WIN Tue INK scarcely dry on 1tS IN
Evaporation papers, the Barre Historical
association bestirred itself to fresh activ-
lity at the regular meeting of the city
lconncil last evening when petition for
awarded by Miss Carrie NJ Wheeock, ask
ling for the control of the old Church
street schoolhouse and its use as reli-
lquary for antiques, was received. That
the petition was referred at once to the
/ aldermanic committee of the whole for
! prompt investigation indicates that the
city fathers already securing the horizon
for a means Of using the snperannuated
house Of study to some good purpose,
are in a receptive mood as regards the
structure.
Very recently a number of Barre peo-
pie brought about the Incorporation of
the society and one of the reasons for
this step, it is said was to enable per-
sons interested in the preservation of
antiques to hold in trust, or by title,
articles of historical value. In its petit
tion to the council the society refers to
the inadequacy of the present historical
room at city hall, condition which Of
fers no alternative than a refusal when
tenders of bulky articles are made. De-
claring that the society eontemplates
making radical alterations to the school
house if the request is granted, the Pc
tition goes on to ask that sufficient
time limit be attached to the lease in
order to warrant considerable expendi-
ture of money. The schoolhouse, it adds,
is ideally situated and with changes can
be adapted admirably to the uses of
for exhibition articles of histor-
ical and antiquarian value.
Streets Set Aside for Coasting.
One dangerous hill, that which includes
sections of Berlin and Railroad streets,
is removed from the list of streets des-
ignated for coasting purposes, as incor-
porated in report made by the street
committee and accepted. The streets
assigned to winter pastimers are: Batch
elder street, Camp street, East street,
long and Warren streets, upper Granite
street, Park street from the fremont
treet intersection southerly, Beckley
treet, John street and Foster street.
amp and John streets are additions to
he list in use last year, <e latter be-
ng a substitution for the children who
re wont to coast down berlin street.
'arents are asked TO keep the foregoing
ist in mind and to caution their or
pring against eoasting on hills not in
luded therein
