Land Damage Notices on

Signed.
Executive Session to Consider
What Steps City Would
take Against Officers
Implicated in the
Smith Case.

The city council met in special ses-
sion last night with all members pres
ent The first business was a discus
sion, various topics being used.
City Engineer Currier appeared about
7.3O with two kickers. These were
Messrs. Hankins and Clark who live on
40 foot cross street off Pleasant street.
They wanted city water and sewer.
After discussion Mr.. Currier was told
to 60 ahead and lay the water pipes,
the men having to dig the ditch.
Mr.. Alexander Smith, representing
the Burns Club, invited the Mayor and
council to attend the unveiling exercises
on the 21st. They voted to accept.
Mr.. Smith wanted to know if the Burns
Club could have the use of the band
stand for the speaker that day, and the
council voted yes.
The next business was the signing Of
the 33 land damage notices connected
with the using of the Orange Brook.
The Mayor suggested that the council
had better visit the site of the extension
and see for themselves what damages
should be allowed, and they will prob
ably 90 Saturday.
Mr.. Currier wanted to know if he
could set his ditchers at work Monday,
and the general opinion was that he
could. Mr.. Patterson suggested that II
would be a good idea to meet the land
owners at East Barre instead of here.
Miyht have to meet the millownrr>
separately.
Mr.. Mackayha had complaints about
the condition of the city dump. The
mayor said that DR.. Jackson had pro-
posed a good plan to follow up the val
ley, which was to get another dump
somewhere and use the Gunner Brook
valley for city park, having the school
children set out trees all about. King
ston suggested that it would be a good
place to locate those hitching posts.
Mr.. Thurston had had chance to
buy an II t5unt of liquor from Washing
ton for @66 as they were about to do
away with their liquor agency. No ac-
ton.
Mayor Gordon said there was one
matter of great public interest that he
would like to bring up before the coun-
Gil in executive session. He then re-
qnested the press to withdraw.
The subject considered was: "What
shall the city do about the prosecution
of the city officials mixed up in the
Smith case?" After considerable dis
cussion it was decided that nothing
could be done till the state had made out
case before the grand jury. Voted to
adjourn.

Where is Gordon -?

The Montpelier journal last night
printed rather sensational report thai
M. M. Gordon clerk in the office of the
States Attorney was missing not having
occupied his room the night before and
not having been seen the day before.
The Journal said also that it was cur
rently reported that warrant for the
arrest of Mr.. Gordnn was in the Off.
GERS hands. We would say that two
reputable citizens of Barre told us today
that they saw M. M. Gordon yesterday.
We were informed by one party hold
ing an official position that Mr.. Gordon
had probably left the city for a few days
to secure bail in case he should be ar
rested and that he would be here if wan
ted.
Another party OCCUPYING an official
position said Mr.. Gordon had probably
left the city, and he said he could not
say whether he would come back again
or not We heard an officer say that if
he had warrant for M. NJ. Gordon's ar
rest he felt confident that he could
find him inside of an hour.
A report heard on the street says that
M. M. Gordon has gone for good. We
give all the stories and will leave the
guessing to our readers.

stuff had been analyzed.
Several circumstances connected with
the raid set the Italian to thinking, and
he has now reached the conclusion that
the raiders were not officers at all, at
all and while he is jubilant to think
that he escaped so easily. still, he would
like to recover the faucet to the ale bar
