Only passing notice was made m these columns at, the time of the dedi cation of the new United Presbyterian church at Greensboro on July 9 and it is with pleasure the- Monitor gives more space to it this week. The story as told" in the United Presbyterian of Aug. 7; written by Rev. John A. Wilson, L. .L. of Woo ster, O., who preached the' dedicatory sermon follows : v "It was the writer's privilege, a few days ago, to preach at the dedi cation of the new church-which our congregation in Greensboro has erect ed.. There were several interesting features in connection with this service. The building is. commodious and beautiful. There is some of the finest paneling I have seen in many a day, much of which was done gratui tously last winter by members and friends of the congregation. "The dedication was held on a week day, so that the congregations of the presbytery rright come and rejoice with them. The weather was some of 'Vermont's best, ' and there was a large attendance. There was no refer ence to the cost of the building, and no appeal to help defray it. That seems to be the way they do things in Vermont. "The dedication service was held in the morning, after which everyone was invited to remain for dinner, which the ladies set up in their beau tiful church dining room. I did not notice anyope going away. The dinner itself well, it could scarcely have been excelled by the ladies of Wooster, O., and .what higher praise could one give it? "The afternoon was given up to a fraternal meeting, which was even more largely attended than that of the morning. A number of interesting addresses were made, not alone by ministers, as is- too often the case, but by both men and women from sister churches, both near and far. "Greensboro itself I have not spoken of it. I am afraid to attempt it. If I had a vocabulary like Dr. Miller of the United Presbyterian I might tackle it with some hope of CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO BARTON. Forrest Carpenter was sick part of last week. Mrs. S. H.

LOWER RATES ORDERED Commission Ordert Telephone Hearing Sept 30 to See Why New Rates -Should Not Go into Effect. The reorganized public service com mission of Vermont issued an order Saturday for all telephone companies doing business in Vermont to appear at the senate chamber, Montpelier, September 30, and show cause why the rates recommended by the;public service commission should not go into effect after December .1. The annual rental rates ,. called for in this order are : BUSINESS TELEPHONES One-party line, thirty-three dollars Two-party line, twenty-four dollars Four-party, line, twenty-one dollars More than four-party line, eighteen dollars. ' RESIDENCE TELEPHONES One-party line, twenty-four dollars Two-party Tine.eighteen dollars Three to six-party line, fifteen dollars More than six-party line, twelve dollars. It is also a part of the order that the present toll rates be reduced 20 per cent except where the present rate is 10 cents or less and that the reduc tion of 20 per cent be to the nearest multiple of five cents, above or below the figure arrived at by the reduction. Charges for calls where telephonic communication is not obtained are to be abolished. The above recommendations are made by the public service commission in accordance with the report made by MessrsV Cook and Graham, special council appointed by Gov. Fletcher to investigate the telephone situation in this state. '.-.. It will be remembered that Gov. Fletcher insisted that this order be issued by the former public service commission out tnat tney retusea to issue the order believing it out thir power, but stated would issue an order for a the matter. Gov. Fletcher was with that they hearing in thereupon dismissed C. D. Watson of St. Albans, chairman of the commission and appointed Robert C. Bacon of Brattle boro in his place and after the resig nation of G. H.J Babbitt, Park H. Pollard was appointed in his stead and this order immediately followed, signed by Robert C. Bacon, William R. Warner and Park H. Pollard. This instrument it must be under stood is an order for the rates and changes above mentioned which will go into effect December 1 unless the telephone companies show reason satisfactory to the public service com mission why such rates and charges are unreasonable and unjust.

At the several times adjourned school meeting held last evening in the high school room.it was voted without a dissenting voice to have the school trus'tees begin remodelling the old school building by cementmg the basement and tearing . out the parti tions on the "first floor and remodelling this floor into a hall that may be used for school purposes, physical culture training, etc.,, the sum to be expended not to exceed $1000.
