James f. Oyster of Washington, di-
rector. left yesterday to attend.
There are many important matters
to come up before the board. not the
least of which is arrangements for
placing the new Treasury certificates
to be issued March Is. This district,
IT is expected, will be asked to take
between s12,0O0,OO0 and S13,OOO,00O of
the certificates. although no exact
allotment is eyer made in the case of
such issues. Just what part Balti-
more will be expected to take is not
known.
Another matter that will come up
for discussion, although nothing ap-
parently can be done about ii until
litigation now under way is termina
ted, is the North Carolina law per-

ALLOY STEEL MERGER.

The United Alloy steel Company is
stated to be negotiating a merger
with the Berger Manufacturing Com
pany and the United Furnace Com
pany. The company obtains it's pig
iron from the United Furnace and the
consolidation is regarded as logical
step.
The Berger Company makes finished
steel products and the three compa-
MES plants are all located near one
another. II is understood that an
issue of preferred stock will be made
in exchange for Berger Msnufactur-
ing preferred.

JUDGE GARY's VACATION.

The report circulated in Wall street
that Judge Gary Is contemplating an
other trip to Europe is untrue. II
probably arose from the fact that the
judge will leave on a short vacation

and will be away three weeks. The
trip includes a visit to San Francisco
via the Panama Canal.

AN oyERsOLD MARKET.

"If the German indemnity failure
could not break the stock market,
what will?" asks one brokerage house.
There is little likelihood of anything
happening that can cause much of a
decline in the general opinion of
traders, as stocks are oversold.
What Is known as a Technically
strong condition" has again been
brought about. This, however, was
the favorite cry OF the confirmed
bulls when the decline set in late in
1919 At that time country wide
liquidation was only commencing,
whereas now it is fairly well COM
pleted. so that technical conditions"
may prove of some value.

Vermont Road Conditions.

"A writer in the Burlington News
deplores the continued howl about
poor roads in Vermont and advises a
line Of publicity to secure a large nun.
Der OF medium sized hotels In various
sections, where the summer vacation
lists are already com ng to Vermont in
large numbers, and where they would
be likely to come in greatly increased
numbers if the accommodations were
found adequate. It's good sugges-
ton. We might end the talk about al
legged poor roads i'm Vermont for the
time being at least and turn to some
more needed line OF publicity."--Barre
Times.
The Barre Times has leg innate
interest in wishing to quiet the clamor
about poor roads. because the approach
TO the Granite city from the north
through Montpe Ter is so terrible that
nothing but ignorance OF the condi-
tons or necessity would make a man
go over the SIX or seven miles between
Barre and the Capital city. Williams
town Gulf, beautiful as it Is, loses its
attraction when one contemplates the
journey required to reach Il. Tour
lists who are wise will avoid Barre
and will take the Mortified road
which takes one through as beautiful
bit OF varied scenery as one coud wish
for.
This is not the fault OF The Barre
Times; there is nothing personal in
It, II is the statement of mere fact
and 1t makes no difference whether
one keeps quiet about the conditions.
for they become known through the
mouth to mouth exchange of nrorma.
ton tourists indulge In. The truth is.
VT have long stretches OF most ex.
oellent roads in Vermont, and then we
have some mics of highways in very
bad condition. II is evident that large
sums of money were at some time
spent on the Montpeler-Barr road
but maintenance was lack ng. Il is
even doubtful II maintenance would
have accomplished real results. for at
places repairs, in view OF the traffic,
would be short lived and extremely ex-
pensive. The heavy trucks have left
burrows in the asphalt as deep as are
ordinarily found in plowed land. The
road was not built for the traffic, or
else the traffic has changed in its ma
ture since the road was made 'perma.
nent'-spare the word!
North of Montpe Ter to the turn off
to Burlington through Williston, what
was once a fine highway has become
indifferently good at its best and its
worst makes II almost impossible to
the ordinary car. The washboard eff
feet has become so exaggerated that
all that is left for motor'st is to
slow down to creeping pace and
then keep his mouth tightly closed
for fear his teeth may rattle out. That
is the way the Vermont highways 20.
On the main travel routes the good
road outdistances the bad road many
many times over, but human nature
is so constructed as to retain the mo
vivid impression of that VIII CHI is bad.
We average good, but we reach the
average by combining exec lent pieces
with some that is abominable. Main.
tenance is neglected in spots Wash
board or no dashboard, maintenance
would have prevented the run from
Montpelier north being anything but a
pleasure. II will do no good to seek
to play the ostrich about our roads,
for they furnish their own publicity.

! Here is a remarkable demonstration
that sport has a cleaner code of ethics

players but they are not acquitted
