holds
John E. Simpson, manager of the
Eastern States exposition, Springfield
Mass, whose presence in Brattleboro
was very much appreciated and who
opened his talk with eulogisfic refer
ences to Brattleboro as a "health-re
storing city, outlined the program
for the 1920 Eastern States exposition
and brought out many important
points for the consideration of the
Berkshire breeders. Mr.. Simpson called
special attention to the fact that the
promoters of the Eastern States ex-
position were heart and soul back of
the farmer, the breeder of live stock
and the boys and girls clubs of New
England-no less sum than 100000
having been subscribed for the de-
velopment of the junior farmers and
livestock breeders of New England
and Eastern Canada.
George f. Gregory, manager of the
Purebred Live Stock Sales Co, Brattle-
bore, spoke a few words on the public
sale ring as an educational factor, in
the breeding of purebred live stock and
congratulated the Berkshire breeders
on the splendid progress they were MAX
ing.
Prior to the commencement of the
business session George S. Stockwell of
Boston, presented Mr.. Ortiz a mag
nifcent silver pitcher, suitably in
scribed, as a token of appreciation
from some of the members of the
Eastern Berkshire congress to Ga man
who had endeared himself to everyone
with whom he had come in contact -
Mr.. Stockwell paid tribute to the
sterling qualities and genial person
atty possessed by Mr.. Ortiz, who was
completely taken by surprise. Mr..
Ortiz acknowledged this demonstra-
ton of affection from his fellow mem
bers and assured them of his sincere
appreciation of the thoughts which ac-
companied the gift.
Following the roll call, Secretary
Richard Lake Faux of New London
Conn, announced that over 40 mem
bers were present and that the total
membership had now reached $50, a

REFUSES TO GIVE
UP PROPERTY
Springfield Selectman Retains Share of
Gravel Pit Said to Have Been
Bought for Town.
Especial to The Reformer.)

SPRINGFIELD, VT, March 3.
In the most largely attended town
meeting ever held here the. town man
ager system was adopted yesterday by
vote of $40 to III. Springfield is
the first town in the state to try that
system. 1t was voted to appropriate
S65, 900 to build new school house in
the vicinity of Summer street and $l0,-
600 for primary school on Seminary
hill.
Eversrd Stubbs was elected first Sc
leetman To succeed r. C. Allen of
North Springfield
Last summer the board of selectmen
bought a gravel pit at Chester bridge
in Charlestown, N. H.. for the town
of Springfield, paying for it $1,000. In
order not to call special town meet
ing to appropriate this money, the three
selectmen, +. G. Davis, f. B. Gill and
h. G.. Allen, each paid one third and
the pit was decided to them instead OF
to the town on the understanding that
they were to turn it over to the town
At the town meeting yesterday it was
voted to accept it, but Mr.. Davis re
fused to give up his share ON the
ground that it was not legal for thu
town to hold property in another state
for commercial purposes and that there
was more gravel in the pit than the
town could use in 100 years.
He was willing to give to the town
all the gravel it could use, but pro
posed to use the rest of it for his owr
benefit. He was very shortly qestioneC
at the town meeting when a voter
called upon him either to give the pi
to the town or resign his Office of Sc
lectman.
Mr.. Davis acknowledged that he haC
kept it to establish a cement bridge
industry for which he has ordered ma
chinery, and in manufacturing thest
bricks he proposed to take this grave
from the banks of his own farm. Th,
two selectmen have condemned this ac
tion.
Mr.. Allen and Mr. Dill came forwar,
and said that they were ready to Civ,
their share to the town at once 70
the same sum that they paid for il
The town voted to accept the gravel pi
and are awaiting the outcome of Nh
