The Company d basktball team

they meet the strong aggregation
at that place. The Laconia team
has been strengthened since the
opening of the season and Coach
Burns satellites expect to have to

The attraction New Years eve is

be secured, Coach Burns asked
them to return for that date to

ing the intention of bringing a bet
ter developed team and that they
expected to win.
If indications are right it will
be the greatest game that will be
seen on the local floor this season.
The performance Thursday even

make them but with the strength

Editor of the Caledonian-Recor
The year | lived in Springfield
my home was at the top of the
longest hill in the village and every
time it rained the road was badly
washed A few years ago a cloud
burst took the gravel down the hill
and distributed it all over Main
street into which the street from
the hill opens. 1t cost the village
$1,000 to repair the damage from
this heavy storm. Under the town
manager plan George Bates, who
has charge of the road work, put
in a concrete gutter, several catch
basins, sloped the surface so the
water would run into the cutters
and the permanent Improvement
will last for many years. This
kind of work has been goin on all
over the town and village when un-
der the old regime there was hit
or miss plan for the highways
that missed more often than it hit
The town manager had some Wis
sconin road planers built at a cost
of $45 each and road commission
ers in many of the adjoining towns
VINO have noticed the absence of
washboards on the Springfield
highways have asked for drawings
of the planers.
The town manager has been APP
pointed state road agent and pa
trolman and the state road work
has been done under the town or
ganization.
The most enthusiastic believer in
the town manager plan is Col. ".
| d. Woolson, whose father was one
OF the first citizens of this hust-
ling village, and whose loyalty for
the town is contagious. He was
elected selectman to fill vacancy
caused by death and he has the
confidence and esteem of every one
in town. He told me he would
rather serve the town as selectman
without salary than to serve for
$4,000 under the old regime where
there was no cooperation between
the various boards, He is strongly
of the opinion that the plan should
not be started in any community
unless the voters are behind the
plan and the three boards in the
town and village are back OF the
municipal manager and his policies
He explained to me how the select
men and the village trustees kept
in close touch with the town mana
gers work. Each board meets
Manager Wright an hour a week
on different days. Mr.. Wright
submits to them the bills for the
week, the financial standing OF
each department, his plans for the
coming week and any other mat
tcrs or Importance. 1t is just such
a meeting as every Oank holds eV-
cry week and the selectmen and
the village trustees low what
has been done and where the mon

journed at noon when the going
got to be a bit too rough for them,

on a meeting Of their own, much
more peaceful than the one before

~T,,l4o purpose of the original
meeting was to register the opin-

TWO LYNDON
BANKS VOTE
TO COMBINE
In Lyndonville Savings
Bank and Trust
Company

At a special meeting Of stock
holders and depositors held Friday
afternoon it was voted to merge
the interests of the Lyndon Say
ings bank and the Lyndonville
National bank in one institution
to be known as the Lyndonville
Savings Bank and Trust Company.
The proposition has the approx
al of Bank Commissioner Carpen-
ter. The new institution will have
capital stock of $4,000 at a par
value of 500 a share.
The Lyndon Savings bank was
organized in 1885 and has always
had good patronage. Its last
semi-annual statement showed its
total resources to be SLABS, 5,919.46.
The National bank formerly loca-
ted at Lyndon Corner was moved
to Lyndonville and has had an un-
usually successful record and the
liquidation of the two institutions
into the one new bank is believed
to be a move for the strengthening
of the financial interests Of the
community and for the benefit and
profit of stockholders and deposi-
tors.
The directors Of the new institu-
ton elected Friday are: G. NJ,
Campbell, H. f. Folsom, F. f.
Dwinel, J. L. Norris and H. W.
Lyster, all of Lyndonville, S. NJ.
Bartlett, West BurHe, f. A. Dar-
ling and H. d. Webster, East
Burke; o. d, Mathwson, Lyndon
Center.
The directors organized by
electing Mr.. Folsom, president and
Mr.. Campbell, vice president. W.
E. Riley, who was cashier of the
national bank, it to be the treas
urer and Miss Ida S. Pearl, who
was the treasurer of the Savings
bank, is to be assistant treasurer
Of the new bank. The new bank
will begin operations January /.

city of the Hindus, is like u splendid
mask over a plebeian face. 1t lies
behind n long line OF palaces and tenn
plies; these. following the Gauges, are
wonderful and glorious. but they can
not compensate for the squalor that
they are meant to conceal. One fea-
ture alone would make the city unbear-
able TO any stranger used to air spaces
and light the streets are like cracks
between two rows of houses.
As one passes into the alley occu-
pied by the wealthy. It narrows more
and more, until the breadth is so slight
that a man might almost step from
the windows Of one house into those
OF another across the way. Ordinary
speech In a front DON On one side OF
the lane is plainly audible to the neigh
bors opposite.
One enters this lane by n gate of
massive wood. set in a stone arch
way. The first houses run 100 to 200
feet, and her the lane turns, at right
angles, and accommodates two other OPP
posing buildings. Then, there is nm
other turn, and two more houses, and

distant street.
