LamOiIIe County Banks.

Editor Hays of the Essex Junction
syndicate papers made an enterpris-
ing hit last week by giving listers
valuation ofthe stocks of the different
savings bank and trust companies
and the national banks of the state.
We are pleased to note that the
two Lamoille county savings banks
are among the first fifteen, while only
nineteen banks in the state rank bet
ter thau the Lamoille County Ma
tioal.
Ofthe sixty-one banks whose stocks
are quoted, the Lamoille County
Savings Bankand Trust Co., of Hyde
Park heads the list, its valuation
being 100. There are only two other
savings banks and trust companies
in the state-the Montpelier and the
Burlington, the former 1876, the lat
ter 125-that are listed as high as
as 12O, thus placing the Lamoille
County Savings Bank ahead of any
thing else in the state, a fact in
which Lamoille county people have
reason to take just pride.
We copy elswhere the article, as it
will interest all, and especially those
who have deposits in savings banks
in Vermont, to note the solidity and
strength of Vermont's financial insti-
tutions.

Another indication of Vermont
prosperity is found in the standing OF
the financial institutions of the state.
Some months ago the Essex Pub
fishing Company sent to the listers
of the cities and towns request
asking the valuation at which the
stock of the banks in their respective
towns was set in the grand list.
In the majority of cases responses
were prompt and the article would
have been given publicity weeks be-
fore this but for the delays in these
exceptional cases. 1t was impossi-
BILE to receive correct answers from
the listers of St. Adams and Benning-
ton and no reasons were given why
the condition Of the banking institu-
lions of these cities should not be
made known to the public. AS every
effort has been made to show the
correct values of the stock of the
several banking institutions, the
banks and trust companies of Ben

nington and st. Adams are left out
of this list.
The fact may be noticed that
straight savings banks are not in
cluded in the list below. This is ow-
ing to the fact, of course, that saw
ings banks which are not also trust
companies do not have any capital
stock.
The fact will be seen that the ma
jority of the financial institutions of
the state are upon solid founda-
ton and that the stock is listed as
being worth more than its par value.
There are 10 institutions whose
stock exceeds the par value mark
of 100. There are 80 institutions
whose stock is listed at par. Three
national banks are listed above 90,
one above 80, four at above 70, three
at above 60 and only one below so
Following are the values placed on
the stock of the several banks by the
listers.

the town officers was taken up. Col.
Sawyer "opened the dance" with a
short speech in which he criticised
the report of Health Officer Slayton,
claiming that that official had ex-
ceeded his authority in doing duty
that belonged particularly to the
Selectmen. DR.. Slayton replied by
quoting law in various forms and
quite a little time of the meeting was
consumed. The point being raised
that the doctors report had not
been acted upon by the auditors put
an end to the controversy.
The various reports were then ac.
cepted and the matter of electing
Selectmen taken up. Several names
were placed in nomination and the
