urging that the business of the county did not re-

tablish bank in Iamoille county to take the place

lenders, who not unfrcquently prove eXtortoners.
According to the rule adopted in granting banks,
he thought Lamoillo comfy had made out fair
case.

has as large number of banks as would be bene-
fetal to the public, and when we 90 beyond that
point banks become excresences and dangerous.

subject i'll the late Essex and ~ indsor banks
Windsor county had but one bank, with more cap
ital and larger grand list than Franklin, Orleans,
and Lamoille combined, and yet the latter counties
have two banks.
