GODDARD SEMINARY
GETS $1,000 GIFT
Richard Billings of Woodstock and New
York City Was the Donor
Money to Be Added to
Endowment Fund.

| Announcement was made to-day of
the gift Of 81 900 in cash by Richard
Billings of Woodstock, this state, and
New York City, to Goddard seminary,
the money to be placed in the schools
endowment fund, the income OF which
is used by the Trustees in running the
school. With this addition the schools
endowment fund now amounts to Sl6l,-
60S,39, as stated to-day by the schools
business agent, Harvey L, Averill.
Action in relation to acceptance of
the gift was taken at a regular meet
ing of the executive committee of the
trustees last night, when great pleasure
over the gift was evinced, and letter
Of appreciation was ordered to be sent
to the donor. In these days of mount
ing costs, the trustees are feeling the
need of further financial support quite
keenly, so the unexpected contribution
from Mr.. Billings was a matter for
great satisfaction.
Mr.. Billings has no connection with
Goddard seminary except through the
UnlYersalist church, of which he is
prominent member both in Woodstock
and in New York City; but there is
an indirect association in that he is re-
lated by marriage to the Lee family,
the head of which more than half
century ago was founder Of the old
Green Mountain Liberal institute at
South Woodstock. Univcrsaiist
school, where William r. Shipman once
taught and where he gained the idea
of starting new Universalist school,
location for which was eventually
picked for Barre 80 years ago. Mr..
Shipman later Prof. Shipman Of Tufts
college, was one Of the foremost work
ers for Goddard seminary and was the
first president Of the trustees.
Rev. George r Fortier. the present
secretary and superintendent OF the
denomination in Vermont
and the province of Quebec, is closely
associated with Mr. Billings in demon
national work, and it was largely due
tn conversation between the two men
regarding Goddard seminary that the
gift was offered by MIR Billings. The
latter spends his summers in Wood
stock where le is stakeholder in the |
Woodstock inn. the Woodstock railroad |
md the Woodstock National bank. He |
d also director Of the New York, |
New Haven 4 Hartford railroad.

Hale urged passage of bill author

$50 with an additional grant of 500 to

favored passage of the Morgan bill,

so. MAIN ST. BRIDGE
PROJECT RESTARTED
Mr.. Storrs Engaged and
Bids Will Be Asked
For Again

The new city government in Barre
got into working order at meetings OF
the city council and board of aldermen
at the city council chamber this FORE
noon, at which time aldernanic com
mlttees were appointed, move was
made to take up the South Main street
bridge matter, in conformity with u
vote OF the citizens, and Mayor Langley
presented an earnest plea for economy
in city expenditures, stating that two
tifths of the anticipated income from
taxes for general city purposes had
already been expended during only one
sixth of the municipal year.
All the members were present at the
two meetings. The city council was
first called to order, and after the
usual formalities Alderman Loranger
moved to adopt the same rules as last
year. Bonds of the various city Off
cials were fixed on motion of Alder
man Scott. A resolution was adopted,
giving jurisdiction of the state to the
first and second constabes.
At this point Mayor Langley made a
statement Of financial conditions, in
which he said:
With three members of this council
new TO the board deem ii proper at
this time to call attention to one prob
lem that confronts us this year Tho
finance committee OF the retiring city
government estimated - tax would
be needed to meet all the demands on
the city this year. This estimate was
none too high on the basis OF present
expenditures, and if we are to keep
within those figures the utmost econ
omy must be praoticed throughout the
balance Of the year. hope each com
mittee of this board will 90 thoroughly
into matters that come under their iur-
isdletion TO see where a saving can be
made
",rhe following items in the city's tax
budget are fixed by the state, county
or by vote of the taxpayers and are
not subject TO any change by this
board. Neither is the expenditure OF
any of these items, excepting the city
highway tax, within our control. These
items are.
