The Vital Things.

How doth the busy auto agent
Improve each shining hour,
BY taking out the prospects" in
His 35-horse power
lie talks of bore and piston rings;
OF clutch, of mag" of gear
lie dilates on the easy springs,
Makes every feature clear.
But all this bunk falls on deaf ears,
All agents talk the same;
The prospects" do not care for gears,
Or give a boot for name.
The only point they want to know,
Is what their old CARL bring
How much the agent will allow
Yes, that's the vital thing.

BELLOWS FALLS, Sept. 81


BELLOWS FALLS, Sept. 81.
A party of engineers is making sur
vcy of part of the road following the
Connecticut river between the mouths of
Williams and Black rivers in this town
and Springfield following closely tho
course of the Connecticut river. The sur
vey is materially changing the location
of the former hilly and little used coun-
try road and is intended to become
part of the state highway between New
York and the White mountains. 1t is
beautifully scenic stretch of road of
about six miles. Heretofore this through
traffic from Bellows Falls has been in
New Hampshire until Cheshire bridge
between the towns of Charlestown. n.
H., and Springfield (Vt.) was reached.
The preliminary survey Indicated an
expenditure of about S250,000, but the
present definite susvey shows that Il
larger sum will be required. 1t is TO be
a federal assisted road, but constructed
by the Vermont highway department.
No actual work is expected to be done
this year, but n portion of it probably
will be put onder construction next
year. Because of the size of the work and
expense involved the work probably will
not be done all at one time but will be
distributed over period of three years
or more.
