Barre city council decides to finance river channeling to prevent flood damage. Barre Railroad pays four sevenths of the cost, abutters two sevenths, and the city one seventh. Abutters protested their share as too large, with plans to reroute the river to protect business properties on Main Street and near Depot Square. The project, agitated since 1905, aims to cut flood risks to basements and downtown blocks, despite land damages and objections from landowners and Central Vermont Railroad.
