past six years, was given a farewell
reception in the par!ors OF the church
last Thursday evening. The exercises

gram, John Mcdonald pleasantly intro
duced D. P. Healey, who spoke few
words in behalf of the members of the
parish and expressed their great sorrow
for the departure of Father Lynch from
this parish, wishing for him, wherever
he was called to labor. the best of results
and assuring him that he would always
be remembered by them with great love
and devotion. At the conclusion OF his
remarks, Mr.. HeaIey presented Father
Lynch in behalf OF the members of the
parish with purse OF $155.
Father Lynch said it was not necessary
that his people should present him with
purse of gold. to show their esteem and
love for him, for he already had been
convinced that such was their feeling,
but be thanked them for their generosity
and said that his prayers would ever be
for the members of St. A1oysius parish
and the good citizens of St. Johnsbury.
At the conclusion of the exercises every
body bad a good handshake with the

of the Passumpsic Savings Bank was
held Wednesday afternoon and these Off

Vice President, Walter P. Smith.
Treasurer, William S. Boynton.
Trustees, Theron M. Howard, Walter

Messenger, Andrew B. Moore.
Janitor, Fred J. Salmon.
The names of Edward T. Fairbanks
and Fred 6. Bundy were added to the
list of corporators.
A dividend of 134 per cent was declared,
the highest the state law will allow, and
81 600 was carried to surplus account,
making the same $54, 900, and leaving
an undivided profit account of $24 900.
This dividend was the 1O2d paid by the
bank, making a total sum of 81, 1885,
587.93 distributed among depositors
since the organic ton of the bank. AL
though the past few dividends have not
been as large as the law allows yet the
earnings not thus divided have been used
indirectly for the benefit of depositors,
by reducing real estate values, securing
first class bonds and investments and
bull ling up a surplus sufficient to pro-
tect depositors against loss, which if not
needed tor that purpose, will eventually
be divided among them, in accordance
with law, there being no stockholders to
absorb it.

A Chapter on Taxes.

Few people are aware of the amount of
during the year or the amount of work
Collector George R. Crosby puts into it.
The town grand list for 1908 was $42,-
797 "a, which represents one per cent OF
the total valuation. The amount of the
town tax was $65,578 80 and the vii
lage tax $35, ,879.26. Discounts, abate-
ments and errors have to be deducted
from these amounts.
In collecting the taxes here 27OO peo-
pie have to be seen, and as many people
have to be seen more than once it is quite
likely that the tax collector makes about
5000 calls year. Mr.. Crosby cannot
charge for his mileage as court witness
can, and he has figured out that he trav-
elled over 1900 miles in 1908. Several
dogs who have accompanied him in his
travels have reached their limit of endur-
ance long since and given up the struggle
for existence. His correspondence with
out Of town taxpayers and delinquents
exceeds 1000 letters year.
Of course the heaviest tax has always
been paid by E. & T. Fairbanks & Co.,
with The Northern Lumber Company
second. For many years B. 6. Howe
was the largest individual taxpayer and
his place is now taken by M. ]. Caldbeck.
Col. T. c. Fletcher and Prof Henry Fair
banks, both of whom are largely inter
ested in St. Johnsbury real estate, are
close seconds, while there are number
of others whose annual tax is large
enough to support good-sized family.

Another Victory.

Company d easily vanquished the
Tigers from Concord, Friday evening, by
the score of 40 to s. The Tigers were
greatly handicapped by playing amateur

shown by Company D team since the
last game and they will probably strike
their usual fast gait before long. All Of
the members of Company D team played
well while Campbell, for the Tigers, play
