SEC. HINMAN RESIGNS
AFTER FOUR YEARS
Much Progress Has Been Made BY Barre
Granite Manufacturers Association
During His Term of Office.

Harold P. Hinman, for the past four
years secretary treasurer of the Barre
Granite Manufacturers association, has
rendered his resignation to the board Of
directors. The resignation was presented
to the directorate at a meeting last even
ing, and while action was deferred, Mr..
Hinman made it clear that his early af-
filiations with another enterprise require
an acceptance Of the resignation in the
near future. The retiring secretary's s
plans for the future, although quite com
pleted, are not announced.
Information Of his contemplated re-
tirement from the office Of secretary.
treasurer was uumistakably commented
on in terms Of regret by members to-day.
Much that the most faithful well wishers
of the industry never anticipated has
been achieved during the four years of
Mr., Humans Office tenure, and directors
as well as other members of the associa-
tion are unanimous in crediting much Of
the progress to his enthusiasm, energy
and executive ability.
Mr.. Hinman, just prior to his accept
ance OF the association Office, was an ac-
tive figure in the lumber industry of CEN
tral Vermont, having assumed the man
agement of numbering project in the
towns of Plaintield and Orange soon after
his graduation from Dartmouth college.
In 1914, when Charles II. Wishart, a
longtime secretary Of the association,
resigned to accept the treasurership of
c. r.
was elected to succeed him. In the years
that followed he has amply justified the
expectations of those who recommended
him for the position. In addition, Mr..
Hinman has been active In every move
ment that had for It's first purpose the
promotion Of the civic welfare of Barre.
and if ii transpires that he is to locate in
another field, the community will sustain
real loss.
His resignation, dated Dec. 3, is as fol-
lows:

ers' association, barre, Vt.
