| The Barre q of aldermen refused
last night csS ant the request of the
Montpeli, s. sarre Light : Power Co.
to replace 8 poles on Main street,
between Blackwell and Prospect
streets, inside the curbing, instead of
in the curbing and flush with the edge
of the roadway. This action was taken
after unfayorable reports by the street
and lighting committees, to whom the
request was referred last week.
In making an unfavorabie report,
those committees declared that the
sidewalks are already narrow and that
the proposed change would take of
from six to II inches of the present
unobstructed passageway, and that the
city does not care to have the side
walks dug up at this time.
Following up the written report, 1t
was stated by the aldermen that
the city's contract runs out next
year with the Montpelier and
Barre Light and Power Co. and
that there was some question what
the city would do about lighting its
streets. Intimstion was made that the
city might eventually utilize some of
its water rights to manufacture cleo
tricity for lighting the streets; and
along with that was the suggestion
that the granite manufacturers might
manufacture their own power and sell
electricity to the city for street light
ing. In view of the rather uncertain
condition, the aldermen did not seem
disposed to take any action which
might obstruct the sidewalks at this
time.
Those who have jolted and jounced
over the unimproved street from the
south side of the new granite bridge
on South Main street to the end of the
granite pavement to the north will
take pleasure, along with others, in the
adoption last night of resolution call
ing for the laying of a cement pave
ment on the unfinished strip, including
the surface of the bridge. It is proposed
to go about the work just as soon as
the preliminary arrangements can be
made
The matter of taking the school CEN
range for. The census has to be taken
