patched il up but this year the voters
gave the council sufficient money TO re-
pair the place. II was estimated by
the city engineer that it would cost
Sl2 900, but a contractor has offered TO
do the Job for $4,000 and from the in
speetion that was made Saturday aft
crnoon ii is believed that even more
than the original contract can be done
with that money. Work on the road
| commenced to-day and will be pushed
along in hopes of having IT completed
before the heavy automobile traffic IS
under way The council, later in the
afternoon, held special meeting when
the license COMMITTEES reported that
there is no provision for licensing a
bootblack stand on the streets in the
city but that there is a penalty for
person placing an obstruction on the
sidewalk and. therefore, the bootblack
stand that has caused so much disturb
ance among the prominent people OF
the city is on the sidewalk without
authority. The matter was left to
special meeting that will take place
this evening. II. T. Johnson and resi-
dents of Marvin street appeared before

stock is pretty well shown by the
changes that have taken place on the
Central Vermont railway since the
roundhouse was built at Montpelier
Junction When this was installed the
man in charge wanted to build it larger
but that was not done and now the
house is not wide enough so that one
OF the big engines can be run into the
house enough so the doors can be shut
behind it. There is talk that a restau-
rant will be constructed south of the
station for the accommodation of the
railway men who "tie mp" there, as
well as for the patrons OF the road. 1t
il not unusual that trains stop long
enough at the station so persons have
time To get light meal il there was
a quick lunch counter; and it is under

to start one.
Railroad men in this section are
specializing To a considerable extent
upon whether the trains will run an
hour earlier beginning week hence as
result Of the new Massachusetts laws

have them leave Boston an hour earlier
and unless they run an hour earlier
through New Hampshire and Vermont
they will have TO wait somewhere
along the line, it Is claimed BY railroad
