Word from the Bishop.
Burlington, VT, March 10, 1906.
TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
learn that the Rev. Antoine Cler-
mont is erecting a very fine church
building on. land owned by him at
Newport, Vt. Thinking that possibly
the public, the laborers and parties
who may be assisting him in the
erection of the granite church build
ing, may get the impression that this
large and costly edifce is being
erected with the approval of the
Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese
of Burlington, and at the expense
and on the credit of the Diocese of
Burlington, I wish to say that such is
not the fact, and also that neither
said Diocese nor its Bishop have ever
authorized the construction of this
church building, and that they have
never been, are not nov and will not
hereafter be in any wise responsible
for its erection or for the pay ment of
any part of the cost of said building,
or furnishing said church edifice.

Bishop OF burlington.
