Help for Hard UP Towns.
(Rarre Times

If the Vermont legislature should be-
gin to grant these numerous requests
from small towns for assistance in car
rying out some municipal project or to
make good some damage done there
would be no end of the requests-and
the larger cities and towns, which are
already carrying very heavy load,
would be justified in fling application
alcng with the smaller places. Some
Of the small towns of Vermont may
feel that they are carrying a heavy fl
naneial burden but their burdens were
comparatively slight when placed along
side the problems of some of the larger
towns which are not making any partic-
ular statewide complaint about their
trouble but are going about the task of
meeting the demands ia their own way.
There is, of course, sympathy for the
small and struggling communities of
the state and this sympathy has taken
more or less tangible shape in indirect
contributions to support of various
projects in those towns, notably
schools; but there must be limit to
these calls, else there would not be
equal justice to all.

Sweet thoughts revolving in his mind
A strange, new object met his eye,
He stopped and uttered one wild cry.
