The west-bound mail train, due to ar rive in Westerly at six o'clock, Monday morning, was delayed nearly half an hour by reason of peculiar accident. When the train arri~ed it was found that the rim of one wheel on the rear truck ot a mail car, that preceded the two pas senser coaches of the train was miss ing Portions of the bolts that would have served as spokes in the ordinary wheel protruded, and their condition in- dicsfed that they had beenT hitting the rail One passenger believes that the accident occurred when the train was about a mile from Westerly, as he mo- ticed an occasional and unusual slight shock as the train proceeded. With the aid 6f a Switch engine from the local yard, the disabled car was taken from the train and placed on siding.
 Another unusual accident happened to the fast freight train from the east due to pass through Westerly at o'clock Sunday night At West Mansfield, the locomotive struck and killed, Albert E.. Perry, just as he alighted from train from Providence. His wife and nephew were on the train with him and when they stepped off. Mir. Perry has disap- peared. His body was found on the pilot of the locomotive when Providence was reached distance of sixteen miles. None of the crew of the freight train were aware of the accident.
 The new traffic treEulatiOns regarding pa rl<ing of automobiles is in force and Police Chief Brown has announced that the regulations will be strictly adhered to. Parking signs have been placed noti- flying automobilists that thirty minutes is the limit for parking automobiles in Broad and Main streets from Union to Union street. that street running from Broad to Main street. The same limta- ton prevails in Broad street on the north side from the bridge to High street and along that street on the west side 10 Canal street. There are no restric- tions in regard to the opposite side of that street upon which the Colonial club and the post office is located. Under the rules automobiles may park all day in front of the post office without violating the town ordinance.

 ''Go to the right signals have been placed on cement pedestals in Dixon square, Broad and Elm streets, Main and Broad streets, High and Canal streets, and at Canal street and Rail- road avenue, thereby making those warnings more prominent and causing automobiles to give them a wider berth as matter of safety first.

 Charles S. Palmer was struck by a trolley car of the Groton- -Stonington branch, Sunday night, when within a short distance of his home in Wequete- quock. Two ribs were broken and he sustained several minor cuts and bruis- es. The car was bound to Westerly and MT. Palmer was seen by the aid of the rays from the headlight, walking in the road for quite a distance ahead of the car. The motorman sounded the whistle several times. AS the car neared MT Palmer he stepped onto the track, and in response to the warning whistle went back to the highway. Suddenly he came back to the track and was struck glancing blow by the trolley car The motorman applied the brakes and the car came to a sudden standstill, its length from the point where the acci- dent occurred. It is believed that Mir Palmer became dazed when he saw an automobile approaching and unconscious ly stepped in front of the trolley car, Passengers in the car declare the whistle gave warning in ample time for Mir. Palmer to get to safety, that the car was slowed down. and brought to very quick and sudden stop in the effort to avoid the accident, and that nc blame attaches to the motorman. MT Palmer was assisted to the residence of tended by Dr. Meyers, of Mystic.

In the city of New York, an emer- gency confronted the municipal au- thorities recently, wherein, throuG'' difference of opinion between em- ployer an employee, concerning the compensation that should be pa d the driver of milk wagons the dis tribution of milk to the little ones of Manhaan Island was about to cease.
 Milk is selling in the city oI New York at 21 cents per quart.
 The farmer producers of the pos tai service throughout the State ol New York answered thousands oi uuestionnaires forwarded to chem by the Post Office Department within the past sixty-days.
 An analysis of the replies to these ouestionnaires discloscs that the farmer producers are receiving iron 5 to 9 cents per quart.
 It would seem that there IS some thing radically wrong with sys tenn of transportation, treatment and distribution, which imposes q charge of 200 per cent upon the val ue of the articles at the point oI production and let me state, that the replies to the questionnaires nameo the prices at the point of shipment and that was not always at the barn door, but in some instances, several milets from the point where the mllh was produced.) This product ship ped by fast freight at 3Sc per 10t pounds or by express at tariff rate of 9Sc per 100 pounds or by mai at a postage rate of $.10S per lOC pounds, from Binghampton, New York, to New York City, would in dicate that the average price ot milk delivered at the dairy or treat ment station in New York City would not exceed Sc per quart. The treatment of the dairy, which would include pasteurizing, deodorlzihg, waterizing, and losses from bad bills, broken bottles, and all other incidental expenses. and liberal return in profit to the dairymen should not exceed 5c per quart which would make the cost at the dairy. ready for delivery, 14c per quart.
 If the postal facilities of trans portation were organized equipped: an dutilzed between the hours of twelve, midnight and seven A. M., exactly as they are now, so organ ized and functioned between ' A. M. and 3 P. M., the milk could be de- lievered at the doorstep of every

The postage or freight rate, un- like the laws of the Medes and Per sians, can be changed, and classified so that the perishable food would be carried at one rate, semi perishable food at another; and non -perisha ble at still another.
 Such rates, while approximately renumerative, would be largely gov erned by the celerity with which movement would have to be accom- plished and the value of the article conveyed.
 It is safe to assume that the Aemr- lcan people have invested eleven bill lions of odllars in highways at this time.
 It is also reasonable to believe that the depreciation or upkeep should approximate ten per cent an nuaily of the amount invested in such property.
 Therefore, the nation, which in cludes the Federal Government, the State, County, City and Township should set aside one billion dollars annaully for the up-keep or main- tenace of the highways within its borders.
 Yet, it is doubtful if all Federal State and County expenditures com bined will this year amount to five hundred million dollars, and, conse- quently it would appear that with all the intense interest in the good roads movement, we do not provide the funds wherewith to maintain the value of our original investment. Annornnfly 1rhan tho EoIo ernment entered into the construc- tion and improvement of highways and the States participated with the Federal Government for the same purpose, many townships and towns immediately ceased to concern them selves with the conditions of the roads. Therefore, the suggestion above mentioned may solve this pro- blem
 Utilizing the only available or ganized system of complete convey ance in existence today, one that is already performing it's function as an instrument tality of transportation and distribution everywhere and the one system that eXacts the same postage or freight rate from every patron everywhere and that rate cal Culdte OI DdSlS Ol the cost or operation including construction and mainttenace of road bed used by the system, would seem to contain such logical merit as to warrant trial if not immediate adoption.
 Should the postal facilities of transportation and distribution be enlarged and the equipment thereof be increased, it does not follow that the value of the service performed by the postal establishment would be confined solely to the postal rev enues, but the service would be of special benefit to the postal patron, (the consumer of foodstuffs trans ported by the service), in that food thus transported might in some in stances be carried at a loss but would be delivered at cost to the consumer that would be consider ably below the prevailing minimum market price at which the patron could purchase the same article un- der present methods of transporta tion an ddistribution, and to this end, I submit:

ner in which it is now moved treat ing it in exactly the same name, in which it is no wtreated, but de livering it by parcel post at the dool of the consumer, should result in a saving to the consumer of milk, IT New York City, of not less than it per quart, which would eventually amount to a tremendous sum in tn, aggregate. when it is recognized that there are thousands upon thousands of quarts of milk consumed in the city of New oYrk daily.

consumer thereof, at approximately 15c per quart, which would be Gc be- low the prevailing market price.
 Inasmuch as it is desirable, in fact necessary, that the production of milk be increased, or that more producers thereof engage in the pro- duction of milk, the farmer-produce in New York State should be en- couraged, by giving him from | to 2e per quart more for the production than he now receives.
