AN OLD CHANCERY CASE
SETTLED

P. & o. Railroad Adjusted

continued in Caledonia county court, at

1t was the case of James d. Bell of WAL
den against the Vermont division of the
P. and o. railroad company.
This case was first brought in 1880 by
Judge Bell, who was the father of the late
Gov. c. J. Bell of Walden. for labor and
materials furnished for the completion of
the Vermont division of the now St. Johns
bury and Lake Champlain railroad, and
the bill was originally for about $4,000.
This bill was not represented in the So
called Poland foreclosure and cross bill
brougt in the original settlement of the
roads affairs.
This case first made its appearance in
1880 and has been continued from term to
term for different reasons until its bare RED
ord takes two pages of the finest size
type on the court docket.
During the period of the case maHy
prominent Vermonters appeared in therec-
cords of its progress: L. P. Poland, Chas.
J. Bell, Edward S. Phelps, A. E. Rankin.
Rodney Lund, John H. Senter, Mason S.

MANAGEMENT COSTS
LOW FOR RED CROSS
National and Division Head
quarters Take Less Than
T. Per Cent of Funds.

Red Cross Roll Call-the fourth an
nual enlistment of members in the
American organization-w will be held
here November II to 25 Officers in
charge of the Roll Call for the chapter
of which this city forms a part how
ever, feel that the canvass in this
section practically can be completed
within the first week of inc time set
should the present plans for intensive
work be followed out
In all its work preparatory to the
Roll Call the Red Cross this year, as
last has laid stress on the point that
the movement is purely a dues gather
ing activity, and not to be confused
with drives" or other campaigns.
The national body also is laying EN-
phasis on the fact that more than 80
per cent OF all membership fees Sc
cured here remain in this community,
and on the low overhead cost OF
the organization.
while the Red Cross has not been
subjected to that violent criticism Of
extravaganza and waste which has
been attached to some activities re-
sulting from the war and its after-ef-
fects," said az officer of the national
body recently, I'VE are pleased TO be
able to make public the fact that
management cost at national head
quarters and in the II divisions has
amounted TO less than per cent Of
the total expenditures by the organi-
zation. This is a turnover expense so
small as to establish mark for many
a commercial concern TO work toward,
and on its face proves that for the
Red Cross, organization efficiency and
economy are not only ideals but
achievements"
