The regular city council meeting took
place Wednesday evening. The first part
of the meeting was held without lights.
Later repairs were made so that lights
were available. The council voted to re-
scind all votes it has made to repair
sidewalks, because the two recent rains
have done great deal of damage to the
streets and the street committee was au-
thorized to build culyert on Clay hill
that win cost $l,400. Harry Bianchi APP
peared. He criticised the council be-
cause they allowed his firm to clean the
sewer CRATES on the street near his stone
shed, stating that with each rain the
water goes into the cellars of houses
near the stoneshed and that water has
done his firm $500 damage. He said the
promise that the council made to repair
Hill street has not been kept, and he
told the council they are allowing Clark
Roberts to bluff them about the work he
is doing, After he left, the matter was
dropped without action. The claim of

H. L. Landrie Of Washington, d. C.,
representing the federal trade board, win
spend few days in Vermont. He arrived
Wednesday and spent portion of the
day in the fuel Office, To-day he went
to Burlington to see some Of the dealers
there Mr. Landrie will make study OF
conditions in the state. The fuel admin
istration has come to realize that each
state has its problems snd that they do
not agree with those of any sister state.
Mr.. Landrie comes to Vermont at the
invitation of II. j. NJ Jones, the fuel
administrator, and will study our prob
lens, which will substantiate Mr.. Jones
claim at Washington that the basis upon
which Vermont has received her allot-
ment of coal is not just one. In some
towns the demand for coal is a great
deal larger than in 1919, which has been
taken as the basis Of supply. For in
stance, Springfield has almost doubled its
population since that time, because Of
war work.
Gov. H. F. Graham this morning re-

gone into service A canvass of the To-
cal board files will be made for il is an
excellent opportunity for men who can
