If all of the democrats in the country who
are Disguised with the administration and
their party representatives were to speak
their minds freely, it would undoubtedly be
found that their opposition was more bitter
than even that of the republicans. An in
dication of the extent and character of this
feeling on the part of some democrats is af-
foried by the remarks made by ex-Gov.
HOadly of Ohio in an interview. He said;
don Plat once said that the democratic
party represented tho organized ignorance
Of the country, and the republicans the or
gained greed. Mind you. | am democrat
still but when seq the Southern brigadiers
in Congress trying to ruin the country as
they did in 1861 is it any wonder that ono
gets impatient? If an election were to take
place tomorrow, the democrats wouldn t
carry IA Northern township, and | fear the
next House is already lost
The most partisan republican could not
be any moro severe against the party in
power than is ex-Goy. Hoadly, and mas
much as he has been out of politics for a
| number of years ii con not be claimed that
he is a disappointed office seeker. Allowing
eX-Gov. Hoadly to speak for the rule of

my individual Judgment for the correctness
of what is above said, but have taken the
opinion OF better financiers than myself
No tax is required beyond what is necessary
to meet the current expenses OF the year.
After asserting that there was deficit on
january |, the mayors message proceeds IN
criticism of my estimates of the amount
needed for current expenses This is, OF
course matter Of opinion and judgment,
and should be Indifferent to what is said,
If IL We're not said in such way as to be
calculated to induce the belief on the part of
some that any possible inadcquacy in
amounts estimated is in the nature of
deficiency. The only specific criticism on
the estimates with reference to current ex-
penses is with regard to the estimate OF re
ceipts from the water department. 1t is
assumed that included in the estimated
amount of water rates a sum of S3l 10 to be
paid by the other departments OF the city.
This is, however, not the case.
The normal increase in receipts from
water rates has for two or three years been
about $4,000 year. The amount Of water
rites lust year. including the assessments
against individuals and the departments UNI
collected ON the first of January was $40,
COG. In view of the fact that the water
ed between the departments | estimated the
receipts for the current year at S39, 600, an
amount which judged would be collected
aside from whatever 1t might finally be de-
termiued that the department should pay
This estimate is believed to be cOnserv ative
but it is purely matter of opinion and has
nothing TO do with the question of surplus
or deficit In stating the amount which the
estimated tax would raise / allowed a margin
for shrinkage of about $3.50, and com
puted ON the basis of last years grand list,
although the condition of the city, as borne
witness TO in the mayors message, is guar
antee of a somewhat increased list for the
current year. The mayors message is a
public document of Il formal character in
tended for permanent preservation as part
of the annual city report and as personal
references in such papers are unusual, |
trust my course in presenting the above
facts and considerations will not be deemed
unbecoming. SENECA IIAsEIToN,

ThC CilN's IIimanCcs.

The communication from YMayor Sen
eca Haselton IN relation to the city's finances.
which appears elsewhere in this ISSUE, was
evidently written with the idea that an eff
fort was being made to hold him instead OF
the City Council exclusively responsible for
the condition III which the city treasury was
found at the end Of his administration: but
such was not our idea when commenting on
this subject, and we are certain that Mayor
Van Patten had no desire to cast any rehec-
ton upon the acts of his predecessor. We
stated that we believed each administration
should ''stand on its own bottom 50 far as
responsibility for the city's finances were
concerned, and in calling attention to the
situation at the beginning Of a republican
administration it was desired merely to show
the necessities of the present year. 1t is evi-
dent of course, that if bills payable can not
be realized on during tho present fiscal year
they are of no value as assets 50 far
as this administration is concerned, and
it should be borne in mind that
Mayor Van Patten excluded certain ijems
from previous estimates as not being
available to apply on this years expendi-
lures - If these assets can be converted
into cash in five years or next year even,
but not during the present season, they
will not help to meet the Liabilities Of the
current year, and cannot legitmately be
used in any estimate TO reduce the amount
of money which must DO raised by taxation
| this year.
II may be true that no part of the general
| fund of the city need to be locked up in as
| sessment certificates but as matter of fact
a large bundle of these certificates was
| pigeonholed in the treasury when the new
| administration began. 1t is difficult to see
how these certificates could be rightly class
ed as assets for this year when they were
made payable in five annual nstullments
and are not marketable for banks or indi
viduals, according to the statement Of the
city treasurer of last year, owing to the fact
that the annual payments on them are oil
very small amounts. These can be regard
ed as assets, therefore, only by the city invest
ing in them as it would in any othor bond
The $500 due in taxes from the Rutland
railroad can hardly be regarded as avail
able 10 apply on this years expenditures, -
overlooking for the present the question Of
its colectability. This sum will he paid
according to good authority, only at tn,
conclusion of suit at law, and even i
| judgment should be secured, it could not il
the ordinary course of events in tho court
be collected this year 1t is not proper
therefore, to uso this for the purpose of off
setting taxation for the year now entered
upon.
So far as the steam road roller is con
cerned, there seems TO be no doubt that tn,
city will be obliged to pay for the machin,

Insurance business in Vermont.

Insurance business in Vermont.
There seems to be Il general impression
that the insurance business in Vermont has
fallen off during the past year, but the
summary Of insurance operations in this
State as shown by the report Of the iuSllr-
ance commissioners. Secretary of State G.
w. Brownel and State Treasurer H. f.
Field, would not Indicate such to he the
fact This report is made up from the an
nual statements of companies authorized to
do business i'll Vermont, and it furnishes an
accurate idea of the insurance transactions
of the past year in our commonwealth and
also affords opportunity for comparison with
tho business of the previous year.
According TO the report the fifty-One com
panieS that conducted business in Vermont,
four of whom were recently admitted. wrote
risks in 1913 the amount Of $40. 500 0Ot. 81
as compared with Si11i1. 1890 in 1892
1t is gratifying to note that of Nermont's
four fire companies, the Vermont Mutual of
Montpelier wrote risks in 1898 aggrcgating
Si.963. 1850 rs compared with @G214.-
246. 90 in 1892, an increase Of nearly 500.
600. The Union Mutual wrote 50 1893,
1879 &c, a gain of about $4,000 over the
previous year: the New England OF Rutland
wrote 81, 22l 10000 against 81, l4J,9S1 in
1892; and the Rutland of Rutland, which
recently began operations $40. 9il.S 6 The
fifty one fire insurance companies received
$764 1868 in premium, in 1893 and
SIS 3S1 Oh in 1892. The fire losses paid in
1893 amounted to So / .G21 AZ, against SJ2J,
ass 80 in 1898.
Twenty-one life Insurance companies of
other States which conducted business in Yer
mont had 1850 policies in force in 1898
amounting to %20. $40 CAS-. The value of
the policies issued in 1888 amounted to 50.
AIS, 91j 90 against s., 0S9. So. 9S in 1892
The premiums paid on policies amounted to
SGS2, 300 % in 1898, as compared with
S628. S0i / in 1892 These companies paid
losses amounting to %2t4, G91 80 in 1898,
against $500, 42O.56 in 1892.
The Vermont life insurance companies had
policies valued at SO, 500 Oh in force in 1893,
and during the year they issued policies
amounting to s. 10, 102, as compared with
$40, ono in 1892. Their pren iums on policies
amounted to Sl20, 1j9.;, in 1893 and to
$101, SIG 26 in 1892 The losses paid 10y the
home life insurance companies amounted to
Sj4. S7S. 70 in 1893 and to SOB 913 in 1892
1t can be seen, therefore, that tho year
1893 was a prosperous one for life insurance
companies IN Vermont, and while the fire
insurance companies We're obliged to sustain
heavy losses there was a marked increase in
their business. The insurance commissioners

TaNn,ion in Ncrmont,. Largc Towns


The residents of Vermont will be interest
ed in a bulletin which has just been issued
by the census bureau. dealing with the sub
ject OF the finances of municipalities having
a population of 1000 or more. The figures
contained in the bulletin have been summal
lied from the final reports of the last cen
sus. and contain statements showing the
>ossed valuation of real and personal prop
erty, the total taxation as well as the rate
per capita and per 500, the valuation of
property, the debt per capita and the true
and assessed values of real estate.
Burlington heads the list with an assessed
valuation of both real aud personal property
Of $40, l4j, i3 Rutland, including the town,
has a total assessed valuation of 81, $50. 30;
Bratteboro, 81, 23l, ,24; Rockingham, in

GLIDING Winooski, 81. 334 220. The rate of
taxation per 500 in the respective towns is
as follows: Montpelier s.. OF. Rockingham.

st. Adams, sl64; Rutland, ST. 53; Brattle-
boro, Sl.IS: Burlington and Barre, EACH

| In comparing the rates of taxation be
tween the several places, it should be borne
in mind that the relation of the assessed
valuation to the true valuation varies great
| ly, and what is apparently high rate Of
| taxation may be owing, not to an excessive
levy but to the low value placed upon the
! property assessed, requiring the rate to be
correspondingly high in order to yield the
desired revenue 1t would seem, therefore,
that the taxation per capita represents more
nearly the relative burdens imposed by the
| tax levy.
! Referring to the figures given by the bull
! letin relating to the tax levy for all pur
poses on real and personal property, We find
the rate per capita in various Vermont
towns to be a. follows: Montpelier Sl4. 81,
| Rockingham, 1913, II; Rutland, $40 %; Bur
lington. 80 81; Bratteboro, 80. a. st. Johns

the amount of Indebtedness of the vari
Gus towns referred to per capita, less sink
ing fund, in $50 was as follows: Moutp4l
Ter. $40. 81; Bennington $30,22; st. Adams
$29. 81 st, Johnsbury. S2G 50: Rockingham

SIG, 96s; Rutland 1884, 4l4: st. Adams
1921 900: st. Johnsbury. 81 10 900.
This comparison makes a very favorable
showing for Burlington, and in view of th
excellence of our streets and other public
works as compared with those of other Yer
mont towns, our residents have every rea
son to be satisfied with the results of tn
comparison drawn from the last census.

and if the roller was returned that sum was
to constitute the payment for its use. 1t is
serious question whether or not the street
commissioners have any right under the
terms Of the State road statute
to use any part of the proceeds
Of the road tax for such purchase
instead of for permanent improvements, and
even if they had that right, it would be an
imposition to require them to divert $4,000
FROM their regular fund, which is small
at best in view of the manner in which the
highways in general were neglected last year
for the work of putting streets in condition
for the electric road.
As to the estimate for receipts from water
rates, all that needs to be said is, that in an
swer to a direct question about the matter,
the superintendent of water works definitely
stated that the sum of S39. 900 included
So, 10 from the departments, and a debt
from one department to another can hardly
he regarded as an asset, especially if there
is no money to pay it, It was upon this in
formation that Mayor Van Patten based his
statement, but it is to be hoped that tho cx-
mayor statement that he expects that
S39, 900 will be realized without anything
| from the departments, will be justified by
| the outcome in the case
If any of the assets excluded by Mayor
| Van Patten as not available to apply OH
this years expenditures should prove to be
worth their face value during the current
fiscal year, it will he pleasure as well as
our duty to state that fact, but until that
time comes the republicans must firmly bat
respectfully decline to become responsible

mission Of a democratic City Council.
