rHAT FIRE STATION AcAIN.
Mr.. Miglierini Defends His Work in It's
Construction.

Editor Barre Daily Times Dear Sir:
Just once more | wish to ask you to
put up with little more stale talk
about that tower of the fire station.
Replying to Haley's statement about
his derrick being now in place on the
tower for inspection Of the tax payers,
would like to say that the mast Of
the thing was against the wall and
down two feet from the top when Haley
attempted to lift the bell, and when
he saw that he was bulging out the
wall, as did every one else that was
watching him when he did it will say,
then he rugged over the foot of the der
rick so that it could not pry out the
walls. 1t would not take a granite man
ufacturer or quarry owner to tell that
it was not the proper way to put the
rig, and the councilmen all acknowledge
that it was so, without any attempt
at "hoodwinking," as Haley implies.
! will pay the expenses of any dis
interested expert that the City Council
may select, if he finds any defects in
the walls Of that tower.
| have had charge Of good many
larger Jobs than this, doing work for
the Government at Fort Ethan Allen,
etc, and | have never before and would
not in this case if Haley had been man
enough TO shoulder the blame like a
man, for damages that he did, also ]
can say that | am gentleman enough
to call no names but give him his given
name without any SANDER.

In Famous Paving Assess
ment Case.
DECISION BY SUPREME CT.
City's Contention Is Sustained and Case
Ordered Sent Back to Chancery
Court With Mandate to
Dismiss.

The city OF Barre won point in its
paving assessment case when supreme
court today brought in decision aus
tanning City Attorney Gordon's demur-
rer to the bill brought by A. G. Blanch-
ard and Others, and ordering the case
remanded and with a mandate for the
court of chancery to dismiss the BILL
The court holds that the methods BY
which the city proceeded to make the
assessment was not reguas and there
fore that the levy was not valid. II
was found that the city council delegat
ed to the street commissioners that
which the commissioners had no right
to do. The eonstitutionaIity Of the as
.sessment was not touched upon at all,
simply the method of procedure.
In the ordering of the cause remanded
tors, Al. G. Blanchard and other, lost
their case, and also are ordered to pay
the costs of the defendant.
The city of Barre assessed abuttors
on Main street, where the granite block
pavement was laid two years ago, and
sought to collect payment for the same.
Part Of the abuttors paid willingly,
Others paid their portion under protest
and some refused to pay. To make
test the case OF Blanchard and others
was brought. 1t was argued before the
court of chancery on the question of
the unconstitutonality OF the city char
ter in giving the city the right to assess
the abuttors for one half the cost Of the
betterment: also on the method OF pro-
eedure Of the city council. Both sides
agreed on certain questions of fact and
the matter went up from the court of
chancery to supreme court.
The case has been hanging fire for
some time, and the further paving OF
the streets has been held up pending
decision.
This will not deter the city from
continuing the paving Of Main street and
the assessing Of one-half Of the cost
on the abufters, under regular method
of procedure
