made at times to raise funds to erect suita-
BILE soldiers monument to commemorate the
names of the brave men who shared in the
late struggle to save our Union. To this
| date nothing has been accomplished. Now,
in consideration of those services, and of
| the large sums of money paid annually on ac-
count of pensions why should the erection
| of a monument be delayed? Even if Mont
pelier and East Montpelier should unite in
erecting on the capitol grounds monument
costing at least $1,000 or still better, if
| Washington county would Join in an out
lay of $1,000 for very massive and ap-
proprate structure (the county list being
about $3.50 000). the tax would be small (only
three and one-third per cent? and the bur-
/ den would scarcely he nOtlCeable. would
| it not be well for this matter to be consid-
cred and acted upon at our coming town
meetings? The amount paid to pensioners
in this county is over $4,000 per annum. of
which $4,000 is secured by those residing
in Montpelier.
