PLENTY OF MONEY.

The Manchester listers report
that they found In that town $70,-
! 1877 loaned at per cent on April
and therefore exempt from taxation.
The new law went into effect about
February 20, and if $4,000 could
be loaned in a town no larger than
Manchester between then and April
1, it is evident that the call for
cheaper money in the state of Yer
mont was a real call and that 1t is
being Needed The claim that there
would be no money available is not
being borne out if Manchester is a
fair example. Bennington Banner
The Banner evidently did not
think very deeply before comment
ing on the large number Of five
per cent loans in Manchester. The
listers found that good proportion
of the money loaned by its tax
payers was originally at five per
cent and had been at that rate for
some time. The balance of the
total amount of exempt loans was
changed to the rate Of five per
cent by written agreement or by
endorsement on the notes, before
April first of this year, which the
parties had an undoubted right to
do.
1t is a fact that there were no
loans at five per cent between the
time the law went into effect and
April first, in the town of Man
chester.
The object OF the act is accom-
plished, as the borrowers in this
state are getting the benefit of the
five per cent rate and the lender
the benefit of the exemption.
We fail to see that this act bene
fits the debtor class generally, as
this class is paying, In this town,
tax on $115.SS9.00 in personal pro-
perty, which was offset under tn,
old law
