not propose to give any encouragement
to the demand for an extension of its
tracks at the South End is evidenced by
the communication received from the
president of the road and read at last
evenings session of the board of alder
men. At a previous meeting it was
voted to hold conference OF officials
of the street railway, the Barre Rail
road Co. and the city council and the
street committee was instructed to ar
range for the same. Carrying out this
vote, Alderman Mckenzie, chairman of
the street committee, communicated with
! John j. Flynn, president of the Barre
| & Montpelier Traction and Power Co.,
and H. w. Stanyan, general manager
Of the Barre Railroad Co. He received.
the following replies, which were read
at last evenings meeting Of the board
Of aldermen:

refused to allow crossing.
Very truly yours,
