Over half of Barre's state road work

Johnsbury has been completed by Street
Superintendent j. C. DeBrune and his
men. Beginning at the Maple avenue
intersection of Brook street, the work
has been pushed toward the city line and
thus more than $500 feet of the distance
has been graveled and pronounced com
pleter. Brook street as far east as the
Merchant street intersection just below
the city farm will shortly be one of the
best pieces OF state road in this section.
If this years appropriation for state

fered greatly during the past few years.
Plans call for the elimination of bad
pitches to the grade and other improve
ments.
