workings of a building and loan as
ISOLATION. He was introduced by
Charles E. Peck and began discus
sion of the subject at once.
He is secretary of the Concord
Building and Loan association and
said the object of the association
is to encourage people to own their
own homes and to establish syste-
matte saving. Generally rs or nor'
people draw up articles of associa-
ton and begin business. The stock
is of two classes, investors and Dor
rowers. Each class pays 81 fol
month on each share of stock. Both
classes are necessary, the investor
to help furnish the funds and the
borrower TO use the funds and pay
the income on them. The best pro
portion is two-thirds of the share
holders investors and one-third Dor
rowers. In his company the net in

There are two classes of loans, one
in which the security is real estate
and the other in which the shares
are used as security. The company
charges a premium of ten per ceni
on all loans. That is borrower gives

ROBERT VERNON KILLED
Caught in Shafting at Barre and
Body Badly Crushed

A host of ST. Johnsbury friends
especially those who had known him
in the granite business, learned with
sorrow of the accident which befell
Robert Vernon at Barre Thursda )
morning and resulted in his death
three hours later. Mr.. Vernon went
to Barre two months ago to become
associated with Louis Dubois in tt
granite manufacturing business.
He was working with the polisher;
at about IL As o'clock when his
sweater caught in a swiftly revolv-
ing belt which swept him towards
the ceiling. His cries for help at
tracted instant attention of the
other Workmen and the machinery
was brought to a standstill at once
but not before his body was carried
three times over the shafting. For
each revolution of the belt he was
brought violently in contact with
the walls of the polishing mill. He
was still conscious when carried to
the city hospital but soon after re-
lapsed into a state of coma and died
at 2.04 o'clock. The physicians al
the hospital--found him suffering
with a fracture of the right foot, sev-
eral broken ribs, a fractured Jaw
bone, injuries to the right arm, g
deep scalp wound and other bad in
juries.
Mrs. Vernon was notified of tho
accident and started on the air line
that afternoon reaching Barre at hal
past five before she learned that tn,
accident was fatal. The remains
were brought here Friday Afternoon
accompanied by Mrs. Vernon, Mr.
Vernon's partner, and Thomas Car
SON and daughter, Elizabeth, with
whom the deceased boarded al

LOOKS LIKE DIRECT TAX
Bill Introduced at Legislature-N
Primary Bill This Session

Primary Bill This Session
The tax legislation at this session
looks like bill abolishing offsets for
debts owing and the exemption of
money loaned at five per cent or
less and secured by mortgage and
direct state tax of 10 cents on a dol
lar of the grand list. The killing
senate OF a bill taxing rail
roads SIS on a thousand of their ap-
praised value has made the direct
tax necessary. The bill abOlishing
offsets and exempting money loaned
at a certain rate was expected to be
finished yesterday. and sent to the
governor and it is believed he will
sign it. With this legislation out of
the way the legislature should be
able to adjourn this week. The
house yesterday killed the last pri-
mary bill that is before the legisla
ture so there will be- no legislation
on this subject this session.
The unorganized towns and gore
will have to help support the govern
ment from now on. A rate of $1.25|
been fixed by the legislature to be
used for school, highways and other
purposes.
The bill for construction of a
$4,000 schoolhouse in St. Johns
bury has been ordered to a third
reading and will without question be
passed.
State Detention Farm
The State Detention Farm has beer
passed and is up to the governor
The appropriation has been reduced
to SAT 900 and as it is part of the
party platform those who have ad-
vanced it's cause believe it will be
signed.
A State Purchasing Agent
The state purchasing agent has at
last passed to the governor for his
signature and it will doubtless get
the same along with raise of salary
of the Sergeant at Arms, whose du-
! ties will be reduced in some parti-
| culars and the Office of printing COM
missioner will be done away with.

There are purchasers who find That use

worth buying when apparently their
utility as modes of the moment is past.
For we must remember that there is an

They. too, have mastered the clever little
tricks of adaptation and keep their ward
