PRESENT USE OF
PLAZA CRITICIZED
Not Intended to Be LOafing Rendezvous
Dumping of Refuse i'm MILESTONE
Brook Also Objectionable.

There is much growing criticism on
the part of many of the villagers regard
ing the present condition of the plaza at
the junction of Main. Canal and
Vernon streets. There is an increas-
ing feeling that something ought to be
done to beautify this spot which at pres
ent is almost an eyeSOre to the commun-
ity, not only because of the condition of
the plot of land itself, but also because
of the use that is made of the spot.
1t is pointed out with much emphasis
that the plaza, a spot which should serge
as a place of beauty and rest, is used
for the most part as a lOafng place.
Tourists coming into town by way of
Canal street or across the bridge from
the IIinSdale road receive a bad impress
sion of the village by the scene that
gTeets them when they spot the plaza.
Travellers and visitors emerging from the
railroad station find themselves the OBJ
jects of critical inspection by the mem
bers of the lOafing brigade. In many
respects, villagers feel that the good adj
vertising which BrattleborO does along
some commendable lines, is pulled down
by the unfortunate impressions made
upon newcomers when they view the
plaza with its rickety and poorly kept
benches which appear as though they
hadn't seen a coat of paint since the
dawn of history.
Some of the local Legion men claim
conditions are an insult to the memorial
and honor roll located there. People
won't even step up to look at the names
on the memorial on account of the loaf
ing on the benches in front of the honor
roll.
Attention also is due the dumping
ground that is made of Milestone brook
Just after it passes under the Main
street bridge This is another affection
that greete the eye of a person coming
from the railroad station. Refuse of all
kinds is thrown into the brook, and in
stead of landing in the water where
there might. be a possibility of it being
carried off into the river it drops on the
Jagged rocks. where it remains until a
freshet comes along and gives the place
Il cleaning. 1t is a common occurrence
for people to dump stuff at this place.
Two evenings ago a couple who appar-
entity were doing light housekeeping
came down to the Main street bridge
with a large basket containing corn
husks, potato peels and other garbage
and deliberately emptied them over the
fence. utterly diSregarding where the
refuse landed. Such conditions do not
augur we'll for best health conditions.
1t is felt generally that these are mat
ters which should have the early atten-
ton of the village commissioners, be
cause the plaza could be improved IN
several respects with very little expense
and would thus become an asset to the
town.

PLAN BIG ARMAMENT CUT.
Disarmament Committee at Geneva
Would Restore Figures of 1918.

GENEVA. Sept 15.-The assembly
disarmament committee has decided e
recommend to the assembly of the
league of nations a resolution introduced
by NJ De Jouvenal of France. asking all
countries except those whose juridical
situation has been changed. to reduce
their expenditure for ornaments to the
figures of 1913. This would exclude the
United States and Canada, as well as
Spain. which is at war with Morocco.
The idea is to make it apply to all
European states under present circum-
stances. having no excuse for maintain
ing bigger ornaments than before the
war.
