Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1900-11-27

II there is any n branch of the
city government that needs to be
looked after more than another it is
that part of the street department
which has to do with the use of the
snow pillow on the sidewalks. 1t is
absolute cruelty to compel children
to wade through a foot of snow on
their way to school in the morning
when a slightly additional expense Of
money and energy could easily have
everyone of the streets, especially the
principal ones, cleared Of snow by half
past eight O'Clock. Wet feet have
been the cause of more sickness than
any other ordinary circumstance
and often it has resulted in serious
consequences. The snow pillow ques-
tion is therefore an important one in
which every parent in the city has an
interest and it is hoped that that in
terest will be respected by the city
government officials.
