late in the afternoon the flake, came down
As rapidly and as thickly as would seem pos
,ible. and when the storm ceased, at
q o'clock that evening. a foot or more of snow
had been added to the amount previously on
the ground. The big snow plow was kept
running over the main line of the electric
street railroad, and in this way it was pos
sible for the ears to make irregular trips.
The Winooski avenue and depot lines were
discontinued for the day. The street
department made an attempt to
keep the sidewalks in pasSable con-
dition and the snow plows We're kept
moving all day. with a fair measure of sue
cess. The noon trains from the north were
practically ON time. but the delay in the
time of arrival of the afternoon and evening
trains from the south showed that the storm
was more severe in that direction. The mail
from Boston over the Rutland division, due
at } o'clock. was two hours behind time; the
mail from Boston over the Central DIVISION
due at Cos, was delayed al hour and a half;
the flyer from Boston and New York, due at

the city attorney to the effect that "the

ing the necessity of such purchase of real
estate or of fine construction of
such building, together with an estimate
of the cost of such real estate, or of
the construction Of such building, and the
amount necessary to Ice raised to pay for the
same" As no estimate is given in the
statement filed by the school commissioners
of the cost of the buildings, considered sep
aIately, but only an estimate of the aggre-
gate cost thereof, the city attorney is OF the
opinion that the passage of the resolution
providing fGr the construction of the build
ings would be illegal The report was ac-
cepted and the resolution in question was
withdrawn by unanimous consent.
