Large Expenditure There Next Year
Policy Under New Federal Road Law
Not Yet Certain.
c. II. Stellman of Albany, y. Y, fed
eral agent for highway construction in the
district which includes Vermont, was in
Brattleboro over last night. and this
morning went with County Road Com
missioner r. f. Coambs over the federal
road through Dummerston. which ex-
tends from the Brattleboro town line t.
the Putney town line, thence leaving for
other parts of his district Mr.. Stellman
is on an inspection trip, and while the
roadbed cannot be seen on account of be-
ing covered with Snow he especially de
sircs to see how the work in general has
been left.
\ member Of The Reformer staff had
an opportunity to talk with Mr.. Stell-
man briefly before he left town. When
asked what the prospects were for federal
money i'm Vermont next wear Mr.. Stell-
man said S3J0.0O0 would be available
July !. in fact some Of it already is avail
able, and when matched by the state the
total fund will be approximately three
quarters of a million dollars.
Asked what the p0ICY WGutd De under
the new federal road law with respect to
choosing locations for the expenditure Of
federal money. that is. whether the new
work would join the old or whether iso-
lated sections would be built. Mr. Stell-
man said it was impossible to tell until
the law had been definitely interpreted.
He is inclined to the opinion. however,
that the new work viii be n continuance
Of the old. and if that is to be the policy
it means that the Guilford project or the
Marlboro project or he Dummerston
project will be extended before other
pieces of federal highway are constructed
in this locality.
Mr.. Stellman said that eventually the
federal road in Guilford. which was built
this year. beginning at the Bernardston
line and extending north about two miles,
would be continued to Brattleboro. Mr..
CoOmbs rather expects to see a consider
able sum of money expended on the Gull

F0ur-POwer Agreement Will
Not Be Alliance or
Entente
PACIFIC ISLANDS
ALONE INVOLVED
FortificatiOns On Island of Zap Not In
Guided Separate Treaty On Yap
Nearly Completed - China Wins on
Territorial Integrity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (AssOciated
Press THE four-power agreement being
considered by the United States, Great
Britain, Japan and France, it was learned
today from official American sources,
would be an agreement for joint consul
tation on any matters affecting interests
of those nations in the Pacific islands and
not an alliance or technical entente. The
agreement is in process of being reduced
to treaty form and if accepted is to be
submitted to the senate.
1t is designed to do away with the
Anglo-Japanese alliance and proposals
have gone to Japan for renunciatiOn of
that alliance if the agreement should be
cOnSummated. As now under negotiations
the agreement is to be limited to the Pa
cific islands. Under tentative proposals,
each of the powers would agree to consult
one another before going to war on any
difference that might arise relating to
those islands.
The agreement American officials said,
would not deal with Notifications in the
Pacific nor with questions relating to the
island of Zap. Nor will it deal with any
mntters affecting China but only those
relating to the islands of the Pacific.
The question at issue between the
United States and Japan relating to cable
facilities and other matters affecting the
island of Zap are to be dealt with in a
separate treaty which is said to be near
completion.
The proposed four-power agreement to
deal with the Pacific islands is said to
have already been given approval in
principle by British representatives at
the Washington conference. The sub
stance of the proposed treaty has been
cabled to Toxic and Paris The formal
responses of the British. japanese and
French governments still remain to be
received, however
