Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1889-04-15

Guernsey of Montpelier has been appoint
ed superintendent of the government
building being erected in that town. Mr..
Guernsey knows a great deal more about
architecture and building than Hiram At
kins. who has heretofore received the pay
of superintendent. Hiram, however,
knows more than George about offensive
partisanship, and democratic machine pol
itics. Mr.. Guernsey's knowledge is more
usefnI in the line of substantial and tasty
architecture.
How would it do to start early in sleek
ing up the village and putting things III
such shape as to be healthful and respect
able. That park and band stand need
to be finished, the rubbish and Nth need
to be removed. There ought to be an
effort made to cover up some OF the cray
that has been drawn into the streets by
the authorities as soon as possible Ihat
esHoosac Tunnel" gravel proves to be OIL
very salvey kind. 1t will be good stun TO
build on, perhaps. The citizens, in the mean
time, are preparing to put their premises
in a neat and clearly state, and little ag-
itation and effort will put the village IN
such condition as to make nobody asham-
ed of it. Let's go at it.
