Repairs to the horse drawn chemical
truck, which was damaged slightly while
the department was answering a general
alarm Tuesday noon, were gotten under
way to-day. When the truck collided
with a pole near the federal building,
only the front running board, to which
the gong is attached, and the whiffletrees
were damaged. The truck win remain in
commission while the damaged parts are
being restored. 1t develops that the de-
preston in the highway where the street
railroad tracks are located was partly
responsible for the accident, az the JOLT
ing which came when the truck sank into
the bed of the tracks caused the reins
to slip from the drivers hands.
Train service on the Central Vermont
railroad was nearly normal last night
and to-day, although delay of two
hours in the arrival of the train due to
reach Barre at o'clock was oceasioned
BY trouble TO the southwark, instead of
by snow accumulations on the northern
division. Passengers aboard the north
bound train had TO wait more than an
hour and one-half at South Royalton
while repairs were being made to broken
connecting rods in the locomotive. The
Barre connection was made at o'clock.
Trains from Montreal, which have been
greatly affected by drifts this week, have
overcome most of the obstacles that af
fected traffic to the north for three days,
and unless there is another heavy wind
storm the road officials believe that the
delays will not be repeated.
