He Has Already Arrived in
Barre to Take Up the
Dual Position

perIntendent was chosen for Barre last
night IN the person of Sydney +. Rug
gles, Z. H., an instructor in the ThayeI
School OF Civil Engineering of Dart,
mouth college, to succeed Frank 0. Lee,
who has been holding over until his
successor was appointed. Mr.. Lee, who
mas been an efficient man in the dual
position, has gone into the contracting
business under the firm name of G. r
Gregoire x Co, with office in the AID
rich building, Barre
Mr.. Ruggles, the new appointee who
was unanimously confirmed by the al
dermen last night, is q graduate Of
Dartmouth college in the class of 1905
and, as already inferred, he resigns
faculty position in order to come ia
Barre. He is already in town and ex,
poets to take over the duties of the
two Offices tonight, or as soon as the
auditors finish with Mr. Lees books.
During the past day or two Mr.. Lee
has been showing the new superintend.
ent and engineer about as much as pos,
sible, getting acquainted with the
| work
| Besides laying down the dual Office.
Mr.. Lee last night resigned as a call
man of the fire department, and the
| resignation was accepted
| II is probable that one Of the first
duties of the new engineer will be in
connection with the temporary bridge
the city is to build over Jail branch
while the stone arch bridge is being
constructed on South Main street. The
council, with President Scott OF tha
aldermen presiding, voted last night ia
put in a l2foot wooden stringer bridge
10 take care of foot traffic and emer.
gency yehicular traffic, the main We.
hicle traffic to be diverted by way oil
Ayers street, and the temporary bridge
to be posted to be used only in case oi
emergency. 1t was estimated that
such bridge would cost about $500
and that the grading would cost $40
A bond submitted by the New Hamp-
shire Cement & Construction Co, the
contractor for the stone arch bridge,
was read to the council and was sub.
jected TO some criticism, after which ii
was referred to the city attorney. Tho
bond is for $4,000 and is taken out in
the Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co,
As the city expects to need more
water piping in connection with the
new bridge and as there is need for
piping of various sizes on hand, the
water committee and water supern-
tendent We're instructed to get prices
on a carload of such material.
