VILLAGE EXPENSE
LAST YEAR WAS
$65,922.ll
Trustees Recommend Ap-
preparation of S62,5OO
for Next Year

According to the annual report
of the trustees it has cost $685.
05429 to keep st. Johnsbury on
the map for the past twelve
months. Of this net total
$2,13218 represents attachments,
thus leaving the net cash dis
bursement to be $65, 5,922.11. The
total appropriation was $4,000.
The distribution of this amount
in the several departments is Of
interest. $4,000 was appropriate
ed for highways and macadam
and $22,34793 was spent. Some
of the expense in this depart
ment is represented by resurfac-
ing of streets in various parts of
the town for which little over
2200 loads of crushed gravel was
used, and the resurfacing with
concrete on Main street from
Eastern Avenue to Church street
and on Railroad street from
Maple to the Elks Home, total
of 10,770 square yards.
Street lighting cost $80.91 less
than the $1,000 appropriated and
the fire department S442.48 more
than the $4,000 asked for. There
have been 102 alarms for fire dur
ing the year. $1,773.81 of the
$4,000 appropriated was spent in
the water works department.
The police department cost
S5,294.33, or $794.33 more than
appropriated. Seventy arrests
have been recorded in the year.
The police station has lodged 125
tramps. Sewers cost only $751.6S
of the $4,000 appropriated. $500
was available for arrears, but
! Only .$3.75 was spent. The park
department overrun the appropr'-
alton $144.05; stable was $142.06
over; sidewalks, S1547.54 over;
hydrants $3O5.50 less; general ac-
count S64340 less.
Of the $1,000 appropriated for
street oling, $2904.33 was expend-
ed but a credit of $1,143.50, mus
leaving the net expense as
S1,760.83; $1,000 was paid for
band concerts; special approprla-
ton, $86.58; rubbish, $444.
The treasurer's account shows
amount on hand and receipts for
the year to have been $124,S17.36.
The disbursements are $5,36o.43
less than that amount, represent
ed by cash on hand and in bank.
Of the $55, ,l74,17 tax bill this
year, 97.49 per cent has been
collected to the treasurer.
The trustees estimated eX-
pense for the coming year and re-
commended total Appropriation IS
S63, 800, in place of $4,000 last
year. The difference is in the
following departments: high
ways and permanent improve
ments, $1,000 more; sewers, $oOc,
less; parks, 500 more; hydrants,
$500, less; arrears, $500, less;
sidewalks, $1,000, more; band con-
ccrta, $500 less.

Eggs Lower AS
Poultry Prices Rise

The sharp tumble in egg values
and slight gain in poultry prices
previous to the holiday demand
have been the only features of the
week. Hens are laying heavily al
through the country and fresh
eggs are starting to market earlier
than usual. Nearby eggs broke
from 75c down to Csc, western
fresh from &c down to 53c and
storage dropped to 38c. Buyers
have started after poultry for the
holiday and are paying big prices
for the few turkeys in so far, most
by sales of westerns at 55-58c
and northern up to Csc. But the
market does not appear firm and
may ease off a little next week.
Large chickens are firmer at 40
42c, fours and large fowl at 35-36c,
smaller sizes at 30-34c.
Butter has been irregular in
quality and nrice. the finest gain
ing 1c to 45c for tubs, and the
poorer grades going down little
to 38-42c.
Cheese has not had any new fea-
lures, holding the same at 22c for
fresh and 24c for fine cured twins
and Americas.
The trading in in fruits and veg
ctables were generally dull, with
very slight downward tendency on
several lines.
Aroostook County potatoes gain
ed nickel and lost it a"ain, clos
ing at $1.5-1.95 per 100 lb. sack
for green mountains, and $1.S0-
1.SF for Spaulding rose.
The dressed beef market week
ened after Wednesday, closing Fri
day $2.50-3.00 per 100 lbs lower
than Monday, with a poor demand.
Strike at Western Packing Houses
hal little effect on supply. Today's
prices: Good steers $12.00-1300,
medium $11.00-1200 and common
$10.00-11.00 per lbs. Cows $3.50
1000 on common to good grades.
Receipts of dressed veal were light,
practically no fresh Westerns on
sale today; Brighton dressed $40.
O0-15.OO and country dressed $40
00-24.00 per 100 lbs. Dressed lamb
market easier, bulk of sales today
S25. 5.00-26.00 on better grades. Nut
ton prices showing wide range,
good light kinds up to $500,
others from $11.00 up. Pork mar

Letter to the Editor
WHY ANSWERED
To the Editor:


The letter entitled "Why"
which appeared in the Calcdonian-
| Record on December II raises a
! question which deserves serious,
not superficial, reply. Permit me
briefly to offer two considerations
which | believe go far toward the
real fundamental reasons why the
attendance at the lecture in the
Armory on Friday evening was
not large.
First, many perSons-among
them some representative of our
schools, one minister, some busi-
ness men and other persons who
are fond Of good lectures-wcre
in attendance upon other func-
tons on that evening. Such con-
hicts between rival claimants for
our time are inevitable. Each
person must decide for himself
where duty calls him. If duty
appears to have no prior claim,
then personal benefit determines
the question for each person.
Second, there are many lectur-
ers of inferior ability upon the
Chautauqua platform in these
later years. The public has been
surfeited with mediocrity. Lovers
of superior lectures have grown
exceedingly weary of paying
their money and deVoting their
time to attend lectures which are
given by men who are not we'll
and favorably known as public
speakers. The lecturer of Friday
evening may have been known to
some persons in st. Johnsbury;
but to large numbers of our citi-
zens he was a total stranger.
Many did not and do not yet
know anything about the man
other than his name, his title
professor" (Which no longer is
an infalliblc guarantee of in
tellcctual superiority, and his
present association with the Red
path Lyceum Bureau. Apparent
" Mr.. OFT deserved a large hear
ing. 1t is unfortunte that more
persons who had no prior claim of
duty did not profit by Mr. Otis
address.
This, ! believe, however, is
the inevitable result of the pres
ent method of bringing entertain
ments to our town. The officers
of one or another organization
yield to the persistent enticements
of the advance agent of some Ly-
ceum Bureau to sign the dotted
line of a contract for one OF more
entertainments or for a week $
Chautauqua. Occasionally we
have the great surprise and sat
isfaction of real Lyceum treat.
But too often we are the victims
of a Lyceum Circuit.
Let me add one further sug-
gestion. Might it not be well for
the numerous organizations of the
town to confer together and ar
ran"e each year to bring a few
of the very best musicians and d

EACH NEWPORT
GRADED SCHOOL
OBSERVES XMAS
South School Closes With
Fine Presentation at
School Hall

The last day Of school, Friday,
was day given over to Christ
mas exercises by all the schools
of the city.
At School Hall in the after
noon the grade pupils of the West
school gave q musical and drama
tic program which has never been
cxcelled, by any previous per
formance by the grades. The
Story of the Nativity by Virginia
Moh'ctt, was given under the di-
rection of Miss Marion Hamilton.
The Biblical text was used, and
was read from behind the scenes.
All the parts were well taken, the
stage effect though simple, was
very good, and between the acts,
and with the tableaus, the choru;
sang Christmas songs and the
hymns, O Little Town of Bethle-
hem, Cantique de Noel and Oh,
Come all Ye Faithful" Act l
represented the Annunciation. Act
2, the Nativity. Act 3, The Watch
ing Shepherds, Act. A, The Adora-
ton of the Kings and the final
tableau the Holy Family.
Christmas trees were great
events for the primary rooms.
Miss Dorcas Judkin postponed her
festival to Saturday morning
thus prolonging the good time.
At the East school, there were
the customary Christmas exer-
cises, enjoyed by many visitors,
and a Christmas tree for the pri-
mary rooms.
The exercises for the South
school we're given by the pupils
of the first and second grades and
were very successful. The
Christmas trees in the afternoon
were loaded with good things and
delight to the eye. All three
of the teachers were very gener-
ously remmbered and they arc
thought which prompted the gifts.
The South school has never
been provided with clocks, but
the pupils of the first and second
grades have succeeded in raising
money to buy very good one.
The Victrola fund now amounts
to $56.34 and all are anxious for
the time to come when they will
be able to buy this long coveted
treasure.

Needless to say, this is not an

attachments become strong.
There are many ties that would
not sever.
Of the results of our work to-
gether during these years it is not
for me to speak. Of my profound
appreciation of the loyalty and
friendship that have strengthened
the purpose and cased the burden
and made the effort to minister in

word
shall always cherish in CRATE
full remembrance the cooperation
without which my best endeavors
would have been in vain.
Wishing TO conserve the inter
ests of the &outh Church, l set
no precise date for this resigna-
ton to take effect. But if, in con-
sultati)n with the officers Of the
church, it shall seem proper,
would like TO be released the lat
