Question. IS Is there good reason
to believe that the present debt can

pay excess value, but the time j.
reached when people refuse 10 fur
nish goods unless they can be as
sured Of full payment. The cit,
then has no option but to pay wha.
IS demanded or do without th,
goods.
From April IS, 1905, to April
1909. the amount Of warrants IS
sued for general purposes was ap-
proximately 500 per month. As
suming that the city paid an aver
age excess in value in allcases Of So
pr cent the loss would be $4,000
lp-r month This IS probably tar
average. At recent meeting Of
the council when a large number Of
bills were presented, the city 5
creditors asked excess values Of
from IS TO 40 per cent In one
case a bill for about sr8 was pre-
sented and on the bill was this au-
notation, u win accept s. in cash. X
The last was an exceptional and
possibly an unreasonable claim.
Now the proposition Of the conn
.cil- briefly stated, is that the city
shall issue bonds TO the amount Of
$4,000 bearing interest at 5 per
cent, maturing in 20 years, to take
up these warrants and place the
city on cash basis. That is 10
say, with the debt in the form Of
warrants wiped out, the city will
pay all claims arising from expendi-
tHes for general purposes in cash,
thus saving the excess in prices
that must be paid when warrants
are issued. saving amounting as
above stated to at least SI2o per
mouth.
The financial condition Of the
city is similar to that Of an indivi
dual who owes Tom, Dick and
Harry and about fourteen others
small sums. His credit is impaired
and he finds it almost impossible
to do business on satisfactory
basis. Now a friend comes along
and offers to take up all his debts
4 he will give him his note for the
entire amount at a low rate Of
interest, with easy payments that
he can meet as they fall due He
lccepts the offer and is thus en-
lbled 10 continue his business in a
satisfactory manner. His debts
re not increased but simply chang
j in form. In the present instance
he city's debt is changed from the
orm Of warrants bearing Q per cent
interest TO bonds bearing 5 per
ent.
The proposition thus far looks
Ike a simple one and seems to leave
tile room for doubt as TO the
purse the city should pursue. Il
,oks like a plain business PROPOSE
Oh aud were there no other feat
res Of the proposition to be con
dered, no one could be in doubt
to how to vote on it. But there

ANALYZING THE
BOND PROPOSITION

The ExPREss Aas stated that II
proposed 10 discuss the bond propo.
sition in all is phases as fully as j.
is capable Of doing 1t has pointed
out certain superficial arguments
which have no bearing on the ques
ton. II has shown that it IS bus
iness proposition-that partisan
politics is IN no way connected with
il. II has also shown that the
question as to whether script hold
ers will gain or lose by the transac-
tion IS not a relevant one, but that
the only question is "wilI the city
profit or lose by it?" If the city
will gain BY it, the fact that private
parties will also be benefited is no
argument against it; and if the city
will lose BY it, the fact that indi-
viduals will suffer is not an argu-
ment for it.
What IS the situation that gives
rise to the occasion for bond is-
sue2
In tie first place, the city has
debt of approximately sz2. 10000
in the form Of warrants, on the
general fund, bearing interest at 8
per cent The EXPRESS will give
the history Of this debt as soon as
it finds time to make an investiga-
tion of the original records, but it
may be stated now that the debt
was contracted when the city's in
come was Limited and certain ex
penditures, wisely or..unwisely, were
made Since April Is, 1903 when
the present administration assumed
this debt. has not been in
creased, but on the contrary has
been slightly diminished. The rev
enues Of the city applied to the
general fund have proved sufficient
to meet current expenses and 10 de-
crease the total debt by few hum
ired dollars. As most people are
aware however, the current reve-
nues, instead Of being applied di-
rectly TO the payment Of current
must be applied to the {
payment Of old warrants, since the
law requires that all warrants shall II
be paid in the order in which they 1
are issued and registered. All cur c
-ent expenses of a general nature 1
must be met therefore by warrants t
irawn on the general fund. Il
With these warrants outstanding $

RsOort of state Audubon Society.

During the past year the Audubon
society has endeavored to form prahch
societies I'm various parts OF the state
with notable success In several towns.
Societies have been organized in Cas-
Teton Proctor Essex Junction ana
Springfield. We had previously or
ganzed societies In Williamsville ana
Putney. our three travelling libraries
have been In circulation In several
towns during the year and we nave
received appreciative letters from the
teachers who have had the use OF
them in their schools. one teacher
writes: Before these books were
placed in the hands of teachers and
pupils, there was practically no inter-
est In the subject of birds on the part
of either. Now there is no lack OF IN
terest in the community. II scarcely
seems possible that so much could
have been learned in so short a time.
In our own town while there mas
been little organized work done, there
has been much individual work, ana a
stimulus given to bird study and pro-
lection. Many of our citizens are m
terested in feeding the birds through
the winter months. and II Is pleasant
to record that several of the teachers
in our public schools have placed
shelves outside the scnool Wihuo"s
for the benefit of the birds who come
there for a daily lunch, thus pleasing
and interesting the children VINO

PERILS OF LAND AND SEA
Captain Wilnef's Remarkable Escape
Shows What to Do in Time OF
Trouble.

For many years, Captain Wilmer
saws the Times of Gloucester, Mass,
was one of the best known seamen IN
the Gloucester Fleet. The catarrnal
troubles with which he suffered Tor
fifteen years made him dread the
nights at sea, being unable to lie down
and sleep on account of the constant
catarrhal dropping.
Captain Willnef went to two diner
ent hospitals for treatment, but couid
get no lasting benefit. He constant.
ly raised yellow and green phlegm and
his trouble became so unbearable ana
nauseating that he was ashamed 10
90 out in company. Wien despairing
of ever getting relief, his wife pur--
chased a Hyomei outfit for him, and
irving it before going to bed, he en-
loved the first whole nights sleep for
ten years. Captain Willnef says: i
have used less than two bottles OF
Hyomei and have been cured by the
remedy"
Hvomei kills the germs of catarrn
and makes lasting and permanent
cures. George E. Greene sells Hyomel
under his personal guarantee to re-
fund the money If it does not give
quick relief.

The South Londonderry Postoffice.

The Londonderry Sitter takes eX-
ception to the appointment of Loren
Pierce as postmaster of South Lon
donderry on the ground that Congress-
man Haskins did not consult the
wishes of the patrons of the office.
The Sitter says:
TT is understood that Congressman
Haskins has recommended the APP
pointment of Loren r. Pierce. This,
il is alleged, was cooked up in Brat
tleboro fair time and the Recommended
ton was sent in with a petition bear
ing some half dozen names, quletiy
and almost secretly obtained. Very
naturally, without decrying the quail
fications of Mr.. Pierce, which are al
mitted, this raises the query, is the
postoffice at South Londonderry a
chattel belonging to Congressman
Haskins to be dealt out to his friends
without consulting the two hundred or
more patrons of the office? The read
err can consider. But the only good
II will do will be to satisfy his own
mind as to how the powers that be do
things" -
Congressman Haskins NAV be be-
lieved when he says that the selec-
ton of postmasters is not function
Of his office that he covets. The facts
in the South Londonderry case throw
4 somewhat different light on tne
matter from what the Sitter article
indicates. The resignation of Post
master Goddard was rendered in Or
der to escape inevitable dismissal LOT
alleged Irregularities in his account.
9There seems to be no evidence tnat
the postmaster was dishonest, but MS
work was not satisfactory to the de-
nartment. and Congressman Haskins
was called on to name suitable sue
cessor at once. Mr.. Goddard's service
has been satisfactory to the patrons OF
the office. but not to the government.
The netition on which Mr.. Pierce was
recommended bore twenty signatures
of the most prominent patrons OF the
office. including that of the edltor OF
the sitter who subsequently erased
his name. ,.,;o,, ~
II is true that the first discussion ot
tho matter was at about the time Oh
the Rrattleboro fair, but the petltion
was mailed to Congressman Haskins
from South Londonderry ana there
appeared to be no objection 10 tIe az
monument, and is not now, as lar az
the character and ability OF the ne"
postmaster is concerned. =.
Congressman Hasklns's desire ai ~
consider postoffices chattels nar9ly
seems to be in question uhoet
the circumstances The cltizens OF
londonderry were not compialnlns
the government was. A reasohaUe
effort to assure himself that the new
man would be satisfactory ana capapl.
and trustworthy seems to be all tna'
was required.
