The st. Adams Messenger does not
see how it will be impossible to escape
putting a weight limit on trucks, for
not only would it be an impossibility
to maintain roads throughout the state
which would bear the traffic of the hea
West of these motors, but even if it
were it would be unjust to expect the
people to maintain a right of way for an
organized freight carrying concern. The
railroads have to maintain their right
Of way, and it obviously ism t right to
expect the general public to maintain
the right of way of those whose ex-
press purpose is to enter into competi-
ton with the railroads in heavy freight
traffic. For all ordinary purposes and
necessities there is no call for great
heavy trucks in this state, and in such
isolated cases as do exist, special ar
rangements can be made" That sounds
like good argument TO US.

HOW'LL THEY GET HIM HOME?
New Hampshire Soldiers at Front Adopt
ed German Horse.

How to get one chestnut weight
l,150 pounds-back to New Hampshire
is the problem that is giving one machine
gun battalion as much thought as is the
question of when that battalion is GO
ing to return. Somehow can't be
figured out just nOw-that horse must
be i'll the line when the battalion marches
through the streets of Concord or Man
chester on its triumphant return.
Old Hindenburg has been ON the roll
of this outfit for three months; he has
gone into battle with it; he has eaten
when times were good and rations plen-
tiful, hay as well as corned willie, and
hungered the same as the men when the
ration carts and supply trucks fell be-
hind in the advance. Many a machine
gun man remembers Old Hindenburg's
back as a sanctuary at time when he
feared he would have to fall out be-
cause of foot WEAKNESS.
Old Hindenburg never crossed the At

Rhine for the greater part of his young
horse life, and he joined the battalion

STATE BARGE TERMINAL.

The house has passed the bill auth
orizing the construction and mainten
ance of a state barge terminal at the
port of Burlington and the measure is
now before the senate. The bill provides
for an issue of $250,000 state bonds and
another authorizes the issue of $4,000
bonds by the city of Burlington, making
total of 100000, for the construc-
tion of the terminal 1t is stated in be-
half of the project that barge termin-
al at this point will be benefit to the
whole state, therefore its advocates are
asking the state to assume the expense
of construction. The $4,000 contrib
uted by Burlington is to be repaid to
the city with interest from one fifth of
the net proceeds from the operation of
the terminal.
The question before the major por
tion CT the state is: Is it wise to ere
ate such large bonded indebtedness at
this time for such purpose? We would
answer No.
At present there IS no barge traffic
on Lake Champlain demanding public
terminal facilities 1t is expected
there will be when the deep water ca
nal from the lake TO the Hudson River
is opened, but we have not learned of
the formation of the corporation or in
dividual enterprises to conduct such ira
fc 1t would seem safe for the state
TO wait until there is a demand from
some reliable barge organization for q
terminal on the Vermont shore before
going TO such great expense.
The city of Burlington, after years
of agitation and legal struggle, Sc
cured land for public dock in the
year of 1913. 1t is proposed the state
purchase this property as a part OF Tho
site for the proposed barge terminal
So far as we know this property ha:
lain idle on the hands of the city fol
more than five years and it looks t.
