COMMITTEE REPORT
UPHOLDS THE BAND
City Hospital Trustees Civ
en- Permit to Erect 40
by IA Structure


| Barre is not to be without its weekly
| open air concert this summer; the rr-
NOR that the Citizens band is sadly deci-
mated has been dissipated in thin air;
and its members are exculpated from
those first vague insinuations that they
have been derelict in the matter of re-
hearsing. Vindication comes through
report from the special aldermanic band
committee at the regular meeting of the
board of aldermen last night. In the
words of the report "the band is not
deficient IN numbers" nor, on the other
hand, is its music of a quality caIculat-
ed to make such immortals as Lszt or
Handel flop over IN their graves. The
band IS solid and its music is going to
speak for itself ere long. The report
was accepted, and the committee, CON
sisting of Aldermen Bruce, Hoban and
Cook, are going right to work on a 81, 900
contract which is to stipulate that the
musicians must furnish no fewer than
l6 concerts.
A number of petitions demanded at
tention. Residents of East street asked
for cement sidewalk to extend along
the highway from Academy street to
Eastern avenue. Nine petitioners asked
for cement sidewalk on the northerlv
side OF Washington street from Hill to
Nelson streets. Their petitions were re-
ferred to the street committee. The pc
tition OF several property owners who
request street light near the corner OF
East street and Eastern avenue was re-
ferred to the lighting committee. A re-
quest for street sprinkling on Hill street
from Ayers street to the railroad cross
ing was referred to the street committee
with power to act.
Indications that the new Barre CITY
hospital is soon to be a reality came
with the building inspectors report. The
trustees applied for permit to con-
struct hospital building on Washing
ton street near the site OF the present
hospital structure. 1t is to be three
stories high with wall dimensions of
40xl44 feet. The Inspector recommended
favorable action and a permit was grant
ed. Others who were successful in OBJ
tanning permits on the inspectors APP
proval were: Mrs. d. Sanguinetti for a
driveway to her livery stable
buildings on North Main street; Pres

their stoneshed off Wiley street; Mrs.

Ayers street; G. ]. bowers, to build

Alexander Emslie, the well known lunch
man, appeared and asked permission to
move Jacks lunch" building from its
present site to another site in front Of
The auction market on North Main
street. Petitioner said the move was to
be only temporary that new struc-
Bure is to be erected on the present site,
md that the old building viii likely be
'azed. On the motion OF Alderman
Neefe the request was granted with pro-
visions that the lunch room be torn down
within so days of its removal. Cecil
)owers was granted permission to move
i henhouse on Bank street.
A needed impetus to the cleanup
movement was given when the clerk

,riation and was adopted without dis
usslon- The lighting committee report
