1t is with a great deal of pleasure
that The Examiner takes this hasty
means Of apprising the enterprising
people OF the city of the results of
the municipal bond election held to-
day. The election was grand vic
tory for a Greater Montpelier, and
good, sound Judgment was exercised
by big majority OF the taxpayers
of the city in passing their official
@. K. on the improvement program
outlined by our officers.
The taxpayers showed by their
vote that they have confidence in the
future of Montpelier and want to
make of their home town a cleaner,
more sanitary, a healthier, and a
more desirable place in which to live.
When the taxpayer went to the
poll today to cast his ballot, 1t was
like going to bank and signing a
promissory note to obtain money
with which to make q gilt edged in
vestment. We bespeak for the prop
erty owner of the city a happy out
come of their Judgment today.
In bringing this election to a sue
cessful conclusion, many forces were
brought into service. While the tax
payer was the main factor at the
eleventh hour, yet much credit is due
the Boosters club for the untiring
campaign of education carried on
during the past two weeks. the city
officials in calling special mass
meetings and enlightening the tax
payers, and the constant campaign
ing OF the business men in behalf OF
the bonds.

corresponds in figures and In fact to
the shortage which existed IN the
summer Of 1913. Yet exceptionally

Why? In the first place because the
individual farmer himself gave every
ounce Of his energy to the patriotic
duty Of seeing that the country, at
war. did not lack for food. Old, re-
tired, and sometimes crippled farm
ers, with their wives, went into the
field to help. But important also was
the fact that large numbers Of busi-
