Moro Democrats Heard From.
barre Times

Late returns to the Vermont legisla-
tive reference bureau show that several
more Democrats than originally reported
were elected to the Vermont legislature.
Their elections in most instances were
probably due to several aspirants among
the Republicans. When the Republicans
get to squabbling, then the Democrats
find their chance here in Vermont.

The MeddLer
"If the coat fts you. put il on"

When the last town report was is
sued 1t showed Brattleboro's bonded debt
to be $4,000, with additional tempo
rary loans to the amount of S1O3. 100
outstanding At that time the selectmen
,, hopefully explained that 1898, 456. SO of
the above outstanding temporary loans
| is on account of the high water damage
IN the spring of 1920 and bills for the
same have been presented to the Con-
necticut River Power Co. for payment"
At the present time. in addition to the
bonded debt of $4,000 Rrattleboro has
n temporary loan account of SI4S,OO0.
with the immediate prospect OF having
it increased $4,000 by the armory and
Vernon street cement job appropria-
tions. That means total liabilities of
S30s 900.
What The Meddler would like TO know
Is how long the selectmen intend to wait
before putting this big total of tempo
rary loans into the form of town bonds.
Bankers viii tell them, if they do not
know 1t themselves, that they are losing
their bond market by delaying Common
sense ought TO tell them that unless they
intend TO make a prompt settlement With
the Connecticut River Power Co. on the
high water damage account there is
nothing to be gained by waiting on that
score. \ big majority of BrattIeboro
taxpayers would tell them, if The Med
dler reads public sentiment rightly, that
the thing To do is to settle the wateA
damage question without further thought
of litigation and then issue bonds enough
TO take care of the balance. In this
connection it.should be remembered that
$4,000 of@old bridge bonds, bearing
three per cent fall due next April.
The Meddler yesterday asked u or Il
persons selected at random what they
thought of the proposed bank merger
Everyone of them regretted it-not be-
cause they felt that banking facilities
would in any sense be curtailed but be-
cause it seemed to them to mean the
eventual elimination of an institution
that has occupied conspicuous place in
the business life of the town for nearly
half a century and with whose his
tory 50 many prominent names are
linked This is sentiment, of course. and
sentiment doesn't butter much bread in |
banking or any other business. But |
sentiment, nevertheless, is one of the /
qualities that go to make up human be- /
ings, and without it folks wouldn't be /
folks
OF course, when the merger is com
pleted the combined Vermont Peoples
bank will have resources and organiza-
ton enough to meet all present and flu
ture needs of the territory which the two
banks have so well served in the past, .
and there is no doubt that in some ways
there will be distinct advantages in the
but for all of that the SEN
timental factor exists and might as we'll
be recognized. Fortunately, the com
bined directorate of the new institution
will be composed of men who are not
only sensible of their added responsible
les but fully capable of meeting them in
