WIDEN EASTERN AVENUE
Plans Submitted to Commercial Club
for Making the Street Uniform
Width of Fifty Feet.

At the weekly dinner OF the execu-
tive committee of the Commercial
club Saturday, an engineer submitted
a plan for Strengthening Eastern
Avenue and widening it so it will
have uniform width of so feet. The
plan if carried out would necessitate
the removal of the scales in front of
George P. Moore's Office 1t would
take off a corner of the Hartshorn
building and - necessitate moving
Peters blacksmith shop back about
five feet. Probably no change would
be made in front Of the court mouse
grounds. At the meeting next Sat
urday the engineer will report an
estimate of the cost Of such an i'm
provement outside of the land dam
ages.
DR.. Allen of the special committee
to arrange for the Fourth of July
celebration made quite lengthy re-
port of what was planned for that
day. The committee has had good
success in securing money and ex-
poets to give a fine celebration.
The health board to whom the
rumor had come that some families
were still using the river water found
upon investigation that it was I'M
possible as the village trustees have
shut the water off from al: houses.
The committee voted to extend the
time for submission Of a proposed
slogan for the club two weeks. So
every one has the opportunity from
now until Saturday, June "a, to sug-
gest: slogans and the man who names
the one that is apopted will get
prize of S5.
The Industrial committee will
meet with the executive committee
next Saturday. They are in CORES
pondence with some manufacturing
firms that may be induced to establish
themselves in st. Johnsbury.

VOTED DOWN THE PROJECT.
A Few Voters in Special Town Meet.
ing Disapproyed of VentiIating
School Buildings.

At the special town meeting few
of the voters refused to instruct the
school commissioners to venti1ate all
the school buildings in town as voted
at the regular town meeting. There
were not over 100 voters present At
the opening cf the meeting George
Caldbeck moved that the article in
the warning be laid on the table.
School Commissioner Porter oppos-
ed the motion and explained that the
installation of proper plumbing, heat
ing and ventilating apparatus in the
school buildings would cost about
$4,000. Commissioner Steele also
spoke explaining the conditions in
other school buildings and Mr.. CaId-
beck's motion was defeated.
Herry M. Nelson then moved that
the school directors be instructed to
equip whatever school buildings it
seemed advisable to them with
proper system Of heating, plumbing
and ventilating. This motion was
lost by narrow margin.
The school commissioners plan to
complete the systems of modern
plumbing in the Union school build
ings on Summer street before school
opens in the fall. This is very nee
essary and when it is done ventilat-
ing system will not seem SO expen-
siVe.
