Canadian Lines Saved Grand Trunk
from a Deficit.

Ottawa. Ont. April Detailed
statistics presented to members of the
House yesterday show that operations
on the Canadian lines of the Grand
Trunk system last year saved the
whole system from an operating def
ieit. The Western and New England
lines and the Central Vermont all had
operation deficits.
On the western lines the operation
deficit was SAT- .a25.ll, on the New
England lines, 1851 10000. and on the
Central Vermont. sl76. .s06.42. But on
the Canadian lines there was an oper-
alton surplus Of S5.67s, ,73a47. When
from this surplus the deficits on the
western lines. the New England lines
and the Central Vermont are deducted.
there is left an operating surplus for
the whole Grand Trunk system of S4.-
372 2,5l7. an increase Of S23,4l2 over tie
surplus for 1920.
The New England lines Of the Grand
Trunk have an operation mileage Of
l72 and extend from Portland. Me-,
to Norton Mills, Vt: the Canadian
lines have a mileage of 1872; the west
prn lines have an operating mileage Of

dered by unnamed ships would be

OF the rivers in northern Vermont are
believed to have reached the peak in

which were flooded at several points
along the line in the vicinity of Rut-

BARRE CONSIDERING
NEW STONE CRUSHER
Facts and Claims Were Presented at
Special Meeting Of City Conn-
Gil Last Night.

The purchasing of new stone crush
er was the main topic under discussion
at special meeting Of the city coun
Gil last evening. The crusher IN use al
present is in very bad shape and is in
no condition to be operated. The com.
pany selling the criisher refuses to
make the repairs, which are thought
by local authorities to be the fault Of
the makers, and so the question came
up as to whether the city should buy
crusher to retail crushed stone or not.
Two propositions have been talked
over, one of which is from the same
company which made the old crusher
and which claims much h-improved de-
sign. A third representative came in
dnring the meeting last evening and
made his proposition for trade this
morning. The representatives were
each granted ten minutes last evening
in which list Of references and brief
explanation Of the weight and capacity
Of their portable crushers were given.
The companies were the New England
Road Machine company, the Acme COM
panv and the Good Roads Machine
company.
The council decided. however, not to
purchase a cr,isher before the next
meeting of the council in order that de-
tails and references on the crushers
might be looked up.
A resolution relating to department
appropriations was accepted.
The finance committee decided def
nitely to 20 H all bills at the regular
council meetings hereafter in order that
they might be paid sooner and discount
for cash saved.
A permit was granted Lane-Davis
TO build a small cabinet for
the housing OF their oil barrels.
Relative to the request Of Leonard
McIver of South Main street for per-
NIT to build henhouse on South Main
street near the oKo toy shop, Mr., Me
Iver has stopped building operations
hN the order of the council for it was
found that the rafters OF the building
would be too light TO support the
weight Of load OF snow and that the
which was fairly large, would
Do too near other old buildings in the |
ficinity. With heavier rafters and fire.
proof walls and slight change in the |
ocality OF the building, the permit |
would be granted.
The question Of road oiling attach |
nent and permanent street fund was
,rought up but was not discussed to
my length and no action was taken.
