1t sounds like story of carrying Goals
to Newcastle to read in the Montpelier
papers that the stone for the fine new
Kellogg-Hubbard library building at that
place is to be taken from the West Dunn
merston quarry, as Montpelier has large
granite industries of its own, and adjoins
Barre, "the Granite city" of Vermont.
About 10000 feet of granite will be used in
the building, and the work of quarrying it
has begun. About one-half will be rough
face, and the remainder cut stone.
