that THO efforts Of the Burlington Com

for this city came to namght, the fact
remains that WE sho,id all give this
great exhibition generous support.
The State fair serves TO promote the
interests Of the entire commonwealth,

While Vermont Is making splendid
strides in Misunderstanding. the fact re-
mains that our prosperity as Il whole
must rest largely on the progress OF
our agricultural interests. Lack OF
thorough methods is the crying shame
of farming as a whole In Vermont to-
day. From one hundred to two hun.

In this connection we will duote
what the Montpelier journal says re-
garding the speaeership:
The journal hears that Frank f..
Howe, who represented Huntington
most efficiently In tho last session OF
the Legislature, has been asked by
the republicans of his town to be n
candidate for re-eiection and that he
IL likely to give his consent. Already
his name has been suggested us n
candidate for speaker of the House.
With his Legislative experience, his
wide acquaintance and his familiarity
with State probieme. he would make
a formidable candidate.
Regardless Of the speakership, we
sincerely hope Editor Howe may be
re- elected as Bennington's represent
tative. We have often urged the re-
election of representatives on the
ground that IL a third or SO of the
members could be returned II would
mean a more prompt taking UP of the
serious work of the new Legislature,
and a consequent marked saving IN
time and expense, and Editor Howe
was ono of the most faithful and eff
ficient members OF the Legislature.
Editor Howe's utterance, quoted
above. concerning the rank and file

tadves are not under the thumb OF

urnln no revenue. He stated that
any company such as promised for
the property would give employ
ment to many men. What do we
care who gets the money, as it goes
into legitimate channels anyway,
when the institution of a plant there
such as proposed means millions of
dollars to the city? Operating the
factory will increase the revenue of
the city, while If it remains idle for
the next twenty-five years nothing
will be gained"
Mr.. Frey replied that he opposed
not the sale, but the price. Mr.. Leon
responded and stated that the meet
ing had not been called to deter
mine on a price but to determine on
whether or not to advocate the pro-
posed sale.
Mr.. Conard again arose and said
the company offering to purchase
the land was a thoroughly reliable
concern. They intend to manufac-
ture nothing obnoxious, he said,
their intentions being to manufac-
ture commodities. Their proposition
is, he continued, to pay the receiver
100000 and to spend 100000
o on the erection of a plant.
Three hundred hands will be en-
ployed. The proposed sale, he add
ed, would allow the Middlesex Bank
affairs to be settled, the banks con-
nection with the property dating
back to the time when Hugh Ramsay
leased the shipbuilding plant to the
institution. The city, continued Mr..
Conard, would receive $4,000 in
Middlesex County Bank bonds and
100000 in back taxes.
Following the reading and adop-
ton of the resolution the meeting
adjourned, Besides the Board
of Trade members and local resi-
dents, several city officials were
present.
A copy of the resolution will be
presented at tonight's special meet
ing and public hearing of the Board
of Aldermen, called to consider the
proposed sale.
