CONFERENCE ON
 THE SHAD BILL. Measure Subject of an Animated De- bate in House.
Especial to The Bulletin)

Especial to The BuIIetln)
 Hartford, April 13.-The act report ed favorably by the fish and game committee. and which was rejected in the house and passed in the senate, and which prevented the taking of shad from the tributaries of the Con- necticut river. came back to the house under disagreeing action. MT. Lan- don of Old Saybrook moved that the matter be temporarily tabled and the motion was lost MT Healey of Wind sor Locks moved that the house insist and called for committee of confer ence.
 MT. Landon announced that the dec laration made when the matter was under discussion in the house, that it was class legislation and unconstltu- tional. was untrue. There can. be no valid argument against the bill, which was passed unanimously in the sen ate as the bill is for conservation IT the tributaries are not closed It means the elimination of shad from the Connecticut river. and the closing of some of the tributaries has resulted in an increase of shad, and the law should include all the tributaries. If not protected, the shad are sure to go. MT Landon asked the members if they were going to consider the wishes of a dozen mercenary fisher men on the Pennington river against the general gOOQ or the pcople OL tilo state. He said these mencenary men could seine every shad in the Farm ington river, and thus make the shad a fish of the past in this state. MT. Landon said: Are you going to pro tect these men sharks: it's a case of conservation and protection, and are you going to stand for right and for the people?"
 Mir. Healey of Windsor Locks spoke in opposition and said if the down river fishermen were sincere in advo- cacy of conservation that they should so disclose by their action. MT. Lan- don declared that it was whole hog or none with the gentlemen from Wind sor Locks.
 MT. Clarke of Windsor declared that shad could not be taken from the Pennington river only at certain times. and that the fishermen in that section were justified in the present method of shad fishing. more so than down the river fishermen. who shipped catches to New York at fancy prices.
 MT. Landon moved for a roll call vote. which was lost. Mir. Healey then renewed his motion to insist and for committee of conference, and the motion prevailed. Messrs. Healey and Clarke were appointed as the com mitteemen which led MT. Landon to

THE HYDE PARK
SAVINGS BANK
Passed the Two and One-half
Million Dollar Milestone
January 1st

On the 21st day of January, 1889,
the Hyde Park Savings Bank opened
its doors to the public. On the first
day of January. 1913 its assets were
So, SIS, 91O.99.
For twenty-four years it has been
a leading factor in the development,
progress and growth of every bust
ness enterprise, within it's legitimate
sphere of busine IS, which has applied
to it for financial assistance and
backing.
In these twenty-four years we have
passed through two monetary or bus
mess panics, panics so severe in the
financial world that the great major
ity of the banks of the country were
compelled to withhold financial aid
to those who asked therefor.
But during all these years the La
noble County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. has never declined a loan
asked for by any business interest Of
Lamoille County, or, indeed, of any
other County in Vermont which
could legitimately expect to be cared
for by this bank.
1. has been a pillar strength
which has never failed in times O
direst financial stress.
1t extends its kindly greetings to
Vermonters everywhere as it COM
mences its twenty-6fth year of sub
stantial progress, and suggests that
when you have any surplus money to
deposit at 4 per cent.-all taxes paid
by the Bank-you make your deposit
with the Hyde Park Bank, feeling the
fullest assurance that in so doing you
will place your money where it is
safe beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Hyde Park Savings Bank has
an earned surplus of $97, 342. IS; its
capital and stockholders liability is
$1OO,OOO.OO so that before any de-
positor could suffer loss, the bank
would have to lose $197, 342 IS,
That such a loss is entirely improb-
able is evidenced by the fact that in
the twenty-four years of the banks
existence it has never lost dollar by
poor note and believes that today
every dollar of it's assets, whether in
notes, bank stocks or bonds, is good
beyond a reasonable doubt.
Write to the President, Carroll S.
Page, or Treasurer, F. M. Culver, for
its January 1st, 1913 statement, 1t
is interesting reading. = Meas and
Citizen.

STEAM TURBINE PLANT
Electric Company Has A Powerful
Modern Plant

A new smoke stack 102 feet high
in Granite Square, locates the new
steam turbine plant of The ST.
Johnsbury Electric Co., now practi-
cally completed. The equipment
OF this new plant, No. 4, is the very
latest word in electrical machinery
and in the tests which have beer
conducted during the past week. it
has been demonstrated that the
plant will do even more than was
expected.
The new plant is located in a
brick building connected with the
power house which was built last
summer by the Cummings Con-
struction company. The power is
derived from two Babcock and
Wilcox water tube boilers of ISL
horse power each. The generator
is driven by a Curtis steam turbine
with a speed of 5000 revolutions e
minute and the capacity of the gen
orator is 500 kilowaJts, more than
sufficient by test, to carry the en-
tire load now carried by the eigh'
wheels located in the companys
various plants.
The steam, after it has done it's
work in driving the turbine, returns
to latest model wheeler condense,
where it cOndenses and by means
OF the vacuum created by an air
pump is drawn back into the boil
ers to be used again.
A representative of the General
Electric company has been here
during the past week to test the
plant and on Thursday night the
entire load of lights was shifted on
the turbine. 1t not only proved
equal to the emergency but there
was considerable reserve power.
The work of installing the new
plant was in charge of William
Cox, and, completed, it is a credit
to the town.
