MONTPELIER
Capital City Gas Co. Presents Figures
to City Council.

The Montpelier city council held
| special meeting Tuesday evening at
which the representatives of the Capi.
tai City Gas Co. appeared and ex'
pressed willingness to show the coun-
ell data for which the council had been
waiting since May Is, and which the
public service commission wrote the
chairman of the committee, to whom
the, matter was referred, that it had
been unable to get. 1t appears that re-
Gently the reports were filed with the
commission but the clerk of the COM
mission had forgotten the written
promise to furnish the council with
a copy of these; thus the matter had
been delayed.
The company produced copies of
these records The company claimed
upon the Increased cost of operating
in 1920 that it needed the 50.cent serv-
ice charge, which the company had
asked for and in some instances had
been collecting although many had re,
ported they were not paying the
charge, including some members of the
council
The council in August voted not to
allow the service charge because it did
not comply with the franchise; but the
company continued to collect it with
the result that they were asked to
show cause Tuesday evening why
they did not comply with the fran
chise, and the matter is held in abey
ance until Oct. 81, which is the end of
their fiscal year, so that more com
plete figures can be secured as a basis
upon which the council can work. The
council appears to be opposed to the
service charge. While the reports to
the public service commission show a
good dividend it is not any. more than
a person would expect in private bust
ness like the rental of house, etc
This is covering the last three years
period. The company can increase its
rates quite a little without changing
the franchise.

BIG LANDSLIDE
BURYING TRACKS
Railroad Carting OF
5000 Tons a Day and Slide
Continues.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 19.-Damage
estimated by engineers to vary from ST.
600, 900 to S2,O00.00O will result from
the great slide of earth and stones which
for two weeks has been steadily moving
down the hillside to the down town pas
senger terminal of the Pennsylvania rail
road. Nine steam shOvels are working
day and night to move the earth and APP
proximately 5000 tons are sent out on
special trains every 24 hours.
The slide began when the city at
tempted to straighten curve in the
boulevard which follows the hillside high
above the railroad terminal and connects
the business section of the city with the
east and residence districts. Piling driven
into the hill failed to stop the movement
and within a day or two a railroad yard
building in the path of the slide was
buried.
Later two main and six other tracks
leading into the terminal were lost in
spite of the desperate efforts of the en-
gineers and large forces of wOrkmen.
The slide which moved at the rate of
about one foot an hour has reached a
point where it was necessary today for
the railroad company to dctour all trains
on one division, while suburban service
was greatly curtailed.

$4,000 FIRE LOSS
IN WEST VILLAGE
House on Old Pettee Stock
Farm Destroyed Last
Evening
BARNS SAVED BY
WORK OF NEIGHBORS
Cause of Fire Is Mystery-NObOdy at
Home When Flames Broke Out About
S-PrOperty Bought Recently by Her.
bert Bowen of Chester, Pa.

Fire at the so-called Pettee stock
farm, about two miles west of West
Brattleboro village, last night destroyed
the residence and contents, causing a
loss of about $4,000. The cause of the
sured for $1,000. The large barns were
saved, as the wind was favorable and
the burning building was separated from
the barns by 25-foot space Another
favorable circumstance was that part of
the barn nearest the fire was not as high
as the rest. Even at that the barns
would have burned had it not been for
the work of persons who were attracted
to the fire, as the end nearest the fire
became extremely hot and would have
burst into flames but for the use of a
fire eXtinguisher.
The farm is owned by Herbert Bowen,
formerly of Chester, Pa, who bought
it only a few weeks ago of the o. ID.
Parker estate of South Londonderry
through the Brattleboro Trust Co. Mr..
Bowen's wife is dead and he and his
two sons moved to the place about six
weeks ago and did their own housekeep-
ing. They had quantity OF excellent
furniture. The house was two and a
half stories high, with ell part.
Mr.. Bowen has been away, and early
last evening the sons went away for the
evening by automobile. They did not
know until they returned late at night
that the house had been destroyed.
About $ o'clock Miss Marion Fits,
daughter of Edward A. Fits, who lives
in the next house beyond the Pettee
farm on the Marlboro road, on the for
mer Isaac Robb place, saw a fire in the
Bowen house and notified her sister.
Alice, who telephoned to the village that
the house was on fire. Emery T. Miller,
farmer who lives farther up the Marl-
boro road, was passing the place about
that time and saw the fire. He could
not open the door and so broke in a win
dow with the idea of getting out some
Of the furniture, but the flames drove
him back.
No tire-fghting apparatus was avail
able. and could not have saved the build
ing if it had been. but the telephone
alarm and the illumination of the sky
soon attracted number of persons. but
there was nothing they could do to pre-
vent total loss of the house. They did
good work, however, in saving the barns.
Mr.. Bowen having come to the place
SO recently he had but little stock in the
barns.
The Pettee stock farm formerly was a
widely known farm, where high blooded
horses were bred. \ quarter-mile track
was maintained on the south side of the
road, while the farm buildings were on
the north side. The proprietor was the
late Lyman +. pettee of New York, son
of the late DR.. \. l.. Pettee of Whining
ton. Mr.. pettee built an addition to the
house. making about 20 rooms in all.
For the past several years the farm has
not been kept up as it formerly was,
and has had numerous tenants. 1t has
not much pastuage or woodland.

Wellman they were taken to Wardsboro

Bellows Falls municipal court.

berry that the younger man addressed
the other as father. was summoned to
Wardsboro without being told of the fact
of the arrest of the two men. While
she was waiting the younger man was
asked to take a chair in the room where
she was. and Mrs. Wilder became very
much agitated and said she could not re-
main in the room because the young man
was one of those who attempted to rob
her in her home.
Later the older man was taken before
