The Meddler
II the coat fits you, pat it on

The Meddler can readily understand
the state of mind that drives people
TO criticism of the local highway depart
ment for apparent inability to cope
with weather conditions of the past
week. There is no doubt that the eIa-
ments have gotten the better of the sit
uation and that here in Brattleboro
folks have been forced to undergo I'M
usual dlscomforts especially those
whose duties have called them to travel
the highways in, out and around town.
But IS anyone to blame? The Meddler
has been giving a little thought to the
situation, at the same time taking note
OF the predicament in which other com
munities have found themselves. and
has come to the conclusion that the
fault doesn't rest with any individual
or set of individuals. Perhaps more
progress in breaking out roads and re-
moving accumulations of snow would
have been possible if the road commits
sioner had not been taken i'll immedi-
ately after the big storm of last week.
but the real cause Of the trouble was
more snow than the town 5 available
supply of men and teams has been able
to cope with.

1t is easy to say that teams enough

but unfortunately that is not the case.
as many who have had occasion to try
to hire them within the past week can
testify. And even if there were enough
teams it is extremely doubtful whether
sufficient men could be found to make
it possible to use them. At present
labor is extremely scarce here as it is
everywhere else, and the greatest
scarcity exists in that class on which we
depend for outdoor work. So far as
the Meddler can determine such men
and teams as have been available have
been busy from morning until night
every day since the storm. Whether they
have tackled the work in the order of
