| History of Brandon, New York (1727 words) |
 | Fortunately the ownershop of Brandon's timber lands has been so divided that no one large concern, anxious for a quick clean-up, has had control, so that the town's natural resources have been conserved, and, as operations are now conducted, the timber may be made to last for moderate cutting for a generation yet. |
| The population of Brandon fifty-eight years ago was eight hundred, and the gain since then has been less than one hundred, though this does not take into consideration the loss by the setting off to other towns of the southern townships. |
| The dismemberment of Brandon alluded to was fought strenuously by its supervisors for several years because the lands set off to be added to Harrietstown and to create Santa Clara, amounting to almost a quarter of a million acres, owned by nonresidents, paid something like two-thirds of the town's entire tax levy. |
