The Barre Times gives the follow
ing figures Of interest concerning the
rapid growth Of the Granite city.
According to the figures of the city
assessors the total valuation OF the
city of Barre for purposes Of taxation
is g, 800, 1902, making the grand list
S35, 603.02. The number of taxable
polls in the city is 1852 while there
are 81 who are exempt. making the
total number of polls 2,403. The to-
tai amount of personal property taxed
is 1894, s24.
Barre became a city in 1895, four

was S24, 1868, showing a total valua-
tion OF s2,4l9,65s. The valuation of
property subject to taxation has there
fore increased in four years 81, l40,-
GA, or at the rate of S2s5, 1856, 1876

The general manager has given
notice to all concerned that it is the
company's intention to discontinue at
once the acceptance Of orders OF its
employees assigning their earned
wages. He says that the practice Of
assigning wages due is Objectionable
and il is desired that employees shall
conduct their personal business with
out annoyance TO the company. Here
after, the assignment of wages by an
employee, or the cole, ton of a debt
through trustee writ, will be consider
ed sufficient cause for dismissal.

Reorganlzatlon of the v. N. G.

A state official has this to say re
garding the state militia:
As yet nothing has been done about
recognizing the militia Of the state OF
Vermont, for the reason that the SUI
preme court is TO give its decision up
on the present standing of the militia,
or upon the act passed at special ses-
sion of 1898.
Most of the militia regiments of
other states were given furloughs when
the men enlisted as Uuited States vol
unteers. Accordingly when the men
were mustered out at the close Of the
war the militia organizations were not
disturbed. BY an oversight the Ver-
mont militiamen were not given fur
loughs when they went to Georgia
and their status might properly come
before the state supreme court.
As soon as the supreme court adj
vises Gov. Smith, he will act.
