CHAMBER OF COMhER
NOTES


Some very interesting events trans
pired at the meeting OF the directors
Monday afternoon and we feel 1t es-
sential for the members to be ac'
ouainted with the work under way
Setting of the date and naming oil
the committee for the Corn and 10
bacco Fair was one of the principle
items of business. This subject was
thoroughly treated in yesterdays pa
per.
To encourage the use OF the auto
buses, help the drivers to get more
business and let the passengers KNOW
Nnen and where to find the desired
GUS we nave had printed large num-
per OF schedule cards which are being
distributed among the merchants
| wholesale houses and manufacturers.
ms convenience has been establish
ed Ior the benefit of all citizens OF Ma
son County and to what extent OF
growth it shall reach, will only be de-
,ermined by the use made OF it.
The Trade Extension Division OF
the Chamber of Commerce recon-
mended to the Directors that a meet
ing of the Retailers and Auto Bus
drivers in the form Of noon luncheon
be served by the ladies Of one OF the
churches between the first and tenth
of September. The Secretary was in
structed to inform the Trade Exten-
sion Division that they had their con-
sent to proceed.
Mr.. Caplinger, Superintendent OF
the City Schools requested an audi
ence with the Directors, winch was
granted. He stated that quite few
of the High School pupils will ne
cessa~ily be kept from entering the
High School this fall due to the fact
that the train schedule has been
changed. He stated that he had taken
up the matter with the proper au-
thority who informed Mr.. Caplinger
that the desire for added service
could not be granted due to war time
measures in operation. The fact that
these High School pupils bring In
quite a nice sum of added revenue to
the school fund without expense OF
extra teachers and an indirect finan-
cial gain to the City of Maysville was
felt worthy of consideration. Mr..
Caplinger also informed us that the
Business Mems Club of Flemingsburg
had offered their cooperation and he
felt that with our combined effort to-
gether with Paris and some Of the
other effected territory it might be
possible for us to persuade the l.. &
N. to arrange their schedule so that
the $3.50 train would arrive at $3.50.
Upon motion by Mr.. Strobe seconded
by Mr.. Calhoun the Secretary was In
structed to cooperate with Mr.. Cap
linger together with our traffic Dlvl-
sion in an endeavor to gain this need.
We made an effort to obtain one OF
the aviation camps for Maysville and
received a reply from the Chief Sig
nal Officer of the War Department OF
Washington granting US the oppor-
tunity to make'a bid for same attach
ing specifications for such camp.
One of the specifications calls for $40
acres of land which makes 1t utterly
impossible for US TO make applica-
ton.
A communication from the Presi-
dent Of the Chambe of Commerce OF
Huntington, w. Va, was presented In
reference to the proposed establish
ment OF a regular Passenger and
Freight line operating between Hunt
inpton and Cincinnati. The Secretary

COMPENSATION FINDING.
Commissioner Donohue Decides Case in
 Favor of Claimant.

Tn the case of Edward N. La Bonte of Columbia against William H. Segar of Willimantic. Compensation Commis- sioner J. J. Donohue- has announced his finding and award.
 A claim for compensation for an in- jury received by the calimant on March Is. 1917 was made against Louis B. Whitcomb of Andover, and no agree ment having been reached a hearing was he'd on May 2S. al which time MT. Whitcomb appeared with the attorney for the Travellers Insurance com pany, John c. Raas. At this hearing it vnls not in the employ of said Louis B. Whitcomb at the time of his injuyT, and therefore claimant requested a hearing later that the facts might be found and the question of employer esta blished, which request was grant ed. and the matter again heard on June IS as above stated.
 The injury consisting of a cut just above the ankle caused by a tie pick striking him in the leg LaBonte was in loading tie into a car at the Hop River depot. Said injury caused a disability extending to May 1.
 At the hearing on May 2e 1t was found that LaRonte was not in the employ of MT Whitcomb on March 16 and that no award could be made against him and no finding was filed pending subsequent hearing, at which dRAlnEL whom LaBonte should have made his claim It was found that the avera ge weekly wages of the claimant were $15.
 It was found that when MT. Whit comb wished to set up a sawmill, in order to hasten the work, he had loaned several of MT. Segar's men" and that LaBonte had assisted with this work for three days and then re- turned to MT. -Segar's direct employ ment again and that on such occasions M hi hod 1of AT,~ P1.r the men and MT. Segar had settled with the men.
 In view of the testimony of the vari- ous witnesses, while that of the en- ployers was slightly contradictory, in the main the facts admitted were sub stantially the same, and I find that Segar was the employer of LaBonte at the time of his injury, as on every oc- casion on which LaBonte had worked for Whitcomb, even though he was on the payroll of Segar, he OaBonte) had received his pay directly from Segar except on this one occasion, and if he had not been injured LaBonte would have looked to Segar for his days pay for the work done on the day of March 16, 1917, and undoubtedly from tne testimony he would have received it from Segar, but a difference of opinion arose between Whitcomb and Segar with the result that LaBonte. being nj need of money and Whitcomb seeing his circumstances and knowing that it had to be paid either to Segar or La Bonte (but properly should have been paid to LaBonte through Segar), gave the money to LaBonte which he knew was due him. It was entirely a ques- tion of a loaned employe, and in view of the facts as presented 1t was found that LaBonte was in the employ of Segar on the day of his injury and that he should have looked to him in the first place. for compensa tion.
 Commissioner Donohue has ordered the respondents to pay to the claimant the sum of s37.50, together with the medical, surgical and hospital ser vices.

TOWN SCHOOL BOARD
 DISCUSSES COAL QUESTION High Prices And Little Prospect of
 Getting 1t in Quantity.

The town school board met Friday evening ;n the superntendent's office in the town hall and disucssed mat ters of importance. Among the mat ters under discussion were the repairs which will be made during the sum- mer vacation. Another matter brought before the board at the meeting was the cOngested conditions of the schools in the West Side district. es- peciaIly that of the Thamesville school. The condition here will be worse next year instead of better owing to the opening of the Winchester Woolen Co.,, which will necessarily bring many fam lilies to the city. Several ways of overcoming the difficulty were discuss ed but nothing definite decided. The school garden question was discussed at length and it was decided to carry on the work as last year.
 The coal situation was the topic of chief discussion at the meeting. Judge T. J. Kelley reported on the meeting Of school representatives of New Eng land held al ECstCn recently for the consideration of the coal situation throughout the eastern states The local condition has a dark outlook as the prices steadily advance and there is little prospect of getting large sup plies. This question was held oper for the next meeting. Adjournment was at ten thirty. :.
