Ail of which may be good judgment, but guess we've always been rather backward, for we heard many say that they got sick and tired of this constant solicitation for business, so we have not worked this method quite as hard as most other dealers, but we just want you to know that if you use COKE, COAL or OIL, you cannot do better than to give your orders to us, for quality, promptness, quietness in delivery and all around fair and square treatment; so remember that WE budget COKE and COAL requirements if desired, that our oil business has increased every year since we took it on which certainly shows you that we are dependable and render service that is appreciated. si i-w Citizens Coal Inc.

A commission was appointed by the Windsor county court to hear the case, and it was found that there was no necessity for the relocation, but that if necessity had been found, the award would have been $7,000.

The case went to county court where the findings of the commission were rejected, regarding the question of necessity, but affirmed the $7,000 award for damages. Filed Exceptions The highway board excepted to the findings and order of the county court and appealed to the Supreme Court with the request that elements of damage cohering the relaying of pipe from a spring and the element of consequential damage caused by moving the main stream of travel from in front to 1.600 feet in the rear of the Nelson house, be stricken out. leaving the amount of damage at 52.400.

Wing will command. Barrett Lieutenant-Colonrl Ma.ior William Barrett of Montpelier was nominated lieutenant-colonel to succeed Buzzell and Captain Elbert T. Kimball of Company of Burlington was recommended to succeed Barrett as major. The assembly was held in accordance with provisions of the Vermont Constitution. Customarily the appointments of officers by the governor conform entirely with nominations bv the assembly of commissioned officers.

The appointment of a briga-dier-ceneral to succeed Greenlaw, who has commanded the 86th Brigade since its organization following the war. depends on a mutual agreement between the adjutant generals of Maine and Vermont and an allotment by the United States war department in conformity with the agreement. Since Maine has had th command for 15 years, it logically comes to Vermont. Adjutant-General Johnson said. Buzzell's Record Lieut.
