the chief sufferer. but it need not have

disposed to groWl should understand
that we are ourselves TO blame. w,

after having done so, We could have
refused TO pay the rental on tho

the time for renewing came, we need
not have renewed But we did renew
and we did make that contract way

shall get pretty fair germ free but

quate fire protection. and we shall
pay about twice the water rates we
have been paying.
This is the program and it will go
through without a hitch. There are
some things | don't like about It, but
shall accept the situation cheerfully

Finds Fanlt With New Train Schedule


The following Letter will speak for
rsrf To writer di4sr from u in
regard to the train schedule which is

Editor md endeafsReporter
Dear Sir
In your lssar OF jar GOTH you
speak Of good news for Skowhegan
people "EJ far The best train ser
vice we over had" New just for a
moment. let me go back a year and
compare the two schedules. We think
YOU will agree with us. that was the
best ever
We do not intend to protest, for that
time has gone by 3ut permit us to
say that We admire your judgment in
calling it the best ever" The even
ing train into Skowhegan is a good
service indeed And hat Is all that
We call the best ever" Perhaps for
a few business men. and likewise Tor
people VINO DO not use the train SER
vice very much it i very nice. But
on the other hand. WhY not give the
men who use the train service some
thing? Now % make our point OF
view more plain to you, we'll say that
a working man in Wateryille, or
some nearby point gets call to come
home TO SkoWnegan after the last
train leaves Tnder the new schedule
he would be Obliged 70 wait at Water
Vile until the Ills train the next
morning or walk home cat the present
time there are quite few of rs from
SkOwhegan in Waterville). But why
cancel the morning train in Skowhe-
gan? We have read the article over
and over again. and the only reason
that we can see Is, on account of the
mail service between SkoWhegan and
Boston. WHY NOT ESTABLISH AN
AVIATION SERVICE and let the peo
pie walk to Skowhegan? No doubt
the committee did what they thought
best for the town. And In closing. we
don't want you to think that we are
kicking or knocking anybody, but just
expressing our situation in the matter.
Thank "oa for your attention to the
above.

gatherings called to determine wheth-

hydrant rental. offered by the Skow-
hogan Water Co Subsequent events
have proved that the question was the
most important that ever came before
us for action Something like 1000
citizens were entitled to vote; and
slightly over 200 we're present. As
we fell in with the line and approach

known our intention OF casting them
to Tom Anderson (now OF Portland
who was facing the line and urging
every man, as he passed to vote
YES" Tom introduced a rapid-firc
argument as to the benefits OF pure
water and adequate fire protection,
winding up with the assertion that, II
the contract was not accepted on that
day and at that hour, the owners,
(Skowhegan Water Coz would take
up the hydrants. His enthusiasm led
him to talk so rapidly that we could
not answer and his interference with
our progress passed, somewhat, the
bounds OF politeness Mr.. Pooler
made only one reply. Selling an OPP

pity they could not have been as the

much about, subsequently became a

quate for the higher areas of the town

for the business section The contract
was accepted at a subsequent meet

little use.
Now who's to blame? Not Manley

nor myself voted for the water com

Nor was Tom at all at fault; there is !
no doubt he was sincere Though |
doubtless mistakenly in believing that
