Heaviest Taxpayers Want
Road Commissioner
to Stay Here
is EXPECTED HOME
FROM BOSTON TODAY
Lack of Unanimity in Board of Select
men One of Reasons Why He Handed
In Resignation Has Support of
Bulk of the People.

No effort viii be spared when Road
Commissioner Charles J. DUDE returns
from Boston today to induce him to re-
main for the rest of the year in the
office of road commissioner, to which
he was appointed by the selectmen last
week, following the action of the voters
in town meeting authorizing the board
of selectmen 10 fill the Office bv an
pointment
There was general surprise among
the tOwnspeOple interested when The
Reformer announced Monday afternoon
that Mr.. DUDE that afternoon had pre
sented his resignation to Selectman A.
ID. Wyatt, clerk of the board. While
it was known that Mr.. Dube had on
portunities to go elsewhere and receive
more compensation than he is reeeiy-
ing here, it was felt that he preferred
, to stay here, else he would not have
been open for reappointment.
His statement, therefore, that Per.
sonaf reasons entered largely into his
decision TO resign, naturally led to
| queries as to what those reasons were
and it develops that there was not
unanimity of sentiment on the part of
the members of the board of selectmen
| IN favor of re-engaging Mr.. Dube.
| Chairman s. A. Richmond being the dis
senting member, although Mr.. Richmond
always has commended Mr.. Dube 3
work very highly and has said that
Mr. DUDE s system of keeping the road
accounts and of looking after the high
way department excelled that of any
other road commissioner he has ever
| known
Shortly after rendering his resigna-
tion Mr.. DUDE went to Boston to inves-
tigate an opening there, intending to
return last night. but a telegram from
him stated that he could not get here
until today.
Since he went away some of the
heaviest taxpayers in town and some
| others equally interested have been to
the selectmen S office and urged that
every possible effort be made to induce
Mr.. DUDE to stay out his year. He is
known to be a thoroughly efficient road
| expert, but the conditions have been
such since he came here last fall that
ne has had no opportunity to do much
except emergency work.
1t is hoped that Mr. Dube can be
made to realize that the selectmen as
a board and the public in general want
him to stay and will give him their
support.

John Avery of Montpelier in Festival
hall. All the Brattleboro listers were
present.
Printed copies of the tax laws were
distributed, and the commissioner took
up section by section the inventory
blank and explained them all The talk
was of value more especially to the
new listers, but one point which was
not generally understood was that in
appraising a manufacturing plant the
machinery which it contains should be
appraised with the real estate, provid-
ed they belong to the same owner, in
stead of being appraised separately as
is done when the machinery and the
real estate are under separate owner

Many Clashes Renorted.

PARIS, March II (Hayasl Fifty nine
persons have been killed and upwards of
100 wounded in disorders at Treves in the
American zone of occupation southwest
of Coblenz, according to adviees received
here. Revised figures of the casualties in
the fighting at Dresden are said to show
that more than 100 were killed and 300

The news that came through during
the night from Berlin and other German
points telling of sanguinary clashes at
Essen, Leipsic, Frankfort, together with
a report that a council of workmen had
assumed power at Chemnitz, has given
the impression here that there is more to
be feared from revival of the Spartacan
movement than from the activities of
the kapp government in Berlin.

military movement has resulted in blood
shed in u German towns. The Sparta
