{. Stumm of New York, one-third of
gross receipts with guarantee of $500
per year as minimum; S. f. keegan OF
Boston, $1,000. 1t will be seen that Mr..
keegan's offer is the largest of the lump
prices submitted and is conceded bv those
who are familiar with the play business
in Barre to be a better bid than the per-
centage offer OF the New York man. Ar
bids are for one year, the term to begin

| Ter action in the matter until this even

out of discussion over the engaging
OF the janitor at city hall for another
year was raised question as to whether
the city is legally bound to furnish a
courtroom, or whether the municipality
can assess the state rent for the use OF
the courtroom at city hall. Sentiment
seemed to favor an investigation and the
property committee was instructed To
look into the matter and to confer with
George A. Bemis, the present iantor at
city hall. Under the new law the iuris.
dietion OF Barre city court il 10 be on
larged materially and the point was made
that the city is not morally obligated in
the matter of furnishing a courtroom for
outside towns. Ii was also stated that
when the court is in session witnesses
aud others who are called in city hall in
connection with hearings are given al
most unlimited rein in moving about the
Uwcr floor of the building.
