In concluding my work Of inspection |
wish to repeat that this department is in
good condition, showing, undoubtedly, the
| high water mark in membership It IS
| often said that Nermonters always do thu
work well, This is especially true OF the
| comrades Of this department. Everything
has been done well and promptly, and no
department stands higher III all the rogula-
ton duties and requirements than the de-
partment of Vermont
| am corlrade, very respectfully your
obedient servant A. o. GATES.

AT this point the repular business vas
suspendsa and omman1er-in-Cbief Weis-
sert, INSPECTOR General Goodell of Gen.
Wessert's staff. and Department Comman-
der Hall of Massachusetts, we're introduced.
The former gave as one reason wny tie Or
der in Vermont was not larger the fact thot
after a man had been honored with Office in
the department he seemed to lose interest in
it. The siza of the pension roll in this State
proved tho truth of the statement. This is
not as it should be.
Commander Hall brought greetings from
%, 100 veterans in his State. Con. Goodell
spoke of the Importance of thorough work
by department inspectors and alluded to hi 6
duties as inspector general.
