mat the city intends to be careful
about permitting fire hazards to develop
in Barre was evident at the meeting of
the city council last night when several
matters relating to building permits and
gasolene tank permits came up for con-
sideration, one of the former being re-
stricted and another laid on the table.
Building Inspector Field reported adj
versely on the application of j. b. San
guinetti to build an addition to Papin
Bros, stable on North Main street, be-
cause the location is in the FIRE district
and the specifications were for two
story structure of wood The council,
however, voted to grant a permit under
certain restrictions, including the stipu-
lation that it be covered with tin or
iron and that the chimney be built from
the ground. The various members re-
ported that they had inspected the loca-
tion, as had Chief Gladding of the fire
department, and they considered the
changes proposed would lessen the haz-
ard as the stove and pipes would be
taken out Of the present stable and be
placed in the Office annex.
The building inspector reported favor
ably on John Cleary's application to
raise store building on North Main
street one foot and put in cement foun-
dation; and the permit was granted
An application from r. l.. Clark to
build an addition to the old hose house
on Prospect street, which had been pre-
viously referred to the committee of the
whole, was laid on the table after the
committee of the whole had reported
through Mayor AIutch that the permit
ought net to be granted until they get
more definite specifications from Mr..
Clark, iDasmuch as the location is within
the fire district and close to the railroad
tracks. The location is on made land,
where the river formerly flowed.
r. A. Drown is now occupying the
hose house as garage, but be is to
move to the new brick garage which
he is erecting on Jefferson street. He
therefore, applied last night for per-
nit to move his gasolene tank from that
location to Jefferson street. and permis-
sion was granted Arthur S. Martin was
at the same time given a permit to sink
gasolene tank at his new garage back
of the City hotel, the report of the
committee OF the whole having been
favorable.
Four new hydrants we're reported in
stalled, two of them on the made land
in the old riyerbed back of the AyerilI
and Boyce blocks on Main street. third
at the corner Of Smith and Ladd streets
and the fourth on Foss street, halfway
TO Berlin street; and the action was
approved.
Likewise was approved the report of
the health committees contract with DIR.
Joe w Jackson to be health officer for
one year, beginning with August 10, 1911,
at salary of $500 per year, together
with expenses and the same per diem
as the state board of health gets when
he is called to attend meetings sum-
moned by the state board. 1t was fur
ther stipulated that the city pay for
fumigating materials Thus is written
the last chapter of the city's fight with
the state for the right to appoint it's
health officer, in which fight the state
wins.
A claim of S53 against the city as
balance on plate glass window in
Charles W. Averill's block was presented
by S. Hollister Jackson, attorney, the
glass having been broken in the construc-
tion of new sidewalk when rock flew
from workman's pick. There was some
doubt as to the city's liability, in the
minds OF the council, whether the work
man was employed by the city at the
time, and the matter was referred 10 the
street committee to report,
To the charity committee and the
overseer of the poor was referred the
case of John Brennan, who is now in
county Jail for non-payment of 1909
poll tax, it being asserted that Bren
mans board was costing $3.50 week,
and he's been in Jail for five weeks re
the city had to pay the board eventually,
it was not considered profitable to let
the confinement run any longer. Mayor
Mutch thought an arrangement could be
made by the charity committee and the
overseer, so that the city would not be
out of pocket in the end.
Chief Sinclair of the police depart
ment reported a total Of thirty arrests
for October, of which fourteen were for
intoxication, six for illegal keeping, three
for search and seizure, six for breach
of the peace and one for tramping. The
report was accepted and placed on file.
Water Superintendent Reynolds sub
mitted his detailed report for the same
month. and it also was accepted and
placed on file.
Other business of the meeting was the
drawing Of weekly warrants, as follows:
