MONTPELIER
Large Increase in Grand List Is An
ticipated.

mont Methodist conference took place
at the end of the graduating exercises
Thursday at Montpelier seminary for
the consideration Of the articles Of as
sociation, under which the conference
operates These articles have not been
changed for many years and some
things are not up to the times so that
at the annual conference in White Riv-
er Junction partial arrangements for
changing the same were made. The
meeting Thursday afternoon was along
the same lines, namely Of advancing
the work Of amendment to the arti-
cles.
While the listers have until the l4th
of the month to file the grand list
book. IL looks to-day as though the
work can be completed tomorrow so
that it can be filed at the end of the
days work. There have been well to-
wards 200 names added to the list
since May Is, when the abstract eff
the book was fled. This has necessi-
tated many changes and in frequent
cases these have been property lists
that have been recorded of late, many
Of them estates. 1t looks now as
though there will be we'll towards 5000
lists, very material increase over
that of last year and while there have
not been stonesheds in operation so
there was decrease in the list from
these firms there have been other in
creases so that the grand list bids fair
to be about $4,000 against $4,000
which has been the general list of late
years and upon which the estimates
for this years finances are made.
