SNOW COVERS
VERMONT EXCEPT
IN THIS CORNER
Bennington and Pownal Only
Towns Without Sleighing
18-INCH FALL IN BARRE
Eight Inches In Rutland and All
Northern and Eastern Sections
Are Buried.

Bennington and Pownal appear to
be the only towns in Vermont without
sleighing today. Even in Shaftsbury
the slelghing is good and SALISBURY
people who started for Bennington in
sleighs were surprised to find that the
snow belt Of yesterdays storm did not
do its full duty at this corner Of the
state.
In northern Vermont it started to
snow Sunday and has kept at 1t much
OF the time since. In Barre and St.
Johnsbury there was 1S-inches Of
snow yesterday morning and 1t was
still falling at intervals. Rutland last
night reported eight inches and there
was 10 inches in st. Albans.
Considerable snow fell in BenninR-
ton but II was preceded by SO much
rain that II did not stay in the roads
though the fields are white. Going
east into the mountains there is snow
N places to almost block the roads.
The big transform yesterday did
more damage than at first appeared.
No bridges went out but several were
weakened in the abutments. The
rainbow bridge over the depot pond
was in danger for several hours and
Is not yet considered safe.
Wire service all over New England
Is badly crippled and thousands of
telephones are out Of commission. In
many p aces the wet snow froze to the
wires and It will take several days to
repair the damage
In the logging camps there is snow
enough to start hauling.
