Acting on the urgent recommendation
of the city building Inspector, local rep
representative on Mrs. Helen Fowler of
Worcester, Mass, are soon to begin ex-
tensive repairs on the brick work of the
Wood block, so-called. BY authority,
the outside wall of the building, facing
North Main street, has been described
as dangerous and the owner of the block
has been given 10 days to make the
necessary repairs. From basement to
cornice much of the brick work is to be
removed and replaced. The greatest
trouble seems 10 be toward the north
end of the structure, where many of the
bricks are said to have been loosened by
time and winter frosts. Local brick ma |
sons will do the work and while il is
in progress a guard rail will be erected |
along the sidewalk. Four feet of walk |
will be reserved for the use of pedes- |

In July, Rangers field at North Barre |
is to be the scene of a large carnival, ac- |

as the Berlin street baseball field, is to |
be dotted with tents, merry go rounds, |
outdoor shows, shooting galleries, dane |
ing platforms, etc. Plans for the big |
week have been msterializing during the |
winter and committees from the club |
have been assigned to arrange for all of |
the minor details incident to the car
nival. The affair will be entirely diff ]
ferent from any outdoor fete ever at I
tempted in Barre, the promoters say.
People who have been interested in the |
carnival have already manifested much
enthusiasm and no pains will be spared |

If the owners present plans reach ma
turity, A. II. Buzzells ice rink on Pearl /
street is to be supplanted by a roller
skating rink, which will be in operation
by the coming summer Last year Mr..
Buzzell spent considerable money in
grading the south side OF the street just
east of the Pavilion theatre. During
the winter it was used as skating rink
and now the proprietor proposes to erect
thereon a modern, fireproof steel build
ing for a roller rink. To that end he
has applied to the city council for a
building permit. The rink building
would be run nearly flush with the street
to length of 1913 feet. Its end dimen-
sions would be 54-64 feet and the struc-
ture would be one story high. The walls I
would be of steel and heavy steel trusses
and girders would be introduced in the
frame work. Mr.. Buzzell has already 4
secured tentative plans from the Boston
Bridge Works, Inc, and plans to start 4
work as soon as the council acts on his
a nnlicafion
