Barre Street Committee and
Two Other Officials
WILL START TOMORROW
They Will Inspect. Roads In Boston and
Surrounding Cities, Also in Worces-
ter and Springfield to Find Out
What's Best for Barre.

1t has been decided by the city coun-
ell to send the three meinbers Of the
street committee, Aldermen Thurston,
Brown and Ward, City Engineer Reed
and Street Superintendent DeBrune on
tour through Massachusetts, for the
purpose of studying good road build
ing and the kind of materials, etc.,
which are being used to make the best
roads
The street committee and the city en-
giner will leave Sunday night for Bos-
ton where they will be joined by Super
intendent DeBrune, who went to Bos-
ton last night They will inspect the
streets in parts of Boston and the sur
rounding cities and will probably go to
Worcester and Springfield. They will
be gone about -four days.
The object OF this tour is to ascer-
tain what kind of roads are most in
vogue in these cities and whether ma
cadam or block paving is the best for
roads that are heavily travelled. The
ideas which the committee get from
their investigations will be reported to
the council and it is expected that it
will have bearing on the kind
oil road to be laid on North Main
street this summer
Nearly all the abuttors on the street,
north of Granite street and as far as
Seminary street. have expressed pref
erence for macadam, and the committee
will study the various kinds Of ma
cadam, so that if it is decided TO fol-
low the expressed wishes Of the abut-
tors they will know what kind OF
macadam viii stand the most wear
In case North Main street from
Granite northerly to Seminary street
is to be macadamized. there will be
an intervening strip between Granite st.
and the granite block pavement end
ing at Depot square which has no pave
ment of ny sort There is considerable
sentiment in favor of continuing the
block pavement over this strip, while
some citizens wish to continue the same
kind Of road northerly Of Granite
street.

twenty men with families will come
from Hardwick with the company. The
firm has been in business in Hardwick
for fifteen years and is one of the most
reliable in the place.
The citizens and business men OF Nor
risville have been very liberal and the
special village meeting Monday even
ing allowed lower rate of taxation to
new enterprises, and this, added to the
fact that this place can furnish steady
power at price cheaper than the com.
pany was able to get elsewhere, caused
the decision in favor of Morrisville.
