THE TOWNS BEST BOOSTER

Turning from sentiment to bust
ness, think of what great booster
the small town editor is for his town
and county. He is always on the
job. He never stops working for the
good of the business men, the farm
ers, the churches, the schools-for
every effort that will build up his
town and county.
You, Mr.. Merchant, are you CIV
ing your hard working local editor
the cooperation he deserves? He
is trying to keep the trade of all
the folks right in your town. Yon
are leader. Work with him for the
good of the whole community.
Give him better support and he
will get out better paper. Take
his advertising advice-and he will
make your advertising better adver-
Using.

WATERBURY,

The Pierian club and Hypata club
were delightfully."- entertained Friday aft
ernoon at the home of Mrs. J. B. FL
redge, when Miss Marion Gary, field sec
rotary of the Y. W. c, A., gave an in.
teresting address, telling about the work
and plans for the future. Plans for the
girls conference in Rutland and smaller
girls camps were outlined.
The large team of Z, K. Towne, large
black horses, became frightened at the
mill of Edwards & Edwards the other
day and ran with their load of lumber
directly into the river Help quickly
gathered and they were rescued and were
none the worse for it the next day. Mr.
Towne appreciates the assistance given
him at the time.
Lewis WEIGH, who was driving the
Crossett team of large white horses, just
at the approach to the covered bridge on
the Duxbury side, was struck by the
tale auto truck and received bruises on
head, leg and arm. One of the horses
was frightened, but no serious damage
was done the team.

Throwing Away Property.

The Brattleboro Reformer deplores the
proposition to throw away the money
invested in the Vail school and the house
Of correction. The state has no money
invested at Lyndon except such as has
been put into upkeep, and Mr. Vail esti-
mates the depreciation Of the property
at $4,000, As to the house of correction
there is no proposition made by anyone
or embodied in any bill to throw away
anything Where does The Reformer
gets its information Rutland Herald.
We have been told by a member of
the legislative committee who visited
the house Of correction and the state
prison that the house of correction could
not be constructed to-day for less than
$3.50 900 and that the best price the state
could get for the property, should it de-
eide to abandon it, is about $4,000. The
county Of Rutland has a $4,000 equity
in the plant, having contributed that
amount towards its construction for the
right to use the buildings for a county
Jail. To realize only $4,000 for a $780,
900 property looks to us like throwing
away valuable state property.
The bill introduced in the Senate Civ
ing the director of state institutions au-
thority to dispose of the property of
the state at Rutland used and occupied
by the house of correction" places no
limit whatever on the price to be ac-
Cepted for the same II seems to us
dangerous to offer state property for
sale upon such terms. The state should
fix a minimum price at which such a
disposal can be made
We have noted the statements Of Sen
ator Morgan. former superintendent of
the house of correction, regarding the
opportunity to dispose of this property,
also regarding the advantages of having
all criminals confined in one institution.
He is competent authority to discuss this
question and his statements should be
given fair consideration, 1t may be al
lowable, however, before authorizing the
sale of this property, to inquire if there
is any demand for building lots in Rut
land to-day? Is the states property To-
Gated where building would naturally be
done or is it outside of the most desir
able building locations!
We do not say that consolidation of
the house of correction and state prison
is not desirable. We simply want the
cost and advantages carefully considered
before we commit ourselves to pro
ject of disposing Of such valuable prop
erty for such a small net return.
We hope to say something regarding
the proposed abandonment of the Vail
school of agriculture in a later ISSUE
Brattleboro Reformer.

The Grand Trunk Receivership.

Appointment of a receiver for the
Grand Trunk Pacific indicates that the
next step in Canada's railway policy
must soon be taken. There is a demand
for government purchase of this road
and also of the Grand Trunk, and this is
believed to be the plan favored by the
present administration. As regards the
Grand Trunk Pacific at least, nationali-
cation or a government loan seems to be
inevitable As the road is facing the
prospect of a number of years in which
it cannot meet its fixed charges, one
loan would have to be followed by 9th
ers 1t is a new line which penetrates
an undeyeloped country, and its chances
of prosperity lie long way to the fu-
ture. Some years ago the project of
constructing the road was adversely crit
icized by conservatives, and the manner
of construction was held to be wastefu:
but at present those conservatives who
fear that sooner or later naturalization
will overtake the Canadian Pacific, if it
now takes hold of the Grand Trunk Pa
cifc and the Grand Trunk, are not
dwelling on the political phase Of the
Question.--Springfeld Republic.

Temptation Resisted.

The House of Representatives at
Montpelier did a commendable thing
when it killed beyond resurrection the
bill raising the pay of the members of
the legislature. In a legislature, the
same as in factory or on farm, there
are always some dissatifed with the pay
they are getting They are disturbing
element demanding a hearing at the ex-
pense Of their regular work and the eff
cheney Of their fellow labOrers This SEES
sion they absorbed an unusual amount
of time but to no profit to themselves.
Perhaps they were Of some profit to the
state because they brought out the
rugged honesty and economical spirit of
such a large majority of the House.
These men were able to resist the temp
tation to benefit themselves at the ex-
pense of the state.
The demonstration Of such honesty
and honor gives the people greater con
fidence in their legislation. II is a prom
Use Of careful consideration of all schemes
that will increase the expenses Of the
state and the burden of the tax payers.
Everyone will feel confident now that
only expenses of merit will be author
lied by the present legislature and that
the business of the session will be fin
ished as eXpeditiously as possible. Even
the men who voted for the boost in pay
should be anxious to complete the work
of the session, because the quicker it
is done the quicker will they be relieved
of the annoyance of working for under
ay.-BrattlebOrO Reformer.
