ante Manufacturers Ask
for Extension of the
Sewer
MAKE APPLICATION
TO THE ALDERMEN
Latter Take Case Under
Consideration-Many
Reports Received

Three granite manufacturing firms and
the city board Of health were represent
ed in conference held in the council
chamber at city hall last evening wher,
the board Of aldermen, in regular weekly
| session, was asked to assist in the con-
struction of sewer on South Front
street at the north end to accommodate
the firms of Marion & O'Leary, Guidici
Bros, the Dewey Column Co., Hoyt &
Lebouryeau and possibly Others. The
petitioners seemed to be in fair wav
to get the sewer when Alderman Pat
terson recalled a statement made by
Health Officer DR.. J. II. Woodruff, who
quoted DR.. c. s. Caverly of the state
board of health to the effect that manu-
PASTURES could be compelled to put in
their own sewers in order to comply
with the state factory regulations.
On behalf of the South Front street
firms, James 7. Marion, who was pres
ent with his partner, John 0'Leary, and
James Brown Of the Dewey company,
offered to pay one-half the cost Of con
struction and in speaking before the
board he set forth the need af sewer
accommodations, claiming that the sit
uation in that section would not per-
nit cesspool. Correspondence had
passed between the Marion & 0Ieary
firm and the state factory Inspector,
and the manufacturers had been advised
to confer with the local health officer
DIR. Woodruff had recommended that
sewer be built as solution to the sew
age disposal problem. Mr., Marion
thought the city should assume the same
attitude toward manufacturers as it does
toward home builders and Others in the
matter of construction.
When called to the council chamber,
DR. Woodruff repeated. the statement
made to MIN BY the membel of the state
board Of health and expressed his opin-
ion that the manufacturers could be
held to assume the burden of expense
in building a sewer. With members OF
the board, however, he concurred in the
belief that the city should extend mid
in the present instance. MIR. Marion
said the sewer need not extend beyond
a total. distance Of 800 feet; the cost
would hardly exceed $780, he said, quot
ing from an estimate made by the city
engineer, and in the vicinity of 200 men
would be served On the motion OF
Alderman keefe the request was referred
to the committee of the whole to in
vestigate and report.
A volume of routine business occupied
the remainder of the session. The build
ing Inspector reported favorably on the
following applications to build: Mrs. G.
AIiotti, to erect store building on Center
street Sias Matott, annex to barn off
Washington street; II. j. Slayton, to
build addition to piazza at A Pike
street John Cleary to build chimney at
81 North Main street; Barre City hos
pital, to shingle roof; Mrs. Anna Lotti.
to erect house; James Sullivan, to build
shed, 2l Brooklyn street; A. Colombo,
to build piazza, l6 George street; Robert
Colombo, to erect hen house, Bassett

% reshingle house 27 Maple avenue; G.
1eryazi, to build foundation for dwell
ng, Oswald street; NJ. CAM, to build
zen house, a Pike street.
Upon reviewing the reports, Alderman
Dawson questioned the wisdom OF grant
ng permit for building so near the
treet as the store which Mrs. MiottI
proposed to erect. On a motion made
" Alderman Bancroft, her request was
eferred to the street committee and per-
nits were ordered granted to all other
applicants City Clerk aiackay present
a written agreement between the city
nd the Granite Savings bank, relative
o the brick auction structure off De-
,ot square. The instrument referred to
ertain restrictions and conditions and
ad never been signed by the city. II
