lines are springing up between many Of
the larger places and centers of indus
trial life. For years there has been mo-
tor truck service between Barre and
Montpelier and to some of the outlying
towns. A motor truck service has been
established between Burlington and
Newport; another line is in operation
between Burlington and Rutland; sim
liar lines are doing thriving business
in other sections of the state. This is
chiefly due to the fact that trains have
been taken off the railroad lines, thus
subiecting patrons to great deal Of
delay. This motor truck route develop
ment during the most profitable months
of the year is destined to increase even
more If prompt steps are not taken by
the railroads to meet the demands of
the public II the railroads care to
maintain that patronage which is still
left to them they will have to plan their
schedules better and increase their train
service.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Moretown Winning

Editor, Barre Times. While reading
my attention was called to a paragraph
that conveyed the idea that Moretown
has dropped two games to the fast Gran
iteyille aggregation.
In reference to that statement | wish
to state the two teams have crossed
bats four times and Moretown has won
three of them The first game was
played at Moretown and the home team
won in a fast game by the score Of 5 to
4 90 innnigsl. We then journeyed 10
GraniteviIe and once again they fell
victims to our team by the score Of 4
to ? Then Manager McLeay of Gran
iteyille desired another game and we
accepted; the game was played rather
late, in fact the chores had been done and
the biddies (hensl had crossed their first
lap OF a long nights sleep when the UNI
pire called play ball" The exact time
of the game was two hours and fifty
minutes The game started at $3.50 p
M, until $40 p. m, and then the moon
began to shine. But the Graniteyille
boys got the bacon III II innings by the
score of to G, some fast game, too
Last, but not least, was the Labor day
game, which Moretown won by the score
of to 0.
| trust that / have made myself clear
in the above statments, and to the sat
isfaction of all parties concerned.

Manager Moretown A G.

RAILROADS NOT BEING RUN TO
SUIT PUBLIC.


SUIT PUBLIC.
The railroads of Vermont should be
taking steps, even though under govern
ment control, TO restore some of their
train schedules, else they will find
large share Of their transportation bust
ness lost to them. Already, the very in
frequent passenger service has driven a
large number of the people Of the state,
as well as visitors to the state, to resort
TO the use of motor vehicles in order to
travel from place to place with reason
able expedition and marked degree of
pleasure. The passenger traffic of the
railr IDS in the summer time has been
materially reduced in this way, or, at
least, it is far under what il would be If
The train schedules should be maintained
to render the greatest convenience of the
travelling public Commercial travellers
have taken to the automobile TO cover
their territory and they have equipped
their vehicles with baggage carrying IA.
rilities which render railroad service I'm.
necessary; tourists take their automo.
bile by preference whenever the travel
ling conditions will warrant; the gaso-
line route is always selected by those
local people who wish TO get from one
place TO another on short runs. This
applies chiefly to traffic in summer, but
If the Vermont highT ere developed

recent incident, which came near to
being an accident, when a motorist skid.
dcd on an oil-coyered highway near
Montpelier, raises the query whether
roads treated to covering OF oil should
not be pointed out by warning signals.
In the case in hand the motorist YVES
rolling along az fairly smart rate Of
speed when he came upon the oil, where.
upon he tried to bring his car down to
slower pace, only to have the machine
turn around under the pressure of the
brake and slide off the road sidewse,
down a slight bank toward the river, its
progress to be stopped ere the brink had
been reached by reason of some stout
bushes We do not know whether dan.
ger signals were placed at a reasonable
distance from either end of the oil sur
face; but we are inclined TO believe that
such precaution is very advisable, espe-
cally when the oil is not Immediately

The danger signal is pretty sure to bring
