LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
THE AUTO FIRE TRUCK.
Correspondent Believes City Should Use
Business Judgment in It's Purchase.

/
Editor of the Barre Daily Times,
Dear Sir: The question of an auto
fire truck for our city fire department
seems to be receiving considerable atten.
| ton from the citizen body at the present
time, and with your kind permission
would like to present my views on the
matter, and might say right here that
my opinion was reached after talking
with no less than seventy five Or eighty
| interested citizens.
In the first place, | realize that both
| the north and south ends need better tirC
| protection, and without doubt that pro.
lection could best be given by an auto
fire truck The city should not hesitate
10 spend money to protect the industry
upon which Barre's progress il founded
Let us have fire truck by all means
but let us 90 about its purchase right
Ii seems to me that, in the first place
this is special case that requires special
knowledge. Ii we were TO erect a public
building, we would consult architects
first, not contractors; ii we were to
bridge a stream, we would first consult
an engineer, and then the men who had
the bridge to sell.
II we are going to purchase a fire
truck, why not bring il before the com
mttee of the whole, and have them call
in such men as William NJ Holden, n ID.
Phelps, or any other disinterested par
ties who are familiar with the mechani-
cal parts of motor-driyen machines. to
give their opinion on such propositions
as may be submitted for consideration ?
And with this end in view. why not ad.
vertise to the makers Of auto trucks that
the city of Barre is in the market for an
auto fire truck. and is now ready to
have specifications and bids submitted
for consideration by its council? This
would seem more like a practical bust
ness procedure, and would certainly re-
suit in the purchase of an auto fire
truck Of the best type for the least
money. 1t is concession that the may
or and six aldermen owe to the citizens
who elected them to the positions of
trust that they now ill.
Again, understand that there are
makers of trucks who are willing and
anxious to send a truck here and DEM
onstrate its fitness and adaptability to
our local conditions. This being so, it
would be the height of folly not to avail
ourselves of this chance to let the eiti
zens see what they are buying.
With the above statements in view
would it not be well for the council to
delay the second reading of the resolu-
ton appropriating money for this pur-
pose until such time as more definite
knowledge is obtainable so that there
shall be no regrettabe error made in this
most important proposition!

places can be converted into profitable
investments through the planting of rap
idly growing trees, we shall need much
larger forestry department than we have
now.
After all is said and done, the biggest
gold mine in Vermont is to be found in
the multiplying of our products through
intensive farming. The ways in which
this can be accomplished are almost end
less, and il is not necessary to discuss
them in detail at this time.
What we now desire to emphasize is
the pressing need of determination on
tho part of the farmers of Vermont to
adopt measures at the coming session
OF the legislature to make big begin
ming in this direction before another
year rolls round
The farmers of Vermont must start
by helping themselves, and then the de-
partments of agriculture ana of forestry
and of publicity, all cooperating, can
assure much Greater Vermont" at
the end of the coming five years.
This can not be accomplished, If we
wait four years or even two years
The wear OF 1912 has already started ont
auspiciously in the Green Mountain
state, and its close should see in opera
tor movement sweeping the whole
commonwealth toward that Greater
Vermont" for which we are all hoping
and for which also we can all work.

Press Notices Are Favorable.

The press notices which have been re-
ceived convince the ladies of the civic
federation that the Adelphi quartet,
which sings at the opera house next
Wednesday evening, will be of an un-
usually high order of musical merit.
"Mr Oscar Hunting, the young basso, "
says the Musical Courier of New York,
'was a veritable surprise. His voice
is one of great power and beauty and
great future surely awaits him." The
Boston Transcript speaks of the bari
tone in this way: Gone of the features
of the evening was the singing of Mr..
George Yates kells, whose broad bari
tone voice and artistic finish of style
were admirably brought out by his Sc
loctions." The second tenor has received
this commendatory paragraph: MIR.
Crawford possesses a lyric tenor voice
of unusual sweetness and beauty, His
training has been admirable and his
tone production faultlcss. He sings with
delightful ease and most pleasing IL
depreciation. This from the Boston
Journal in regard to the first tenor and
manager of the quartet: "Mr. Robert
Mackenzie. tenor, gave several selections
which were thoroughly enjoyed. Iic
shows good training and his voice is of
a peculiarly sweet and sympathetic quail
ity."
The quartet paid one of our Barre
musicians high compliment, but well
merited, when it asked Mrs. n b. Bal
lard to be the aecompanist for their
concert here This will be an added at
traction to our own people, as Mrs. Bal
lsrd's musical ability is so well known
and appreciated.
The tickets for this concert went on
sale at Hendricks this morning. Prices,
35 and so cents.

There is reaper whose name Is death
And with his cycle keen
He reaps his bearded grain In breath
And the flowers that grow between"
This time it was a flower planted
on earth on the 18th OF October 1912.
Before the cold blast of time had be-
gun to chill and wither this precious
flower it was transplanted to a
brighter land above on the 18th of
October. One less on earth, one
more in heaven.
Thus every time we stand around
the tomb. how doubly sweet is Jesus.
Loved ones grieve not for instead
of the frail arms of humanity encir-
cling the precious baby, the Almlgh-
ty arms of Jesus are around her and
she is spared SO much trouble, care
and suffering in this life.
