Three Automobiles in
Early Morning Pile-Up
on Bond Brook Road

Three automobiles all coming to-
ward Augusta were mixed up in
bad pile-up on the Bond Brook road
about 12o0 Saturday morning, which
resulted in considerable damage to
the cars, but fortunately none of
the several drivers or passengers
were injured. A Buick touring car
of New Hampshire registry. owned
and driven by O. w. Priest, was
proceeding toward Augusta, when
at a point this side of the Coombs
Mills bridges. it was crashed into
from the rear by a Franklin sedan,
driven by p. j. Kellogg of Halo
well, resulting in considerable dam
age to the rear of the New Hamp-
shire car and to the front of the
kellogg machine. Just what caused
the accident, it was impossible to
determine.
-, While the New Hampshire ma
chine was at a standstill on the
right side of the highway, just after
the collision. and the Franklin sedan
partly in the road and partly in the
ditch at the left, WHY'S Knight
touring car operated by Omar Nach-
on of 81 Northern avenue approach
ed the scene. proceeding IN the
same direction. Mr.. Nachon saw
the Buick car at the right OF the
road. but failed to see the Franklin
which had no light. at the left side.
and in turning out to pass the Buick.
crashed into the Franklin from the
side and rear.
The scene of the accident was in
vestigated by Officer Bowker of the
Augusta police. but as the several
owners showed an inclination to set
tie the damages amicably and by ar
bitration, it was not necessary to
bring any of those concerned to Au-
gllSta.

Definite Findings
Railroad Survey To
Be Given Public

Chicago, Sept. 8 "a. P.)-Deinite
findings in a survey of what he states
are the three most pressing railway
questions before the public will be
ready to be presented to the people
before the time Of the presidential
conventions next summer, it was an
nounced today by DR.. David Friday.
former president of Michigan Agri-
cultural college, director of the re-
search council of the National Trans
portation Institute.
DR.. Friday declared that govern
ment ownership, railway valuation
and 'watered stock" and freight
rates are urgent problems on which
the public must be enabled to form
decisions within the next nine
months. Congress will attack vital
railway legislation this winter, he as
serted, while government ownership,
he believes, is likely to be an issue in
tn presidential campaign of 1924.
These railroad questions have
been divided by the research council
into seven subjects of research" DR..
Friday stated Upon them the public
is altogether unprepared to judge. 1t
is of the highest Importance that
agitation. be made in time to provide
reliable data for our future railroad
program"
The seven subjects for research
are:
Study of railway rates with refer
ence to amount invested in roads: ef-
fects of transportation costs on
prices. especially of farm products;
distribution of freight rates on the
geographical distribution of industry;
relative efficiency of private and gov
eminent owned roads; relation of in
vestment in railroad securities to val
lie Of properties; study and review OF
Interstate Commerce Commission
valuation of roads.
Freight rates and the growth of
transportation costs as compared
with the general price level are press
ing problems" DR.. Friday declared.
1.-The public has a complex problem
on the whole subject of watered
stock. The amounts involved will be
definitely determined and set forth in
dollars and cents. The Institute will
attemDt to substitute a clear under
standing for blind prejudice which
now exists on a little understood
subject.
CAS- there probably will be no leg
islative proposals to exclude increase
in land values from the Interstate
Commerce Commission valuation of
we propose that the coun-
Gil determine what amounts were in
Guided for land donated to the
roads for lands purchased by the
roads. and the original cost Of those
purchased lands. The public then
could compare the amounts involved
with the increases in value of farm
lands and city real estate.
an addition to these tremendous
problems 1t is my opinion that the
country will in the near future be
called upon to decide whether our
railroads shall continue under private
ownership and management or
whether we shall have government
ownership and operation. 1t seems
not unlikely at this time that the po-
litical campaign Of 1924 will be fought
largely upon. this issue"

WHAT suPER-PoWER MEANS

Governors of states interested in
larger electric power production,
such as the great Colorado river pro-
ject affecting irrigation and electrifi-
cation in five states are to hold a
conference.
Electricity, entirely under public
regulations, costs less today than in
1914. Super power, the next extern
sion of our central station principle,
will further cheaper it. A million
new users were won last year.
Our electrical investment is over
five billions and owned by nearly
two million people, who put in last
year $3.50, 100000 more. The splen-
did plan of super power, now in part
realized in sections Of the South, the
Pacific Coast, and the Middle West,
will mean still more billions for
power stations and transmission
lines.
Dividends and interests on these
billions must be paid, to keep money
flowing into the new system. But
SUPER power will more than pay its
way in cheaper current and new SER
vices for home, farm, and factory.
Engineering obstacles have been
overcome, but not the political and
legislative obstacles. State laws
must be harmonized and bettered to
clear the way.

A COSTLY EXPERIENCE

Another community has witnessed
the paralyZing effect Of suspension
of its trolley car service.
The Public Service Company of
Newark, New Jersey, which serves
145 municipalities in it's territory,
has through a combination of cir
cumstances, the principal among
which was jitney bus competition,
been forced to suspend operation
pending the working out of new
wage agreements and schedule OF
fares.
Only when a traction company is
forced to the etremity of suspending
operation does the public begin to
realize the advantages and necessity
of regular trolley car transportation.
Transportation by jitney buses in
thickyl populated communities today
creates a congestion of traffic that
endangers the lives of not only those
riding in the busses, but of every
pedestrian and horse drawn vehicle
that has to use the streets.
A traction tie-up is costly ex-
perience fer any city but each one
emphasizes the advantage of the
modern electric transportation sys-
tenn.
