RUTLAND BANK MR OPPOSED Minority Stockholders of County National Object to Combine with Baxter National. BIG FIGHT SEEMS IMMINENT Oloment and Ripley Hold a Little Less Than Half the Stock Two-Thirds Vote Ne cessary. Rutland, Dec. 7. A move In opposition to the proposition to merge the Hutlaml County ami the Haxter National banks of this city In order (tint 1pm capital may bo tied up In banking In this city developed to-day at the Instigation of minority stockholder of the county bank. A circular statement to stockholder tell ing of the condition of the bank nnd KUKKcstlnK reduction of the capital stock without the merger ims been prepared lor issuance over the signatures of Charles M. Smith, Hobeit A. Lawrence, L. II. Jtolntlro and Frank J. Qtiinn of this city. It has been generally believed up to bwlay that the stockholders of the Haxter nnd County bank? would voto unanimous, 'v on December 27 to consolidate but the tippcaranco of the circular lends to the belief that there will be a big fight. There are 3,000 shares of stock In the Hutland County hank and In order to effect a consolidation a two-thirds vote I neces sary. It Is understood that the holdings of the two largest stockholders, tho Clement Interests and Gen. B. H. Ripley, represent a little less than 1.5(0 shares and It Is doutbful whether enough small piockholders wilt vote, with tho Clement a id Ripley forces to effect the merger. I- is presumed that the two largest share 1 ddcrs are In favor of the change. COUNTER PROPOSITION IPSCKD. The statement ' issued by tho mlnor 1 y stockholders sets forth that the i -tsets of the county bank are $415,000 I'd If the business were wound up . ml the assets realized upon ea.ch hhnra would receive $13S 1-3. The j roposltlon of those In favor of the merger Is to reduce the capital stock from J80O0AO to $100,000. The minor ity stockholders assert that If this re Auction is made by returning to tho ftockholdcrs $200,000 with surplus and undivided profits of $30,000 there will be a capital stock of $100,000 and $65,. WO surplus with which to do business nnd no change In business relations nr location will he necessary. It is j Inted out that the mere reduction of t-p capital stock would enable the r .unty bank to pay a much larjrer r.ito of dividend than it has heroto f re earned. It is bolieved that a new national bank will be organized here If tho merger vtoes through. Who will back I' has not yet been made public. SHE TAUGHT 50 YEARS.

At the adjourned meeting It was voted to set a date for the hearing of charges aralnst Mr. Towers nt the next icuulnr meeting of the board. This action was taken be cause many members of the board do not earn to leave their places of buslnens during the holiday season. The meeting of the boaid of abatement of taxes was also adjourned tintii the January meet ing of tho board. Perhaps the most Important thlt v to come up at the regular board meeting was a resolution relating to child labor, Introduced by Alderman Cowles and adopted by 'the board. The resolution follows: "City of Burlington, In the year 1J0B. Resolved by the boatd of aldermen o- the city of Burlington, as follows: "Whereas, charges from respected sources have come to the attention of this board that children are Ulerally em ployed In the mills of this city and "Whereas, our city charter provides that the mayor shall use hl beat efforts to see that the lawa and the elty ordi nances are enforced and that th dutlea of all subordinate officer are faithfully pet formed, now, therefore, It la "Resolved, that this matter be and is hereby respectfully called to the attention of the mayor for euch action as shall to him seem advisable to the end tha" such conditions, If they should be found f ex ist, shall be promptly and effectively remedied." Alderman Cowlea stated that recently at noon he visited the vicinity of the Chaee mill near Wlnooskl and saw a group containing four children under the school age leave the mill. He thought that the child labor law was continually violated In the city. Mayor Burke stated that there were several hundred children under 16 years of age In the city who did not attend school. Some had no clothes to wear nnd others worked In the mills. He stated that many mothers asked that their children, under the school age, be allowed to work so that tffey might help support the family and 'hemselves. He stated that conditions were sorrowful, Indeed, but that he had no Jurisdiction but to enforce the law. Alderman Cowles aUo read a letter from the secretary of the National Child Labor committee, In which was stated that the child labor law was being violated In Vermont. The secretary recently visited Burlington and reported that he saw 19 children leave the Chace mill, near Wlnooskl. all apparently under 16. iif also saw a lesser number leave the Queen City mill. SIDKWAL.KS AND COASTINO. There was also a communication from the mayor relating to the cleaning of sidewalks and the settings aside of certain streets for coasting. The communication was accepted and placed on file. An amend ment relating to tha eleanlnr of walks war, referred to a committee composed of Aldermen Drew, Coffey and aoaselln nnd Superintendent of Streets Black and i M.tyor Burke. There were many objec- Uotis tn the mayor's proposed amettd- The amendment gives the property ,.wrs until neon of the following day ' to clenr away enow which ceased falling tur.ng the night, nnrt provide in ti uic enow storm ceases during the day time. ;l. tenants or property owners shall be notified by the superintendent of streets four hours after the cessation of the stcrm and given four hoors more to clean up the wnlks. The mayor recommended that the street superintendent be em powered to clean the streets and charge the cost to tne propeny own. would take up almost an entire day and ' he object of the amendment was to put I the walks In rood condition as soon aa i possible. He was also In favor of allowing only until ten o'clock In the forenoon for I the' cleaning of the walks after a storm the nlsht before. The mnyor recommended mat ijoo mls street, between North Prospect and North Cnlon streets, and Maple street between South Cnlon and Pins streets, be set aside for coastlwr. The communication In reference to this wn accepted nnd placed on file a"rt resolution as adopted accord- i '"T' HACK.MBN Al'PRAK. Next came three hackmeti who had been summoned before the board to show why their licenses should not be j fvrjijfi Thls action as taken In ne- cordance with an amendment to the city ordinance relating to haekmen. The men were Aleck Seymour, Frank Dcinlnr and George M. Fnrrlngton, Jr. It appeared that Mr. Seymour hnd once p' nded prullty to soliciting pas sengers In the raltrond station. It r"n vlcted of n similar offense, was nlso I reprlninnded and dlschnrced. a. M. Farrlngton, Jr., who was ordered be fore the hoard upon recommendation of the police commissioners, received the same treatment as the others. If tho men are summoned before the board again to explain violations they will probably lone their licenses. OFFICER MII.ES'S 15I1.I. Policeman Christopher Miles pre sented a hill for I2M for services ns policeman from August 15 to Decem ber 1, This bill was referred tn a special committee 'omposed of Alder men O'Ncll, Gosselln and McCaffrey nnd City Attorney Vilas.
