BOAT LINE DISCONTINUED
No More Service Between Vergennes
and WestpOrt


The Victor. the double decked screw
steamer which for years has piled be-
tween Vergennes and Westport on the
vergennes- Westport line. will make that
trip no more and with its departure the
service between those two places is no
more. j. e. eastman has bought the
boat and this summer will use it on tho
breakwatcr work, which will be begun
soon.
The Victor was for years operated under
the captaincy Of Captain Lewis Daniels
and with his death his son, Captain
NJ. H. Daniels. took command. The boat
is rs feet in length and can carry quite
large number Of passengers besides
freight. OF late the line has not been
over PROSPEROUS The boat has been
used to some extent in towing barges
up Otter creek, but even this business has
been on the decline and the management
Of the boat was willing to sell this
spring.
Mr.. eastman has large contract to
rip-rap the breakwater. Part Of this
work was accomplished last year, but It
will take a long time to complete the
Job and the boat will he needed. Thou
sands Of tons of stone will be placed
against the sides Of the crib of the break
water TO prevent the sides from being
forced out. These sides were beginning
to show signs Of the wear of the Ice and
water and that is the reason the rip
rapping was ordered by the government.
The stone which was used last year was
brought in by train from Barre and
loaded on barges which took 1t out to the
breakwater. The stone is laid under the
supervision of a diver who sees that
the big blocks are properly placed.

5000 MILE TAXICAB JOB
w. H. Condor Returns from Run Ia
New Mexico

New Mexico
After completing the longest taxicab
job ever handled from Vermont, Filfred
II. Condor Of 22S Park street returned to
the city yesterday to resume his place on
the hack stand. His last trip was just
about 5000 miles and was from this city to
Las Vegas, New Mexico, and return. The
trip used up a good many barrels Of gaso.
line, something like 600 gallons, for the
roads in some places were pretty rough
and some times acircuitous route was nec-
essarily taken. The entire journey was
accomplished without engine trouble and
only two punctures occurred. These were
both unimportant ones from nails in the
road.
Last fall f. L. Hildebrand and family
were In Burlington for few weeks. Mr..
Hildebrand. a wealthy Englishman. who
had become a naturalized citizen of the
United States. was suffering from Ill
health and spent his time fishing and
hunting in this vicinity. Condor drove
him about. One day Hildebrand asked
him II he would like to drive him a little
further than usual and on Condon's an
swering yes, Hildebrand said he wished
he would take him and his family out to
New Mexico. A day or two later the
party started. The trip to New Mexico
was made in % days as the party trav-
eled leisurely.
Condon's car Is Cadillac eight and
was ample for the Hildebrand family. A
two-wheeled trailer was hitched on behind
and the trunks, camping outfit. etc. were
loaded into that.
The route taken was over good roads
for the most part Some Of the distance
was made on the Lincoln highway and
more on the ocean-to-ocean route. 1t
rained during the first Is days Of the trip.
however. and that considerably impeded
progress. The party started on Oct. IL.
The first place was Malone. Then the route
was directly west through Watertown,
Syracuse. Buffalo to Erie. Pa, Then came
Cleveland, Toledo. stops in Indiana and
Illinois. Clinton. Iowa, Cedar Rapids. and
then down through Nebraska, Kansas.
and Colorado to New Mexico. where the
final stop was made at Las Vegas. The
longest run in day was 1873 miles. No
attempt was made at speed as the trailer
carried about 1000 pounds In addition to
the car which was loaded with Ave per-
sons and number of grips. etc. The
party camped out only two days during
the trip as the weather was bad. The
worst roads encountered on tho trip were
in Iowa and Colorado. and for the most
part they were very good.
Condor spent the winter with Mr.. Hide
brand and started on his return trip April
80 The time on the way back was much
faster as he was unincumbered with a
trailer and came alone.

FOR UNIFORM STANDARD

Representatives Of Casualty CompAn.
les Meet with State Commissioner
All yesterday afternoon and most of the
forenoon, r. w. Simonds, commissioner
or industries. and representatives of
casualty companies doing about 80 per
cent. OF the business in the State under
the workmen's compensation law were In
consultation at the Hotel Vermont The
meeting was called at the suggestion of
Mr.. Simonds and was for the purpose of
agreeing on some standard of safety de.
vices, boilers. ETC., under which they
would write insurance. Although the re-.
suits Of the meeting are withheld from
publication. 1t is known that they are
very satisfactory and the representatives
OF the casualty companies and the State
commissioner Of industries are agreed on
| all the important details
Until this time each company doing busi-
ness with employers of labor in taking
over their risks has had its individual
standard. An employer might comply
with all that was required in one company
and II he changed companies would find
that he must make many changes in his
plant In order to comply with the condi-
tons OF the new company. On the other
hand he might have expended consider
able money where 1t was not needed, With
the same standard for all much money
will be saved, as we'll as much confusion.
At the meeting yesterday some technical
subjects were handled but all seemed to
be of the same mind regarding most
things. Some stumbling blocks, such as the
regulations governing boilers, were
handled and this will facilitate the work
OF the men who install boilers in the
state as we'll as help the employers, the
industrial commissioner and nearly every
| one else. Because Of the number and
standing of the companies represented,
the standard drawn. up will practically
amount to making the standard a State
law. The companies which were not repre-
scented are companies which have only
one or two cases per year in the State.
The people represented at yesterdays
meeting are the Maryland Casualty
company Of Baltimore. Travellers Insur-
ance company Of Hartford, Conn.,. Aetna
Life Insurance company of Hartford
Royal Indemnity company of New York.
United States Fidelity and Guaranty of
Baltimore, Employers Liability company
