Action by the voters OF the town of
Springfield in deciding to adopt the
town manager system is the first of
that nature in Vermont, we believe,
and the result will furnish an interest.

other towns which may be contemplat-

midst of a boom in business and in
population las evidenced by the action
of the voters in town meeting in decid-

problems which confront the town are,
no doubt, unusually complex. Whether
one man will be able to solve those
problems better than a collection of
men is the point at issue. Theoreti-
cally, the town manager system has
much to be said in its favor 1t re-

1t was with considerable feeling of
relief that people of Barre watched the
checking of the fire which broke out in
the Park theatre early Sunday morn
ing, for they had realized that if the
fire should get beyond the fire wall into
the livery stable, in close proximity,
there might be no checking of the
progress of the flames until want of
material for destruction should end the
eonfagration. The flames were being
driven by a high wind directly into the
most thickIy built up section of wooden
buildings and were threatening to lick
up the first of those buildings at any
moment The fremen, however, made
good stop and prevented the flames
from communicating to what would
have been a mere tinder.box. In this
work the firemen were helped by the
presence of good fire wall and by the
accumulation of snow on the roofs of
the buildings. The experience in this
fire proves again that the salvation of
property lies partly in thick fire wall.
No building in the business section
should hereafter be built unless with
these walls on the sides where other
buildings may be constructed

Are We Slower Than Burlington and
Mortified?

Why doesn't Barre get up a little
enthusiasm over winter sports like Bur
lington and Mortified, for instance :
Mortified has the matter down TO a
science and community snowshoe hikes
are quite the thing there every winter.
Different persons have charge Of the
hikes on different nights, choosing the
direction and seeing TO il that the trail
is in good shape, and then everybody
who can walk at all on snowshoes or
skis goes for the evening and has a
wonderful time. Coffee is served some
where ON the hike, preparation for
which has been made by the leaders,
those going on the hike carry their
lunches, drinking cup and nickel to
pay for the coffee and have nothing
further to think of except the fun of
being out of doors. There is no real
organization for participation in these
hikes, no dues, but when a hike is on,
everybody is there.
Burlington, too, has frequent hikes,
conducted in the same manner, and en-
thusiasm does not lag there any more
than in Mortified II is nothing out
of the ordinary there to have 40 or
more participants in these hikes.
There are plenty of people in Barre
who enjoy snowshoe and ski trips and
indulge in them as they can in small

Big Drop in Meat Prices!

Editor, Barre Times: Some few days
ago letter appeared in The Times, |
believe from an East Barre meat deal
er, calling attention to the fact that
the boot and shoe dealers were the
storekeepers who were profteering by
the extremely high prices prevailing at
the present time, and he based his
statement on the price being paid for
raw furs. He further stated that there
were no big profits being made in the
handling of meats. The writer was in
terested in comparing two ads. from
Fridays daily papers, one from Bos
ton daily and the other one of our
leading provision dealers ad. in The
Daily Times.

Vermont since the memorable blizzard
of 1888, and before the situation is re-
turned to normal the blizzard of March
IL, 1888, may have been surpassed in
some particulars. 1t is possible that
more snow fell in 1888 than on March
6, 1920; but the pressure of the gale

force to make up for the deficiency of

either of which condition defied traffic
as it has not been defied since 1888.
The Barre & Montpelier Traction &
Power company was not operating as
far back as 1888, but its history dates
from 1898; and in that intervening
time there never was an occasion when
trolley service was suspended three
days on account of snow and ice and
other things incident to the weather.
The Central Vermont Railway com
pany has been running trains into and
out of Barre since the middle 70s of
the last century and in that time it
has rarely, if ever, been confronted by
such problems of blockade as in the
last three days. Times have been rare,
indeed. when the milkman could not
find his way into Barre at some period
during the day for the delivery of milk.
1t is unusual, too, when persons have
to resort to snowshoes and skis in or
der to reach the business district from
their homes. Hardly in the memory of
the present generations have such vast
of snow been piled up
beside the sidewalks following the eff
forts at shoveling out as they have
been piled up since the recent blizzard.

After three weeks suspension be-
cause of its lack of white paper. the
Swanton Courier reappeared on March

hope he will be able to get enough to-
