There arc, however, outstanding
bills against the Boston and
Maine for supplies, etc, these
bills aggregating between $1,000
GOO and $3,000,000. The federal
government, it is learned, owes
the Boston and Maine an amount
equal to or greater than these
bills for supplies, and it is under
stood that this amount from the
federal government is soon to be
paid. As soon as this amount is
received, the Boston and Maine
will find itself free Of debt.
Another interesting fact that
has just come to light is that the
Boston and Maine has paid up to
date its interest charges on all
roads. In addition, the New Eng
land railroads are beginning to
SHOW an Improvement, as shown
by statement Just issued by
the Maine Central railroad, which
states that its earnings for May
1922 SHOW surplus above fixed
charges of $4,000 as compared
with a deficit of S164 900 for the
month of May, 1921. The same
railroad reports that business for
the first three weeks of last
month shows q continuation of
this gain, "there being surplus
for these three weeks as against
a deficit of $4,000 for June,
1927.
All these facts, according to the
Chamber Of Commerce, tend to
strengthen the opinion that it is
possible for the Boston and Maine
and the other New England rail
roads to run along as they are
without change"
The Brattleboro Chamber of
Commerce concurs with the opin-
ION as Expressed by other similar
organizations throughout the
state, that it seems unwise to
become hyste1ical over the power
ty Of the railroads here in New
England, especially in the face of
the improvement which appears
to be manifest and in the face of
the fact that the New England
railroads are to receive an in
creased proportion OF through
rates as decreed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and are
going to cut the wages of quite a
large number of employees in ac-
cordance with the recent ruling of
the Labor Board
Mn. Kelly, in behalf of the As
ISOLATED Industries of Vermont,
has informed the Brattleboro
Chamber that his investigation
thus FAR has resulted in the state
wide opinion that "the PROPOSED
railroad consolidation is a serious
NATTER" and similar expressions
are being heard from all parts of
New England. The greater num-
Der of business men who have
been interviewed in this matter
are deeply concerned, and while
none of them have come forward
with a definite program to allie
viate the situation, it is felt that it
is a problem to be worked out
through sundry conferences by
commissions appointed for the
purpose. q

BRATTLEBORO
OPPOSED TO
MERGER PLAN
Shippers View Railroad
Consolidation With
Alarm

There is a constantly increasing
and apparently widespread inter-
est says the Brattleboro Reform
er, in connection with the pro-
posed consolidation of the New
England railroads with the main
trunk lines Of the country. Con-
siderable opposition to the plan
has developed in Brattleboro as
well as in other localities,
throughout the state, according 10
a statement made today by Carl
S. Hopkins, president of the Brat
tleboro Chamber of Commerce.
While the Chamber of Commerce :
has not definitely set its disap-
proval on the plan, it is, never
theless, against the merger at
the present time, pending a fur
ther and thorough investigation.
The facts of the case as it
would affect Prattleboro as we'll
~as other communities can best be
depicted by the work that has
been done by the Chamber Of
Commerce in connection with the
Associated Industries of Vermont
of which L. A. Kelly of Mont
pelier is secretary The local
Chamber through Mr. Hopkins for
several weeks has been in con-
slant touch with Mr.. Kelly, who
IS making 4 thorough investiqa-
ton of the problem with the idea
Of determining whether the mer-
ger is to be of benefit or not.
Many of the large shippers
throughout the state, including a
large number in Brattleboro, have
been received from these shippers
so that they view the situation
with alarm. The outstanding req
son for this opposition is that the
tying up with the trunk lines
would instantly destroy compcti-
ton; the trunk lines could rear
range schedules, cancel trains. and
provide poorer service in both
freight end passenger departments
In order to put the New England
roads on a definite profit-makiny
basis. The proposed merger. it is
stated, would mean the elimina-
ton of financial worries and
troubles for the local railroads as
the trunk lines are sufficiently
large and financially able to take
care Of an financial stringency
that might occur in connection
with the operation of the roads in
this section Of the country. This
advantage, however, is outweigh
ed by the loss of competition and
the following facts that have Just
been called to local attention.
1t is authoritatively stated that
the Boston and Maine RAILROAD
does not owe any borrowed mon
ey to bankers or anyone else ex-
cept long term bond loans made
by the United States government.

Cooperative Creamery

The third monthly scoring for
this season was held at the Bethel

DIR. w. NJ. Smith Again
Heads State Health Board

DR.. William Morgan Smith, of
Alexandria and Berryville, whose
country home, "Rosemont," west of
this place, is one of the show places
in Virginia, has been reappointed by
Governor Trinkle to the Virginia
State Board of Health.
TIE appointment makes the fifth
for DR.. Smith, and when this term is
completed will have served 20 years
on the board. He has been president
of the Board for twelve years and he
will likely be elected President for
the next four years.
DR.. Smith enjoys an unique eX-
perience as a member of the board.
He was first appointed to memberchlp
on the board by Gov. Swanson 16
years ago, and he has served continu-
ously since then having been re-
appointed by Gov. Mann, Gov. Stuart,
Gov. Davis and now by Gov. Trinkle.
Perhaps no other state official has
been held in Office by so many govern
ors of clashing factional influences
as prevails in Virginia as DR. Smith.
DR.. Smith is devoted to the work
of the State Board of Health. He
loves to make the medical researches
and seek out remedies for conditions
which will make the Virginia people
healthier and living conditions more
sanitary. His devotion to his task is
the one reason why so many Govern
Ors have pressed and kept him in the
harness.
