LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
The selling Of Peaches in Barre.

Editor, Barre Daily Times: A travel
| ing salesman recently asked me why
tie city Of Barre doesn't protect its
merchants ard local pedders against
outsiders who come in to sell their goods
without license and tell the people
they represent local dealers told him
that II the MATTE was presented to the
board of aid 4rmen they might do some
thing about it. but couldn't guarantee
they would. I am also informed that
Burlington fruit dealers come in here
and sci. peaches for $l25 per basket,
and tell the people there are five to
seven dozea in the basket, and only 35
TO 40 peaches are found; and it is said
that one woman found about one dozen
good ones in the basket,
Now think the aldermen should look
into this matter, or someone should look
after them. The people should be pro-
tccted, and the merchants and local
pcddlers who pay their share towards
supporting our city government should
have the protection they are entitled
to.
