Stowe Hasn't Any Lawyer

An item is going the rounds OF the state
press that Stowe is the only village OF its
size in the state without a resident lawyer.
Certainly this condition OF affairs is not
warranted by reason of the size of the
town. Stowe has a population OF ap.
proximately 1000. 1t may, perhaps, be
ascribed to the fact that the citizens are
too busy to engagein litigation. Though
slowed away in the mountains at the
end of an electric railroad which has not
proved bonanza for those who invested
their money in the enterprise this is one
of the busiest towns in northern YER
mont 1t should also be noted that but
few towns in the state can offer similar
or equal scenic attractions. - Rutland
Herald
This is very true. However the fact
shouldn't be verlooked that Stowe has
several citizens who know considerable
about law-that is about how to keep
out of the law-and therefore law, suits
are very rare there. When they do get in
weighed in the clutches of law suit, they
usually come to an amicable settlement
before the case gets very old. 1t is this
and good citizenship that makes Stowe
the model town it is, and hard picking
for resident lawyer.
