UNABLE TO RAISE MONEY
First Payment not Forthcoming From
Vermont Creameries Co.

st. Adams, March 12.-From the
present condition OF the affairs of the
Vermont Creameries Co., /. appears
probable that the creditors will have
to make such disposition of the com.
panys property as they see fit. The
first installment of the payment which
was agreed upon by all the parties in
terested has not been made and there
seems to be no prospect of its ever
being made. G. M. Green who was to
provide the necessary funds for the
payment of the creditors of the COM
pany, according to the proposal of set
Element which had been signed by the
creditors, has been unable to raise
the money and action on the part OF
the creditors is now expected.
