week in behalf of the municipal Christ. I
mas tree, the suggestion is made that the |
park commissioners incorporate in their |
1917 program a plan for setting out
sturdy fir tree in city park and nurture
IL for future municipal Christmas OBJ
servances. This year the fact that Barre
is to have a municipal tree is due mainly |
to the activity of Z. NJ. Tobin, who /
trekked through the deep woods of east |
hill for the better part OF an afternoon I
before he sighted tree adequate to meet
the needs of the occasion. The tree was
donated by Fred Gale. a Barre Town /
farmer. but without Mr.. Tohin's persist
enee in beating the brush for tree wor-
thy of the Yuletide festival il is prob
able that Barre would have been back
number among the municipalities Of the I
state. Ex.Mayor w. H. Ward generous
" donated the use of his team in trans
porting the tree to the city and Mr.. To-
bin was assisted in the minor details by I
H. B. Partridge, although the former re
manned on the grounds to direct the work
of setting the tree. The Vermont Tel. &
Tel Co. will assist the linemen in wiring /
the tree with fixtures that have been
stored in the fire station since last
Christmas.
