Strike and Marble Dilemma for Municipal Building Plan
The Vermont marble strike threatens the district’s plan to preselect stone for the new Municipal Building. If the quarried marble remains idle, exterior work would halt nationwide, potentially forcing a switch to granite due to lower costs. Municipal officials weigh material choices as architects expected marble, while local workers face no immediate impact.

District orders permits for B street market stands
District officials moved to require permits for all persons with stands on the south side of B street at the Central Market. The marketmaster had issued permits only to farmers and gardeners selling their own produce, with police directed to remove nonpermit holders. Arrests will hinge on proof of farming activity, shifting burden from the District to alleged squatters and hucksters.
