TOWN QUOTAS AND THE
AMOUNTS THEY RAISED

Bennington county has reason 70
congratulate itself on the showing
made during the Fourth Liberty loan
campaign. Every town in the county
has exceeded its quota and the entire
quota for the county has been nearly
doubled.
The 1884 subscribers invested ST.
I79,S00 in the loan, which is an aver
age Of s296l3 for each of them. The
subscribers were divided as follows;
Arlington 3l9, Bennington 1856, No.
Bennington 434, Dorset 900, Glasten-
bury 2, Landgrove 9, Manchester 434,
Peru 26, Pownal 269, Readsboro 119,
Rupert Ga, Sandgate 81, Searsburg IL,
SALISBURY 10, Stamford GO, Sunder-
land 81, Winhall 60, Woodford Z.
Rupert, which does mos Of its
banking in New York state, took an
additional $4,000 in that state, which
is not credited in this report for the
county.
The town of Bennington raised more
than the quota for the entire county,
With North Bennington included it
subscribed 213 per cent Of its quota.
Considering this in connection with
the fact that Bennington tripled its
quota to the Third Liberty loan, the
town may be pardoned for looking
with pride upon its war work along
this line.
