millions of dollars, have made no assessments, q
had at the date of the last report balance in IA

II. The increasing business and increasing cash
fund warrants the belief that no tax upon their

and Observation-Disclosures for all losses IN The
Counties oil Franklin, Lamoille, Grand Isle and

increasing fund now in the treasury TO meet any
IacSaS haf mn u and the DpculIar canton
they adopt in the rejection Of applications, ON
pfanerty in large villages and other places where
