City's Budget or 1922 Was
Submit ~ Last
Ev eng

Following up = suggestion in he
mayors message and the general talk
in city government circles for some
time, the finance committee of the
Barre city government last night sub
mitted Recommendation for $500 to
s4 tax rate for 1922, the increase from
$3.50 having been found necessary be-
cause of very heavy charges, which
will have tp be met during the current
year.
Chief among those heavy charges il
the retirement of 100000 in water
bonds, maturing July l. 1922. which
could not be refunded because when
these bonds were issued in 1902 there
was no provision made for retiring
certain portion Of them each year as
required by law and because, too, no
ess.:..lSing fund was created to take care
Of them at maturity. Since the city
could not refund these bonds. ii was
found necessary TO retire them
Other items Of expense which will
necessitate a larger tax rate this year
ere the retirement of 5000 water
bonds Of the 1919 issue and the paw
ment Of note for 5000 in part pay
ment Of the South Main street paving.
Then, in addition, there is the in
creased state tax to 4a cents.
The finance committee anticipates.
moreover, that some additional paving
will be done this year sas it IS badly
needed, especially AROUND the common
and up Washington street." More wa
ter meters will be installed as the
meters have proved great economy
to the users of water rs well as con-
serving our supply, which is hardly
adequate to our present needs.
Taking all these things into consid
sration and allowing for other very
much needed improvements, the com
mittee expresses the belief that "a 81
tax rate win fully cover the expendi
lures for 1922
The committee mentions the fact
hat $4,000 water bonds maturing In
1921 were retired and that an annual
payment of $4,000 on water bonds OF
,he 1919 Issue was made, together with
4 900 on South Main street paving
lotes.
The financial budget for the year
922 was made up as follows:

CHILDREN AND ILLNESS

Children, Ike babies, have a low
resistance to disease Moreover, they
react quickly both to favorable and
to unfavorable surroundings. Hence,
slight causes sometimes produce
pronounced or even violent symp-
toms in children without giving cause
for great anxiety, although the
same symptoms, if exhibited by
adults might indicate critical ILL
ness. On the other hand, the re-

Cooperative power of children is
high, and their recoveries are some
times surprising rapid. 1t is
mistake when a child has completely
recovered from an acute but brief
illness to coddle him for weeks after
wards merely because a grown per-
son in similar circumstances would
have failed to regain his strength.
When a child is sick in bed, espec-
ial efforts should be made to insure
adequate ventilation without chilling
him. Children always lost heat rap
idly because the body surface is
proportionately large; when they are
i'll, therefore, it is especially neces-
sary to keep them well covered, to
see that their hands and feet are
warm and to avoid chilling them
during their baths. But overheating
must also be avoided, since all chill,
dren. sick or well. who are too
warmly dressed or who stay in
rooms that are too warm become
weak and irritable and more sus,
ceptible than others to colds and
other respiratory disorders. The

dry, but he should not be disturbed
nor handled unnecessarily.
Sick children require very simple
food at short intervals. Variety is
not so necessary for a child as for
an adult unless the child has been
allowed to form bad habits of eating
Sick children should not be INDUCED
unnecessarily either in regard to
their food or in other ways. How
ever, attempts made during illness
to change the habits of badly trained
children are unwise because usually
unsuccessful; parents who sow the
wind by neglecting to train children
when they are in good health may
as we'll make up their minds to reap
veritable whirlwind when the chill
dren are i'll. Even when children arc
we'll rtained it is difficult, and some
times impossible to prevent them
from forming bad habits during
sickness. Yet the labor of training

the people is the surest way
of bringing the hotels. They

stance, this day might be
called Potomac Day." and
dedicated to our neighbors
from that territory. One of
the boat-lines has offered to
put sleeping accommoda,,
tions on the boat for several
hundred people, give them
supper and breakfast if they
choose, land them here at
t five o'clock in the morning,
, allow them to come aboard as
: late as twelve, midnight, the
: same day, and return them
: to their homes along the
7 river the next day. This
: would give the eXcursionistS
= from, say, seven in the
7 morning till midnight for
shopping and pleasure. The
Movie Theatres would like
wise offer special attractions
so that the trip, all in all
i. might become a most delight
; full memory, and repeated as
! often as the occasion war
ranted.
There is nothing in the
plan herein outlined that
|
. would present any great off,
) ficulty, and we believe it not
only practicable but worthy
of some effort on the part
of our citizens.
Let us hope, therefore
that our Great White Way
will soon be an accomplished
fact, and make it but the pre-:
cursor of still other anc
;, greater projects along the
same lines.
