. stonesheds of Barre are to be included II
the agreement which the granitecutters
association is to submit to the manufac
turers before March l. A draft of the
; bill which the cutters hope to substitute
for the agreement now in force lays
: special stress on this feature and to enc
phasize the fact that cutters and bosses
alike are working with common end in
view with reference to sanitary arrange
ments the two factions were represented
by committee which appeared before
the board of aldermen at its regular
meeting last night. Conferences be-
tween the manufacturers and the granite
cutters have had for one of their pri-
mary results the expression of sentiment
in favor of improved sanitary facilities
all along the line.
Henry Alexander, president of the
granite cutters local and Daniel J. Sui
/ livan and Harley ID. Stevens of Stevens
! & Jones, who represented the manufac-
| turers, told the aldermen what they
thought should be done to alleviate con
dtions in certain localities. Members of
the board held that much had been ac
complished already and that the city fa
theirs will continue to install sewer con-
nections and lay pipes whenever finances
will warrant. Views on the situation
were freely exchanged and in the end the
cutters committee promised to return
with a list of the sheds where sewer con-
notions had not been made.
Mayor Ward thought the city would
always stand ready TO help the manufac-
turers If they are ready to help them
selves. Alderman Bancroft spoke in de
tail of the improvements made within
the past year and said that more work
Is contemplated next year. II was Al
derman Hoban who proposed that list
OF sheds without adequate facilities BE-
tabulated by the committee and submit
ted to the board of aldermen. Mr.. Alex
andcr said the state board of health had
conferred with the cutters committee
and stands ready to aid if its services
are needed. Mr.. Alexander intimated
that the state board apparently, is with
out much power in enforcing sanitary
regulations.
The manufacturers representative. Mr..
Stephens, thought the manufacturers
were "up against it" as he phrased IT,
in certain sections. His own firm he
went on, would have to go out of bus
mess in preference to financing a sewer
on Smith street. costly as such pro-
iect would be on account of the land
level there. In his opinion manufacture
ers who are in position TO make sewer
should be compelled to do
so. and Mr.. Alexander shares this opin-
ion 10 the extent OF saving that make
shifts for sanitary equipment now in use
should he demolished. Running water
: available in all instances and the man
lfacturers need only the sewers dug.
Alderman Hoban's motion 10 ask the
for a list Of sheds as Vet un-
upplied with desirable sanitary sppl-
luces prevailed. Before the committee
eft the council chamber. Mr. Alexander
tated that list would he prepared.
