the Barre city council at its regular meet
ing Monday night Lords alley resi-
dents, weary of having their thorough
fare SO designated, petitioned the council
for change TO Mount Vernon place, with

matter will be held in the council cham
Der ON the evening of June l3 at 8 o'clock.
The municipal statesmen also legislated
concert music for the coming season and
made a great deal of music for their own
delectation, probably, in discussing the
matter of giving the Christopher Column
bus band of young musicians slice of
the purse that goes to more mature band
men each year.
| Much that was vapor hung around the
discussion of splitting the 81 900 appro-
| priation for outdoor music and before the

Among the other callers were O. H.
Hale and G. Tomasi. Mr.. Hale, who re-

which made il difficult for him to move
the property on short notice. The re
quest was not granted as the council
seemed to feel that the auctioneer had

the sheds was supposed TO be
enforced month ago, it was said.
