Autoists who chose one of the finest
stretches OF road in Nermont-~the dis

Main street extremity. Road workers
have been employed busily for month
now and toward the end il was NIP
and tuek race to see If the highway he
tween the Quarry street intersection and
the city line would be ready for tralhe
in time for the state fair. How well the
highway workers have succeeded, no

stand on city park may be the last open
air performance OF the Barre CITIZENS
hand this season. although the band
manager has in mind a proposal TO hold
the two remaining concerts on consecu-
tive Sunday afternoons " September.
Not in a number OF years have lovers
of band music been privileged TO hear a
sunday afternoon concert here in the
citv and people who follow the fortunes
Of the band and have interested them
selvas in its welfare are manifesting a
liveIv interest over the plan suggested.
Owing TO the lateness of the season, band
concerts al night are not as popular as
- midsummer and Of late the stten1-
ance has been noticeably slim. BY rea-
son az its contract with the city, the
bapd Is still under an obligation TO play
two more concerts before the require
meuts are fulfilled.
