Washington marble is just now being
discussed in Barre as the proper building
| material to be used in the new opera house,

coming summer. Its well tested merits as
| fire. proof stone place IL supreme over all
other like materials for building purposes,
as it can be heated red hot and Immediately
drenched in cold water with no preceptible
effect. 1t will make a handsome building
too. Rock faced it presents the finest ap-
pearance of any stone extant. 1t has a
more compact texture, greater specific grav-
thy, and is capable of being cut to finer edge
than any granite on the market. Pieces
| cut from this marble seventy. five years ago
are still lively and untarnished. No rock
so stoutly resists decomposition. and it's
silicious character pre-eminently fits it for
all structural purposes. The city Of Barre
cannot go amiss in selecting this stone for
