About COburn Park

The Park Commissioners wish to
bring before the people of Skowhe-
gan the need of the park for the ap-
preparation which for several years it
has received until last year. Last
year the voters saw fit to cut the
park appropriation two hundred dol
lars. 1t was war time, and of course
the commissioners cheerfully accept
ed what they were given. Fortunately
some necessary repairs had been
completed the year before, and there
was no extra that could not be post
poned. Everything was brought down
to the lowest level, no improvement
work was done, the man was dis
missed in midsummer, the grass was
left unknown, fertilizer was scanted,

and we kept within the appropriation

be done, beginpirg With repairing the

Car on On Somerset Traction Line

The 1890 A. M. car out OF Madison
last Friday morning due here at
1870. was derailed near the Killcare
farm. II was driven by Willard Gar
nier. motorman, and In charge OF
Everett Rowe, conductor. There were
two passengers, man and q
woman, both from Madison, who were
planning to take the Has train for
Fairfield. No one was injured and the
car was not seriously damaged.
The conductor went as quickly az
possible TO the nearest telephone ana
called up the car barn. asking that
a special car be sent to take the pas
sengers down, hoping to connect with
the 11:45 train, but they missed do
ing so by about four minutes. the
derailed car turned sidewise and one
end projected across the ditch and
the highway. The impact with the
frozen roadway was enough TO raise
the forward supports and break the
roof of the car. The damage, how
ever, was not serious and the car was
very soon put on the rails and readi-
ly repaired.
A subsequent examination of the
road-bed and rails at the point OF
the accident failed to develop any
reason why it should have occurred.
The gage of the track was just what
1t should have been and everything
else appeared to be in proper order
This particular car, number TWO, mad
been equipped few days before with
a new set of wheels. 1t Is possible
that this had something to do with
the accident Railroad men say that
new wheels will sometimes show a
little tendency to Climb" until they
have run enough to show wear on the
flanges.

1T
o keep a man at work all the season.
Ne could come near doing this with
our former appropriation, and with
good fortune in our need OF plumbers
and carpenters.
The Park Commissioners have tried
to use the towns money to the best
advantage, and to make 1t go as far
as possible. They have kept the park
In as good order as they could, and
have generally been able to make
each year Some improvement in
roads or buildings or planting. Less
work is now required for improve
ments, but more for up-keep. Lights
and water must be paid for, team
has to be hired in spring and fall,
buildings have to be repaired and
painted. the plumber is needed from
time to time, seeds and bulbs and
plants must be purchased and occa-
sionally new tools, and always fer
tilizer, and we cannot hire a man
for what we paid a few years ago.
Fortunately nature is never economi-
cal In her appropriations. Lavish in
her original investment upon. the site
she is generous in her yearly up-keep
and growth, and co-operates most
kindly in making our small labors
bring large results of natural beau
ty. . We hope the town will think 1t
wise to restore our year before last
appropriation, 30 that we can have
our park well-kept as 1t should be.
