Varied Answers to
Road QUESTIONABLE

Replies to the QUESTIONABLE sent
cut by Secretary Lester II. Greene
of Montpelier to members of the
Automobile Club Of Vermont show
a wide difference of opinion.
The questionnaire contains five
questions and members are asked
whether or not they favor: State
control of selected highways; in
crease fees for motor vehicles; use
Of d portion Of the monev so raised
in construction of state controlled
highways; and a gasoline tax.
Upwards of 500 replies have so
far been received and now are be-
ing tabulated. 1t will be some days
before the returns are all in.
On the subject of bonding, the
vote is likely to be closer than an
tIcipated, although there at pres
ent appears to be majority
against the proposition. Some
probable have not given the mat
ter of state aid or state controlled
highways much study. This one
would judge from the answers.
Some vote yes on the question
of state controlled roads and
would construct the same ont of
a "portion of the fees" but "no"
on giving revenue to build.
A Bellows Falls man wrote in
favor of state controlled road
"because in many towns the road
commissioners are politicians and
know nothing about the construct
ion or maintenance of roads.

TESTIMONY FOR
DEFENDANT IS
WELL UNDER WAY
DR.. J. M. Allen Expert
Witness In Hardwick
Malpractice Case

The testimony for the defendart I
in the Hardwick malpractice case
of Fred Richardson against DR.. G..
A. Garter was begun Monday af-
ternoon and is well under way.
The first witnesses were Cliff
ford Gregory and Frank Chase,
both of Hardwick. Both are
neighbors of Richardson, heard
the explosion on July 4th which
caused the accident TO the plain
tiff and both went to the scene OF
the accident and helped take the
injured man into the house.
Dr.. Carter, the defendant, testl-
fed to his treatment of this case
and his evidence tended to show
that he gave it the due considera-
I ton such cases required.
DR.. ]. NJ. Allen of st. Johnsbury
was on the stand much of the
time Monday afternoon and until
noon Tuesday. The general tend
ency Of his testimony was to the
effect that DR.. Carter's treatment
Of the case was up to the stand
ard and that cvcrythin" consider
cd the final result obtained in the
plaintiffs recovery was fully up to
the average in such cases.
Attorney J. Rolf Searles is fill
ling double role in the cast of
characters in this case. He is not
only the alert attornev for DR..
Carter and is putting up a strcnu-
Gus fight for his client, but is
serving as what might be desig
mated as Exhibit X in the case,
ana volunteers himself as an il
lustraton of any of the clinical
testimony in the case. For eX-
ample, when witnesses wanted to
show how Fred Richardson was
niled up on his lawn after the
Fourth of July bomb went off, or
how DR.. Carter Strengthened his
injured le~ after the accident, or
where on his anatomy injury snow
ed, Attorney Searles placed him
self prone upon the courtroom
floor and allowed the witness
use him to demonstrate to court
and jury the point in question.

Owing to the steadily increas-
ing popularity of the skating rinl;

Whistling singing, shouting,
loud talking during Sunday hours

The committee has received such
whole-hearted support from the
townspeoplc that they feel sure
the force of public opinion will
be strongly back of these neces-
sary rules. The rink is for every
one. No one persons eXagger-
atcd idea of personal liberty
should allow him to trespass up-
on the rights of others. The
rink committee and the caretakcr
are trying to make the Golden
Rule, a regular habit-"Do unto
others as you would have others
do unto you".
1t is the intention of thc Rink
