Whatever we can do. we will do

The possibility Of adding several
new lanes to the three already in OPP
Grafton at the Augusta Y. NJ. c. A. is
being discussed thoroughly by the
h"~ling fans Of this city and several
different plans have been talked ove:'
This matter was brought up at the
annual meeting of the Y. NJ. c. a. and
at later meeting Of the board Of
trustees and the board of directors a
committee consisting of Harris S.
Woodman, Wilton o. Dean. Thomas
c.. Ingraham and Blaine S. Owen, was
appointed to look into the matter.
The committee has considered sew
eral plans among which was that of
removing several partitions inside
the Y. NJ. c. A. and building two or
three new alleys by the side of those
now installed. Because of the great
expense of changing these partitions
and the necessity of cutting away
some of the structural iron and pro-
viding proper support for the frame
of the building which would thus be
disturbed. this plan was not consider
Ell feasible. a plan which seems to
meet with the approval of many who
hear of it is now under consideration
by the committee. The plan briefly
stated is to eXcavate on the west side
Of the building between the wall of
the main building and the side walk
OH State street, and place four new
alleys running parallel with the west
wall of the Y. Nj. c. a. These alleys
would be located at SUCH a depth that
the structure housing them would not
come above the level OF the lawn
This would place the alleys about a
foot lawer than the present ones and
running at right angles to them.

Spectacular Fire
Damages State
Highway Truck

Fire starting from a broken gas
feed pipe and sparks from the ex-
haust on one of the big Nash Quad
trucks belonging to the State high
way department called the fire de-
partment and large crowd OF spec
tators to the junction of State and
Grove streets and Western avenue. at
about 1895 Tuesday forenoon. The
truck was being driven down Western
avenue and when at point directly
in the center OF the square by the
silent policeman, the driver suddenly
became aware that the car was
afiame beneath him. and hardly had
time 10 dismount before the seat was
ignited and the machine was in the
center of lcaping flames, fed from the
broken gas line.
In an EFFORT TO save the truck, an
alarm was rung in from box 81, and
the three pieces of motor apparatus
responded quickly. The use OF the
chemical had little effect on the gas
oline fire, and 1t was necessary to
string one line of hose and literal
ly drown out the blaze.
The gas tank on the truck was
wrecked. the seat and seat cushion
burned, and the top. over the seat
destroyed. The damage to the truck
through overheating Of parts of the
undergear In the terrific gasoline
flames, was considerable. but the
truck itself being largely of steel
construction was not badly damaged
and all can be reconditioned.

ny" HEADS DISCUSS PROPOSED
ENL ARCEMENT OF BOWLING ALLEY
TO MEET FAST GROWING DEMAND

In this way the Y q. C. A. would
have seven alleys, three Of which
could be used by transients and the
remaining four could accommodate two
matches at n time. Placed in this
way. the foundation of the building
would be disturbed but little. and the
present layout of the basement would
not be changed.
The Y. NJ. c. A. alleys are in great
demand and it has been found neces-
sary to make rules applicable to the
evening, governing the number Of
strings that shall be bowled by any
one person. so that ali may have a
chance. There are at the present
time four bowling leagues rolling on
these alleys. the City League with
six teams. the state House League
with ten teams, the Girls City League
with nine teams and the Gannett
League which includes several teams
With these and the large number of
individual bowlers and the matches
that the dormitory men put on from
time to time. the alleys are badly
overcrowded.
With the addition of four new al
leys. this congestion would be greatly
relieved and there is no doubt that
many others would take ADVANTAGE of
the opportunity to use the alleys. This
would also be responsible for IN
creasing the membership of the Y. M.
c. A., which in itself IS desirable.
Bowling fans in Augusta are great
~ interested in the proposed addi-
ton TO the number of alleys and
would welcome with joy the opening
of several new ones which would thus
give ali chance to bowl to their
hearts content.
