THE VOTE FOR LISTER
All Candidates Bot One Live In the
Village

Editor of The Banner: There does
not seem to be much contest for the
town meeting Tuesday except over
the office of lister, for which there
are three or four candidates. All Of
these but one live in the village of
Bennington.
The one who lives outside is Elmer
+. lockwood, who owns farm proper
ty and knows about farm values.
This is the year of quadrennial APP
praisal and it would seem to be fair
to have one man on the board who
lives outside the village
have nothing against the other
candidates Blu think the voters of the
village should not be selfish or un-
reasonable especially as this relates
to such an important thing as taxa
ton. AS a general thing the village
runs the town and the farmers and
North Bennington people have to
take what is left and good many
times there isn't anything left except
to pay taxes. Why not let the out
side taxpayers have one member of
the board of listers?

Rice and Henry Harris were the ones
who travelled with the petition to get
the citizens to sign it to have the
village Incorporated. They said for
electric lights, but they knew Il
could not be done just for lights but
they made the men believe il so they
signed 1t and if they didn't sign it
the first time Monroe asked them
he would come again in about week
and ask them again and even hand
them the pencil and tell them TO put
your name on there If you want
lights Monroe thought he had got
things as he wanted them but when
the second petition got underway for
Non Incorporation the names changed
from first petition 20 second and it
was explained to the people. Side

into the village, sewer put in, no
pigs or hens allowed to be- kept, road
