Autos Collide at
Bad Corner

What came near being a serious
automobile accident occurred Mon
day afternoon about 8 o'clock at the
corner of High and Oak streets, when
a Ford car. driven by Ralph Witham
of Rome collided with a Buick tour
ing car, driven by Delbert Decker. In
the Buick touring car were, Mr.. and
Mrs. Decker, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Farren and two children. The car
was coming up Pleasant street head
ed toward High street and as they
approached the corner, it was neces-
sary to increase the speed in order to
climb the hill.
Ralph Witham of Rome was COM
ing down Oak street at the same time
and did not see the Decker car and
the two collided. The Buick car
turned over pinning the occupants
beneath it. Several spectators ar
rived at the scene Of the disaster and
the victims were taken into the resi-
dence of Mrs. Lizzie Ellis at the foot
of High street.
DR.. E. P. Williams was called and
examined the party and found that
Mr.. Decker was cut and bruised
about the face and Mrs. Farren ana
Mrs. Decker had also received minor
injuries. Both cars were badly DAM
aged; the rear door, hind wheel. top
and wind shield of the Buick car were
completely demolished and the steer
ing gear and forward wheel OF the
Ford car also badly damaged.
No blame was attached to either OF
the drivers, as 1t Is considered to be
a blind corner and was the scene of
an automobile accident last year.

Old Cathedral Falling In Ruins

The famous old st. Stephens
Cathedral, one of the most beautiful
monuments of Gothic architecture
is threatened by dilapidation be-
cause the funds for indispensable
repairs are lacking Mr.. KRISTEN
the architect, who has supervision
of the building, says that sum OF
S0,000.000 paper crowns, or $1100
would suffice to carry out the most
necessary repairs in 1929, in view OF
the precarious financial position OF
the state and the stopping of bank
note printing 1t is still more than
doubtful where the money is to come
from.
In peace times the yearly budget
for the ordinary repairs was $4,000
gold crowns, which were partly con-
tributed from the private purse OF
the Emperor and partly from the
"Dombauverein," a private organiZa
ton for church building. Both
sources are now dried up.
The 100000 in question are only
about one-teLth of the sums spent
on restoration work before the war.
Yet they would be enough to stop
the progress to decay. In the few
years since the revolution the gov
eminent and the municipality of
Vienna did what they could to carry
on renovation work on very small
scale, but the means which were at
their disposal are now exhausted.
Mr.. KRISTEN plans to make an ap-
peal to the population Of the city for
private contributions.

LEGION TABLET
COMMITTEE talk
ON FINANCING IT

Monday evening in the Legion
rooms the committee on the tablet
to be set up to the soldiers of the
world war met and discussed mat
ters of interest in connection with
the financing and placing of the tab
let. Mr.. Charles HedAck is chair
man of this committee and Charles
Shepherd. The contract for the
monument was let some time ago to
Raymond Gray of Granite Hill for
$67O. So far $430 of this sum has
been definitely pledged. 1t was de-
cided that Saturday of this week the
Boy Scouts should set out collecting
the pledges they obtained last
spring. Each boy will have the
same route and the same list of peo-
pie that he had in the spring. 1t is
hoped to reach many others who did
not have the opportunity to pledge
earlier. The memorial is to be
placed on the land at City Hall. The
cannon now there will be moved
slightly and placed at an angle to
make room for the tablet. There
will be special dedication exercises
Armistice Day. The amounts COL
lected will be turned in to the treas
urer and announced through the
press from day to day.
