ASK CITY TO PAY $500 ON
BRIDGE N BARRE TOWN
Matter Was Referred BY the Aldermen
to the City Attorney-@Three Build
ing Permits Granted Last
Night.

A proposition advanced by County
Supervisor of Highways r. S. Currier
that the city Of Barre pay $500 toward
the cost of constructing a small bridge in
Barre Town or lower city water pipe
which runs under the present culyert
there was referred by the board of alder
men last night to the water committee
and city engineer with power to act.
The place in question is on the Williams
town road ana just south of the Smith
stock farm, where the state proposes to
rebMld the highway, raising the grade
and constructing small bridge instead
of culvert, the old culvert having been
considered inadequate to carry off the
water.
Mr. Currier stated that the work was
going TO be done and that it was a
choice for the city to say whether it
should sink its water main to permit of
a three and one-half or four foot bridge
or let the water pipe remain as it is and
the road be raised. Mr. Currier stated
that the city's water pipe would be pro-
tected, asserting that it would be COW
cred with cement. After calling in City
Attorney Sargent, the aldermen referred
the proposition as above stated.
Building permits were granted to II.
r. Hood & Son to construct a milk cool
ing and collecting station at the corner
of Berlin and Railroad streets, the nature
of the construction having already been
explained; to Marr & Gordon to build
an Office building near its plant off Will
ley street, the building to contain five
rooms on the first floor and one on the
second; to the D. NJ. Miles Coal company
TO repair its coal shed off Smith street,

The license committee reported adversely
on Charles Zanleoni's application for an
innkeeper's license in his present build
ing at the corner of North Main and
Merchant streets on the ground that the
building is inadequate for an inn. A
verbal statement was made that an inn
keepers license application for the pro-
posed building of Mr. Zanleoni would
have q different consideration at the
hands of the committee, the proposed
building being an additional story on
the present structure. The formal report
was accepted.
