Barre hopes to retain the volume OF
trade which it now has it must make
some arrangement of this sort.
The natural location of rest room
and if the municipality is to be the sole
sponsor for the project, the place selected
naturally would be in the municipalities
property, probably the city hall. And
even ii the municipality should receive
the financial cooperation Of some organ
izations, the Board of Trade or the Mer-
chants association, for instance, the city
hall would be perhaps the best location,
with the organizations assisting in the
maintenance of the place. Now is the
time for the matter to be decided, be.
cause of the fact that the removal of
the postoffice from the city hall has left
considerable room available. Perhaps
the interior of the first floor can be so
arranged as to permit of the establish
ment Of a ''rest room.' The Times
hopes so.
Another improvement, which is very
much needed, was suggested to the alder
men last evening by representative OF
the Board of Trade. That is the pro-
yiding of suitable waiting room on
Main street for the use of patrons of the
street railway company. This matter
has been in the public mind for some
time, and the company has been urged
to take steps to insure the comfort OF
its patrons, yet to no avail. In most
cities having central gathering point
for boarding and leaving ears, the street
railway companies provide places where
the patrons can be sheltered during the
time of waiting for the arrival and de.
parture of cars. The matter ought to
be taken up and presented to the owners
of the traction company.

and as promptly obeyed. Otherwise
there might have been another ocear
tragedy when the steamship Corsicar
bumped into an iceberg in midoeean last
Monday. That there should have beer
necessity for a collision at all can only
be explained by the supposition that the
Corsican was steaming through heavy
fog, which obscured the ocean from q
point a short distance ahead OF the
speeding ship. Only the presence of fog
would account for the accident, allowing
that the proper safeguards were taken,
because in clear weather bergs can be

veer his course. The details of the COL
lision are not known, as nothing but the
bare details were given in the wireless
messages; but it is taken for granted
that fog prevailed where the berg was
encountered two hundred miles east of
Newfoundland. 1t was a fortunate thing
that the discovery was made as soon
as it was made, inasmuch as it permitted
the commander to slscken the speed OF
the vessel and reduce the force of the
impact when the meeting was inevitable.
The lesson was a strong one.
