In his message the mayor announced the net bonded debt of the city $394,158, of which $105,000 was added last year $65,000 in water bonds and $20,000 each in school and street improvement bonds. The bonded debt was decreased by adding of $11,098 to the sinking fund during the year. The bonds sold last July commanded a pre mium of nearly 4i per thus re duciug the actual iuterest from 4 to 3jj per cent. a better rate than many of the larger cities of New England have been able to obtain and giving Builing-ton obligations a high standing in the financial market.

This year $20,000 street improvement bonds are to be issued.

One of Vermont's Most Popular FFrom Today's Free The new spring millinery shown at Mrs. Dodge's rooms yesterday was of the finest material and beet of New York style.

We saw many beautiful hats ranging in price from $5 to 835 and yesterday her rooms were as usual, crowded on pattern days. Mrs. Dodge has long been one of Vermont's most popular milliners, sending goeds to all parts of the State Her great, success is due entirely to her good taste, hard work and her disposition to pay strict attention to business. Each person's order always receives her r.ersoual care, she will show pattern nats to day and every day during the set- Fast Day Proclamation. The following is the Governor's Fasr day proclamation "The Clnisiian people of this State have for niore than century considered it a duty si ml a privil go annually to observe some day designated by the Chief Executive as a day of lasting, humiliation and prayer.

In continuance of this time-honored custom and believing that its observance will receive Divine favor, Urban A. Woodbury, Governor of do hereby designate Friday, April twelfth, as Fast )av. I recommend that upon that day the people of this State abstain from their secular pursuits and assemble in their usual places of worship, and with humble and penitent hearts confess their sins and pray Almighty God to bestow upon them abundant spiritual prosperity and invoke 11 is continued favor upon the labors of their bands.

Hundreds of Burling ton references. shown, but the railroad nronertv near ihe seemed to be the most available, nud it would have been decided to locate the mill there had the committee been convinced that a clear title to the land cuuld be give by the Central Vermont people. Another site is the Englesby property east of Howard Park.

The only objection to this is the height from the lake 24 feet which makes too great a lift of water. The gas company's property, commencing tiorth of the Queen City Cotton company's property, was favorably thought of, as water can be easily had there. Another good site is near the lumber district, but it was abandoned. The presence of these gentlemen here plainly shows that they believe in Burlington as a place proper for a mill of 50,000 to 60,000 spindles. Mr.

Hutchius said it was true that manufacturersrare going south, driven there by the restrictions put upon them by tbe legislature, which is driving industries from the state instead of fostering them. He did not believe that Massachusetts manufacturers would abandon their increase will be built elsewhere. Air. Diman said that the cotton could be laid down here cheaper than at Fall ver or New Bedford, and coal fully as cheap. A committee will further investigate into a proper location and report soon.

The party represents a capital of MOO. 000, and the residents of this city are to furnish $50,000 for the capital stock, which may be raised to $500,000. WEDNESDAY'S FIRE. The Paid Fire Ilepartment Outclassed at lljdraut Work. A Sre in Nelson Baon's tenement house on North Chan.plain street called out the fire department Wednesday morning The bouse was occupied by the families of T.

H. Corrigan and Mr. Burgess. The fire is supposed to have caught from a defective flue and the roof and upper story were considerably damaged. hen the alarm scunded trainer Sanborn and Chief Murray were on their way to the Barnes hose house and were within a few steps of the door.

They immediately made a hitch and with several o'her persons who did uot belong to the company jumped on the cart. Upon leaving the building tbe ladders being improp erly secured slid forward striking driver Leach on the head and shoulders and doubling him up in a very poor position in which to drive. The persons nn the hose wagon cried to him to "Go on," and when he reached the fire ha was unable to stop the horses so that the hose was laid two blocks beyond the fire. The Boxers turned the corner just as the Barnes company passed it. They made the hitch to the hydrant and were ready for water before any of the other companies arrived.

Chief Murray, however, saw that the fire was a good test for the chemical engine and would net allow a stream to be turned on. The chemical engine did excellent work in extinguishing the fire. In the meantime the paid department had laid a second line of hose to the corner of Peru and Cham-plain streets but tbe Stars, another volunteer company, had captured that hydrant. From this it will be seen that tbe paid department was out-classed at hydrant work by two of the companies who are ousted from the department by the new ordinance. The volunteer boys have every reason be proud of their work.

The home was insured for 8500 and the furniture of each famild for a like amount. The insurance will cover the loss. Beu Franklin at Home. After an absence from the state cf five years Ben Franklin, tbe head of the list of New England bted sires, re turned to Vermont Wednesday accompanied by his old owner, II. T.

Cutis Orwell. The veteran stallion is 22 years old, but looks ami acts as livelv a four-year-old and stood the long journey from his Tennessee homo remarkably well.

For the next two years his sire will stand at his old home in Orwell. Ben Franklin quickly knew Mr. Cutts, who shared the ear with him all the way from Tennesee, and insisted an equal division of the oranges, bananas, cakes or any other luooheon that a long journey by freight train obliged Mr. butts to have with bim.
