CUT DOWN BILLS
OF CITY LIGHTING
After the Company Had. Done That, the
Aldermen Authorized the Pay
ment-Short Session of
Board Held.

The regular meeting OF the board Of
aldermen was very brief last evening as
there was but little business transacted.
A communication was received from the
manager Of the Vermont Telephone com
pany relative to the city's request of
them to change the location Of tele-
phone pole on Granite street next to
the Beck 4 Beck property The man
ager stated that in his first letter be
did not raise the question as to the clty's
right TO order the pole moved but he
only wanted more specific reasons as a
matter Of record why the pole should
be moved He said that this pole sup
ported a cable terminal Of thirty wires
and it would cost S25 to make the
change, however, he had ordered the
local foreman TO move the pole at his
earliest convenience
A building permit was requested by
Thomas Garrity TO erect a smoke house
OF Quarry street and the matter was
referred to the fire committee to inves-
tigate and report.
The lighting bills for the months or
October and November from the Con-
solidated Lighting company amounting
to Sl,l005l were ordered paid. These
bills were held mp by the lighting COM
mittee while they took an inventory of
the number OF lights the city was burn
ing When the inventory was complet-
ed it was found that the city was be-
ing charged for 81 lights more than were
being used, and the company corrected
these two bills to conform with the new
inventory.
The city clerk stated that there was
an unexpended balance OF S4,ls9.92 of
the money appropriated for the schools
which includes this years tax and al
mexpended balance from the bonds is
sued for the erection of the Lincoln
school building. The clerk said that the
school needed now S2.lSe.92 OF that mon
ey and he suggested that the remain
ing $1,000 be set aside as a fund to help
meet the payment OF the bonds when
they become due instead of being paid
to the school fund. The board thought
the suggestion good one and COM
piled with it.
James A. Tucker applied for a permit
to hang two barber signs on Pearl street
and the request was referred to the
street committee to investigate and re-
port. This finished all the business and
on motion of Alderman Hoyt the board
went into executive session.
