ONE CENT INCREASE.
Rutland Mayor Testified in the Rutland
County Court.
Rutland, Sept. 13. What Mayor
Charles L. Howe terms a swindle against
the city was disclosed yesterday in Rut
land county court in the trial of the
case of John Burton and James E. Creed,
local contractors, vs. the city of Rut
land to recover $1,125 for building a
culvert in '1911. Payment of the bill,
which was the contract price, was re
fused because a few weeks after the
culvert was done a part of the cement
siding broke in half and fell away.
Mr. Creed testified in the afternoon
that in submitting the low figures on
which he got the contract, he did no
base his price on the quality of cement
work called for in the city's specifica
tions, but that he had a private arrange
ment with City Engineer A. C. Grover
whereby, if he got the contract, "he
could use stones in filling in for a base
for the cement. The city claims that
it was this insecure base which caused
the cement to crack. Five lawyers are
fighting the esse. T. W. Moloney and
G. W. I'latt appearing for the plaintiffs
and Marvelle C. Webber, Walter S. Fen
ton and Mayor ,Howe for the defendant.

Registration Already Larger Than Dur.
ing Last Year's Fall Term.
The registration of students in Spauld
ing high school at the close of the firet
week of school shows a total of 27P,
which is one larger than at any time
during the fall term last yearj and, in
addition, several more students are ex
pected to resume their studies next
week.
The students are divided by classes,
as follows: seniors, 54; middlers, 30;
juniors. 84; sub-juniors, 102. The rea
son for the small size of the middle
class is that there are no eommercial
students in that class, due to the length
ening of the commercial course at the
time the class entered the high school.
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Smith and Mr.
and Mrs. Dean P. Towne left this morn
ing for St. Johnsbury, where they at
tended the Caledonia county fair today.
