A motorist made application to the
village of Bennington for reimburse
ment for broken spring, claiming
that the damage was due to the i'm
proper condition of one of the streets
in Bennington. The village trustees
put the matter up to the village attor-
ney and the latter brought in his find
ing that the village of Bennington was
not liable either by law or by preced-
ent for the broken spring. If pre-
cedent of that sort should be set up,
there would be no end OF trouble for
any community for there probably is
not village or city in Vermont whose
streets are all SO near perfect that
damage could not be done to a motor
vehicle under certain conditions; and
there would be almost limitless litiga-
tions, as a village or city corporation
would most certainly invoke in defense
the plea that motorists must exercise
reasonable degree of caution and
there would develop, of course, extend

From various sources come reports
of increased business activity in many
branches of industrial life throughout
the United States. This activity is
more or less spotty and Of not greatly
pronounced strength but it is suffi-
GENTLY noticeable to give greater
tone of optimism to the predictions re-
garding the half year now started 1t
is the half-ye of vacations and of
taking account of stock in many in
dustries, so that it is not expected
that the normal amount of business
will be Forthcoming during the first
part of the period; but it does seem,
according to those schooled in reading
the business barometer, that the foun-
dation for prosperity throughout the
country is being solidified. Slowly, ever
SO slowly, the country is drawing out
Of the slough of depression, which was
an inevitable aftermath of the war.
BY the end Of the present half-year
there is likely to be noticeable
of the business and indus
trial outlook in most of the lines which
are not affected by labor difficulties
and other entanglements.

THE INDIVIDUALS PART IN
CIVIr ITPKEE

i In the course Of a discussion in the
Barre board of aldermen recently re-
garding physical conditions about the
com,sunity, Alderman Mccarthy Of
the sixth ward gave voice to truism,
which deserves to be repeated. 1t is,
to the effect that the residents OF any
community cannot have satisfactory
conditions in their city or village UNI
less they themselves lend their coop
Grafton to the officials who are tenn
porarily placed in charge Of the affairs
Of the municipality. In other words,
the residents Of any community cannot
expect the best conditions if they
themselves are lax or if they contrib
ute, willfully or otherwise, toward
building up hindrances to right con-
ditions. 1t is granted at the outset
that the physical conditions in and Of
themselves may not be the best; but
they may be the best that the munich
pality is able to furnish. Being the
best that the municipality can furnish
at the time, IT Is the moral responsible
ity on the part of the residents to
contribute toward keeping those CON
ditions as nearly right as 1t is posi-
BILE to do. Everybody is able to con
tribute something to the physical bet
terment of a community II it be moth
ing more than the best upkeep Of ones
own premises; and many can contrib
ute more by seeing to it that the pub
lie service is in no way impaired
through their own deliberate action
or by their carelessness. There are
thousand and one ways in which indi-
yidual residents can contribute toward
the impairment of service or to the I'M
doing of that which has been done for
the public good; and, sad to relate,
large proportion Of those ways are
contributing factors toward the inn
pairment of service, toward the I'M
kempt appearance of community,
toward the mounting expense of public
maintenance. And then comes the
complaint, either by parties RESPONSE
BILE or by parties affected by the shift |
lessness OF others; and the public off
cials are blamed for not keeping physi-
cal conditions in A No. | condition all |
the time.
Manifestly It is impossible for the
officials to keep things at A No. |
unless the Individual resi-
dents do their small part toward that
same end. Go into community where
the individuals take pride in keeping |
up their own premises and in main
tanning the public service and see what
a generally satisfactory condition
seems to exist; go into another COM
munity where individual shiftlessness
reigns and see what miserable look
ing and repulsive place it is. Then
make your decision to do your little
part in making conditions right. Those
tight conditions cannot be attained
without complete cooperation on the
part of the residents.

EASTERN STAR
TO HAVE HOME
Continued from First Page

g.
early this week, the final plans will be
made and writings drawn, which will
make this property the future Eastern
| Star home. This residence was built
about six years ago, by one of the best
architects and builders in this vicinity,
and, when nearly completed, was pur-
chased by Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. JOS
| Ign for home. The house was nm
ished under their supervision and is
perfect in every detail Mr.. and Mrs.
Joslyn have passed the time here since
the house was finished. from May until
November. The furnishings and equip
ment are all Of very high order, and
in the purchase the furniture is includ-
ed. The house is located on Maple
street on the highlands, in a residential
part of the town, on one of three lots
owned by Mr.. Joslyn, who has spared
no time or expense In the decoration
OF the grounds, to make the same at
tractive. A fine garage has been built,
entrance to which from the street, is
by the way of a cement drive, cement
walks lead to the granite steps over
which ones passes TO commodious pi-
azza, part of which is enclosed, all
presenting delightful picture OF the
exterior. Entering the house one is
first introduced to reception room,
having an elaborate staircase. polished
floor, large fireplace and furnishings to
correspond. Back of this is the living
room and dining room connected by n
wide opening where is found every con-
veniencc. Two rooms in the rear are
all furnished with taste and modern
equipment, this making the work easy.
Seven sleeping rooms, large upper call
and bathroom are found on the second
floor. all finished in hardwood. On The
third floor are also found three rooms.
finished and ready for use at any time.
The house is situated on a fine street
in the residential part Of the town
and nearby is the Mari-Castle park and
beautiful residence of Col. A. b. Chand
Ter, and it is only short distance from
the Randolph sanstorium. IL is from
five to seven minutes walk from the
postoffice, railroad station and hotels,
and less than ten minutes walk TO the
churches, Kimball Public library and
Chandler Music hall, the latter the gift
of Col. Chandler. II is expected that
Mr.. and Mrs. Joslyn will occupy the
place until Nov. !. when they will
journey to their Florida home. and
later will pass two years in Calfor-
mia. While we regret to lose them
from town. we are pleased to welcome
to our place the Eastern Star home,
the possibility of which is largely due
to the Randolph board Of trade, Beu-
lah chapter, Naomi chapter of North |
field and A. Z. Bass. former resident |
here, but late Of Bangor, Me-, all Of |
whom have generously contributed to-
ward the purchase of the furniture.

not yet made. Open house day win be

be welcome and examination solicited.
