HOW BONDING WORKS

A Montpelier citizen calls attention
TO tho fact that the recent issue OF
municipal bonds .or better paving
shows how the state can build hare,
surfaced roads, He said something.

with what state and federal aid
they can get.-Rutland Herald.

aid is on the right track as the Ban

and an interest charge of around
! $4,000 a year at first anyway A
state bonded debt would have to be
extended over a considerable term Of
years, having in mind that 1t would
bear just as hard on the poorer towns
as on those rich and prosperous. The
chances are that to build 500 miles Of
cement road and pay for it would
cost the state in principal and inter
est not less than thirty millions, and
probably more.
The city Of Burlington has some

population of the state and not 50

The Water Spider.

A correspondent of English Country
Life describes a peculiar spider that
lives under water the greater part Of
its life. 1t builds a dome-liSe nest of
silk among weeds in ponds and
bitches, and fills the nest with air.
In that strange house 1t lives and
lays Its eggs. In autumn It makes
another nest at greater distance
below the surface of the water, and,
having sealed Itself inside, It sleeps
until spring. Taken out Of the water,
the spider looks like any other. but as
soon as II Is put back the bubble Of
air that 1t collects round It body mikes
It look like ball of quicksilver. II
Is the only spider that has taken &c
a wholly aquatic life, says the writer.

CAN NOT HIDE WEAKNESSES
philadelphia Writer Draws a Moral
From the Life and Works Of
Two Men

There were two men.
One. in order to hide his faults from
the eyes of the public, surrounded him
self with many friends. better than
himself In character.
The other man had single friend,
as sterling in character, sympathles
and perceptions as himself.
In the first case the man fooled the
public, which seemed to see him
through his friends.
In the second case, however, the
man and his friend were misunder-
stood and neglected by the public.
The first man. during life. was
praised and fiattered. for, being very
wealthy. he could very easily purchase
empty words, but not loved or re-
spected.
The second man. after death, was at
last understood, respected, honored
and loved, but to no avail; for he
could not be brought back from the
grave.
It was a case of the same old story
-of an unjust. blind world.

Important callges in income tax

er David II. Blair are embodied in
a Treasury Decision effective De-

Heretofore when an Overassess-

file claim for the abatement Of the
Overassessment or the refund of the
Overpayment. When received the
