An Act Authorizing Towns to Re-
ceive Money in Trust, For Benefit
of Cemeteries and Burial Lots.

BENNINGTON, W., March 18th, 1895.
To the Editor of the Banner:-DEAR
SIR:-You have kindly noticed the act
of the Legislature of 1894, of which the
above is the title, but the importance of
the subject, and the fact that it is a new
thing. impels me to ask that you reprint
the law with the remarks following
The Legislature enacted:
Section l. A town may vote to receive
and hold in trust money, the income of
which is to be used for the care and i'm
provement of its cemeteries, or of private
lots within such cemeteries, or else
where.
Section 2. Such money shall, unless
otherwise directed by the donor, be paid
to the town treasurer, who shall give a
receipt therefor, which shall be recorded
in the office of the town clerk in a book
kept for that purpose. In such book
shall be stated the amount received from
donor, and the specific purpose to which
the use thereof is appropriated. Money
so received shall, unless otherwise di-
rected by the donor, be paid to the gen.
eral fund of the town, and the town
shall perpetually be liable for four per
cent thereof, annually, or if the town
can borrow the same amount OF money
for a rate of interest less than four per
cent, then for such less rate of interest
annually to be expended for the purpose
and in the manner designated by the
donor.
Section 3. A town receiving money

paid or legal measures would be adopted.
Many of them were two, three, and four
years behind and it hurt when they
came to pay, to have to add about $3.50
to the amount due each year. During
the two days about 81 300 was received,
towards the $4,000 that were on the tax
books unpaid. Out of the 500 notices
sent out, nearly 300 were returned Sat
urday as not deliverable, the addresses
being unknown" dead" or removed
from town" There are many more that
it is expected will be fined this week,
and the Collector thinks that consider
able more than half of the whole amount
will be paid in soon. VIM. English was
arrested Saturday, for not paying what
he was behind, and lodged in Jail, and
warrants are ready for quite a number
more. English claimed that he was not
able to pay his taxes and the claim is
disputed by some. 1t is matter of sur
prise how many whose names on the
delinquency list, ARE young men, who have
Oeen at work most of the time, have al
lowed their taxes to get behind so, and
now, when they come to pay the extra
amount added, they see their mistake.
The town and village officers were in ses-
sion large part of the day Saturday,
and abated quite number, it being es-
pecially necessary in the case of the vii
lage, SO that the auditors could complete
their report. The money is coming in
this week at the rate of from $500 to $500
daily. One laughable incident oc-
Cured that is too good to keep.
An elderly man went into the Office
with his hands full of tax notices, and
stated that he expected some money
soon and would pay, but could not do so
that day, Saturday. On being reminded
that the time expired the day previous,
he said; well, ii l am pressed | shall
have to go to the Savings Bank
to get the money" He went.
Latest.-The number of those who
called Monday and settled their dein-
quencies while not as large as on Friday
and Saturday, was large enough so that
several hundred dollars were paid in.
No new arrests were made for not pay
ing, and English yet lays IN Jail, and it Is
said his friends will pay his taxes. Sew
eral more arrests are to be scored within
a few days.

IRNTNThN REFORMS.

The announcement that the Porte viii acccdc
TO the demands of the Powers for reforms In
Armenia is altogether credible. From the outset
a considerable party at COnstantinoplc has been
in favor Of such reforms Another and perhaps
larger party IS opposed TO them. But 1t is not
therefore necessarily opposed 10 accepting the
proposals of the Powers. If the Turks want 10

they may actually afford increased opportunities
