Why Savings Banks Are
Essential

Because people having money to in
vest are often tempted by designing
persons to go into schemes which, while
promising large returns, usually bring
disaster.
Probably there are no more shrewd,
far-sighted conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies.
They employ expert men-men who
make the study of investments their
life work; who pass upon all applica-
tlons for loans and investments; and it
is a fact which anyone can verify by
getting the insurance companies re-
ports, that four to five per cent inter-
est is all these companies are able to
make their loans average.
Those Schemers who would go to I'M
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as we'll get six per cent as four, well
know that if their schemes were solid,
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these life in
surance companies.
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust company of Hyde Park never
takes note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, 1t turns 1t down, because 1t wants
no better evidence that 1t is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than six per cent.
What is the result?
In it's more than twenty-three years
of existence, this bank has never lost

The plans that have been filed with
the town clerk may be seen by the pub
lic They are substantially what are
reported In the local newspapers. The
estimated cost of the new depot is APP
proxmately 100000. The total expendi-
ture required by the railroad compa MES
to carry out the plans, pay land dam
ages, etc, (entirely outside of the cost
of building new tracks into town, re-
laying old ones and rebuilding and re-
arranging the railroad yard) Is esti-
mated at 100000.
The purpose of these resolutions, as
will be noted, Is to absolutely limit the
total cost to the town for the railroad
improvements and changes to $50, 900
and to absolutely limit the cost of the
purchase of the Brattleboro House prop
erty and removing the rock thereon to
S15,500, and to absolutely provide that
no profit shall be paid to the present
owners of the property. SO IL the reso-
lutions pass the town will be certain
that the plan when fully carried out will
not cost more than the sums indicated.
The seectmen and the committee be-
lieve that these resolutions are so
drawn as to fully protect the town, and
recommend their adoption.
