bonds to the amount of $50, 900 to buy
of the mill owners at East Barre the
right to take the water from Orange
brook past their mills to add to the
city supply. Over two years ago the
city started to get this water by con-
domination proceedings under the city
charter but was stopped by an injunc-

held void that part of the charter I'M

ing the city in the lurch, after over
$50, 600 had been expended laying pipe

ago Mayor Phelps had a conference
with the East Barre mill men and
found they were ready to settle but

ther conference resulted in the agree
lnent TO take $50, 600 and the meeting
is called to see if the voters will au-
thorize the payment of that sum.
