assured the truck owners that this
was not so. They had made no
decision.
The general opinion of al operators
was that in bad seasons, such as
when the frost is coming out of the
ground in the spring. all truck traffic
should be barred from the roads and
that the roads should be closed from
time to time as necessity demanded
rather than n sweeping closing order
such as had been rnmored.
They also contcnded that the small
one ton trucks should be barred as
we'll as the big ones. az the little
trucks did just as much damage as
he big ones. This was borne out by
statement made by Chief Engineer
Sargent of the Highway commission.

sion.

Public Utilities on Death of
A. l.. Walton at So. Gardiner

A decision was rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission Thurs
day in the matter of the accident
on the premises Of the Maine Cen
trail Railroad Co. at South Gardiner
November last. which resulted in
the death of Almon l.. Walton. The
decision states that Mr.. Walton was
a trespasser upon the railroad tracks
and his death was the result of his
own negligence or careleSsness in be-
ing upon the track at that time and
not regarding the warnings which
were given him.
"Almon l.. Walton. aged 53 years.
of I.iNermore Falls. was struck by
Maine Central Extra Freight No.

the day of the accident. and as the
train approached South Gardiner.
the engineer noticed a man walking
on the track about 1000 feet ahead
of the train" continues the decision.
"The engineer had just whistled
for the station crossing and when
he saw the man he gave several
warning blasts of the whistle. and a
fence crew working near by also saw
the man and shouted to him to get
off the track. Apparently he did
not see or hear the train and he did
not hear or heed the warning whis-
tie or the warning shouts. and be-
fore the train could be stopped, it
struck the man and threw him out
on the right hand side of the train.
"A letter or tag found in his
pocket indicated that his name was
A. l.. Walton and it was afterwards
ascertained that the man was AL

as quickly as possible and the man
was picked up and arrangements
were being made to send him to the

Canadian Pennies
Appear in Bangor

Bangor, Dec. 1.-Canadian pennies
are beginning to circulate in this
city. where the money of dominion to
the north is taboo on account of the
high rate of discount. The new PEN
MES are identical in size with the
American coin of the same value and
can only be detected by close scrut1-
my, whereas the old copper bung-
down which was bigger than a quar-
ter was quickly forced from circula-
ton when the discount went into eff
feet.
The new coin. which very closely
resembles the Lincoln penny. will
doubtless become quite common here,
as there is considerable trade be-
tween the border communities where
it is received without question. and
