BARRE GRANITE EXHIBIT
Was Seen By Many People at Eastern
States Fair.

The everlasting product Of the Barre
quarries had the best boost in several
wears when the pieces which were tax
en- down to Springfield Mass, last
month and placed on exhibition IN the
Eastern States exhibition show were
inspected BY over 100000 people. This
number in itself is immense, and the
advertising value is even greater when
it IS taken into consideration that
these people not only came from all
parts of New England but from all
the states east of Chicago, and that
not only the tradespeople and the la
borers attended, but also the largest
Of the manufacturers and producers.
Barre was the only granite center
that was represented so she had the
whole field to herself The specimens
consisted Of tive monuments Of dark
granite. both Of which were polished; /;
the Vermont state seal in light gran
ite: a bunch OF lilies finely carved from
light stone. and two vases about 10 or
Is inches high. both Of dark granite
ana exquisitely polished and cut. The
monuments themselves were IN two
parts. thus making four exhibitions in
those pieces.
All this work was put out at the ex-
pense of the Granite Manufacturers
association Of Barre, and under their
direction The different pieces of art
were cut from standard stock and are
q fine example of what il is possible
for Barre workers 20 do in that line.
Work was performed during the sum
mer. Before opening Of the exhibition.
which lasted the week beginning with
Sept. rs. the manufacturers associa-
tion appointed G. + Millar Of Is Wash
ington street 10 take charge Of the ex-
hibition while in Springfield and during
that time he had his hands full.
The expressions Of delight and Won
der and appreciation Of the crowd who
made il a business 20 attend the fair
were numerous, and the Springfield
Republican remarked on the exquisite
beauty and the workmanship Of the
specimens. The Vermont seal. which
was a fine piece standing nearly four
feet high. was given special comment.
On the grounds the stones occupied
a position in the building which was
set aside for Vermont. In with them
were products Of the Vermont Ice
Cream Co. the Estey Organ Co. of
Rrattleboro. the Fairbanks Scale
works of St JohnSbury. the MoHtpel-
ier Clothes Pin Co. and the National
Acme Co. Of Windsor and several 9th

ST. ALBANs TOOK DISCOUNT
To Settle the Fonda Tax Case Long in
Litigation.

st. AIbans, Oct. LIT Ii understood
on good authority that the city Of st,
Albans settled its case with the heirs
of the w. b. Fonda estate for sum
much less than that awarded the city
bv the supreme court of Vermont in its
decision the early part Of this year.
The award Of the supreme court
amounted to approximately $4,000,
covering taxes for period of four
years. 1918. 1910, 1920 and 1921. II il
said that the city accepted $l7 500 to
settle the case.
This case has attracted a great deal
of attention in Vermont because Of the
principle which il involved and also be-
cause Of the prominence of those com
cerned in il. The case arose out Of diff
ticulties between the city Of St. Al
bans and the heirs of w. B. Fonda as
to payment Of taxes on the estate
w. b. Fonda died during the early
part of 1917, leaving an estate the val
ne OF which was not definitely known
at the time. Taxes on something like
$4,000 had been paid TO the city for
the estate and the same arrangement
UfIu lOI ANlfs DtiUif AfiC NAAtr AbA iNAE
came due, however, there had been a
decree OF distribution to the heirs re-
vealing the fact that the estate
amounted to something like three
quarters of million dollars.
But when the city attempted TO col
lect taxes on this amount, the heirs
made the claim that ii was no longer
sfaxahla in the CITY pf ST Albang as IL
had been transferred to the Old Colony
Trust Co. Of Boston as a trust fund, Of
which the heirs were to receive the in
terest.
Litigation followed and the city got
a verdict in the Franklin county court.
II then went TO the supreme court Of
Vermont and was argued in October,
1920, and decision for the city rem
dered in January. 1921. 1t was under
stood that the case would be taken 10
the United States supreme court, but it
never got that far.
