Talk is rife again about building a new
and model hotel this city " hich shall be
ERECTED after modern plans and ideas The
city has long had neeh 'r such a building.
The city IL growing rapldl, AMI IL is rec
Ogniz Il fact that the lack OF first class
hotel means he loss of thousauds of dollars

IN That the present city council is rather
Inservative in snch matters and there IL
An expressed d-sir- that there NAV IA such

mAfters.
This city has made a record In the build.
ing business thu. year that il a record break
and one which i'll pro ably not he ap-
preached for several years TO come. There
has hern expended m ~ date, on the new
city building about $50 600. The cost OF
the blorks built tbi4 season will amount in
the aggregate TO S1l7.C there has been
exnend in hnilding r-Sldenrial dwellings
S57 600; 'ckie & Hnss"v's new stone
she'd Cost $40 90; and $4,000 was expend-
ed in building the new Brooks street school
house. Fully 100000 has h-en invested
in building tenem- ~ and small residtn ces.
In permanent public improvements there
has been paid out 81 ono on sewers; on
streets and sidewalks $4,000, and the city
has paid out for its public water sntp ply, ex-
elusive OF purchase price. S15 900 This
makes q grand total of 1856 100 Or this
mount $685. 900 went into new buildings.
H. IL more than probable that with 'ha
amount OF money expended in repaiiiD
and Improving var Gus buildings and that
which will b. yet expended for cons 'ruct-
ing dwelling and business houses that Barre
will have, during the present year, paid
out nearly halt million OF dollars in build
ings and In pruv-mep's This il record
If which The city should feel proud.
