enter business in Waterville. Although
Green is strong as a baseball coach
and a track man, it was always under
stood that football was his particular
hobby and that he liked nothing better
than a team Of gridron men to whip
into shape. Pretzman Gale. the pres
ent coach. received his early training
in football under Green and feels elated
at the prospects Of again working with
his former tutor. Gale will direct the
back field work especially, in which de-
partment he excels. Green Is always
able to instill fighting spirit into his
team. and under his leadership men
are proud to do their best. 1t Is hoped
that his work will result In stronger
team that will be able to successfully
cope with Hebron and Coburn for
championship honors.

warden had gone to fight fire which
mad started during the night OF Oct
Is in leaves and had spread into the

Public Utilities

The Maine Public Utilities Commits
sion under date of Oct "a has rendered
the following decision:
Alfred Berg of Clinton, section man
in employ of Maine Central Railroad.
was struck by engine of eastbound
passenger train No. SO at 1923 A. NJ,
October Z, 1916, and received injuries
from which he died almost Immediate
ly. The accident occurred between
mile posts IS and Sc, near West Benton
station.
The engineer applied his air when he
saw the men ahead to reduce speed. but
not to stop the train. He sounded his
whistle in ample time for them to have
left the track. He testifies:
when I got quite close to them
see they (Berg and his immediate COM
panion) wasn't getting out of the way
SO slowed down little more. One of
them was walking on the left and one
on the right. both walking towards the
engine, going east. and expected
every minute they were going to get
!, off. One of them; did all right. but the
other one (Berg) didn't, the engine
struck him. 1t seems as though the
forward beam of the engine struck him
and throwed him against the ledge on
the right hand side. The man had a
shovel in his hand. I was going at a
moderate rate when struck him.
There are SO many people walking on
the track every day that stay on the
track until the last minute. Some
times when we blow the whistle they
don't pay any attention to it until the
last minute. Then they get off. and
thought he was going to do the same
thing"
The evidence does not disclose any
culpability upon the part of any men,
Der of the train crew or of the railroad
company,

Alfred Water Co. to Issue Bonds

The Public Utilities Commission Fri
day rendered a decision authorizing the
Alfred Water Co. to issue and sell at
par its common capital stock of an ag-
gregate par value not to exceed $1,000,
the proceeds thereof to be devoted to
the payment of the principal of it's
present outstanding promissory notes.
The company is ordered to report to
the commission in detail, supported by
the affidavit of one of its principal Of
ficers, it's doings within 60 days from
date and thereafter if and as directed,
The commissioners say in the decision:
THE petitioner has outstanding
$1,000 capital stock, $4,000 bonds and
$1,000 of six per cent. notes, all of which
entered into the construction of it's
water works. Thus far, no dividends
have been paid on the capital stock.
The company has earned a very small
amount in excess of its other annual
charges, $35.73, during the year ending
Jan. Is, 1916. 1t is now planned to re-
tire the above promissory notes by the
sale of this stock, chiefly among those
locally interested in the system, with
the expectation that some dividend
probably less than 6 per cent.-may be
distributed from the money otherwise
required for the interest on these
notes."
