The proposal Of the Barre and Mont
pelier Traction and Power company to
charge the city OF Montpelier full fare
for carrying school children was dis
oussed at the last meeting Of the Mont
pelier City Council. Heretofore the
road has hsuel special tickets to the
city at the special price Of two and one
half cents each. Last year the road
received some S4OO from the city for
this service.
The council did not take kindly to
the plan of being charged full fare,
and when the members got down to
figures they found that at the five
cent rate the city win pay the road
some four dollars day during the
school year The council believed that
saving of at least dollar a day can
be made over the five cent fare, by
transporting the children by teams.
The committee on transportation was
Instructed TO make arrangements to
carry the children by teams. Between
30 and IS children who live at the
Pioneer and along the car line to the
Berlin line are affected by this change.

mony, the district attorney holding that
the will be temporarily out until eyi-
dence has been offered to prove Thaw':
insanity.

stand, Delmas had her produce a nots
