Roads and Vistas
III. L. Hindley in Rutland Herald

CH L. Hindley in Rutland Herald
Outside OF Rutland county, where
such views are wayfaring common
places, there are at least three gorgeou,
vistas between Rutland and Burlington
which are comparable with anything
in the world
Two of these almost literally burst
upon the observer on the south bound
trip-one from the turn of the hill al
Charlotte and one from Chapman hill il
Middlebury. In fact, the view from
Chapman hill looking north or south
is almost beyond description To the
north, there is the Champlain valley
in all its varied beauty; to the south
the marvels of the Otter Creek valley
unrivalled anywhere.
With the brilliant autumn foliage
mellowing into mulberry, russell, gray
and brown shades, all Of these view.
are well worth a stop and a good long
look, especially from Chapman hill
north.
AS to good roads; Though done late
the state work in Salisbury, Middle
bury and Charlotte is beginning to
show. There are good roads in Pitts
ford, Brandon and Leicester the lat
ter passing into the wash-board stage
Ferrisburg and Shelburne roads are
not bad, New Haven and Waltham
roads are better than they were bet
ter than they have been for several
years.
All in all, the big boulevard between
the two principal cities of the state
Burlington and Rutland is in fair
condition, and it will be better next
year il present plans materialize.
Just in passing, it did me good to
see Willis n Cady of Middlebury SUI
pervising a piece of gravel work, roll
ed in wet with a steam roller. Unless
some fearful cataclysm hits that road,
it will probably be quite spell before
it gets a wash-board surface.
I'd like to see four or five stone
crushers and road rollers at work on
Vermont roads next summer

THE LIBRARY SITE
An Interested Reader Suggests
Practical Economy


Editor of The Register: Sir,
In a recent issue of your paper |
noted that the question of a site for
the new Ilsley Memorial Library has
not yet been settled Will you allow
me to suggest that in these days of the
high cost OF building materials and
labor, that the $4,000 available through
Mr.. and Mrs. Ilsleys gift will do much
less than it would have done several
years ago in providing suitable build
ing. Every cent of the sum named will
surely be required, and probably the
village will be called upon to add to
that sum before the work is finished
We shall then have a fine establish
ment but without funds to maintain
it efficiently as a public library should
be.
I am sure Mr. and Mrs Ilsley wish
the village to make the best possible
use OF the money they have giventi E.,
to provide Middlebury with the best
possible library facilities. If all the
money is put into a building, it will
be a comparatively modest structure
at the present basis of costs; and moth
ing will be left to proceed on for the
conduct of the library. 1t has occurred
to me that the Federation Building on
Main street, which believe could be
purchased, would make an excellent
site for the library. The old building
standing there is in such shape that it
could be remodeled for library Dur-
poses, the old wooden structures at the
rear removed and brick annex to
the other portion could be added The
Federation Building is really splendid
old structure, typical OF old Middle
bury and her traditions and $4,000
would do wonders with the place. There
would then be available a considerable
sum to successfully launch good library
service, and that, surely, is what the
donors of the gift wish most to do A
well-paid librarian, and active work in
interesting the public in good reading
is all proper part of library work
1t would interest me and | believe
many others who feel strongly for the
welfare of the library, if the committee
would learn Mrs. Ilsley's wishes in con-
nection with this proposal Surely
nothing should.bs done contrary to her
views, but the remodeling OF the Fede-
ration Building seems such a practical
solution of the problem that it would
seem that it would appeal to both Mrs
Ilsley and the late Colonel, if his wishes
also could be known.
The location is one which would be
particularly convenient for the high
and graded school teachers and stu
dents, and not announcement for the
villagers at large.
Sincerely yours,
o. ST.
The Register invites other readers to
make use of these columns for discus
sion of this question OF site for the
new library.

FIRE INSURANCE

The cost of building mater
ial and labor is nearly twice
what it was a few years ago,
and many of the buildings
erected under the old prices
are worth more than when
they were new.
Compare the amount of
your insurance with the cost
OF reproduction, and see where
fire loss would leave you.
If your policies include the
so per cent reduced rate
clause, in case of partial loss
you would receive only such
part as the amount of your
insurance bears to $40 of the
cost OF reproducing the whole
building.
Meanwhile, the cost of in
surance has not increased and
l can furnish you additional
protection at the old rates,
stock, dividend or mutual
plan.

Bonds, Auto Fire and Liabil-
ity, Residence and Mercantile

VEAUX, France, January IL
youngster Of his own back home, a
baby that he has never seen, that
Lieutenant A. J. Manning, OF Allan
ia, has taken such q fancy to Red.
It's pretty hard being a father in
France at best, when your chief OF
scouts is three thousand miles away!
and when you haven't even set your
eyes on the little beggar-well,
what's a chap going to do to feel
fatherly> and all that?
Lieutenant Manning found way,
however. He adopted Red. And
now when the paternal instinct SIM
ply will not be subdued, he goes
out and buys Red a new pail :, OF
shoes or spanks him or something.
Red is one of the numerous mas
cots of the A. E. f. you will find
in nearly any village IN france
where troops are located. It's against
the regulations, of course, but how
in thunder are you going to regulate
the warm hearts Of two million Yam
nee lads when they see these little
French kiddieS wandering around like
lost puppies?
Red was wandering just that way.
1t was up in the Saint Mihlel, away
back there in August. The quarter,
master corps of the Eighty-second
division was billeted in BourmOnt
and Lieutenant Manning, who is dis
bursting officer for the division, was
pretty busy just about that time.
Anybody would be who is in charge
of a payroll that aggregates mil
lion and half dollars-dollars. not
francs-a month. That's Lieutenant
Mannings job, and those who knew
him back in the old Fifth Regiment
days, when he was refusing COM
missions right and left so he
could help Captain Sam Cronheim
run his supply company properly
would know that he was on the job.
He is. The last time the ghost
walked in the Eighty-second, Lieu
tenant Manning and his staff paid
off the entire division in eleven days.

the wealth produced. He said he
foresaw great changes taking place

changes in Great Britain would be
accomplished peaceably. The work
ers, Thomas declared, are determin-
ed TO have shoTter hours, and gov
eminent ownership Of mones and
railways.
Labor Minister Horne, addressing
the congress, referred to the remark
able character and significance of the
gathering and provided special at
tention to women's wages and reduc-
ton in the cost Of food, but declar-
ed the government Goes not favor
naturalization of factories.
