age plants at yesterdays session Of the
committee. in opposition to the legislation
which the committee has recommended,
John j. Walton, New York dealer in
butter. was the chief opponent of the cold
storage legislation.
He explained that the limiting of the
period that foods can be kept in cold
storage to a year was all right for eggs,
but not for butter. Eggs have to BE-
thrown away after nine months. anyway.
he argued, while butter is sometimes
kept two or three years with deprecia>
ton in quality.
High prices, said Mr.. Walton, ars
caused by the fact that the supply OF
butter for the entire year does not equal
the normal consumption during periods
when butter is low. He said the Elgin
board was not recognized in New York;
and that the so-called butter trust was &
myth.
The makers Of oleomargarine were
charged by Mr.. Walton with being part
ly responsible for the high prices. He
declared they went into the market and
bought butter for use in coloring their
product, and that their purpose was to
keep butter high 50 as to make a better
market for their cheaper product. The
witness was asked IL there were pros.
poets Of lower prices in the near future
and he replied that the chance of re-
ductfon was slight.

The New York dealer indicated that
Boston people have better Judgment in

The witness gave this testimony to show
the fickleness OF the egg market.

Address by Mr.. Goldsborough.

Then Mr.. Goldsboroush addressed the
committee. He said a reflection had been
made by member Of the committee at a
previous hearing. which was embraced In
the question asked as to why the WASH
ington Gas Light Company came before
the District committee represented by an
outside expert. who testified as to the de-
tails OF its financial affairs. Confederation
had to come from without, Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough contended, and the expert was Sc
lected in order that he might look into
the matter in disinterested way and
verify the statements of the company In
its annual reports.
DR.. Humphreys had been selected the
attorney declared. because for . third OF
4 century he had been familiar with the
property Of the Washington Gas Light
Company; because he had appraised It
several times-once for prospective pur-
chaser who offered 100000. which was
not accepted-and because he had a rep
utetion second to none as q gas engineer.
MT. Goldsborough referred to the fact
that Representative Madden OF Illinois at
the time the Peoples Gas Company of
Chicago was under investigation to TX
the price Of gas to the consumer had re-
ferred to DR.. Humphreys. who headed the
committee of inquiry. as THE greatest
consulting engineer of the United States
and Europe in the manufacture o. gas and

"As the opening Of spring is earlier

"At the last meeting of our society

Voluntary Reduction.

At this point Mr.. Goldsborough made
the statement that in his opinion the

company in the future. as 1t had been
done, voluntarily, I'm the past. This had
happened, he said, eight or ten times

Mr.. Goldsborough objected to the Coud-
rye resolution because 1t signaled out the
gas company from the other public serv-
ice CORPORATIONS OF Washington for at
tack. The gas company, he insisted, had
always treated the public fairly and he
thought 1t was entitled to the same con-
sideration as other public utilities re-
ceived.

said, by q general indictment, contain

profits. When I come to argue this case
I will prove to the committee that gas
in the District OF Columbia, instead of
being high. is really the cheapest thing in
the world. It is the only thing which has
continued to decline in price while the
cost of the necessities of life has steadily
advanced. Why. it is relatively cheaper
than water
That the gas company was the only
local public service corporation which
was undercapitalized was another claim
made by Mr.. Goldsborough. II can prove"
he said, that this corporation Is entitled
to q capitalization of at least $4,000 600
on It's physical properties alone, not to
speak OF its franchise"
It was frankly admitted by Mr.. Colds

had been burned nearly thirty years ago.

Death of Charles Fo1som.-Vi11age Streets
Left in Darkness.-Business Notes.
The death of Charles Folsom early
Monday morning, October 81, brings
a sense of personal bereavement to
almost every person in town. For
20 years he had lived in Lyndon and
been honored, respected and loved by
her people. Charles Folsom was born
in Wheelock, June 6, 1928. His
parents were James and Lucy Fol
som, his mother being a Sanborn of
the Sanborn family of Sanbornton,
N. H., with many connections in this
vicinity. His descent on both sides
was from that good, clean, old New
England stock, of Fplain living and
high thinking" Of the six children
of the family, two boys went West
as pioneers and died there years ago,
one was DR.. Folsom of st. Johns
bury; Samantha married Jeremy
Pearl of Lyndon; and Amanda lived
with her brother, Charles, and alone
now survives him. In 1910 the Fol-
SONS moved from Wheelock to the
home farm in Lyndon, where Charles
and Amanda Folsom have lived for
70 years. Here the father and mother
died, and here a new home was es-
tablished in 1848 by the marriage of
Mr.. Folsom to Flavia McGaffey of
Lyndon. For So years Mr.. and Mrs.
Folsom lived life of peaceful hap
piness in this pleasant home, carry
ing on their appointed tasks and rear
ing their children in this wholesome
atmosphere. Three children, all
living, were born to them, Harley E.,
of Lyndonville, Stephen of Los
Angeles, Lucy, Mrs. Albert M. Stone
of ST. Johnsbury Center. There are
three grandchildren now living, Fred
and Flavia Folsom, Agnes (Stone)
Steele, of Manchester, N. H., and two
great grandchildren, the children Of
Fred Folsom and Mrs. Steele. The
outward events of these 70 years
are shortly chronicled. Mr.. Folsom
was emphatically a man who loved
his home, and the even tenor of his
way too we'll to wander from its In
all these years but two trips from
home are recorded, on visit to New
Mexico, and the time spent in Mont
