With the work of completing the new
quarter mile stretch of permanent road |
from South Main street to the Barre /
Town line on Quarry street less than
two weeks away, according to the expect
atoms of the street superintendent and /
city engineer, the malicious action OF
small boys and others in that vicinity
have threatened seriously to retard the
progress which the road builders are
making. Recently these nightly depreda
tons have been carried 10 such extremes
that the road machinery, including the
steam roller and other apparatus, have
been tempered with and attempts have
been made TO let loose quantity of oil
stored in barrels on the scene. Police

likely that prosecutions win follow.
