RAILROAD BILL
to Confer with Senator Duniam

In a meeting of the board of directors
OF the Chamber of Commerce held in the
rooms at ; o'clock yesterday afternoon to
see what action the Chamber would take
in regard to the bill now pending III the
legislature concerning the possible discon-
tinuance of street railways If they do not
pay a fair return. committee consisting
of f. Ii. Crane. Verne III. Winchester and
Z. G. Adams was named to ask Senator
Dunham and Representative Barber to
use their influence against the bill in case
it seemed that its passage would bring
about any change in the local street rail
way. As it stands the Brattleboro inter-
ests of the Twin State Gas & Electric Co.
are operated as a unit and it appears that
BrattleborO people in general are satisfied
to continue TO pay slightly higher rates
for gas and electricity than they otherwise
would that the railroad may be continued
in operation.
Manager w. Fl. Richardson of the Twin
State Gas & Electric Co. was present at
the opening of the meeting and stated that
the company was in no way responsible

The answer will vary according to
the commodity. but the percentage of

Attorney +. W. Gibson having received
no less than six such complaints within

Guiding the uncertainty of the identity

bor III the county Jail at Newfane, but
the Jail sentence was suspended and the
young man was placed on probation un-
til further order Of the court.
Judge Cudworth stated that the boy ;

suspended sentence would be enforced,
and that if the offense was repeated
counsel would have difficulty in securing
leniency for him.
States Attorney Gibson stated that
considerable trouble had been experl-
cnced from young men coming from Bel
lows Falls and North Walpole and fol-
lowing and insulting girls and taking
