ALLOWED TO MOVE HOUSE
After Several Refusals, Montpelier City
Council Grants Mr. Gitchell Permit.

Council Grants Mr.. Gitchell Permit.
The Montpelier council held its last
meeting for the fiscal year last night
and considerable business was cleared
up, the most important Of which was
the granting Of a permit to +. G. Glitch
ell, allowing him to move house
through State street. Mr. Gitehell and
the council had considered this subject
several times, the applicant for
the permit being turned down every
time before. Last night, however, the
permit was granted.
Mr.. Gitchell appeared in person and
stated that he was willing to bear all
the expense Of the undertaking, that
the Consolidated Lighting company was
willing to look after its wires and Man
ager J. II. Gowdey Of the telephone com
pany would have a man on hand to
look after matters pertaining to their
wires. He also said he wanted Superin-
tendent Roberts to have charge Of NOV
ing the house and would like to hire
some OF the city teams to do the work.
He thought the house could be moved
in one day, after il was in the street
and headed right, and Supt. Roberts
lowered that estimate to three or four
hours, so the former vote of the coun-
ell was reeonsdered and Mr.. Gitchell
may move his building He must file
bond Of $500 with the city treasurer,
to cover any damages the city may suffer
though granting the permit.
Two licenses were granted and NUM-
ber of bills were ordered paid The 9th
er business transacted was purely of a
routine nature. The board Of civil au-
thority is to hold meeting Saturday
night to take up tax matters and the
city council will probably have a short
session to close up the business Of the
year.
