Village Commissioners Pre-
pare Report for the
Past Year

Village Commissioners E. W. Gibson,
John T. Kaine and w. A. Shumway have
prepared their annual report of the vii
lage activities the past year and a state
ment of the estimated resources and ex-
penses, and an advance copy is published
herewith. One of the interesting features
is a recommendation that the village
tablish a municipal distributing system
and obtain electric current for street
lighting from the Connecticut River
Power Co. rather than renew the contract
with the Twin State Gas & Electric Co.
at the figure quoted by the latter com
pany. In spite of reduction of about
$4,000 in income the expenses have been
met within about $3.50, and sewer assess
ments will cover that, 4 tax of AZ cents
is recommended. The commissioners
say:
The commissioners of the village of
Brattleboro submit their annual report
Of the financial condition of the village
for the year ending May /, 1922.
Last year, upon recommendation of
the commissioners. a tax of 40 cents was
voted. This did not give as much for
running expenses within $1,000 as pro-
duced by the old tax rate. Then, too.
the commissioners found during the
year it was necessary to make some eX
penditureS which were not apprehended.
We purchased during the year adds
tional equipment for the fire department,
which includes ladders, rubber coats,
500 feet of new hose, and other equip
ment to the amount of $916.32 We
also have installed new hydrants at an
expense of S229. and made improvements
in front of the fire station, at an ex-
pense of S29S.16, a total of 81, ,443.4S.
In 1921 the teams owned by the vii
lage earned 81 .406.34. We placed these
teams under the direction of the town
highway commissioner, 50 that they
might earn the maximum amount, but
during the year 1922. the total income
to the credit of the fire department for
the use of these teams was but S311.05.
showing a loss of 81 02S.29 over 1921.
The commissioners believe that the teams
should have been employed for town pur-
poses TO a greater extent than they were
used The amount paid to the village
by the town for the use of its teams
went to the benefit of the taxpayers of
the town. and served to reduce the
amount that must be raised by taxation.
Late in the season when it became ap-
parent that these teams were not TO be
used. and owing to the fact that one
was well advanced in years, it was sold.
We believe there should be closer CO.
operation between the. village and the
town, 80 that the equipment of each can
be used for the mutual advantage OF the
other and for the benefit of the tax
payers of both.
We met a greater expense than an
ticipated for sprinkling the streets. The
number of days when it was necessary
to lay the dust were considerably IN ex-

Few Clues to Robbers. .-.

NEW YORK. April Is. - The police
of the West Sixty-eighth Street station
found few clues. they admitted yester-
day, which might lead to the arrest of
band of burglars which looted the home
of Herman Bawitser, a manufacturer, at
233 West Seventy-second street, taking
more than $4,000 worth of valuables.
Mr.. Rawitzer returned from France on
Saturday TO find his house had been ran
sacked Given another few days in which
to work, he said. the robbers would have
left the house vacant.
Mr.. Rawitser said yesterday every
closet in his large house had been ripped
open, and what had not already been
taken was found tied in bundles Silver
ware, including several valuable heir
IoOms-AIr. Rawitser said he would pay
50, 900 each for the return of three
pieces - furs and other costly articles
went with the invaders.
1T is quite plain that the burglars
had plenty of time in which to move
the property" he said. And they eyi-
IDENTIFY took their time about it. Appar-
emily they ate and slept in the house
and burned the lights. They even put
out eight For Sale signs on the house
where there had been but one. Appar-
emily they left few clues for the detec-
tives to work ON. They were clever
enough to avoid leaving fingerprints A
jimmy or two, some keys and a pair of
shoes, the detectives think, will not
avail much in tracking them down"

Hotel Mems Plans in Vermont.
Barre Times.

The precise plans contemplated by
the Vermont Hotel association to boom
Vermont as a vacation resort, as was
decided upon at the recent meeting of
the association in Rutland, have not
been divulged as yet. but when they
are divulged the hotel men can count
on strong cooperation by the newspa-
rers of Vermont in reasonable efforts
to gain publicity for Vermont as a
place for spending ones vacation. The
newspapers have costantly worked TO
advance the interests of Vermont as a
vacation resort-have done it in season
and out of season-and they stand
ready TO continue those efforts along
sound lines OF course, it is to be ex-
pected that the greater part of the pub
licity work conducted by the Hotel as
seciation will be carried on outside of
the state and, consequently, in journals
published in the larger cities, in an eff
fort to get in touch with the people who
would be attracted to Vermont. But
the Vermont press can do something to
assist in this work, for many of the state
newspapers have considerable cireIla-
tion outside of the state. Therefore.
when the plans of the Hotel association
are made known it is certain that the
Vermont newspaper men viii be found
back of the move. What helps Vermont
in this line will Indirectly help nearly
all the state, not the hotels alone.
