When Mr.. Braley reminded the
audience that the town and village
debt was $160,000 he added that
this was much smaller than other
municipalities Of this size or small
er in Vermont. He further declar-
ed that he did not think it good
policy to be out of debt as there
would be too many schemes pro-
posed that would soon saddle a big
debt on the municipality, One of
the speakers cited the big bond
issues in Montpelier and Windsor

ments and another made the sug-
gestion that the village trustees,
