The Vermont Development Asso-
ciation.

Last fall, party of gentlemen from all
over the state, got together at Burlington
to talk up how to develOpe the state and
bring more active capital into it, and so
benefit all. At the meeting the chairman
appointed a committee of twelve to draw
up the constitution and bylaws Three
weeks later the gentlemen were called to-
pether to hear the report of the commit
mittee, which report was received and
unanimously adopted, and an association
started called the Vermont DevelOpe-
ment Association
Article ii states: The object of this
association shall be to make known to
non-residents the advantages of the state
of Vermont for both summer and perma-
nent homes, to initiate and promote
measures calculated to increase such ad-
vantages including the legislation, as, in
the judgement of the members, shall tend
toward those ends, whether the same
shall consist in the repeal of statute laws,
now existing, or in the enactment of adj
ditional laws which will tend to induce
people from other states and cities to
make their residences here and thereby
increase active capital in the state In
Article III we find that: The member
shin of this association shall consist of
all citizens and residents temporary or
otherwise of the state Of Vermont, as,
being interested in the object set forth
in article ., shall become members, as
hereinafterp provided.
In some places to promote manufaC-
ture where it is feasible The initiation
fees and annual dues were set at SO per
annum The organization has not met
for permanent oganization, as the gen.
tlemen connected with it thought best
to inform the prominent gentlemen
throughout the state that such an organ
ization was forming and was to be
state organization made up of prominent
gentlemen throughout the state, and so
each member would work for his own
home and the community in which he
lives.
The members will be called together
for permanent organization, probably
the middle of September Due notice
will be sent to each member week
ahead, and it is hoped that a full at
tendance will be on hand, as at that
meeting plan of action will be adopted
II. r. G. Watson of Brandon and w. A.
Weed, Jr of Shelburne are going through
the state, acquainting prominent gentle
men of each town and city of the object
of this association, and are meeting with

tion and those interested with him in the
project to spread Thanksgiving dinner
before the vendors of daily newspapers
in their own home.
That Mr. Merrill is in earnest in his in
tentions was shown by his purchase OF
the building which was built and is now
used by the congregation of Burns chap
