WAS required 10y the amendment to the

he authorized to bond the village for {;

laturc to the village of st. JohnSbury
adopted 10y the Legislature of IS72.
DIR. Bullard wanted Il free and full
discussion of this whole water question
before amy vote was taken.
Judge Poland thought this act of til,
Legislature was faulty and would h,
wholly imperative; and if we us &;
village made Use of it. we should gel
ourselves into trouble. The act Wa
faulty in several respects which h,
pointed out. such as the fact that n'
one was authorized to issue bonds, etc
Mr.. Dickey said she original act o
incorporation placed the whole business
of the village in the hands of the 1rus
tees. therefore they were fully com
pctent to issue the bonds.
\. G.. Mitchell believed that if Mr.
Willard's resolution was passed, i
would compel the village t" take waite
from the PaSsumpsic river and that b,
the Nergennes pump.
Judge Poland responded T." Nh

the village would get itself into trouble
if they bonded under this act, and IN
said that the Trustees had 80 NOR
