HOUSE Rejects
CHARTER PLAN
Mr.. Button Explains Village

ant Judges
WOULD BE MORE
EXPENSIVE WAY

That IS Why Commissioners Took Mat
ter of Extending Limits to Legislature
Were Well Acquainted with Pro-
visions of Statutes.
After Judge Button of NIiddlebury had
explained in the house of representatives
yesterday afternoon that any village could
get an extension of territory by petition
TO an assistant judge of the county the
house killed the senate bill which provided
for the extension of the .Brattleboro vii
lage limits by taking in the territory be-
tween the. village and West Brattleboro
fire district provided the voters in that
territory voted favorably ON the proposal.
This brings to naught the efforts made
thus far looking to the extension of the
village boundaries, but the other way is
open. although it is more expensive
process. Whether any further effort will
be made cannot be stated at present, but il
is not unlikely that at the coming annual
village meeting steps viii be takca under
the statutory provision. -
The senate voted favorably on the bill,
and it was not anticipated that there
would be any trouble getting 1t through the
house as there was a referendum clause
attached making it imperative until a
majority Of voters in the territory sought
to be annexed had voted favorably. Rep
rcesntative Button was the principal
speaker in opposition to the bill, his rea-
son being as above stated.
The Brattleb0ro village commissioners
had full knowledge of the statutes cover
ing the extension of the village lines, but
felt that an amendment TO the village char
ter with referendum attached would be
the simplest and least expensive method.
Sections 412S to 4133 of the public
statutes provide for the annexation of adj
jacent territory to villages. They provide
that the commissioners or trustees of an
judge of the county court to have commits
sioners appointed TO determine the adviSa-
bility of enlarging the limits Of the village,
aud thereupOn the judge shall appoint
three disinterested freeholderS, who shall
hear the parties interested and decide
whether such enlargement Is advisable
If they decide in favor of an enlargement
they shall fix the bounds and appoint u
time and place when persons in the ter
ritory to be annexed shall vote on the queS-
ton If the vote is favorable the village
commissioners viii then call a village
meeting to vote on the question of whether
the territory shall be annexed. and if they
vote fayorably the vote shall be recorded
in the town clerks Office and from that
date the outside territory involved becomes
part of the village.
IL is evident from these statutes that if
any of the above named bodies votes un-
fayorably there can be no annexation.

Bean Failure Causes
Labor Surplus; Hops
To Give 1000 Work

Failure of the bean crop here
has caused a shortage Of work
which probably will continue for
at least 20 days. During that time
there will be scores of men out OF
employment in Salem.
Picking of hops and evergreen
blackberries, which will begin
about September 5, will take care
Of this shortage, according n Po-
lice Judge Earl Race, who con-
duets free employment agency
in the city hall. The labor sur
plus, now felt here, is not serious,
he says. Most of the men who are
turned away without jobs are
transients who make their way
Immediately to other cities. But
few of the jobless are residents of
the city.
This year the evergreen black
berries and hops will be picked at
the same time and fully 1000 men
will be needed to take care of this
work. Judge Race estimated.

western Canada. Every farm house
regardless of location, is to be with
in easy distance of hospital doc
tor or Red Cross nurse. New set

adian National railways, are TO

case of Illness.
The movement had its inception
in Saskatchewan. Through coop

and the provincial board of health
adequate funds, nurses and doctors
have been provided. Small outpost
hospitals under supervision OF
qualified attendants already have
been established at points not pre-
viously close to medical facilities.

Titanic DirigibIe ZR-2,

Worlds Greatest Ship

Built by the British for this
country, the RIBS will be rechrist-
ened the ZR-2, when the formal
transfer takes place.
1.-The Dreadnaught of the Air"
as the RIBS has been termed, like
her famous namesake, marks an
epoch in the design and construc
tion of lighter-than-air aircraft.
She will carry fourteen Lewis au-
tomato rifles, four bombs of $40
pounds and eight bombs of 23G
pounds. At her cruising speed of
so miles an hour she will be capa-
BILE of $500 miles, while at full
speed of 70 miles an hour she will
be able to go 5000 miles without
refilling her fuel tanks.
Bristles With Guns.
The ship will bristle with Lewis
guns, distributed to afford a maxi
mum of protection against attack
from the air. One gun is mounted
on each of the four engine cars.
while a whole NEST" is located
aft, to protect the ships gasoline
tanks.
And should a hostile flyer dive
down from some enveloping cloud
an automatic one-pound gun
mounted atop the gas bag will
tackle the enemy.
With the armament of eight air
bombs the RIBS will be able to
destroy any submarine or smaller
war vessel whose path she crosses.
In view of the sinking of the for
mer German battleship Ostfries-
land by one-ton bombs dropped
from aeroplanes, it is not ilnpro'-
able that the big airboat will be
equipped with the larger bombs
on her arrival in the United States.
The R-3Ss heavy armament
gives the clue to her purpose. She
is intended TO serve only as a
fighting element, but, if necessery.
as the flagship for a mixed fleet
of surface and aircraft. The future
American admiral may not be con-
tent with conducting the engage
ment from the bridge of a sur
face battleship. Instead he will |
probably transfer his flag to the
