tr.cts.
Bennington thus comes within is of
having 10000 people and ranks the
same as before as the fourth town in
the state, being exceeded by Burling-
ton, Rutland and Barre.
L. is to be remembered in this con-
nection that the census of 1920 was
taken in the winter when the summer
homes were all closed. Bennington
has upwards of 500 summer residents,

are legal residents and citizens. AL
