Barre Granite Bid Emerges in Riverbed Dispute Meeting
At last night’s aldermen meeting a communication from H. Shurtleff attorney for the Narre railroad said the company would withdraw from riverbed changes from Primpeet street to Granite street if the highway ends at Gordon block and goes to Male street instead of De Peste. If the road runs to Depot Square the firm would pose a greater threat but would consider paying extra to cover costs, while council delays meeting. A further note said Mr Shurtleff would arrange a meeting with Mr R Ri on Monty day. The board adjourned to consider a motion. A separate resolution authorized $500 for Barre Citizens’ open air concerts. The property committee proposed leasing city farm land for $9 per acre for a year and reserving the rest as public playground. Permits granted for Demers, Qab, Leland, Victor, Martin, and others. Hoenges and Resin liquor licenses referred. The Civic Federation urged procurement of cabbage sap for park can supply to replace the last year’s fireworks damage. The supply committee was directed to obtain the cans.
