Hears Suit Over
Taxing Lighting System

The case of the village of Hard
wick against the town of Wolcott
to test the constitutionality of the
law taxing land used for nun
icopal lighting system located out
side the territorial limits of the
municipality owing the same was
argued yesterday in supreme court
at Montpelier. A decision in this
case will affect two other NUM-
cipalities in the state similarly
situated, Swanton and Barton.
Ten years ago a law was passed
to the effect that land purchased
or condemned by municipal cor
poration outside its territorial IL
mits shall not be exempt from tax-
alton, the provisions of the act
specially eliminating water sup
ply systems.
The Hardwick lighting system
is just over the line in the town
of Wolcott. The original apprais-
al was around $4,000; later a new
dam was built and from time 20
tilllC Ilt app dlHotl WdS llill CdSCu
until now it stands around $4,000
On the occasion of the last APP
praisal the village of Hardwick
appealed and went before the APP
pealing board but later it was dis
covered that there was some ire
gularity in the proceedings, and
no relief was secured, the tax le-
We'd and demanded. The village
of Hardwick refused to pay, hav-
ing hitherto paid under protest,
and enjoined the towns of Wolcott
from proceeding in the tax. The
case comes to supreme court on
agreed statement of facts.
The village of Hardwick claims
the act is unconstitutional because
it is discriminatory, in that it
taxes a municipal plant located in
the town OF village owning the
plant. An instance of this is in
the town of Morristown BY the
assessment if is claimed that the
village of Hardwick is compelled
to pay a share of the county tax
of another county in addition 10

Current Happenings at
Orleans High School


from the proceeds OF the high
school operatta has arrived. 1t will
be used for the first time in q
special assembly Friday.
The correspondence that was
begun last year under the auspices
Of the Junior Red Cross with pu-
pills in English schools has contin-
ued ever since. Recently the sixth
grade pupils received their third
letter from England. Some Of the
pupils are now corresponding with
two friends across the water.
A committee of pupils from the
art appreciation class has rear
ranged the pictures in the high
school rooms. This was done in
order to give a prominent place to
the painting of Ira Allen which
was presented by Mr.. Wilbur. A
program was given by the pupils
on May 1 to commemorate Ira
Allen day.
Three mounted reproductions in
colors have been added to the high
school collection; the Madonna of
the Harpies" by Del Sarto of the
Italian school, "The Cleaners" by
Millet of the French schooI, and
"Silence of the Night" by Wendt,
an American still living.
Somewhat tardy, the banner
from the State tuberculosis as
ISOLATION reached the schools last
week. Orleans was one of the
eighteen villages in the State over
its quota of Christmas seals. Near
ly 500 worth of seals were sold
in the village. Since The fifth grade
led the school in the sale it was
voted unanimously to place the
banner in that room.
Thursday was red letter day in
the school clean up week. The
class periods were shortened so as
to give more time to the work.
The grade clean up squads under
their captains distributed litera-
ture, put in order their districts,
and collected the rubbish at cen
trail points. Volunteers from the
high school under eight generals
cleaned up No Man Land border
ing on the railroad and the river.
The pupils are to be commended
on this practical demonstration of
citizenship. The DAY was closed by
d well attended community meet
ing at the Opera Hall. The Orleans
Concert Band furnished music
during the motion pictures which
emphasized community bettermcnt

TO LIMIT CAMPAIGN MONEY.
Senator Dillingham; Reports Measure to
Regulate Political Expenditures.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-That
congress at its next session viii be faced
with the problem of enacting new Iegis-
lation to limit the expenditure of money
in primary and election campaigns was
indicated by Senator Dillingham; in pre-
senting to the senate a report on bin
regulating temporarily such OUTLAWS.
upon which the committee on privileges
and elections. of which he is chairman,
had set the seal of its approval.
In view of the fact that the Demo
Gratis are plainly intending to make the
most of the ''Newberryism' as an issue
during the coming campaign, this an
nouncement by the Vermont member
takes on an added significance and
places the majority party in the senate
on record as already taking steps to
cope with the by no means insignificant
task of imposing drastic limits upon the
costs of conducting a political canvass.
The bill inst renorted by Senator
Dillingham; IS. 3603) re-enacts the pres
ent law relating to the general elections
along with certain changes calculated
to make it harmonic with the consti-
tuition.
