To Rebuild Bank Block.
WillBe Modern Block Well Protected
from Fire-Lumber Already On
the Way.

AS stated last week the Citizens Say
ings Bank and Trust Company's block
which was gutted by fire on Saturday,
Oct. 80, is to be rebuilt at once. The
new block will be thoroughly modern
and will have better fire protection than
the one destroyed. The first work will
be the construction OF a roof The direc-
tors have ordered the lumber for this
from the Berlin mills and have received
notice that the first shipment of lumber
was made yesterday. As large a force OF
men as possible will be put to work as
soon as the lumber begins to arrive.
AS soon as the block is covered an
architect will be employed to plan the
interior of the block and as soon as his
plan is accepted the construction work
will be pushed The directors plan to
give the tenants every modern feature
that will add to their convenience and
safety. The old block had four exits in
case of fire but the new block will have
more. One of the new features will be
iron balconies off the windows above
the first story on the south side of the
block which will allow inmates to step
right out of their rooms on the balconies
in case of fire.
All of the people who had Offices in the
building before the fire have expressed a
desire to go back into the block as soor
as their Offices are ready. The Knights
of Columbus and the G. A. R. will have
rooms in the new block.
One thing already decided by the direc
tors is there will be no Georgia pine useC
in the new building. Birch and spruce
has already been engaged for floorint
and some other interior work.
JAMES RTcHTE IN New QUARTERS.
James Ritchie, the merchant, on ac
count of lack of room has engaged tn

Hospital Debt Raised.
Public has Pledged $500 Which
Makes $4,000 Gift Available.

The Brightlook Hospital association
announces that the sum of So, 800 which
it asked the public to contribute to the
institution in order to secure the con-
ditional gift of So 900 and thus wipe out
the indebtedness Of the institution has
all been pledged,
The first contribution for this purpose
was SIS bill pressed into the hand of
Pres. F. H. Brooks at the conclusion of
the clam bake exercises at the fair
grounds after he announced the condi-
tions on which the indebtedness could be
raised. Another gift worthy of mention
was an unsolicited contribution of $500
by a resident of this village who first
learned of the needs of the, hospital
through the local papers. The people OF
Lyndonville and Burke have responded
very generously and contributed in the
aggregate a good percentage of the total
amount raised. This emphasizes that it
is being recognized that Brightlook Hos
pital is not merely local institution.
AS matter of fact only about so per
cent of the patients admitted are from
the town of St. .Johnsbury, the town OF
Lyndon ranking second, and patients
are received from Barnet, Cabot. Con
cord, Burke, Albany, Danville, Irasburg,
Peacham, Newport, Barton, and many
other surrounding towns, as well as
from other states.
The board of directors of the hospital
wish through the papers to express their
thanks to all people who have con-
tributed and shown their interest in the
success Of the institution in other ways.
