Barre's Increase Was Some
what Over $4,000, the
Assessors Find
PERSONAL APPRAISAL
PARTLY RESPONSIBLE
But Real Estate Showed an
Unexpectedly Large
Increase

| Although the grand list figures for
the assessors stated to-day that the
total would show an increase Of some
what over $1,000, thus giving the city
a total grand list ef about S64 800. Last
year the grand list was S54,720.9S, and
on that tax of $2.35 on the dollar
was levied A material reduction in the
tax rate for the present year can be
made, therefore, as a result of the large
ly increased grand list. A rate OF S2
on the dollar would bring approximately
as much as the $2.35 rate brought last
year; but certain additional expense
to the city this year is the direct state
tax, over and above the amounts re-
quired to run the municipality.
For its increased grand list Barre,
like every other community in the state,
finds the reason partly in the change in
the state law abolishing offsets for debts
owing; but at the same time there has
been a considerable increase In the real
estate appraisal, according to the i'm
formation given out by the assessors
this morning. The assessors We're not
prepared to publish the figures which
they have arrived at, for the reason that
the figures are liable to change some
what; but they were willing to announce
the approximate standing so that the
voters in the city meeting this evening
might have some fairly accurate idea
on which to base their action when the
bonding for the spaulding
school addition comes before them.
Following the meeting OF the board
Df civil authority, it will be possible
to determine exactly what Barre's grand
list for 1913 will be. The board will
meet next Thursday evening.

BARRE MEN PROTEST
WATTS AT MONTPELIER
Board of Trade Directors Authorize
Their Railroad Committee to Take
Action--NeY Committees Named
Fer the Organization.

At a meeting of the directors of the
Board OF Trade last evening, the rail.
road committee was authorized to take
what action it deemed necessary to Sc
cure better train service out of Barre
on the Central Vermont r. r. The chief
grievance is the enforced waits imposed
on passengers from Barre at Montpelier.
Passengers leaving Barre at O'Clock
for the south are compelled to wait
nearly 40 minutes. while southbound pas
sengers on the III 30 a. m. train have
to wait 20 minutes at Montpelier be-
fore proceeding to the Junction to take
their train.
Being unable to get any satisfaction
from the railroad officials, the board
now proposes to take the matter to
higher powers.
The following standing committees
were named by the president for the
Barre Board of Trade. for 19l3-l4:

The most important dramatic production
which Seattle has seen in many a day is
coming 10 Seattle and to the Seattle Theatre.
1t is "1he Regeneration" a play by Owen
Kildare. and this is the first time il has
been presented in this city at popular prices.
"Thc Regeneration" shows New York's
famous underworld. its brutality, its crime.
But il also shows what one woman can do
to make the world better.
AS a melodrama, from the standpoint OF the
commission and detection OF supposed crime,
it keeps up lively interest during the first
two acts. and after that. when the finish has
become obvious and mere matter OF working
out in detail. the play grows even better by
becoming deeply analytical OF real human
nature Simple, unaffected emotion, life as it
really is, is the hardest thing in the world

one of the most elaborate and picturesque
series of stage settings ever presented on this
stage. Special attention is called to the first
act set, showing "Chicory Hail." a hiding
place for toughs on the Bowery. New York.
"The Regeneration will open tonight. The
price will be 25c for any seat in the house.
but it will be we'll to go some other night,
for the demand for seats is very great, and
the house was sold out before noon. How
ever, "The Regeneration" runs all week, with
special matnees on Thursday, Saturday and
Sunday The evening prices are SOC for the
best seats in the house. and Doc for the
balcony, zoe for the gallery. These prices
are possible by reason Of the fact that the
Seattle Theatre is independent--thc only one
in Seattle which is not UNDER the domination
OF the Theatrical Syndicate OF New York City.
1t is expected that "The Regeneration" will
fill the fine old Seattle Theatre at Third and
