MAY RAISE PRICE
OF MILK In BARRE
When Requirements to Secure Licenses
Are Followed 0ut--That Is the
Sentiment Of the Pro-
ducers.

A meeting Of Barre milk producers
was held at the hall in South Barre yes
terday afternoon to receive the report
FROM the state board of health regarding
the recent order to secure the licensing
Of milk dealers. The letter which the
producers received from the state board
was to the effect that the law requiring
the licenses, based on satisfactory per.
centage as ascertained by competent
veterinary, would have to be complied
with and that the tuberculin test would
be included in the examination, although
the state board did not wish to push
the dealers and producers unnecessarily
fast.
The letter caused considerable discus
sion among the fifty men present. No
definite action was taken, but il is posi-
BILE that the price Of milk will be raised
as the result Of the added requirements
which are imposed upon the producers.
The producers are now getting four cents
quart during the winter and 3iR and
S24 during the summer months, while
the dealers get six cents from the con-
sumers. 1t was claimed at the meeting
that the new requirements would neees-
state an added expense and labor and
that the raise would be justified. They
pointed to the fact that in Burlington
and Rutland where the local ordinances
required the examination before licenses
were granted, the price Of milk had been
increased to the extent that milk was
retailing in Burlington for eight cents
a quart.
By q rising vote, the Barre producers
showed that they were not averse to
the examination, but at the same time
they thought there ought to be some
to them That is the way
they feel, and the matter of investigat-
ing the matter further and reporting at
a subsequent meeting was left with a
committee.
1t ia expected that the city health
officer, DR.. NJ D. Lamb, accompanied by
o competent veterinary, will, about the
first of April, make an examination Of
the stables and the methods Of handling
the milk and that he win rate the per-
centages on basis of 500 points, so
that it shall he necessary for producer
to attain 400 before his milk can be
certified to and the license to sell milk
granted to the retailer who takes that
supply. IT is probable that the rating
will include the tuberculin test, the pro-
ducer who has had the test applied with
results getting certain
number of points for that

But There Isn't Much to Sat-
lSfy the Judgment
PATTON VS.. STERLING co.
Jury in Washington County Court Rem
dered Verdict for Patton to Recover
s7.ss7so from the Quarry
Concern

A verdict for the plaintiff TO recover
81 $500 and costs was returned to-day
in Washington county court in the case
of Patton VS.. the Sterling Granite com.
pany of Barre, the suit having been
brought TO recover the purchase price Of
piece of land, lying between Webster
vile and East Barre, which the defendant
company proposed to develop The case
has been on trial for several days, and
it was given to the jury last evening
at half past four o'clock. An agreement
was reached in four hours, but as the
court was not in session the presentation
of the verdict was postponed until the
opening this morning.
The trial OF the case is an interesting
chapter In financial undertaking engi-
neered by @. Dudley Sterling, young
man who has since filed q petition in
bankruptcy because Of his inability to
meet his creditors. A stock company
was formed, with the anticipating of
floating $4,000 bonds, and the land Of
Mr.. Patton, an elderly man, was pur-
chased, with the idea Of its being opened
up for quarry purposes. The purchase
price Of the land was $1,000, note.
being given Mr.. Patton, and, in addition,
he was to receive $1,000 of the stock of
the new company. So far the project
went well, but the attempt to float the
bonds of the concern failed, although
young Mr.. Sterling made vigorous effort
through the advertising columns of the
Boston newspapers; and the scheme coli
lapsed.
Meanwhile the purchased land, the
price of which was $1,000, was sold to
j. J. Goodwin and others for 81 600 Mr..
Patton then trusteed this money, and it
is all the property which is visible to
meet the verdict which was to-day rem
dered by the jury. Mr.. Patton had sued
c. Dudley Sterling and the Sterling Gran
ite company jointly for the recovery on
the 81 900 note, but the action against
Mr.. Sterling was non-suited, and the
Judgment remains against the company
which he had organized. A portion of
the 81 900 received in the forced sale OF
the land at WebstervilIe Is said to be
tied up, so that there is only about 500
to meet the judgment, which is more
than ten times that amount.
Spicer VS.. Rand Case Started.
The $500 suit brought by David
Spcer against Tax Collector VI A. Rand
Of Hardwick on the ground Of false im-
prisonment in the collection Of a SO tax,
was started this morning, and it prom
ises to bring out some interesting legal
points. The jury was chosen, and the
Eaking of testimony was started this
forenoon, the plaintiff being the first
to go on the stand. Spicer testified as
10 the fact of his Imprisonment in the
county jail at Montpelier, and the de-
tense introduced Ira Shattuck Of Hard
wick to prove that the town meeting
1T which the tax was voted and the Off
.ials were elected was legal and regular.
Then Attorney Dutton for the defend
mt moved that verdict be rendered
Tor his client on the ground that ths
plaintiff had not shown cause. This mos
ion was denied by Judge Stanton and
he taking of testimony was resumed
his afternoon.
