VERMONT NEWS
News From Fourteen Counties of the
State.

State.
By the report of City Treasurer T.
r. Merrill of Montpelier the auditors
find that it cost $l24,4l0,24 to run the
city business last year. The taxes col
lected amounted to $S7.S06.12 and the
total receipts of the city from all
sources were s190,22025. Among the
heaviest bills paid by the treasurer
were: Streets. sl4,459.39; permanent
highways. $4,125.06; schools. SIG,
street lights, $3,0l6.93; Heaton hos,
pital, $4,000
William Barclay Donald of Hard
wick. has been In consultation with the
committee OH new industries, from the
Morrisville Board of Trade about To-
eating his granite business in Morris
Vile. Mr.. Donald says that in the
spring he would put up plant cost
ing about $4,000. The matter OF eiec-
trio power railroad siding, and exemp-
ton from taxation for term of ten
years has been discussed, and Mr..
Donald is TO make written PROPOSE
ton to the committee.
The report OF F. p Carleton, city at.
torney of Montpelier, shows that only
two cases are now pending In which
the city is interested and both of these
are of long standing and minor impor-
lance. During the past year no suit
has been brought against the city and
none has been instituted by the city.
The city attorney calls attention TN his
report to the fact that since Montpel-
Ter was incorporated fourteen years
ago, no suit for personal injury or
damage has been brought against 1t.
The annual report of the Montpelier
school commissioners shows that they
have not only kept within their appro-
priation of $26.500 but have also turn
ed back into the city treasury $500 OF
this amount. They have also turned
over to the city treasurer from tuition
and material sold, $5S7.52. The com
missioners call particular attention to
the fact that the work of the schools
is greatly hampered by lack of proper
accommodations, that the increasing
need of new building for the high
school purposes Is apparent.

AND COMMENT
ON THE LEGISLATURE

The Joint resolution introduced by
Senator Kidder on Tuesday, providing
for the institution of a card index sys-
tenn in the secretary Of states Office, and
adopted by that body, came into the
House this morning and was adopted
by that body. When the resolution is
approved, Secretary Bailey will com
mence at once upon the indexing of the
automobiles first before he tackles the
;ndexing Of the births, marriages and
deaths. He will keep card list of the
names of the automobSlists who pay
registration fees, and another Of the
number of the machines. The drivers
licenses wilF be kept according to names
and according to the months in which
the licenses expire. The classification
and indexiug of the births, marriages
and deaths is a job that will require
some years As it is now, unless
person knows the town and the year
in which a person was horn, it is alRoIt
impossible to find records in the large
books for that purpose, which date back
over a hslf-centuy. AR. Bailey intends
to 60 at this work a little at a time,
instead Of employing a large number Of
clerks to put through the work rapidly.
