r. S. Currier, county district supervis-
or of highways, met members Of the
Montpelier city council Saturday evening
relative to laying piece of cement road
in the city. He urged that something of
this nature should be Started, that the
streets are not being kept up as they
in piece of cement road on Main street
from the bank corner TO the walk in
front OF Shipman,s store. This would
cost between 81 200 and 81 800, it is esti-
mated, but he left the matter with the
council to decide and suggested if it did
not put in cement there, il could put it
in on lower State street near the Green
Mount cemetery. He suggested getting
close figures on each place, there being
possibility that there is not enough
money to do any kind of job on lower
State street. He approved the councils
decision to resurfaee River street and
the lower end of State street, bginning
near the end of the car line and working
towards the State House.

and that she was engaged 20 Charles
Sanborn, while Sanborn told the officers
they were only going to White River
Junction and were to be back the first of
the week. Miss Howe was very stubborn
against going back to Stowe with her
parents. Miss Spaulding took a more
philosophical view of the matter and was
ready TO 90 back after the officers had
talked with her little, while MIR. and
Mrs. Howe called at the county jail.
Sheriff Tracy was at his farm, so Deputy
A. A. Emery was called, but he saw the
night policeman on the street, who went
to the police statiNn where the affair

after a great deal of argument, Miss
Howe agreed to 90 home with her par.
ents and, in company with Miss Spauld-
ing they went home The Sanborns went
to Waterbury by train Charles San
