BIG REALITY TRANSACTION
ON PROSPECT STREET
Page Bros. Sell Their Land and Buildings
to r. L. Clark, Who, 1t Is Reported,
Will Move Grain Business to
That Part of the Street.

A real estate transaction Of more than
passing Importance was completed to-
day. when the livery firm of Page Bros,
Win S. Page and Nat d. Page, trans
fcrred their property on Prospect street
to R. L. Clark, who recently disposed
of his grain store and other holdings
on the same street to the Barre Granite
railroad Possession will not be given
nutil next spring, when, according to
report, Mr.. Clark will proceed to erect a
modern grain store. The price named
in the deed is said to be around $4,000.
The sale includes the large horse barn
situated back from the street, a tract of
land and the brick house which fronts
the street just west of the new federal
building. Messrs. Page will continue
in the livery business until some time
next spring, when the horses, some 2s in
number, and the other livery equipment,
will be disposed of at private sale, 1t is
the intention of Will S. Page to continue
his veterinary practice in other quarters
in the city. N. d. Page and Alonzo
H. Page, who has for many years served
as bookkeeper at the Prospect street
stables. will devote most of their time
is now % years since Page Bros. pur-
chased the brick dwelling house and
barns of DR.. g. b. Nichols. During
the time intervening, they have built up
one of the most lucrative livery bust
nesses in the city, and their retirement
means the loss of firm that has gained
the respect and confidence of whole
community through its fair methods and
strictly honest business dealings.
The exact nature of Mr.. Clark's plans
in acquiring the property have not been
announced. 1t is known, however, that
he will re-establish himself in the grain

OUTSIDE so-R0D LIMIT.
Distance of New Postoffice from Station
Throws Mail Transportation on Govt.

+. NJ Carpenter of White River June
ton, chief clerk of the L. S. railway
mail service, was in Barre yesterday in
specting the new postofiice, particularly
with reference to the delivery of mail
from the railroad to the new building.
When the postofIiee is within so rods OF
the railroad station, the railway COM
pany, according to contract, delivers the
mail to the postoifice, but when the
distance is more than so rods it devolves
upon the government to make the de-
livery.
Measurements between the Central
Vermont station and the new postoffice,
which is just across Prospect street from
the old location. show that the distance
falls outside of the s0-rod limit, thus in
all probability throwing upon the gov
ernment the duty of carrying the mail
between the station and postoffice. For
a few wears past the railway company
has been paying for the delivery to and
from the postofffee, because il was found
after considerable litigation and one
years assumption of the obligation By
the government, that the front entrance
to the city hail. where the old postoffiee
was located. was inside the S0rod limit,
measuring by way of Main street, As
a matter of fact, the delivery was made
BY the rear door, the driver passing
around the city hall and making more
than so rods in the trip; but the rail-
way company paid for the delivery.
Now. however, the distance is more than
the so rods to the front entrance of the
new federal building, to say nothing of
driving around the building to the regu
lar entrance for the delivery. This
change was the cause for Mr.. Carpenters
visit
