Of revenue from traffic handled by
them jointly with other railroads OF
the country was announced TODAY b,
the Interstate Commerce Commission

An attempt was begun several
months ago by the New England roads
to secure the desired increased divis.

by other carriers, the commission re.
ferred the matter to committees on the
roads concerned for adjustment. This
method failed to secure results and the

SEVERE DAMAGE TO CROPS
Grain Fields Laid Flat and Ears

Growing Corn
SEVERE DAMAGE TO CROPS

Bennington village and immediate
vicinity escaped the worst effects OF
the hail storm Sunday afternoon but
a large amount of damage to growing
crops and gardens resulted In Sec
tions to the south and vest. The hail
was preceded by an electrical storm
during which rain fell in sheets Au.
tomobile parties that were unable to
reach shelter were drenched, as ordi.
nary curtains did not afford full pro-
lection against the rain which was
driven ahead OF stiff west wind.
The center OF the storm was ap-
parently west and south of Benning-
ton. Automobilists who drove over
the road to Pownal after the storm
found the side hills in open pastures
covered with hail to a depth of an
inch or more in sheltered spots so
that the country looked as though 1t
had been visited by dirty snow
storm.
Corn apparently suffered more
than any other crop, Many fields
were laid almost fiat by the force Of
the storm and in some instances the
leaves and small ears were literally
torn from the stalks. Gardens were
likewise damaged. The travelled high
way was found Uttered with leaves
that had been cut from the trees by
the little pellets Of ice, some OF
which were as large as hickory nuts.
w. F.. Waters, who several years
ago purchased the farm at Gardner
crossing, estimates that his crops
have been damaged to the extent of
thousand dollars. Not only was the
corn on his property ruined but oats
and buckwheat we're badly damaged.
The celter OF the storm seems to
have passed directly over his farm
AT the Tudor farm not only was the
corn damaged but havoc was wrought
in the garden. so severe was the Rail
that cucumbers were cut to shreds
and THE foliage was torn from spoIed
beans and other produce. ~ n
O. Parties that motored into Hoosick
after the storm reported similar con-
ditiOns in that section, especially as
regards the damage created to corn.
With the coming of the hail the
temperature, which had been running
between so and 80 degrees and higher
for weeks began to drop rapidly The
mercury continued to descend during
the night and this morning registered
as low as so.

ing seh t'
Mr., Feeley, who has recently been
placed on the street Job here EXPERT
mehted to show what he could do and
has shown a so per cent saving. The
mayor talked with several members
OF the Board of Aldermen and promin-
ent business men and after present.
ing the figures these men were favor.
able to the plan.
Mr.. Feeley says that to adopt this
policy would mean a saving to the city
of from 90 to 30 per cent and that IL
the plan goes through, with the many
experienced men here who are out Of
work. the steady jobs will go to them
rather than to the men imported from
the larger cities by the contractors.
The Department of Public Works
already has the basic equipment nee
essary," said the superintendent to a
representative. "The only piece of
machinery that is important that we
lack is a cement mixer and part OF
the saving on the first big job will
more than pay for that" h
Mr.. Feeley pointed out that in the
construction OF bridges IN Rutland un!
der practica ly the same conditions ne
has been able to build for less than
half the price charged by contractors.
The following figures are used to
show this. The department has Just
completed the construction of
bridge over brook here containing
IS cubic yards of concrete at a total
cost of S1162,6S. a similar bridge with
"A 10 cubic yards of concrete, con-
structed almost under identical con-
ditions, but built by contractors, has
cost the city s2S63 or more than
double.
The Commissioner says that under
the present conditions the city of Rut-
land or any city In the state has to do
a complete engineering Job on any
piece OF work contemplated. To
make sound contract the contrac.
tors must practically duplicate the
engineering work. In addition they
must give a bond which practically
amounts to three per cent. Then the
city has to inspect to check up on
the honesty OF the contractor and his
employees. All this Is overhead

SEVERAL FEATURE PLAYS
Miners Daring Steal from Third
Started Fireworks in the
Fourth Inning.

Bennington won the first game Of
the series with North Bennington Sat
urday afternoon by score of to 4.
The game was played at Morgan park
in the presence Of one of the largest,
II not the largest, crowds OF the sea-
son and furnished more real excite
ment than any game in a number OF
years. There was good delegation
of fans from North Bennington pres
ent to see their team go down to de-
feat.
The game was crowded with action
from start to finish There was hard
ly an inning without runners of both
teams on bases and batters on both
teams hit the ball hard During the
first three innings 1t looked as though
North Bennington had the better Of
the argument In the second inning
the North Bennington outfit on two
safe hits and three infeld errors col.
lected three runs, fairly good lead.
During the first four innings Deitz
held Bennington to two hits and Whit
fed five batters. He had good control
and fast ball when he cared to use
1t.
Bennington got into the game" in
the fourth when Miner, who had hit
safely, stolen second and reached
third on an error, stole home. The
play brought the crowd to its feet and
put lot of pep" into the home
team. In the fifth the Bennington bat
ters hit Deitz for five punched
singles, the North village inheld
"blew ZIP and Bennington scored
seven runs. 1t was an entire ball
game crowded into one inning and
furnished more. excitement than a
circus.
Outside OF the fifth inning, the
game produced some first class base
ball. Burns pitched 4 better game
than Deitz in that he kept the hits
more evenly distributed. II North
Bennington could have eliminated the
tragedy in the fifth inning the game
would have been a close contest. If
not so interesting. tr.. 80 ami
Scott played an exceptional game
at first. Some OF the thrown balls that
came to him from the inheld were
wild but he took everything that it
was possible to reach. Prindle. in
center field, had an opportunity to
once more show the remarkable speed
that used to thrill the grandstand in
the days OF the old Berkshire
league. He went almost to the fence
for one fly ball and gloyed it safely
while going at top speed. The score:
