recent campaign vas conducted in u,
state 10 raise $4,000 70 match the
7 $4,000 given for TINS purpose b. Mis-
Emily Dutton Proctor and Redheid
Proctor. Reports which have come
into the headquarters Office 81 the
j Vermont tuberculosis Association in
Burlington, and which were announced
II The meeting 81 the executive com
mittce Of that association there We'd
nesday, show that a total Of S55-046.l2
has been secured in cash and pledges
throughout the State, and there are
some towns not yet heard from. II is
hoped that full reports may show a
total Of 100000.
I or the S55,046.l2 already accounted
for, 81 .0lS34 has been turned in TO
the headquarters Office in cash; Sl6,-
564 so has been raised, but not turned
in, and S7.4627O is in pledges.
Five counties in the State oversub-
scribed their quotas in the recent
drive. There were: Washington coun-
~ with a quota Of $500, which sub
scribed Sl0,SS3; Chittenden county
with a quota Of $4,000 which sub
scribed S10,7Sl; Rutland county with a
quota Of 5000, which subscribed So
134.47: Windsor county with quota
Of S.. 200, which subscribed $500; and
Bennington county with quota OF
So 900, which subscribed a quota Of
S3,023. The other counties in the
State have not yet raised their quotas,
according to present reports, but in
some Of the other counties the reports
re not yet complete, and IT is hoped
that when all reports are in, it will be
found that every county has reached
its quota and collected its pladges.
Several Of the cities and towns in
the State doubled the quotas assigned
to them. Proctor, with quota Of
$500, raised 81 ,347S5; Fair Haven
with q quota OF S400, raised more than
$1,000; Middetown Springs with a
quota Of 500, raised $500; Montpelier,
with a quota of 81 500, raised $4,000
Burlington led the State in the
amount raised, the total for the city
being SS,A2143. Burlington's original
quota was $500, as assigned from the
Headquarters office on the basis Of pop
ulation and grand list. il was left
with the chairman of each county,
however, to raise the quota Of any city
or town in his county il he thought
best. County Chairman Beecher rails
ed the quota for Burlington to $4,000,
which was passed by good margin,
ae seen by the report. Barre went
well over it's quota Of $500, raising
s., 900.
