COOPERATION TOWARD BEAUTI-
FLYING THE CITY.

A correspondent to The Times writes
as follows: "a stranger recently pass
ing through our little city was much
impressed with the thrifty manner in
which the lawns were cared for by own
ers of property. 1t was also remarked
how much nicer and better the effect
would be if each individual would per-
sonaly look after the eurbstone of the
sidewalks, Strengthening such as need
be, also trimming the grass from side
walks and fowerbeds, thereby adding
to the effect and helping along the good
cause of beautifying our homes. Let
us all make an effort and see how much
we can improve our lawns, walks and
surroundings"
The work of Strengthening curbstones
of sidewalks is the duty of the munich
pality because the curbstones are on
public property and, moreover the work
is so difficult that individuals could
scarcely be expected to do the work
property. Therefore, leaving that work
to the municipality to perform, the in
dividual property owners and tenants
can carry out the other very good sug-
gestions made by the correspondent in
the letter above reprinted and add ma
terially to the general attractveness of
the city. That the people Of the city
are paying more attention to the small
tasks of identifying their premises is at
tested by the frequent favorable com
ments made by visitors, such as called |
forth the suggestion by the correspond
ent and, particularly, by returning visit
ors after few years absence. To these
latter it is very evident that Barre is
making progress toward identifying it.
self and that il is markedly in advance |
Of what it was ten years ago in this
respect. In view of this fact, the peo-
pie of Barre, both property owners and
tenants, can well afford to spend little
more time and effort in removing some
OF the things which tend to retard the 4
progress of the good movement They
will find that the results will be worth
far more than the costs.

PUBLIC HEALTH pURcHAsABLE.
A Struggle Between the Death Rate and
the Dollar Rate.

II is the contention of those that give
their lives TO the study of the subject
that public health is purchasable

tween the death rate and the dollar rate.

Montpelier has taken the right step
in securing a large tract OF land at a
small annual rental to be used as a
playground for the boys and girls OF
the city. The benefit OF such feature
OF municipal life has been recognized
for some years, particularly in the larg-
err centers of population; and many mu-
inequalities have gone to considerable ex-
pense in providing land removed from
the street, where children can congregate
and indulge in their games and sports
with minimum danger to themselves and
with no interruption to traffic. In its
case, Montpelier is fortune in being able
to lease such large tract as Langdon
meadow in the north end of the city
and at merely nominal rental.

lJohn Berinato asked permission to erect
Ian awning over his store at the corner

without the lengthy deliberation accord
ed the last application of like nature,
the request was granted ON the motion
Iof Alderman Bancroft, who Incorporated
| in motion provisions that the awning
should be eight and one-half feet above

the appropriation Of $1,000 to the tenn
porary loan fund was passed to sec

| Chairman Dawson of the library com
mittee reported that 567 volumes at
the public library were in need of re-
pair and that the committee had the
sum of sl7010 in hand for that pur.
pose. During the course of Alderman
Dawson's remarks, he quoted the libra
rian as saying that juvenile books az
a rule were found to be in better condi
ton than the bound literature favored
largely by older readers. The matter
OF repairing the volumes was left with
the library committee. An old complaint
from Papin Bros. regarding the construc-
ton of a sewer was discussed at some
length before adjournment.
