NO APPROPRIATION
FOR HILL ST. ROAD
Aldermen Looked with Favor on Propo-
sition of County Supervisor Currier
but Failed to Accept Because
Of Shortage of Funds.
Of Shortage Of Fnnds.

Bereft OF its representatives in the
first and second bailiwicks, an alder
manic board of four members came to.
gether at city hall last evening to trans
act the week : accumulation of business.
Among those present were r. S. Currier.
county supervisor of highways, and City
Engineer Reed. who brought along a
proposition calling for the expenditure
of something like $3.50 on road improve
ment along the Trow hill road. As the
visitors explained it. Barre Town has
disbursed S75 in repairing the highway
to the line and the city. to complete the
work on Hill street should remove a
4 ledge on the road al an expense of $500
and grade the highway at a cost of SlsS
additional.
| On behalf Of the state, Supervisor Cur.
rier offered to furnish the powder and
do the blasting thereby eliminating all
but $500 or s400 of the cost, according
to the estimate of the engineer Mr.
CTrier intimated that the money avail
able from the state for the matter in
hand might not he available next year.
For moment or two, the aldermen were
inclined to look with favor on the pro-
posal, but the mere mention of cost in
these trying times of stringencv in city
affairs straightway alienated them from
any serious determination to continue
the work now completed by the Town.
President Bancroft and the mavor ap-
proved the idea OF road improvement in
that neighborhood hut voiced the senti-
ment OF the board when they said that
the financial situation would prevent the
board from making any additional APP
preparation this year. The matter rested.
In communication addressed TO the
board, Mayor Ward appointed Carl c.
Perkins as wire Inspector to fiji the va
caney caused by the failure of the first

pointment was unanimously ratified bv
the board and il is understood that he
will qualify at once.
