Pa YING BEG UN IN BARRE

Barre, Aug. 25.-The first paving
block was laid on Main street opposite
the National Bank at 10: 40 Monday
morning. Contractor Langfield called
on Mayor Jackson to lay the first and
the mayor kindly acted In laying
it he placed several coins under the
stooe, representing the different
nationalities that make up the popu-
lation in Barre. When the block
had been put in position the mayor
briefly remarked: This stone marks
a milestone in the history of Barre.
For years we have been putting our
money underground, into sewers and
water works, but today marks the
beginning of the building of perman-
ent roadways in Barre, Fifteen years
ago we Lad eighteen miles of roads,
now forty-five miles. AT that time
there was no sewerage system, now
we have twenty miles of sewers; then
we had no public water works, now
thirtythree miles of pipe that furnish
as good supply as can be found.
In these enterprises we have buried a
half million and as the boys say it
is out of sight, but the results are
here. Good water, good sanitation,
good health and the best of good hope
for the future Good neighbors have
come to our assistance in other ways,
one has put in gas, another electric
lights, another telephones and street
cars, so that for our age as city we
have many convenienoes and some
