The suit brought by Assessors Martin
Riley and A. NJ. Rossi against the city o
Barre for wages for the last eight day
of October was not tried in Barre cit,
court to-day, the date set for the trial
and it is probable that the difference
win be settled up outside of court Act
ing on the authority of the city council
City Treasurer Mackay made tender o
the sums mentioned as wages for tn
eight days, but Attorney J. Ward Carver
acting for the two assessors, demurre'
to acceptance until the city court costs
amounting to 500 in each instance, ac
companied the tender, it being stated b,
him that his clients demanded the costs
City Treasurer Mackay was not author
lied to pay the costs in the cases becaus
the warrants drawn by the city council
covered only the wages; so it is likel,
that the matter will come before the al
dermen at the meeting tomorrow even
ing to see whether the board will max
out the warrants for the added amounts
In that case the cases viii probably b
wiped off the court docket.
