to Exceed $4,000 Was Authorized
at Last Evenings Meeting.
Added fire protection for the Goddard
seminary buildings was ordered by the
Barre city council in regular weekly SEES
sion last night, the chief of the fire de-
partment and the superintendent of the
water department having reported the
present equipment entirely inadequate"
considering the large number oflives that
might be endangered and the large prop
erty loss that might be incurred.
These officials made the following rec
concentrations: a. that the present dead
end of the four inch main be extended
to Plain street with six-inch main to
complete the circuit; t2) that an eight
inch main be carried onto the seminary
property and two additional hydrants be
installed, one in front of the main build
ing and one in the rear between the main
building and the Thompson Memorial
building; 90 that provision be made TO
connecticut said eight-inch main with
the Merchant street line in the future if
necessity arises; az that the seminary
authorities be requested to install at
least one three.inch interior fire line
with proper appurtenanees that would
be easily accessible from all parts of
each floor of the main building
The estimated cost to the city Of these
improvements was fixed at 1900, of
which amount the city already has on
hand in the form of materials, etc, ST.,
075. The council accepted the report and
ordered the recommendations carried out
at once.
The building inspector recommended
that permit be given Angelo Scampini
TO erect barn and open shed on Berlin
street and that permits for portable ga
RACES be given to Mrs. Mary Cook at III
First street and Antonio Fasola at %
Berlin street. The inspector also report
ed favorably on an outline sketch of the
proposed new buildings to be erected at
the corner of Berlin and Railroad streets
by II. P. Hood & Sons for a milk receiv
ing station Local Manager Bixby of the
company appeared before the council and
said that construction will be started
just as soon as the blueprints are com
| pleted The building will come within
I two feet of Railroad street and will set
back 25 feet from Berlin street, while on
the eastern side the Central Vermont
railroad will run spur track for tax
! ing on the milk shipped to Boston In
its prospectus the company said it pro-
posed to build according to the require
ments of the boards of health in Boston
and New York.
A resolution to pledge the credit of
/ the city TO an amount not exceeding
/ -. ,f I0lQ aa
authorized by the voters in a recent city
meeting, was adopted. II is proposed to
borrow the money from the National
Life Insurance company of Montpelier.
| Twenty-nine arrests were reported by
| the chief of police for May, the cases
/ being divided as follows: Intoxication
/ 10, breach of the peace 2, larceny !, vio-
lation Of city ordinance |, murder 2,
| forgery /, adultery 2, keeping gambling
resort /. The report was accepted and
placed on file.
Cyrus Hall appeared before the coun-
ell and said he wanted the privilege of
sitting down in the City park and so he
wanted TO know why the full number
of benches had not been placed as usual.
| City Park Commissioner j. 4. Higgins,
who happened to be present on another
matter, was interrogated and he ex-
planned the reason, as he had stated in a
previous meeting, that the civic fedora
/ tion told the park commissioners not
/ to continue the work of placing the
| benches in the park. Mr.. Higgins also
explained that dicker last fall TO buy
/ the benches from the federation "fell
/ through because the park commission
/ ers felt the price asked was too high, and
| now the park commissioners would not
recommend expending money for the
! benches because of the fact that the
erection of the proposed soldiers and
sailors monument in the park will ne
eessitate complete changing about and
rearrangement of the park, so that at
| the present time il was not known how
many benches, if any, would be required.
NJ. Hall said he was satisfied with the
explanation.
| Later the property committee and the
park commissioners were instructed to
! take up consideration of the lease of the
city pasture off Merchant street for golf
club purposes.
