night when Gee css Ball was appoint
ed and eonfi.<S as overseer of the
poor and the position OF social worker
was ordered to be untitled. During the
past year, the two positions have been
held by Miss Louise NJ. Gridley of
Montpelier At the same meeting DIR. X.
f. Avery was named as city physician
in place of Dr. J A. Wark, whose res
innation was read last night and ac-
cepted. William Wishart was again
named as city attorney and also as
city grand Juror. Stephen Rizzi was ap-
pointed and confirmed as cemetery com
missioner. In each case the appoint
ment was confirmed unanimously ex-
cept as TO Mr.. Wishart. the vote in each
of the two offices TO which he was ar
pointed standing three yes and two no.
The action is dispensing with the
serriees of social worker was taken
after some discussion and following the
receipt of information from other cities
and towns in Vermont to the effect
that the work which might devolye
upon a social worker was being done
by the Red Cross nurse. A Red Cross
nurse was recently appointed in Barre,
and it was felt by the aldermen that il
would be largely a duplication OF work
TO continue the social worker, although
II i probable that the services OF Miss
| Edith A. Reid, who has acted as as
sistant to Miss Gridley, will be contin-
ued for time at least The vote in
structing the charity committee TO dis
pense with the services of the social
worker was unanimous.

the poor, is a resident of l05 Hill street
