PETITIONS PUBLIC
SERVICE COMMISSION
Town of Newfane Wants Highway
| Widened at Salmon Hole Bridge
Railroad Planning Repairs.

The town of Newfane, through Attor-
ney A. Y. ID. Piper of Brattleboro,
brought petition to the public service
today asking the board
to issue an order directing the Central
Vermont Railway company to cease
work upon repairing the west abutment
at the railroad overpass at Salmon Hole
bridge, i'll Newfane. 1t asks ako that
after a hearing the commission order
the railroad company to so repair the
abutment that the highway may be
made wider on the west side at point
where it passes under the tracks.
The petition states that the West
river tracks cross the highway on an
overpass two miles north of the Newfane
railroad station; that the town has
constructed a state highway on botl
sides of the overpass; that by reason
of the abutment on the west side and
West river on the east side the highway
is only ii feet wide at the overpass; ant
that the highway approaches the over
pass on both sides on curve
/ 1t is stated in the petition that tn,
railroad apparently intends to repair th'
abutment on the west side by construct
ing a cement retaining wall around il
which would still further narrow tn
highway and make it still more danger
Gus. The public good requires that tn
abutment be moved back, the petition
says, SO that the highway may be wild
ened and Strengthened.
1t was arranged today that work b
suspended until after a hearing, whicl
was set for Friday, Aug. 81, at 1870 a
m. in the Windham County House a
lNewfane.

The four had been visiting north Of

runs at right angles to the end of the
highway, and the front wheels dropped
down on TO the tracks on the ether
side
1t was neither possible to go ahead
or back out of the predicament, while
from the south the midnight freight
was approaching at rapid rate The
four clambered out of the car as quickly
as possible and Mr.. Seaman ran dowi

FILLED WITH CARS
Regular Freight Shipment on Fitchburg
Division Hampered by Reason of
Military Needs

Regular freight shipment over the
Fitchburg division of the Boston &
Maine railroad is considerably hampered
nowadays by reason of the quantities
of material that are being sent to Aver.
Mass. for use in erecting the big mill
tary cantonment there. Anything in
the way of material for government use
takes precedence over the regular ship
mcnts, and railroad men say that the
sidings along the line between Boston

WAR SUMMARY

The Austrian line on the lsonzo front
has been broken at several points by
the Italians it is announced officially
at Rome The Italians continuing their
furious assaults between Tolmino and
the Adriatic, are now pursuing the
Austrians who are defending the diff
cult ground yard by yard. One of the
most brilliant feats of the Italians was
the capture of Monte Santo, 2,245 feet
high. This peak, seven miles north of
Gorilla, dominates the broad plain be-
yond the city and occupancy of it has
enabled the Austrians to hold up the
Italian advance to the east since their
capture of the city.
The brief official recital gives little
idea of the struggle which attended the
storming of the Austrian stronghold
ON the mountain top, but it doubtless
will have an important bearing on the
development of the italian campaign.
Having gained their principal OBJ
| icctive on the Ncrdun front the French
are completing their victory by local
attacks to round out and secure their
new lines. Profting by the capture
