BUILD ORGAN LOFT AT ONCE.
Presbyterians Let Contract to Clarence
Foley.

The contract for erecting an organ loft
at the south end of the First Presby-
terian church has been let to Contractor
| Clarence Foley and work on the annex
will be started at once. The announce
ment that the contract had been award
ed to-day follows a number of contrary
circumstances that have combined to
delay the installing of the pipe organ
purchased by the local church last win
ter from St. Paul's church in Burlington
Soon after the organ, knocked down,
was unloaded here in Barre, a number
of men OF the church and their pastor
dug foundation and laid the walls for
the structure. Afterward the work was
held up and nothing was done until the
arrival OF the new pastor
With the work under way before the
present week expires. Presbyterians
hope to have their organ installed in
time for an opening recital around the
beginning of the new year. The building
is to be 20 feet high with the width of
feet. The walls are to have lineal
dimensions of q feet and are to be built
of solid brick. In every way the annex
will harmonic with the architectural
style of the church building proper.
Since the pipe organ was transferred
from Burlington TO Barre it has been
stored in the basement of the church.

The building was burned Sunday night
and it Is supposed that some boy or
boys took this means OF avoiding the
necessity of attending school.
The fire started in the woodshed and
was undoubtedly Of incendiary origin.
States Attorney B. L. Stafford of this
city was in Ira yesterday but failed to
get any clue to the identity OF the in.
cendaries. The children in this district
have for several years been transported
to the central district school, but the
recent influx of Polish families have
made it necessary to repair the building
one Tower hill and this was done at
cost of several hundred dollars. The
loss is estimated at 81 900 and there is
no insurance.
