The delegates voiced their satisfac-'
tion of the work of their president
the last year, H. E. Robbins of Derby
by re-electing him for another year as
they also did by re-electing U. A.
Harris in the capacity of secretary
and -treasurer.
Among the matters- of business
which came before the meeting was
that of consolidating some of the
smaller town locals. Mr. Piper said
the object of such consolidation was
to give the local larger -membership
which would increase the interest in
the work of the association. The
matter was voted to be left in tht
hands of the county officers and cen
tral office. Another matter which
came up for discussion was along th
line of the association having amonjr
its membership many members of
French speaking people, and the as
sociation desired to give them th
information that they - should have r
their own language.
While Mr. Piper expressed his wil
lingness to issue a circular letter t
all such members in French, the mat,
ter was left in. the hands of the
county officers and central office, wit"
the addition of M. N. Lareau of Nortr
Troy, who has done splendid work foi
the Troy local. Delegates present from
the town Jpeals expressed their desire
to have a speaker at their annua!
toy;n meetings, which are held prior
to the holding of the county meeting
The matter was well taken and tht
association assured "that speakers
would be furnished at the next annua
meetings.

could be so arranged to accommodate

MANY PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS
No New Buildings but Many Substaiu
x tial Improvements .Made
' in Barton.
Little new building has been done
in Barton during the past season put
a very substantial amount of improve-
ments of more than ordinary magni
tude can be recounted.
One of the largest improvements
is the work done at Hotel Barton dur-
ing the season. A garage 40x20 feet
has been builf? bringing the storage
capacity for automobiles at the hotel
up to about 25. A new heating plant
has recently been finished at the
Hotel, which is the latest thing in a
fine heating system there being two
boilers and the rooms in the ell part
connected with steam where heat has
not before been available, increasing
the capacity of the house as well as
the comfort and convenience.
One of the greatest improvements
to the High street section of the vil
lage is the remodelling of the King
property on that street into a modern
seven-tenement block 80 feet in
length, two stories high and having
a splendid basement under the en
tire building. This is an improve
ment costing several thousand dol
lars and would rank in cost with many
new and complete building operations.
Noah Brooks has added to his prop
erty on High street by building a
two-storey six-stall garage, the second,
floor being designed as a paint shop,
and it is understood has been rented '
by Frank Gilman. This ,is a substan
tial building.
Another High street improvement
of more than passing -mention is that
made to the C. O. F. property. This
is the first property meeting the eye
going north on High street and the
improvement is marked.
The transformation of the former
Larabee hardware store on Main
street into a light, sanitary, modern
steam-heated block by A. R. Robin
son has only been mentioned, but the
improvement is marked and. the place
makes a most up-to-date grocery
This in connection with N the improve
ments on the Mosher and Flood blocks
in the past year or two add material
ly to this immediate locality.
A new and costly vapor heating,
system has been installed in the bank
block and recently completed. Sever
al other new heating plants have also
been installed in town this season,
each being a distinct addition to the.
valuation of property.
A .sizeable addition to the plant
of Wessell, Nickle & Gross in the
form of a lumber shed is now being
completed on Water street. This is
a two-story shed, the back wall of the
lower story being of brick and con
necting the dry kiln with the main
wood-working factory.
The T3. F. Flanders house just off
Main street near the Durkee and
Erowning residences has undergone
a complete transformation by the ad
dition f dormer windows and gen
eral rebuilding.
Henry Damon has added a new
building of some size for storage pur
poses to his residence on Hubbard
avenue and an addition of consider
able size has been made to the Nor
ris blacksmith shop.
Homer Rushford has made exten-"
sive improvements on his buildings
on Glover street, the Congregational
parsonage has been improved and a
new tenement -finished in the Jerome
house on Main street within a year.
A great deal of money has been
spent the past year in reconstructing
the Crystal . Lake House into tene
ments and apartments which is help
ing to solve the housing problem in
Barton.
A new bridge has been built by
the town across the outlet of Crystal
lake below the Peerless factory. This
is an improvement costing consider
able monev and adding materially to
the betterment of things.
These are some of the greatest im
provements but does not complete all
the expenditures of money on real es
tate which adds to the permanent
worth of real estate or the grand list
of the village. Among other pro
jects might be mentioned work at the'
fair grounds, by the J. W. Murkland
company, F. R. Hastings, the Pierce
& Barrows block, the Webster block
(formerly the Batchelder block), the .
Barton Electric . Laundry, ana many
sizeable paint jobs and inside work. As
before stated, new building projects
are waiting for another season but
the amount of money spent in im
provements and additions as enume
rated above will probably exceed in
money outlay that made in other
years when new buildings have 'been
erected.
MUNICIPAL COURT .
. Judge W. M. Wright presided at
the Municipal court Monday, there
being but few cases.
W. J. Mc Williams of Boston was
brought before the court on the
charge of violating the Volstead act.
It appeared at the hearing that Mc
Williams,Nwho by trade has been an
expert painter previous to his health
failing him and was usually engaged
nutting the finishing coat on au
tomobiles. He has a brother in North
Troy and a brother-in-law was pres
ent at the hearing. McWilliams
was on his way back to Boston from
a visiting trip to his brother at Troy,
when taken of the train Sunday by
custom officials, he having five quarts
of liquor in his possession. It fur
ther appeared that he -was taking
home the liquor for his own personal
use. The usual fine of .$300 and costs
was the sentence, $200 being remitted
ine ime paia Dy tne Drotner, as Mc
Williams was without means, was
$108.55. -
The only' other case coming before
theourt was that of Ward Prouty.
In this case it appears that durinV
the past summer Sheriff E. J. Hill
placed Mr, Prouty under arrest for
intoxication andwhile being detained
in the jail office, took advantage of
Mr. Hill's absence for a few minutes
and made a hasty exit out the back
way. Prouty's bail for the change of
intoxication was fixed at $50.00 and
for escaping an officer $500. Frank
Wright went surety and his cases will
come up for trial at a later date. v
