asking Representative Bundy to use his
efforts to obtain for st. Johnsbury some
| form of a city charter " hich may he sub
mitted to the people of the town for ac-
ton according to law. There seems to be
a decided feeling among business men gen

her present form "A government and either
| there must be some radical changes in the
present charter of the village. or else 1t
| ought to be given up entirely and an up
to-date city charter adopted Several Yer
mont towns have adopted city form OF
