NO STATE LICENSE
FEE IMPOSED
On Foot Peddlers, Was Revealed When
Case Came Up in Barre City
Court To-day.

II was revealed IN city court this
morning that there is no state law com
pelling foot peddlers to pay state
complaint against one NJ. Schoz a ped
dler OF clothing and similar goods, who
was arrested on States Attorney Carv-
er's warrant. Scholz had paid local
license to sell goods, and he was plying
his trade about the city with that as
security and had been for a week. Yes
terday he was brought to city court,
and the case was continued to this
morning.
When the case came up again to-day
his attorney. S. Hollister Jackson. put
in for defense that the statutes do not
require a foot peddler TO take out a
state license; and. sure enough. an eN-
animation OF the revised laws OF 1910
did not show the former section OF the
peddlers' law which required foot ped
dlers to pay SIS for state license.
Therefore. States Attorney Carver asked
that the case be mol pressed and the
case was thus disposed Of
Whether the section OF the law was
left out by accident or by design is not
known. The peddler's license law was
amended at the 1910 session OF the legis-
lature 10 include peddlers who travel
about by motor vehicle as well as by
beast propelled vehicles, aud it is pos
sible that the line concerning foot ped
dlers was dropped out by mistake. Any
way, Scholz was a happy man.

Barre QuarrieS Are Seriously
Handicapped by Weather
WORST FOR TEN YEARS
The Largest Granite Plant in the City
Shut Down To-day Because of In
ability to Get Granite from
Milestone Hill Quarries.

Quarying operations OH Milestone hill
have been seriously interfered with all
the winter, and the output of Barre
granite is not as large as it might have
been under more favorable weather con
dtions. Veteran quarry owners say that
not for ten years have the conditions
been so bad as during the present winter
which is dragging along to a close. The
same man stated that the orders We're
piling up so fast that he didn't believe
they could be filed entirely before the
middle Of June. Local manufacturers
are clamoring for rough stock, and the
cutting plant OF Jones Bros. company,
the largest in Barre, was compelled to
shut down to-day because there was
not enough stock on hand to keep the
men busy.
lIi the first place. there have been
heavy falls Of snow throughout the win
ter. eliminating with the big storm of
yesterday, which deposited another thick
blanket over the quarries. In addition.
the cold weather has been another seri-

well-nigh suspended on the quarries, be-
cause OF the inability to get at the
stock. The snow OF yesterday forenoon
turned into water later in the day; aud
the water turned to ice under the chill
ing effects OF northeast blizzard. As
result, the stone was coated this morn
ing with q thick sheet OF ice: and the
attention OF the men was directed
toward breaking this covering during the
greater part Of the day. 1t can be seen,
therefore. that granite quarrying has
been conducted under unusual handicaps
all the season.
Quarry owners say that there are ex-
cellent prospects for rushing business in
their line OF the industry just as SOON
as the weather becomes seasonable. as
the orders are coming in very rapidly,
indicating that the Barre granite busi
ness is on the boom. But at present
their hands are practically tied by Jack I
Frost Ten years ago there was an
other winter similar To this. aud the
quarry owners all remember that They
now promise to 20 out cunning for the
