$ Two pieces of city property, the oil
{ Church street schoolhouse, and watel
! right in East Barre, were under scrutiny
at the regular meeting of the board Of
aldermen last evening and several sug
gestions for their maintenance or dis
posal were referred to committees fol
, investigation A communication from
the Interstate Realty Co. asked informa-
tion regarding water right east of the
World Granite Co.'s plant, intimating
too, that the company would like to pur-
chase the property. 1t was recalled that
the city paid the Grearson Granite Co.
$4,000 for the property when the Orange
reservoir was established several years
ago. The deal would involve only the
rights of howage, a small piece of land
near the Warren Nye farm, SO called,
and the privilege of building dam,
After the matter had been discussed
from several angles, Alderman Healy
moved that the city clerk be instructed
TO acknowledge receipt of the communi-
cation and to ask for proposal from
the company. M. w. Hoadley & Sons
of Montpelier are interested in the Inter
state company.
! Talk drifted from the water privilege
to the Church street school. Alderman
keast thought that some disposition
should be made of the property, now
| lying idle. Alderman ShurtIeff was
among those who suggested using the
building as a schoolhouse and Alderman
Glysson spoke of the inadequate and
almost unsanitary conditions in the pres
ent police headquarters. There were
those who thought the police station
plan far from feasible. On the motion
of Alderman Glysson, the schoolhouse
discussion was referred to the alderman
ic committee of the whole with instruc-
tions to vestigate and report.
