which DR.. c. f. Dalton of Burlington,
secretary of the state board of health,

ter OF selecting secretary, the selection
of the state board was generally com
mended and in accepting the communica-
tion the members concurred in move to
cooperate with Dr. Stickney in his

just after the council convened, Mayor
Glysson, who had been scanning the pay
roll OF the street department, called at
tention to an item which provided for
the payment of SIS to a man whom the
mayor claimed had been out of action
for a week. Chairman Milne of the
street committee was unable to furnish
any information in the case, as it devel-
oped that the street payroll comes to
the committee from the superintendent;
but the mayor was able to supply the
deficiency
In the payroll the laborer in question
was credited with a weeks work, be-
ginning the Monday before Labor day
The sum of SO was charged to mainte-
nance and the remainder to resurfacing
Mayor Glysson declared that he was in
iured on the morning of Monday, Aug
&C. when manhole cover fell ON his
foot. According TO the mayor, the man
did not resume work until Yesterday
morning. In extending his remarks the
mayor said he could prove that the in
jnred man, prior TO his injury, had slept
on the job. While the street committee
pondered over the informal report, the
council directed the clerk to delete from
the warrants the Sl5 which the depart
ment employe was to have been paid to-
day.
Orange listers, in making up their
quadrennial appraisal, have jumped the
assessment on the Orange reservoir prop.
erty, owned by the city of Barre, from
s2,250 to S40,250, according to a notice
received by the clerk and read by him at
the meeting The statement from the
listers fairly staggered the council and
an invasion of Orange is in prospect. In
deed, the city attorney, the mayor, the
clerk and the water committee were d-
rected to go TO Orange Saturday for the
purpose of meeting the listers. The
question was raised, while the listers
notice was under consideration, whether
towns have the right TO assess reservoirs
that may properly be classified as public
necessities, and if the Orange author
titles persist in maintaining the new ap-
praisal it is possible that test case will
be made. Upward of $3.50 is paid an
nually ON reservoir taxes. The officials
delegated by the council viii protest to
the Orange listers Saturday, as directed,
but in the meantime they are hoping
that there was an error in the figures
Practically no opposition developed to
the adoption of the resolution which APP
propriates $3.50 to the new Barre City
band to be used for public concerts, Al

council should cooperate with the fed
eral government in requiring autoists to
