Rivers friends, he caught a rainbow
trout in the Dog river on Wednesday
evening that tipped the scales at three
and half pounds. The story further
runs that in the stomach OF the trout a
fish weighing half q pound was found
alive. According to the story Mr.. Rivers
names his s'liye one" black gold fish.
The live fish of the story is on exhibition
at Z. j. Blanchard's lunch cart.
Barre city refused 10 vote q special tax Of
eleven cents on the dollar of the grand list
TO make 5000 repairs to several OF the
school buildings OF the city. IL also re-
fused to authorize the city council 10
treat with the Aldrich library trustees re-
garding the sale OF portion Of the library
lot for post office building. The refusal
to vote a special tax for school purposes
did not spring apparently from desire to
scrimp the schools, but from the belief
that cuts 10 other departments might be
made and the city still not suffer. The
opinion also appeared to prevail that the
tax rate Of $3.50 already voted by the city
council was large enough.
The Barre Granite Manufacturers asso-
citation has decided to refer the grievance
over the complaint OF the cutters in the
Mscchi shed in Barre to arbitration. Be-
cause a member OF the firm OF z. Macehi
/ went to work on the surface cutter at
their plant the men in their shed laid
down their tools and the plant was not
! running in the afternoon. The claim OF
the cutters is that the manufacturer was
not a journeyman before he became a
member of the firm and therefore in
eligible TO operate the machine. The
matter involves a point that the manu-
| faeturers are 10th TO concede, and that Is
that members of firms cannot work IN
their own shops. While a general lock-
out may come, yet it is not expected.
