AND MORE POWDER
City Council Will Give Barre Streets
Another Application of the
Dust Layers.

Barre's police record for the month
OF May, as presented to the city coun.
Gil last night, showed total Of seven
arrests, of which three were for intoxi4
cation, two for selling liquor. and one
each for keeping liquor and for breach
OF the peace. The report was accepted
BY comparison with May last year,
Barre was more than twice ais wicked
as there were only three arrests that
month in 1921.
Street matters occupied considerable
attention Of the council last night BY
general consent, the "talcum powder
put on the side streets was satisfac-
tory; yet il was felt necessary to make
another purchase Of oil to use on some
Of the macadam streets. So it was de.
cided to purchase another carload Of
5000 gallons Of oil and to secure an
other consignment of stalcum powder
The washing down of the Main street
pavement once week was also cen
sidered a desirable thing, with sprin-
king in between times.
