Town Treas. Sargent has received call
from state treasurer Field for the excess
Of the Surplus Fund held now
in Bethel which is 1894. We will
henceforth be entitled 20 only s2914.4s of
this fund. This is in accordance with
the new division OF the surplus fund made
since the census of 1880. BY that census
the population OF Vermont is 332 I'D and
as the whole amount OF the surplus fund
IS <6o9, OS6 this would give a frifie over
S2-01 to each inhabitsnt. The 1870 census
gave las population to this town. At the
time that this was first reported great dis
satisfaction was expressed at the figures
and some thought that there must be
some mistake and NJ. A. Moody, q. j.
Wallace, town clerk Adams. assisted
a count which showed that at least over
100 people had been left out OF the official
enumeration. Calling it that there was
only an error of 100 persons, the town
will lose 800 by it.
