The practice of parking automobiles
on both sides of such narrow street
as Keith avenue ought TO be prevented,
as such practice virtually closes the
street for traffic. Several times recently
cars have been left near the junction of
the street with Main street so that there
barely was room enough for a horse
drawn vehicle to pass between, and then
only by the driver exercising consider
able care in guiding his horse and by
moving at a slow walk. The distance
from curb to curb at the westerly end of
the street (the Main street endl is very
short, as, indeed, it is during the entire
length of the street, and is scarcely sui.
ficient to permit parking of vehicles on
one side of the street and allow room
for through traffic; so when vehicles are
parked directly opposite each other there
might as well be a sign placed there,
saying, "This street closed for traffic"

A bitter complaint is made by the
Burlington Free Press over the condition
of the highways in Burlington and the
surrounding towns, the esteemed contem-
porary going so far as to cry out State
Road Commissioner Bates, help, or a
host Of Vermonters perish from excessive
road shock!" One would Judge by read.
ing The Free Press article that the con
ditions were very bad indeed; but mas
much as Burlington voters have just re-
fused to spend $4,000 for new highways
in their city it would seem that the trou-
bic is as much due to themselves as to
those who are supposed to keep the roads
in repair. Burlington had some good
roads a score of years ago. but, like
nearly everything else, they were not
everlasting. Roads must have attention,
even Improperly laid.

Very properly, the Rutland Herald
comes to the defense of Lake Dunmore
as vacation resort, the defense having
been thought necessary by recent state
ment in The Times that the dangerous
places" in the shore waters ought to be
marked so that bathers would keep away
from the danger spots. Our comment was
called forth by the fact of the drowning
of a Rutland young woman who stepped
off shelving rock and was drowned
The contemporary admits that there are
such danger places in Lake Dunmore, as
in most other waters, but that Lake
Dunmore is no different than any other
lake or even the sea itself Most lakes
where bathing is INDUCED in to any ex-
tent have sloping beaches, and we pre-
sumo Lake Dunmore has such slopes. If
so, those safe places for bathing ought to
be made known, while the unsafe places
ought to be charted The Times has no
desire to detract from the value of Lake
Dunmore as vacation resort; il simply
desires to save human lives, whether
those lives be endangered in Lake Dun
more or elsewhere. So The Times will
