When the original proprietors failed to pay their taxes, their holdings were disposed of at an auction or vendue. These vendues were conducted strictly accord- ing to law as the following record shows:
"Morristown 10 April 1804-The vendue being opened pursuant to the advertisement proceeded to sale. "DENNISON COOKE, Constable.
"Morristown 10 April vendue adjourned at one o'clock for one hour.
"DENNISON COOKE, Constable.
"Vendue being opened at two o'clock proceeded to sale.
"DENNISON COOKE, Constable.
"Half an hour before sunset vendue adjourned to the second Monday of April at 10 A. M.
"D. COOKE, Constable."
These vendues were usually held at the tavern and no doubt proved profitable to the tavern keeper as well as to the purchaser of land.

HISTORY OF MORRISTOWN
Another custom which seems to have been quite com- mon judging from the petitions in the archives at Mont- pelier was that of asking for remuneration for the catch- ing of thieves, a crime which was a frequent one in spite of the supposed honesty of the early settlers. The peti- tion of David Little presented to the Legislature October 12, 1812, is typical of others from the town. Mr. Little was asking for reimbursement for time and money spent in pursuing two horse thieves who were caught. tried before Justice Dennison Cooke, and convicted. Little petitions, "that he is poor and unable to bear the whole cost and expense that he has been at in proving and detect- ing said thieves and as it was for the benefit of the govern- ment as well as for the benefit of your petitioner that said thieves should be pursued and detected and as the govern- ment by means of the exertions of your honor's petitioner has received and will receive more than a complete indem- nity for all costs that the State has sustained, your Honor's petitioner prays your honorable body to take his case into his wise consideration and to allow him the whole or a part of the sums he has so expended or from the same as you in your wisdom may judge right."
A similar petition from Asa Cole and others proves that Mr. Little was not unique in thus soliciting pay from the state.
CARE OF THE POOR
There is Biblical authority for the statement that society will always have some needy and unfortunate ones to care for, but the method by which relief is given changes from time to time. The earliest method used in this town is revealed in the record of the town meeting of 1814 when it was voted. "The support of Avis Whitney for one year be set up at auction to the lowest bidder and the same was struck off to William Brockway at .76 per week."
Five years later it was voted that $30 be at the dis- posal of the overseer of the poor. These items lead one to conclude or at least to hope that the early residents were for the most part self-supporting. For several years this custom of hiring the unfortunates boarded pre- vailed. but in time some dissatisfaction arose, and in 1859 this town. Johnson, and Stowe formed an association and purchased a farm on the LaPorte Road to be used jointly

by the three towns, the expense being shared according to the grand list of each. This farm was pleasantly located with ample accommodations for the inmates and was managed by superintendents of good judgment and character so the plan was generally satisfactory. This house was destroyed by fire and the towns were faced by new conditions. A committee was appointed to see what should be done, with A. B. Smith, E. E. Brigham and P. K. Gleed representing Morristown. It was decided to dis- band the association, sell the property, and divide the pro- ceeds together with the insurance among the three towns, which was done in 1897.
The farm on the LaPorte Road now occupied by H. E. Kirby was run as a poor farm for a time, but this was not satisfactory, and it became the practice to aid families by grants and to hire the board of individuals in private homes.
With the depression of 1929-1933, the question of poor relief became a vital one everywhere, and Morristown shared in the burdens which weighed upon most com- munities. The closing of practically all manufacturing plants threw a large number out of employment, many of whom were forced to call for help. The expenditures in this department rose more than 400 percent in the ten years from 1922 to 1932 and public sentiment was strong for a change in the method of dealing with the question.
At the annual town meeting in 1933 it was voted that the selectmen appoint a committee of five to investigate in regard to the purchase of a poor farm. After examin- ing various sites, the committee recommended the pur- chase of the Milton Boardman farm on the Randolph Road for a town poor farm. At a largely attended special town meeting it was voted to carry out this recommendation. Arrangements were made to build cottages on the place to accommodate families with children and in the summer following the town returned to the system in vogue years ago.

POPULATION
Many of the rural towns of Vermont have shown a decrease in population, but Morristown, except for the period between 1840 and 1850, has shown a small but steady increase. Its population by decades is as follows :
1791.
10
1800
144
1810.
550
1820.
726

2,813

The grand list is a reflection of the general economic condition of a place and through a period of years it has been as follows:
1849
$ 3,628.21
1860
$ 4,710.10
1875
$ 6,396.59
1890
$ 9,611.40
1905
$11,259.24
1920
$13,956.61
1935
$16,031.50
A study of the listers' figures shows the gradual increase in the property valuation of the village and the changes that have come in farming.
In 1897 there were more than 1,000 sheep in town; in 1907 there were 382; in 1934 there were forty-nine. The earliest appraisal showed over 1,600 cows; in 1907 there were 2,098, and now there are 4,342. The lumber that grew so plentifully everywhere has been cut off, but little reforesting has been done. Agriculture now centers in the dairy cow, but the difficulties which the dairy industry has met during the past few years may bring about other changes in the future.
