A special meeting of the Montpelier
city council occurred again last even
ing when probably the most important
matter under consideration was looking
over the reports OF the several officers,
getting them ready for the printer; but
the thing that took the most time was
an effort OF Alderman Bowers to have
| the council back water on its action
Of recent date by resembling its vote
in connection with the request of the
Barre and Montpelier Traction and
Power company. He asked for an ex-
preston Of some of the members on
the matter at first, but not getting an
acceptable reply in the matter, offered
motion to rescind the action, which
was rejected by the council, five to one,
so that at the present time there are
three different attitudes on the matter,
Barre having one, Montpelier another,
and Berlin still pending. The matter
of proposed milk ordnance was left
until the revised ordinances were TAX
en- up. The matter of cleaning snow
away from hydrants was placed in the
supervision of the chief of the fire de-
partment.
