A new Ingersol Rand air compressor,
with a capacity of 1900 cubic feet of air,
arrived at the Mari & Gordon manufac-
turing plant this week to replace one
with capacity Of 700 cubic feet. This
is doubtless as large machine as any In
the city and will add greatly TO the eff
cheney of the shed and, instead Of two
eompressors having a total capacity Of
1900 cubic feet Of air, there will be two
with total Of 1900 cubic feet. This,
however, cannot be installed until ce-
ment foundation is completed. Already
the old machine has been removed from
| It's standing and in a short while the 200
| horse power motor which has been oper-
ating the other two eompressors, will
again be compelled to produce 500 pounds
more air than It has been doing,

Judge w E. Hanks of Bristol, a Buick,
and a Ford driven by Justin NJ Barber
Of Barre, collding Mr.. Hanks was ac-
companied by his wife and Mr., Barber by
| his brother, George j. Barber of Barre,
and by Gerald S. Hunt of Royalton, The
road Of the underpass is very narrow and
in making the turn from the road around
the underpass abutment, the left front
wheel Of the Hanks car struck a hind
wheel OF the Barber car, entering the
underpass from the opposite side The
rear wheel of the Ford car was crushed
and the fender was iammed, while the
forward wheel and fender Of the Buick
were also put out Of commission. No
one was seriously hurt and both parties
agreed that neither was greatly to blame.
Royalton people themselves pronounce
the underpass faulty constructed and
| consider ii a menace to the travelling
public until the road is widened.
