VERMONT SPRUCE THE BEST.
Senator Griffith Gets Big Order for Lum'
Der for Piano Sounding Boards.

Hon. S. /. Griffith of Dandy was in the
city last evening, Mr.. Griffith has recent
~ closed the contract to furnish one mil
lion feet of spruce lumber to w. j..
Breckwoldt of Dolgeville n. y, manu-
tacturer of sounding boards for pianos,
who supplies the leading piano makers Of
several countries. Mr.. Griffith delivered
one half million feet of spruce to this
same manufacturer last year and that 1t
gave satisfaction is evidenced from this
years order,
1t may be of interest to many to know
that all ot the sounding hoards OF pianos
are made OF quarter sawed spruce and
that the lumber furnished by MIR Griftth
last year was found to be superior for the
purpose to that sent from not only Maine
and New Hampshire but from all other
places as well. This is true to such an
extent that the superiority of Vermont
spruce is now recognized by piano manu-
facturers across the water, from whom
MIR Breckwoldt has large orders to I'LL out
of the shipment of spruce from Mr.. Grif-

Another unexpected event was an offer
by A. q. Whittemore of $1,000 for the citN
market lot. No action was taken relat-
ing to the OFFER.
The location of the library building caus-
ed considerable discussion but upon sew
eral votes relating to the matter an aye
and nay vote developed the fact that SIX

ket ground, while three were not.

gard to the matter
All the Aldermen were present Monday
NIGHT except Alderman Courtney. 1t was
the first time Alderman Wood has been
in his chair for several months.
AT SIS o'clock the board for the abatc-
ment of taxes was called to order by May
or Hawley, who read the report of the al
dermanic committee appointed to invcsti-
gate the petitions for abatement. This
report recommended that taxes agains

Sails. grand list of 1896, 1921 %; IL. r..
amount is $2OIS IS. This report was adopt
ed.
The board of aldermcn was then called
to order by President Beach who read the
majority and minority reports of the com
lnttee on schools and library, relative to
The location of the new library building.
The maiority report was as follows:
The committee would respectfully re-
port that they would recommend that the
