1t is rather amusing to note the tenaci-
ty with which Barre aud Montpelier cling
to the delusiOn that they are going to cut
large blocks of granite for the PennsylYa-
mia capitol building The fact is that
work is none to brisk in these granite
centers, while Hardwick Is flooded with
orders. Part OF this overflow may be sub

les Hardwick Gazette.
The Hardwick Gazette seems to be I'M
necessarily disturbed at the various rum
ors that some portion of the Harrisburg
job may be cut in Montpelier or Barre.
The Gazette shouldn't be so touchy. We
are all pleased that Hardwick has the job
and both Barre and Montpelier did what
they could to help her secure it, Next to
having it themselves the two cities did
what they could to help Hardwick get the
order. Barre quarry owners at the request
Of the Hardwick Granite company, took
the Pennsylvania committee over their
quarries to assure them there was plenty
Of granite to be had for the contract and
owners Of Montpelier sheds showed them
over their plants to assure them there was
plenty Of shed room in the vicinity of
Hardwick to cut the job on time, before
the order was booked. This was done be-
cause the local dealers wanted to see the
job come to Vermont, and in Hardwick's
success we all benefit indirectly, and the
Times hopes Hardwick will erect build.
