VERMONT SENDS slo,7ls
States Contribution to Date to
Library Fund.
Money VIII Go towards Buying Books
for Soldiers ana Sailors-Burling-
ton among Towns That En-
coed Their Quotas.

Professor Samuel +. Emerson of the
University Of Vermont chairman of the
State library commission, and who has
in charge the campaign to raise YER
monts share Of The one :.i.llion dollars
to buy books for our soldiers and sailors,
yesterday sent n check for $9,047.53 to the
national commission at Washington. d. c.
This amount does not represent. however.
the full amount which Vermont has SUBJ
scribed. Many Of the towns in tho State
have sent their funds direct to Washing
ton, because there was some misunder-
standing about this matter. Professor
Emerson has received word from the ma
tional commission which has this cam
paign in charge that $1.666.01 from ver-
mont towns has already been received
there. SO that this brings Vermont's fund
raised thus far up to $10.713.54.
With one town still unheard from in
Chittenden county. the report for this
county shows the sum of $1,7A.15 already
collected from the county. with more to
come. OF this amount. Burlington has
sent in 1885, The other towns Of the
county have responded to the call as fol-
lows: Charlotte, $43.10; Essex. $3.50; Essex
Junction. $3215; Hinesburg, $500: Milton.
$3.50: Jericho. s65.1O: westford. 5000;
Richmond $500; Huntington. 1907;
Williston, 5000; winooski. s109.63. No re-
port has yet been received from st.
George. Shelburne reports $25 already col
lected and more pledged. Charlotte.
williston and Richmond still have num-
Der Of uncollected pledges and will make
final reports in a few days.
Practically all Of the counties in the
State are still working on the campaign
and, like Chittenden, hope to improve their
records before they give final reports. For
this reason, II has been difficult to COM
pile any definite figures. Every day has
brought a few dollars into the treasury.
During the day yesterday. Professor
Emerson received about 500 from different
parts Of the State and he has the promise
Of still more. Many of the towns have
not responded at all to the letters which
have been sent to them. 1t is hoped that
the returns from the State as whole
may be materially increased before the
campaign Is entirely finished, as YER
mont's quota in this project is $4,000
From reports which Professor Emerson
has received from different parts Of the
State. he is expecting that about $1,000
more will be collected. Not a great deal
more than this is expected, and 1t is felt
by some that Vermont has done we'll to
raise $4,000.
Some Of the cities and towns in the State
which already have exceeded their quotas
are: Burlington. $3.50; Rutland, 1910, and
Montpelier. $780, Lyndonville is another
town which has gone over its quota,
through the assistance Of T. N. Vail, who
agreed to double the amount raised In
the town.
