NO MORE PARKING
NEAR HYDRANTS
Commissioners Mark Areas from Which
Automobiles Are Barred-Cross-
ing Points Also Marked.

The village commissioners are out to
aid the blue law advocates in white
washing the town. at least the appear
ance of Main street would so indicate
to the casual observer But to this the
strongest anti-blue law advocate cannot
object.
Last night white pain stripes foot
wide were painted on the sidewalks six
feet from each fire hydrant on both sides
to mark the area barred to parking auto
mobilistS. This precautiOn was found
necessary since for some time past au-
tomobilistS have been rather careless
about parking their cars in front of fire
hydrants in position to lessen the eff
cheney of the fire department in case of
fire.
White paint also marks the areas at
the functions of streets where pedestrians
should cross. NO parking signs also
have been placed for auto drivers who are
unable to see the white stripes any more
than they were able to see the hydrants
in days gone by.

CONGRESSIONAL
MEDAL OF HONOR
Awarded to r. w. O'Neill, Who Fought
% Germans Single Handed
and Killed Three.

NEW YORK, July G-Richard Will
liam o 'Neill of Westwood, \. j., stu
dent in the College of the City of New
York, and a son of John O'Nelll OF 3o4
West Hath street, received notice from
the war department in Washington yes
terday he had been awarded the con
gresslonal medal of honor for consplc-
uous gallantry and intrepedity above
and beyond the call of duty during the
fighting on the Ourcq river on July 80,
1918, while serving as sergeant IN
Company b. l65th infantry, forty1second
division. aa.....
The exploit for which Sergeant
o Neil has received the highest decora-
tion of the American army is ranked by
Father Francis 7. Duffy, chaplain OF the
l65th, as one of the most heroic IN the
war annals of the regiment. The action
along the Ourcq, which eliminated in
the crossing of the river by the troops
of the l65th began on July 2S and ragged
violently for two days.
Early in the afternoon of July 80 Ser
geant O'Neill was sent by his platoon
commander in command of detail, with
instructions to clean out clump of
woods on the Meurcy farm, in the BoIs
Blue part of the Ourca sector. Sergeant
|O'Neill led his men into the woods IN
open formation, himself several yards
in advance of the other lntantrymen.
In the heart of the clump of trees he
came upon group of about 25 Ger
mans and opened fire on them with his
automatic pistol. Before the remainder
of his command could get up Sergeant
.O'Neill had killed three of the Germans
and had himself been shot seven times,
but the enemy was retiring when the
Americans came along.
Reinforcements came from the COM
rany headquarters under command of a
lieutenant, and Sergeant O'NeiIl was
ordered evacuated to the field dressing
station, but he refused to 90 until he
had turned his men over to his lieuten-
ant and had been taken To battalion
headquarters to give bis major informa
tion regarding enemy positions and
strength which he had obtained when
he surprised the detail of Germans.

RETRENCHMENT
Former Governor Tells Men of Essex
Junction of Great Increase In
State Expenses.

ESSEN JUNCTION, July Elm ex-
cess of Sl0O00.O00 viii be spent in the
state of Vermont in the IHxt two years.
if the various appropriations made by
the legislature and reaching that vast
sum are carried out as contemplated. F"
lhls information was given the Mems
club of this village last night by Ex-
GOV. Allen NJ. Fletcher of Cavendish
who as the guest of the club was the
was III hne spirits. His subject was
Economic Needs of Country and State
And Some Other Needs. He said he
did not intend to make a speech. that
hc was not given TO speechmaking, but
that he would Just talk on some mat
ters that appealed to him strongly.
The last legislature. - so he said,
passed appropriations bigger than ever
before in the history of the state. The
gross total is IN excess of $4,000 coo for
The biennial term, and | ask, what are
we coming to- In 1902, the first year
| was member of the legislature, the
total expenditure was 1872, 600. In 1926
it was S4,O9l,OO0. In 1902 the highway
expenditure was $4,000. In 1920 it
amounted to better than a million dol
lars. Upon the coordinate branches of
the legislature | place the responsibility
OF the great increase IN expenditures
and the time has now come when re-
trenchment must take place. The per
capita cost for conducting the affairs OF
he state has risen from $500 to Sll.60.'
The governor gave a few moments to
roads, and ended by saying: There is
no such thing as permanent high
way
Il don't know he said. that Yer
mont has a state policy for highways
If ii has, ii is unknown to me. When
governor | went to Washington and
down there they told me to go back
home and see to it that grades were
eliminated, curves Strengthened out
proper drainage maintained, and then
wait until more was known about
proper highway construction. | believe
i'm a Capitalization of power III connec-
tion with the management of the high
ways of the state. | am hopeful of re-
suits of the new order of things, but
if they do not come his eXcellency has
the power to remove his brother com
missioners. Think of eXpending 81 ,5G0,-
GEO year on the highways! If the
highway board doesn't coordinate, then
it should be changed -
Speaking about the governorship cam
paign to come, he said: 1t doesn't
matter so much who is your governor
for there are few men who can stand
the opposition they may meet on a pol
ICY not in favor BY the coordinate
branches of the legislature. Therefore
| believe that to put stop to those
excessive expenditures we must wage
an intensive campaign for representa-
tives and senators upon platform OF
retrenehment.'
Il believe" said the governor, that
a state that gives its name to an in
stitution of learning should support
that institution and that there should
be no duplication of effort. That was
my opinion when | was governor. and
it is my opinion today Under the guild
ing hand of the president of that in
stitution / am sure the appropriations
pended"

NOT TO BUY new
: TRUCK At PRESENT
MOtOr-Driyen Hook and
Ladder Apparatus Too
Expensive
SEVERAL OTHER
VILLAGE MATTERS
Fire Alarm system Not Working Salts
factOrily - Three Boxes Burned Out
by Lightning and One Is Sent Away
to BE Rebuilt.

Although authorized by the voters in
the annual village meeting to buy a
motor-driven hook and ladder truck, the
village commissioners have decided. after
giving the question careful consideration.
that the present price of motor-drfven
trucks is higher than they are justified
in paving. They have concluded, there
fore, not to buy a truck for the present.
At the village meeting, because of an
accident to the present horse-drawn hook
and ladder truck to fire at the ]. j..
Martin house on Linden street, the ques-
iton of buying new truck was brought
up and it was stated that the best makes
cost about $4,000 equipped Commits
sioner Gibson said that truck alone
would cost $1,000 to $4,000. On motion
OF ,. A. Richmond it was voted that the
commissioners buy a motor-driven truck
If, in their judgment, one could be bought
at reasonable price.
The commissioners find that truck
equipped as desired would cost approxi-
mately $4,000, and in view of the fact
that since the war the price of motor
driven fire trucks has not come down to
correspond with reductions in other mo
tor-driven vehicles they do not feel justi-
fed IN Enylng a new truck at this time
They will buy more ladders and better
equipment. however The old truck has
been repaired.
The commissioners think it would not
be safe to go through the winter with
out two pairs of horses. and in the sum
mer two pairs are needed. A motor
driven truck would require the services
| of an additional chauffeur The 4O-cent
tax voted at the village meeting did not
include an appropriation for truck.
Some trouble is still being experienced
with the fire alarm system. Three
boxes were burned out by lightning in
the last storms. One of these was so
| badly affected that it has been sent
away to be rebuilt. Alfred Darling. SUI
| Ipcrintendent of the fire alarm will re
/ pair the others. The fire alarm whistle
| at the Estey organ plant is not working
satisfactorily and an effort is being made
| to discover the reason. 1t is thought
possible that limbs of trees cause a
grounding of the wires. and for this rea-
son the trees are being trimmed.
On account of leaks in the roof of the
fire department headquarters it will be
necessary to make extensive repairs to
the present roofing or put on new roof
ing.
of Clark street the commissioners will
install another electric light on that
street,
The commissioners are considering the
adyiSability of furnishing additional traf-
tic protection for some of the outlying
sections of the village.
