Dor and public groups in the committed

Mr. Chadbourne proposed that the re
port of the central committee be read al

RETAIL PRICE OF MILK
WILL BE IS CENTS
Barre Dealers Will Make But One Deliv-
cry Day in Winter and Not Be-
fore A. M.

Milk will be delivered to the con-
sumer in Barre at Is cents the quart be-
ginning Oct l6 and continuing until
conditions warrant a change in price.
This was decided by the dealers in a
meeting held in the offices Of the ID. a.
Perry Real Estate agency last evening,
when other points of interest to the
milkmen were freely discussed. This
follows the announcement of the raise
asked for by the producer of l1a cents
a quart, or l0h cents. The new prices
which will prevail are: Full can at
wholesale, Sl.2O; five quarts, or part OF
can, IA cents quart; single quart, 10
cents; pint, cents. Cream will retail
at $ll4 a quart or go cents a pint.
The dealers, as well as producers, feel
that the advance in the price of milk is
justified and that the public will realize
that they are not attempting to charge
exorbitant prices. For some time past
milk has been selling in many OF the
cities and towns in the state at 10 cents
quart and with the care that is being
exercised in the handling of milk as to
cleanliness it is felt that benefits will be
derived on both sides.
Under new rulings a government IN
spector at intervals disinfects dairy sta
bles and carts and gives the same a
thorough cleaning If at times the milk
Is found TO be of an offensive taste the
cause may be laid to this. The odos
from the disinfectant impregnates the
stable to such an extent that twill re-
main for several days and the milk left
for only a short time will absorb the
odor slightly There is nothing to harm
one in this and it is for the health of
the consumer that this is being done, so
don't be too harsh with your milkman
when your milk tastes peculiar.
Another matter which was agreed
upon last evening has to do with the
time Of delivering milk during the win
ter months. Beginning Nov. J no milk
man will be due to arrive in the city tc
start delivery until Z o'clock and there
| will be but one delivery a day. Consid
erable of an unnecessary hardship is put
upon the millman who rises before day
| light and plows through the drifting
snow when the mercury is down IN tht
| SOS in order to have bottle of milk
placed on the piazza to freeze and break
before it is claimed by some householder
After the public becomes accustomed Z
| this new move the dealer feels 1t vii
accept ii with good grace as satisfactory
| Producer and dealer alike are co-operat
ing with the authorities in giving valu'
received and expect to receive the sam'
treatment.

he still had ihopes that "the serious
thinking men in the organization will

trying to repudiate their word given to
the government and to the people and
that they will yet abide by the decision

with fright,
The man jumped to his feet, retraced
his steps down the front stairs with
bounds and leaps and escaped out the

move to prevent him, This gave evil
dence that he had taken all precautlon
for quick getaway in case of detection
He did not stop to close the front door
nor prevent the screen door from max
ing loud slam, which spread further
alarm. An investigation was made by
the police, who were summoned by teie-
