Everyone has heard of the great

Lockwood Park Bids Fair
To Become Reality Soon

Work has begun leveling the land
Of Lockwood park. Thus a plot of
ground which has been an "eye-
sore for many years is to become a
beauty spot and oe that will be a
pleasure to tourists as they enter
Waterville.
1t was Hon. Sherman L. Berry who
number of years ago began the
agitation for the purchase by the city
of the land which was the site of the
Abraham Joseph block. after the same
had been partly destroyed by fire. 1t
was realized that if new construction
was built on the site it would be an
other generation before anything
could be done about the matter
The Lockwood Co. was willing to
denote their part of the land for park
purposes provided that the Andres
coggin & kennebec railway would
run it's line up Lockwood street in
stead of Bridge street.
Then came the war, which brought
things to standstill, after the city
had acquired it's part of the land.
Mr.. Berry brought the matter to
the situation of each succeeding
mayor, and this spring once more
laid the matter before a city execu-
tive, this time Mayor Leon o. Teb-
belts. MIR. Tebbetts was at once i'm
pressed with the merits of the propo-
sition. which as a private citizen he
had known a great deal about, and
the plan was once more put under
way.
A contract was drawn up between
all the parties concerned, by which
the land must be used only for park
purposes forever. The Lockwood Co,
a few weeks ago sold off the houses
to the parties occupying them and
they were torn down and the lum-
Der and other material moved away
One Of the houses was the historical
Dalton house. built by Moses Dalton
about 1890, which was the oldest
house in Waterville. 1t seemed a
pity to tear down the ancient land
mark, but it was never thing of
beauty and its usefulness had long
since declined. After it was torn
down City Engineer Eugene w. Craw-
ford in looking over the debris found
some of the hand-forged nails with
which the building had been origi-
nally constructed.
The park will be a great addition
to that section of the city

80 HORSEPOWER FIRE TRUCK
ARRIVES IN CITY TO COMPLETE
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT

OFFENDERS. The bore is s "a inches
and the stroke inches, it has a worm
drive on the rear axle The truck is
an extremely beautiful piece of ap-
paratus. 1t was shipped from In
dianapolis, Sept. %, and was is days
reaching Portland, which is about
the usual time. The trip from Port
land was uneventful except that in
Augusta it had to be driven over a
lot of newly laid tar and Mr.. Myers
was busily engaged in cleaning the
machine and putting it in sphinx and
span condition Wednesday afternoon
to be inspected by the city officials.
Mr.. Myers will give the truck
complete workout and then will come
the, official demonstration. He plans
to remain in the city until the cen
trail station drivers are thoroughly
familiar with the apparatus. We'd
nesday afternoon they had complete
ly mastered the mechanism of the
siren horn on the truck.
Apropos of the tendency shown by
some local citizens to get in the way
of apparatus on their way to fires,
Mr.. Myers told a cheerful little tale
of an Irish fire chief with whom he
was riding one day. The alarm
sounded and the chief was anxious
to get to the fire. The street was
narrow and ahead was a jitney bus
loaded with passengers. 1t was vim
ter and there was lot of snow in
the street and the driver refused to
turn out. Finally, when an oppor-
tunity offered to pass, the jitney the
chief was so mad he had forgotten
all about the fire. He stopped his
car. jumped out. yanked the driver
off his seat and landed on him about
four times with each fist.
Report yourself in police court
at eight O'Clock tomorrow morning"
he told the driver, and then with
no more instructions ahead of him,
tore away to the scene of the blaze.
Mr. Myers advises the Central sta
ton drivers not TO favor the populace
with the sound of the sirene unless
actually going to a fire and then
there will be no excuse for getting
in the way of Waterville's new piece
of fire apparatus. The list price of
the truck is $4,000.

Harding Would
Better Conditions
Railroad Workers

Detroit. Oct. 4.-President Harding
believes that the railroad worker is of
such importance that his wages and
the conditions under which he works
should be such as to make his employ
ment so attractive that strikes will be
impossible. Secretary Davis of the Ia
Dor department declared here today in
addressing the convention of United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and Railway Shop I.aborers.
He advocated n saving wage" for the
American worker.
more and More American employ
crs are seeking the wisdom of the saw
ing wage" he continued. This wage
principle promotes happiness and con-
tentment in the workman's home and
increases the buying power of the
great mass Of American wage earners
upon whom we depend to buy great
part of our great industrial output.
The president has voiced his views
thus: THE wor..men's lowest wlge
must be enough to make him house
home: enough to insure that the strug-
gle for existence shall not crowd out
the tnlnsS worth existing Tor
United organized labor has always

leaders, however, violence does occa-
sionilly brca.: forth"

much strife, too much bloodshed. La
Dor must be ever alert to prevent

There was bruise over the right
eye and marks on the neck, but
nothing to indicate their origin

the case might prove to be one of
murder, or of carefully arranged
suicide. The marks. he said, might
have been caused by the body strk-
