Barre. 



Although this town has been extensively logged, there is still 

 a large amount of growing pine left, amounting to 50 per cent, 

 of the forest area. There is very little, however, of commercial 

 size. Commercially speaking, chestnut follows pine in im- 

 portance, but occurs with far less frequency. Red maple and 

 birch form one-fifth of the forest area. 



Most of the lumber cut in Barre has been shipped outside. 

 There is a sash and blind factory at Barre Plains belonging to 

 Mr. T. E. Rich, and a planing mill owned by H. A. Knight. 

 James A. Rice is the leading operator.
