The falling Of the roof IN the Knick-

Saturday evening was certainly a

designed to hold so great a weight, il

OF over 100 people Due to the bad

A Manchester Depot correspondent
writes to the Rutland Herald suggest
ing that towns pass resolutions in
structing their representatives to use
their influence against a bond issue for
hard surfaced roads. This correspond
ent cannot have in mind the welfare Of
his own town and is probably thinking
Of his own personal pocketbook. The
man nnst be much out Of touch with
his towns affairs who does not realize
tina. a trunk line Of hard surfaced
roads would benefit every single bust
ness and industry in Manchester, and,
indirectly, benefit every taxpayer in
town. We venture TO say that there is
not business man in town who would
not he glad 70 pay his share TO have a
trunk line through Manchester. The
farmers, who should now be classed as
business men. are beginning TO be in
terestod equally with the hotel men,
merchants and manufacturers. The
laboring mans interest lies with that
Of his employer and his tax is small
80 he should be unanimous for good
roads.
