4 FINELY BUILT STRUCTURE.
Blanchard Block Completed Just Yeal
After old One Was Burned.

The elegant new brick building erect
ed By A. G. Blanchard Just north Of the
City Hail. on the site Of the old Blan-
chard block which was burned the morn
ing 81 Feb. 18th, 1904, il now practi-
cally completed, the Offices on the sec
ond floor having been ready for occu-
pancy for nearly d week. The whole
work Of building was in charge of n.
A. McIyer of this city, and the freseo-
ing was in charge cf MIR Graves Of
Woodsyille, N. H., while all the rest
Of the painting aud decorating was done
BY Peter Bombard and his men, a
rough estimate Of the cost Of the build
ing as given by one who is in position
to have an idea of the cost, is $50, 600.
The elegant stores on the ground floor,
occupied by B. w Hooker and Frank
McWhorter, have already been spoken
Of In this paper. On The next floor there
are 10 well appointed offices, all finished
IN the best Of birch finish, as is the
whole upper part of the building. At
present four Of these offices are occupied,
while the rest are soon to be. The third
floor ii taken up by the rooms Of the
Yineitia club, and Knights of Pythias.
The former are on the south side of the
building, and the latter on the north.
Since both these suits were built to
order, so to speak, they are the delight
Of the club member. The Il. of r.
suite consists of various small rooms
in 'front.' and banquet hall in the
rear. The Vincitia rooms consist Of a
parlor, reception room, card room and
billiard room, all elegantly decorated.
Tho ,,p,ar flon- bpinnVS IN fhp MngOns
The floor Il divided into two parts, one
side being taken up by the rooms used
for social events, and the south side
being taken up by the lodge rooms.
The building divided in the middle by
two fireproof walls from basement to
roof.
Much credit is due To Mr.. Blanchard
for constructing such an elegant build
ing, and also to Mr.. Mciver for tho way
in which he has done the work.

In making an estimate of the income
and expenditures for the coming year it
is impossible to forecast the same with
any degree Of accuracy, as we do not
know what the fixed policy Of the in
coming city council may be; but pre-
Stunning they are Of a similar mind TO
the present board as to what shall be
done towards improving our streets, the
maintenance of permanent fire de-
partment, and the continuation of the
paving on Main street, we believe the
following tables viii be of considerable
value or guidance as to the probable in
come and expenditures for 1905.
We have based our estimates on the
idea that the work Of paving Main street
viii be continued during the coming
year, whatever may be the outcome Of
the present litigation, as we believe the
paving Of Main street will be matter
of economy for the city in the long
run, even supposing they have to bear
the whole expense Of the same; and we
have made provisions in our estimates
for paving at least six hundred and
fifty feet, even il there is no income
derived from assessments.
We have also made provision in our
estimates for the necessary cost Of re-
pairing Main street sewer for distance
as long rs win be paved during the
year
Also to furnish the necessary funds
10 complete the Mathewson school build
ing and take up the note maturing on
il during The coming year.
Also the note maturing this year Isl
sued against the permanent street pay
ing assessments; and meet all the ex-
penditures Of the different department
accounts for which we have made a
very careful and we believe liberal
estimate; one that should maintain all
the departments in a state of efficiency
for the coming year.
In the fire department we have made
provision for the placing Of the same
on permanent basis by the employ
ment az five regular firemen, also the
purchase and payment OF one psir or
horses and the necessary equipment
for the same, and q reasonable allow
ance for the volunteer department, which
win still be necessary as an auxiliary
to the permanent staff, ample proYi,
sions under this estimate have been
made for the care and maintenance Of
the station, and with due care there is
no reason why the expeditures Of the
department should be well within the
estimate.
The limit Of taxes to be levied BY the
city council for the coming year is as
follows:
County tax required by law, cent
on each dollar of the grand list.

son is Increasing as the time draws
nigh for the annual meeting Of the In
tercity Athletic association. The meet
ing viii be held in Miles hall, this city
on the evening of February 28, as will
be noticed by the call At this time
directors for the ensuing year viii be
elected and other business win be dcne
The statement of the financial condi.
tion Of the Barre Montpelier team oi
last season win be made, and it was
said today by one who ought to know
that the statement viii be better than
any in the Northern League.
The same person declared that the
constitution OF the association has not
been lost.
The general opinion seems to be that
there viii be a team next season and
that it viii represent both Barre and
Montpelier. The stockholders of the
two cities own the equipment of the
grounds in common and they consider
that as the cities worked together fairly
amicablg last season they can do SC
this season and perhaps improve much
upon it. II is likely that the team will
be quartered in this city, inasmuch al
they remained in Montpelier all the
time last summer
Several Of the star players have ex-
pressed q desire to play with the same
team next summer, and it is likely that
some Of them viii be given the chance
Among the number is Jimmie Morgan
the third baseman and captain, Sheldon
the best pitcher in the league, is de.
manded BY the fans. Apperious, it il
said, also wants to come back and show
the people here that he can play ball
as he started out TO do last summer
Johnnie Dorman may also be reekened
on as a possibility, while undoubtedly
Nash would be wanted by the manage
ment. POLY Poland Is probably out
Of the question, as he has signed with
another team in larger league.

Mr.. Sadlier thought it would not be
best TO put up ward nominees at this

Of the poor who could account for every
