TO BUILD PLANT
To Take Care Of Milk Col
Letting and Cooling Busi-
ness in Barre
WILL BE LOCATED
OFF BERLIN STREET
Construction Is Planned to
Permit of Expansion
of Business

H. p Hood & Sons. who have been
collecting milk around Barre for a time,
propose to establish milk collecting and
cooling station in the north end of the
city in order to accommodate the already
large business and to increase their ca
pacity for handling more milk They
propose to erect plant near the Central
Vermont railroad track at the corner of
Berlin and Railroad streets, on land
owned by the Central Vermont railroad,
the main building to be 90 by 30 feet, of
two stories, and another building so by
30 OF one story, both structures to be Of
wood and to be covered with slate or
iron. The floors will be of cement.
Through Building Inspector Slayton,
Hood & Sons approached the Barre board
of aldermen last night to see il the site
would be acceptable TO the city, and
they received the assurance that the To-
cation is satisfactory. The building will
be at least 20 feet back from Berlin
street perhaps more, in ordSr TO accom-
modate the many farmers who bring
their milk to this city. II is said that
more than hundred farmers are already
shipping their milk from this station;
and Depot square, where they have un-
loaded up to this time, has been consid-
erably congested with the traffic. As
many as $4,000 quarts of milk are daily
collected here.
The cooling station will be constructed
in order to permit of slight delay in ship
ment of milk from Barre in case Of
emergency. A sidetrsck of the Central
Vermont railroad will be built to ac-
commodate the company. II is probable
that the construction will start Just as
soon as the plans can be drawn up.
Building Inspector Slayton reported a
total of 81 minor building permits grant
ed during May The request OF Mario
Zampiri TO move henhouse from the
corner of North Main and Third streets
was granted
The fire and street committees recon-
mended that Z. II. Slayton be given a
permit to sink a gasoline tank and erect
pump in front of the Morse block on
North Main street and the aldermen
authorized the work. H. G.. Bennett was
given permission to sink second tank
in front of the garage on Jefferson
street, the tank to be on the opposite
side Of the garage driveway from the
first tank and to be surmounted by a
pump.

The matter of taking out the assessors

New Auto Parking Arrangement.
A proposal to park automobiles about
the City park rather than on North Main
street was accepted, the idea being to
have the motorists drive their cars, espe.
cially on Saturday afternoons and even
ings, at an angle toward the park on
three streets, North Main, Washington
and Church, thereby permitting the park
ing of all the cars which are now left
along the eurbs ON North Main street.

cars about the City park without lights

ficiently lighted to make lighting of the
