COST TO BARRE
For Granting License.

Here are few feMres taken from
the reports Of the superintendent Of the
poor for the city Of Barre:
Drawn on treasurer for the support oi
the poor:
From May, 1905, to May, 1907,
| year of no hcense ...... $4.0l5
From May, 1907 to May, 1908,
| year Of license ........,.. 6,400
Extra cost for poor with saloon. 2,4oo
The present year is not complete and
the evil effect Of the open saloon fingered
after it was closed; yet we can draw
comparisons between last year and this.
Drawn on treasurer for the support Of
the poor;
From Sept. 1907 to Feb. 1908, 9
months of license ............ S3,I00
From Sept. 1908 TO Feb. 1909, .
| months of no license ...... 2,100
Extra cost for months Of license 81 900
IL is not this extra cost, to Offset which
the open saloon offers nothing, that is
uppermost in our thought. It is the
greater amount of priyation and misery
which the open saloon causes, Of which
these figures bear eloquent and unrefut-
able testimony.
There are those who are willing to
make money at the expense of the mis-
cry Of others. These are in favor or
the open saloon. There is no question
that the majority Of the citizens are
in favor Of no license The saloon men
are in hopes that you will stay away
from the polls March 2 and allow them
to dictate the policy of the city Of Barre.

POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL
APPEARS TO BE SURE
BEACH TOWNS MAY JOIN IN
ERECTING BUILDING
II other Cities Do Not Stand Together
in Proposition, Santa Monica
Will Establish Its
Own

SANTA MONICA, March 9.-There is
q renewed interest in the possibility OF
the various elements getting together
and settling on union high school.
For a number of weeks the Venice
chamber of commerce and other COM
mercial organizations of Ocean Park
have been trying to effect a union with
the Machado and Del Rey districts,
and build a polytechnic high school.
In so far as the Machado district Is
concerned, the negotiations seem to be
Off but a meeting his. been called for
Friday night of this week, when the
representatives of the Venice chamber
of commerce will present plan to the
citizens of that city.
1t has been hoped there might be a
possibility of effecting a consolidation
of all the districts, including Sawtelle
and with this end in view the santa
Monica board of education at its meet
ing last evening issued an invitation to
the school trustees of Ocean Park to
meet with them Thursday night this
week and discuss the matter.
While 1t Is hard to prophesy just
what will be done along these lines, II
seems that the people of Ocean Park
are very much in earnest and wish
high school that will represent them as
we'll as other districts, and the pros
poets are that polytechnic high school,
VIII be the result, whether Il uillol IL
effected with this city or not.
The Machado people say they are
willing to come in and stand their
share if the proposed school is located
at Roseboro Heights, about three
quarters of a mile from the Ocean Park
city limits. They state that the Palms
and Ballona districts would join in the
movement in that event. and that suffi-
cient funds could be raised for the in
stitution to insure a first-class faculty
and equipment.
1t is also stated if their plan was
carried out that twenty acres of land
would be donated for the purpose, and
that the railroad company would make
a scent fare for all students. Their
idea contemplates the erection of a
100000 building.
In counter action of the plea of the
Ocean Park people that this site would
be too far removed from their city
the Machado people claim that in few
years, with the marvellous growth this
section is at present making. the CEN
ter OF population of the territory OF
and adjacent to the beach will be al
this point.

EXCLUSION ELECTION
! WILL BE QUIET EVENT
CONSOLIDATION COMMITTEE
AGAINST DIVISION
Act by Legislature Allowing Jointure
of Los Angeles with Harbor Towns
Precludes Separation at
San Pedro
Correspondent Home STE.
Circulation 1eB 5th st.

SAN PEDRO, March 9-The exclu-
sion election tomorrow promises to be
a very quiet affair and the probabilities
are that small vote will be cast.
The nti-consolidationists have been
issuing circulars asking that those OPP
posed to consolidation with Los Ange-
les vote against the division of the city,
and today the citizens consolidation
committee, which was instrumental in
calling the election, having circulated
the petition last October, issued its cir
cular requesting all friends of CONSOLE
dalton with Los Angeles to vote against
the proposition of exclusion tomorrow.
The motives back of the circulars are
widely divergent, the anti-consolida-
ton element wishing the election de-
feated in order to kill any chance of
uniting with Los Angeles the CONSOLE
dation element asking that the election
be defeated because, since the call was
made, fair consolidation act has been
passed by the state legislature and the
city can now join Los Angeles as a
whole and by means of but one cleo
ton.
1t has been a difficult matter to
switch the popular vote into the new
channel, and undoubtedly in spite of
the circulars issued and the care TAX
en- a large number of voters still will
vote to exclude from San Pedro that
portion of the city lying north of Fifth
street.
Two election precincts have been es-
tablished on the west side of the chan
mel, one at Mallgren's store for those
living north of the dividing line at
Fifth street, and the other at the city
hall for the rest of the city.
On the east side there are also two
polling places, one at the fire house at
Terminal, the other at Scholler's gro
Gerry at East San Pedro.
The vote on the east side of the chan
mel would have been very strong for
exclusion, for most of the voters there
are only glad of an opportunity to get
out of the clutches of the city of Long
Beach.
The consolidation committee viii put
in a busy day tomorrow in an effort to
get out the full vote.

to contend with. It's vigorous work
saved the adjoining residences from
destruction, and the fact that the fire
was in a thinly settled part of the

damage.
The loss on the property is estimated
