BY The Barre Board Of
Alderman
TO FINISH PRESENT YEAR
That Amount Needed to Garry City Gov
ernment Through the Month Of March
Odds and Ends Were Cleared
Up Last Night.

The last regular meeting OF the pres
ent board Of aldermen was held last
night with all the members present. 1t
was a very quiet and peaceful time
Throughout, and few Of the odds and
ends OF the years work were cleared
up.
Aldermen Burke and Thurston report
ed concerning tile once-reiected bill Of
7. A. Walker, architect, that inasrnuch
as It had already been turned down by
the finance committee aud the council
they did not wish to assume the re-
sponsibility OF recommending that the
bill be paid. The report was accepted
and adopted, and the Walker bill seems
to have ben finally inferred among the
eity's dead, unless the individual mem
bers tnke it into their heads to pay It
out Of their own pockets. The bill IS for
S25 for plans at the city poor farm.
The contention of the opponents Of the
bill is that it was not authorized.
The report Of the police department
for the month OF January shows is
arrests, Of which eight were for intoxi-
cation, one sliding on streets, one breach
of the peace, one keeping house Of i'll
and two for selling liquor. The officers
making the arrests were as follows:
Hamel 8, Carle /, Nichols /, Faulkner
Q, Richardson !, Slayton ], Denno !,
Brown 4.
Health Officer Joe w. jackson report
ed 21 births during January, no con
tgaious diseases, Is deaths and Is burial
permits
nj. w. Kendall, regular fireman, re-
signed, and the resignation was accepted.
The vacancy win probably be filed at
the next meeting. Two city warrants,
one TO pay for the assessment rebate of
Mary Krellinger, and the other to Alder.
man Cutler for team hire, were ordered
paid.
Mayor Barclay then presented the fol
lowing appointments, for grand jurors,
A. r. Dodge and Peter Alexander; petit
jurors, George r Becklev, Joseph Mudg.
ett, W. NJ Burnhain, A. &. SIayton. wis
liam Cole, John d. Smith, ID. B. NEinard.
Angelo Seannpini, John S. Mcdonald, anl
Alexander Cordiner, and the appoint
ments were confirmed unanimously.
A resolution disallowing water rebates
for less than two months was adopted,
as was another resolution authorizing
temporary loan Of $4,000 to carry the
city government through the year. The
final action OF the aldermen was the
ordering Of the chairman Of the water
committee and the city attorney TO look
up the deeds of the city in the town
of Orange
The last regular meeting Of the city
council is scheduled for next Monday
evening, the night before spring cleo
tion.

MONTPELIER MERCHANTS
CUT OUT FAIRS, ETC.
Will Not Hereafter Donate Articles OF
Money, or Advertise in Circulars
and Programmes.

Practically every merchant in Mont
pelier has signed paper agreeing not
TO donate a cash contribution or any ar
tiole 70 be used in fairs, and not to
advertise in any circular or programme
to be used in connection with any So
cicty or frsteFnal event. They consider
that the privileges of this nature have
been abused in the past, and inasmuch
as the agreement is signed by nearly
every merchant in town, it is thought
TINT it will be lived up TO. The revolt
was led after the example made by the
Barre merchants u few years ago. The
action Of the Barre merchants is referred
TO by the subscribers to the paper.
There is no association Of merchants
in Montpelier, but the dealers say that
they have been driven to this agreement
by conditions.

AN UNpLEAsANr pRospEcT.
Shall Barre BE the Liquor Saloon 3
the County?
lCoInmunicated.) !

We hear that Barre Town Is thorough
ly sick Of license The experience of tile
past year has been such "a to make it
strongly probable that the Town will
vote mo" next Tuesday.
On the other hand, we hear from Mont
pelier that a year Of no-license has
pleased its advocates and won new
friends. The city is practically certain
to vote mo- this year
Suppose now That Barre votes for
hcensel What Is the prospect? 1t
is hardly necessary to describe it, The
thirsty ones from the Town, the thirsty
ones from Montpelier win make their
way to Barre, not TO trade in our stores.
but to drink in our saloons. We shall
have their drnnks on our streets and
on the late cars aud trains Our police
win be busy. Additional police will be
necessary. Nor IS this prospect faneiful.
III Is real danger The probability that
both Barre Town and Montpelier will
vote "no" is very strong. The only safe
thing for Barre in these circumstances
is ID vote mo-" too.
One Of the most disagreeable features
Of license is this becoming the bar
Of the surrounding towns. 1t makes
the loyal citizen blush for his city. 1t
shows up license at its worst. And the
next year the condemnation Of license
is pronounced by strong mo" vote.
But we know from what Montpelier was
4 year ago. and from what South Barre
has been the past year how thoroughly
disgusting it IS to be the liquor saloon
Of the county We do not need this
unpleasant experience ourselves to teach
MS. And we may easily avoid it by
voting mo"
Let lis continue the enyiable Teputa-
tion we have been making the past two
years. Let Barre be known, not rs a
city that provides intoxicants for places
that viii not endure the nuisance them
selves. but as city that sets an exam
pie Of civic intelligence and civic con-
science year By year. Nothing viii adj
vance our business interests, attract res
idents, promote our substantial develop
ment more than this.
