That the system of accounting now in
use at city hall incorporates all of the
desirable features Of the uniform system
adopted by referendum throughout the
state at the March elections and goes
farther by including much that is essen
tial in reckoning municipal finances was
the gst of a motion adopted by the city
council at its regular session last even-
/ ing, when the clerk was instructed to
! notify the secretary Of state that Barre
\ is not contemplating any change in its
4 present system. Inquiry concerning the
uniform system recommended by the spe-
cial commission sometime prior to the
March election developed the information
that many of the most valuable features
OF Barre's system are to be found in the
so-caled uniform system, and when the
city clerk received Il communication from
the state secretary asking that requisi-
ton be made on the state for the supplies
necessary to the adoption Of the uniform
system, it was decided to bring the mat
ter before the council Without dis
senting vote the council went on record
last night as fayoring the retention of
the system that has been part and parcel
of the city government for several years.
There were two callers at the meeting,
two who were heard before the council
waded into a batch OF routine business
that ended in an executive session. Da-
vid Gilbertson recently confirmed as wir-
ing Inspector, dropped in to ascertain the
nature of his duties. It soon became APP
parent that Mr.. Gilbertsons idea Of what
ia r.npuiraI t,,oo17,rnI ~
the councils notion Of how an Inspector
should acqut himself in the discharge Of
his duties Intimations were made that
certain phases OF the inspectors duties
had been ignored in the past and Mr.. Gil
bertson, in qualifying himself for the po-
sition was asked to insist that wiremen
live up to the requirements OF the ordi-
nance. 1t was suggested that dealers in
electrical supplies and fixtures be re
quested to post notices in their shops
that will call the attention of patrons to
the necessity of consulting the inspector.
City Attorney William Wishart ap-
peared with a request that the council
honor his petition for an increase in sal
ary. Mr. Wishart said he accepted the
office last year as a sort Of trial He
thought that the $3.50 recommended by
the salary committee last week was in
adequate and suggested that a little
boost would be perfectly proper The
for fairly busy year in the
,ity attorneys department, he went on,
ire looming rather large and substan
,ial increase would be wholly welcome.
During an executive session Mr.. Wish
lrt was called in to consider the question
