was made to the Aldrich Library trus-

whole OF it at the command of the
trustees it was decided different de-
sign would be more suitable Penn
Narney, the architect, has been at work
on plans most Of the time since the lot
was decided TO the trustees, and they
were only submitted to the trustees
last Friday. The latter are very much
pleased with them. They show a build
inc that would be an ornament to any
city and on the library lot will add
much to the attraetiveness Of Barre.
The plans show the rooms and stack
rooms conveniently arranged, and spa
cious and suitable for growing city
like Barre.
