plans of street improvement when or
Tuesday afternoon, without discussion
the voters in the annual city meeting
voted to bond the city for $4,000 foi
street improvement ii being planned
to continue the work on State or Ber.
| lin and Barre streets, making $l25,000
that the city has bonded for in two
years. The voters, upon motion of r.
Fl. Deayitt, voted a tax Of S3.05 on each
dollar of the grand list, the same as
last year. The latter provided for a
school tax of ST of the grand list,
which was more than the school board
asked for, Mr.. Deavitt recommending
it in order that the school nurse might
be paid from that money because it is
hard for the Red Cross to raise money
now.
II. W. Kemp offered resolution
which provided for bonding. He was
supported by Mr.. Deavitt and Mayor
Lille, who explained the work which it
is proposed to do. The matter of what
viii be put into permanent streets is
left to the new council which will meet
this evening The matter of $1,000 for
Heaton hospital, to help in care for the
poor Of the city, was appropriated, but
the appropriation for the district
nurse, upon motion of w. N. Theriault,
was reduced from 81 500 to $1,000, it
being claimed that the additional sum
is not needed this year, money having
been left over from last years appro-
priation. The $500 which Governor
Hartness gave the Woman's club for
an automobile for the district nurses
use is still in the bank it seeming in
advisable to buy a machine< at this
time. The usual appropriation of $3.50
for the Memorial day program was au-
thorized. The voters authorized the
city council to spend 81 900 under sec
tion 459l of the general laws for high
way purposes. This is the usual sum
voted Ten cents on tie dollar of the
money collected on taxes will be placed
in the sinking fund to meet bonded in
debtedness while the voters, upon mo-
tion of 4. III. Deavitt, voted to take |
the S4,S35, which is in the treasury to
the credit Of the county tuberculosis
hospital, out of that fund and place it |
in the sinking fund the law upon which |
it had been set aside having been |
changed so IL has not been used for the |
county hospital. In addition to that,
1852, which was in the Tabor cross
ing fund, was placed in the sinking |
fund. The voters appropriated five and
,ne-half cents on dollar of the grand
ist for the county tax to include the
hospital support.
The voters were agreeable TO the city
council making contract with the Ma
.ional Life Athletic association so that
he association will be exempt from
axation but the high school will have
rec use of the Langdon meadow for
ports. The granite plant of the
eureka Granite company was exempt
d from taxation for a period of ten
ears.
The oratory occurred when J. G.
Brown moved that the council be in
tructed TO repair or build new
ridge on Mechanic street. Ex-Mayor
ihurtlef opposed the project while DIR.
;. L. Templeton and +. +. Gleason fa-
ored it. 1t was carried by substan-
ial majority. Some effort at amend
tent was made. The cost of the. work
unknown.
The usual resolution providing for I
arTying the children to the Parochial
.hool was adopted. f. II. Deavitt
rought up the matter of the action
yainst the National Surety company r
1plaining that, by his resolution, the b
after would be left in the hands of '
le city council TO discontinue the case c.
it wanted TO. He set forth that by o
le provisions of his resolution the cl
action company might pay a portion fl
the debt, which developed out of
rect improvement on Main and State 81
reefs, each year. The voters did not a
,rec with Mr.. Deavitt's idea. Mayor b.
llie. Alderman Carpenter and others 7
plained the matter. The voters au. NJ
orized the council to appropriate 81
o for furtherance of the work on in
king the records in the city clerks
Zee. r
