DIRECT GOVERNMENT
AID THE TARGET
In House As Shipping Bill Came Up foi
Further Attack
To-day.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2S,--The
direct government aid section OF the
administration shipping bill was the
next target for amendment when the
House, meeting an hour ahead of time
to-day resumed consideration of the
measure upon which final vote will
be taken tomorrow afternoon. The
bill, as it stood to-day, had been
amended in sixl more or less vital
particulars as the result Of the first
day of reading for amendments yester-
day.
Regarded as the most important Of
the anaendments adopted was that
cutting out bodily the provision under
which shippers in American vessels
would receive an income tax rebate
amounting to five per cent Of the trans
portation paid. Others adopted elimi-
mated the section permitting sale Of
ships by the shipping board without
advertising for competitive bidding;
increase from two to four and one
quarter per cent, the minimum interest
on loans from the revolving fund for
ship construction and provided that
the steamship Leviathan, the biggest Of
the government fleet, would not be sold
for less than the cost of her re--condi-
tioning placed $s,l66,000.
Beside the amendments adopted, an
nouncement was made by Rep
sentative Edmunds, Pennsylvania,
ranking Republican member Of the
merchant marine committee, which
framed the bill, that he would offer an
amendment striking out the provision
under which concerns, such as the
Standard Oil company, transporting
their own goods in their own ships,
would share in the government subsidy,

MONTPELIER NATIONAL
BANK nv FINE HOME
Reconstructed Quarters on State Street
Give Ample Room and Hand
some Features.

The Montpelier National bank has
issued invitations TO the public to at
tend the formal opening~of its new
banking rooms and safe deposit de-
partment on Saturday, the I'd OF De-
cember, from | until 5 o'clock p m .
The change from the old 70 new
quarters Is such an event in the his
tory of the bank that this seems a
proper occasion for comprehensive
review Of its past and a comparison OF
its early days with the present
The first bank in Washington county
was organized as the Bank of Mont
pelier in 1924 and received its charter
from the legislature of 1926 was re-
chartered by the state in ls4O and
again in 1853 The changed condition
OF things resulting from the Civil war
brought about a revolution in the
banking and currency Of the country;
and. while well satisfied with the priv
iIeges granted by the state charter, the
directors of the Bank Of Montpelier
considered IL impossible further to con-
tinue business in the face of the re-
strictive and virtually prohibitory
provisions Of the national currency act.
Therefore. in the wintef of lS64-5
steps were taken to establish the
Montpelier National hank to succeed il.
The following is Of interest as il so
well illustrates the honorable character
of the bank management that il can
not be passed over without giving it
a place. When in 1866 the legislature
passed that ll-judged and disgraceful
act limiting the period of redemption
of the then outstanding currency of
state banking institutions, all but two
avaiied themselves Of its provisions.
OF these two EXCEPTIONS one was
the Bank OF Montpelier, which, in
closing up its affairs, arranged with
Mr.. James r. Langdon to redeem its
entire outstanding circulation, receiv-
ing from him an ample deposit OF
United States bonds to insure the car
rying out Of the contract. Thus we're
its currency holders fully protected
from anything having the appearance
and stain of reputation.
The Montpelier National bank was
organized and received its certificate OF
authority from the comptroller of the
currency March 3, 1865. and COM
menced business the first day of June
following. The first directors of the
Montpelier National bank were James
r. Langdon, George G. Shepard, r. r.
Keith, Daniel Baldwin. l. P. Jewett,
Carlos Bancroft and Dennison Taft
In December. 1872, the bank removed
from its old quarters then situated
where is now the so-called postoffice
block to No. l3 State street, where il
has remained for a period of fifty
years. The prcss at the time Of re
moval from below the Rialto bridge -
the present location, referred 70 tho-e
quarters as perhaps the most elegant
and pleasant banking rooms in Yer
mont
For half q century until 1922 these
rooms with various additions and i'm
provements were occupied until i be-
rsme q physical impossibility to con-
three the growing business without sn-
larrement.

according to the estimate of G. N

survey department of the interior,
was about SIS ,208,000, a marked de-
crease from the value in 1920, which
was $31,170,176. AS a result of the
