MONTPELIER
Community Christmas Tree in Position
City Hall Being Decorated.


Montpelier's community Christmas tree
was placed in its position on the lawn in
front of the city hall this morning, the
tree, which is to be ablaze with light and
loaded with presents for the little folks
late Christmas afternoon, stretching
nearly 80 feet skyward. The tree is the
result of the Woman's club efforts to
follow the example of other cities
throughout the state and country and
TO render some assistance. Workmen
were busy this forenoon in decorating
the front of the city hall with holly, and
an electric sign with the letters spelling
Merry Christmas" will be placed direct
ly over the entrance. The usual white
lights on the small balcony over the en-
tranceDof the building have been replaced
with those which send out a purple glow
and the city hall all this week viii re-
semble an electric palace with big ESQ
candlepower lights in use in the offices.
In the water department Office there
have been placed four Of the 250-watt
lights and the same is true in the city
clerks office and the police headquarters.
In the offices holly leaves have been hung
in the windows and bells and colored |
paper strung from the four corners of |
the rooms. To the OCCUPANTS of the diff
ferent offices and TO Mayor Boutwell, be-
longs the credit for the interest taken in
making the city hall take on an unusual
for the holiday.
