County Once Had 26,5OO
URGES CURFEW LAW
SCHOOL TAX RAISED

The reelection of the Prudential
Committee governing Mddlebury
school matters, an increase in the
school tax from S5 cents to $l50, and
an urgent appeal by Rev T. J. Leon
ard for a "curfew law" were features
of the village meeting in the Town Hall
on Wednesday evening
After Prof Raymond Mcfarland
and JosephM. Burke had been elected
Moderator and Clerk respectively,
the annual report of the district was
voted approved Ira H. LaFleur,
chairman of the Prudential Committee
then argued for an incrase in the tax.
He recommended that the tax of So
cents of the past year be raisd to $l50
The higher costs warranted this, he
said. In pointing out that the sal
aries were conservative, he remarked
that Prof. A. S. Hartman, principal
OF the High School with a salary of
$1,000 had refused two offers of $4,000
elsewhere. Miss Helen Carrigan and
Miss Frances Warner too had preferred
to remain in Middlebury rather than
change at salary increases. He point
ed out that the local tax was one of
the very lowest in the state while the
school system was considered one of
the best. He completed his speech by
introducing the motion that the tax
be raised to Sl.50 The motion was
passed unanimously by the SO voters
present
The election of officers for the COM
ing year was next in order. A motion
to reinstate the old committee was Lb-
jected 20 and voting on the individual
candidates followed. Each name was
placed in nomination and reelection
was voted unanimously until Ira H.
LaFleur's name came before the meet
ing. Then it was that Dr. J. J. Ross
was named as opposition candidate. A
secret ballot was cast and Mr. LaFleur
was returned IS to 81
The committee as re-electd is made
up of DR.. p. L. Dorey, Rev. T ] Leon
ard, Ira H. LaFleur Charles E. Pinney
and DR.. H. L Averill Mr. Pinney was
elected trasurer and c. c. Wells was
chosen as auditor.
When the chair announced that
other business was in order, Mr.. La
Fleur spoke for the imposition of tax
OF five cents on the dollar to start a
Sinking Fund to pay off the standing
Indebtedness of the district. He for
mulated his suggestion in a motion
which the Chair ruled out of order.
Mr.. LaFleur was unable to obtain un-
animous consent for the consideration
OF his proposition.
Father Leonard, pastor of St. Marys
Roman Catholic Church and a member
of the Prudential Committee, then
asked for the floor and addressed the
meeting on what he termed a para
mount problem. He thought that
the district should not permit the ed
ucation of the children to cease when
they left the schoolhouse doors each
evening. A stricter guard should be
kept over THAR morals He cited the
incident observed on his way to the

Fell Through Trap Door

Earl A. Frost, proprietor of the Park
Drug Store, was injured about the
back and arms Monday morning when
he fell down the cellar stairs in his
pharmacy. Mr., Frost in coming from
the back room to wait upon a customer
did not notice that the trap door over
the cellar stairs was open. When he
turned to go behind the cigar counter
he fell the length of the stairs. AL
though no bones were broken, he re-
ceceived a severe shaking up and was
confined to his home for two days.

door, in order to get in a favorable
position to drive in, In one attempt
she backed into an ash pile just be-
hind the Beckwith Block, and there
stalled her engine In a second at
tempt, she flooded her engine with
gasoline so that it backed up rapidly,
and while doing so she turned her head
to get her bearings at the rear,
Realizing that she was then perilous-
ly close to the ledge, she started to
change gears. But the clutch was
stuck fast and she could not make
the change, Then it was that Mrs.
Liberty tried to back into a tree, hop
ing thus to save herself from the back
ward plunge, but the rear right wheel
had already gone over the edge, The
car was gone. 1t broke the small trees
in its path and tumbled down the
steep decline
Mrs. Liberty was thrown out of the
car and was precipitated into the deep
water Of the river eddy some seconds
before the machine landed an almost
complete wreck by the river edge. The
water into which she fell was seven
feet deep. but she plunged from such
height that she struck the sharp marble
slabs that clutter the Creek in that
section. When she came to the sur
face her face was Bleeding and her
body bruised. The fender of the car
also struck her when it landed in the
water, but did not render her uncon-
scious, as some reports had it. She
climbed upon the mudguard and wait
ed for the assistance that she saw
