engineers in
ties due to the nature Of the ground.
