Mr.. THOMAS A. EDIsON's statement:

Your plan Of Good Roads Week. &c May y, u Ito to
the United States of the practcabty of your Ship by
Truck movement, should have great and farreaching
effects. One Of the vexng questions Of today is trans
portation Railroads arc burdened to the breaking
point and are unable with inadequate rolling stock to
promptly meet the demands of shippers. To combat
the hgh-cost Of living the call is going for more
and more production. What will become Of the pre-
small percentage to their present outputs they newt
ably will do to meet the call Of the Nation.
Some means must be found to help the railroads
that trucks are not economical for very long hau but
for short hauls the truck is the efficient instrument
hand But to get the trucks greatest efficiency there
must be good roads. Good roads will not come with
out wel-laid, comprehensive plan which appeals to
the country at large, and powerful and concerted
effort behind that plan. The Good Roads Week you
propose will focus the attention of millions the vital
necessity Of better transportation. Yours very truly,

SAMUEL REA, President of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, says:
81 am glad to take this opportunity to express my
view that it is important in the development OF
the motor truck for transportation purposes that there
should be cooperation with the rail carriers, rather than
competition. Without doubt, there is field where
movement by rail carrier is not economical and where
the service could better be performed by motor trucks,
but the other hand any attempt to compete IN the
longer hauls with rail carriers under normal conditions
is, in my Judgment, uneconomlc and unwlsc.
By conferences the interests of both parties be
studied and conserved and the extension OF the motor
truck develop territory not served by rail- or for
short-haul and intracity movements can, | believe,
proceed with advantage both to the rail carriers and the
motor truck interests while, the other hand, if the
energies of the truck interests devoted the
placing of competing lines to take traffic tor the longer
haus which have been developed by the rail carriers, it
would result real increase facilities, but IN
petition which would only be harmful to both interests

But Newport is honored by the pres
ence of a guest for a few days who
will reach the age of 90 years if she

Ambulance Struck by Auto

Undertaken B. S. Curtis while
returning home Sunday evening from
a call to Coventry, with the ambu-
lance, was struck by a passing auto
which came very near being of a
serious nature. The accident occurred
on the Coventry road this side of
the Putney farm. The car which he
saw approaching was travelling at a
high rate of speed Mr.. Curtis gave
them all the road he could and stopped
his car for them to pass, but they
failed to clear striking the hub cap
OF the front wheel and at the same
time cutting hole through the tire
and inner tube, it also sprung the
axle and did other damages to the
engine. That the ambulance was not
overturned was mystery The col
lision not only inflicted heavy dam
ages to the ambulance but put one
of Mr.. Curtis's shoulders out of joint.
and he is obliged to carry one arm in
a sling.
The party in the auto who did
the damage failed to stop and in the
darkness Mr.. Curtis was unable to get
their car number. He phoned to
Newport and a car was sent and
brought Mr.. Curtis to his home where
he was attended by Dr. Longe. and the
ambulance was brought to the Lawson
garage where it was repaired on Mon
day and ready for use again.

New Boats on Memphremagog.

Captain j. 0. Reed, who was in the
city the last of September to inter
est the citizens in The Magog and
Newport Steam Navigation CO., with
the proposition to build one or more
boats TO ply on the waters of Lake
Memphremagog was here last week
and further consulted tine business
men as to the plans and purposes of
the new company.
The Magog and Newport Steam
Navigation Co. Limited, which has
already been organized and chartered
July 9th, 1920, is capitalized for
500 600, divided into 200 shares of
S1oO each. $4,000 of this amount
has been guaranteed by Montreal
men. Capt. Reed is president and
general manager of the company and
has been sent here, also to Magog. to
see what interest can be developed
among the business men of the two
main points of landing, and which
places are to derive the greatest
benefits
The citizens of Magog have promised
their support and will match any
amount of stock in the company that
Newport will take. The plan of the
company is to supply the lake with
suitable boats, not only to take care
of the present conditions, but to in
crease the number TO care for future
developments. They want two boats
to begin with. The cost of building
a boat such as Capt. Reed plans is
in the vicinity of $4,000. When
such a boat has been placed on the
lake, it will need in the vicinity of
$4,000 more to place the wharves,
where the boat is to land in suitable
condition. Capt. Reed came here
with the highest recommends of bank
ers and business men, who know him
and with whom he has been associ-
ated. He has been captain of the
steamer Woburn, on Lake Megantic,
Que, for three years, and has built
up successful business on boat line
which at the time he took it over
was not paying its way.
