INSURANCE QUESTIONS
ALSO ARE TAKEN UP.

A petition signed by representatives Of
a large number of liability insurance
companies was presented to the board
by H. II. Woodsman asking that the
board rescind action taken two weeks
ago which provided that no insurance
company be accepted on a bond for
more than 10 per cent Of its capital and
undivided surplus. The effect of this
order was TO do away with personal
bonds and reinsurance by bonding com
panies. 1t permits co-insurance IN the
case Of small companies unable to handle
large sums without assistance.
Mr.. Woodsmall cOntended that this was
an imposition and unjust discrimlnat ton
against the smaller companies. that It

An Air Scout for Zodanaa.

As | proceeded on my journey to-
ward Zodanga many strange and In.
teresting sights arrested my attention
and at the several farmhouses where

and instructive things concerning the
methods and manners OF BarSoOm.
The water which supplies the farms
Of Mars IS collected In immense under
ground reservoirs az either pole from
the melting ice caps, and pumped
through long conduits to the various
populated centers Instead OF flooding
the surface OF the fields. and thus
wasting immense quantities OF water
by evaporation, the precious liquid l.
carried underground through vast
network OF small pipes directly 10 the
roots NJ the vegetation. The crops

The Impossible i'm Vermont Road
Building.
BENNINGTON Banner)

When one stops to consider that
there are over $4,000 miles of high
way in Vermont and little figuring
finds that there is a mile of road for
every Is men, women and children in
the state, one is apt to cease wonder
ing why it is that our highways are
not all boulevards. Vermont is con-
stantly making improvements in her
road system but it is easy to demand
more than we can pay for.-St. AL
bans Messenger.
The above is statement in Ian
guage so clear that even the most
childish voter ought to be able to I'M
derstand. Apparently the Messenger
has made a slight error in computa-
ton but there is clearly a mile of
highway for every % men, women
and children. This ought to make it
plain that Vermont cannot possibly
build cement roads on even it's main
highways. The state is not populous
enough or rich enough to stand the
expense. All that we can expect or
reasonably hope for is cement roads
on short links where traffic is heavy
properly graded gravel roads on our
main trunk lines and ordinary dirt
roads, decently smooth and drained
on the back and side roads. With
this limit of possibility clearly before
our view the state of Vermont ought
to go ahead and build and maintain
it's roads according to what it can
have and not spend too much time
signing after the unattainable.

There is much agitation in some
Vermont cities and towns over the
manager plan Of municipal govern
ment and one place, at least, ST AL
oans, has voted to try it out. It is
not absolutely necessary to make
great changes in charters to try this
plan as is evidenced by the experience
in Barton during the past year. Bar
ton has three village trustees but the
three made one of their number .vir-
tural manager by delegating power to
him to act. To be sure they have
been consulted but in the main one
