Hikers Are Lured By
Vermont Long Trail

Montpelier, VT, July S0-(PD-
Only the most hardy Of New Eng
land mountain climbers attempt the
journey over 1.-THE Long Trail that
stretches over the peaks Of the Green
Mountains from the Massachusetts,
line in to the Canadian border, so
when Irving Appleby. a Boston milk
salesman. covered the distance of
27S miles recently in II days and
five hours. he was condent that he
had set a record that would stand
for long time.
His feat has awakened new inter-
est in THE Long Trail" which has
a history dating back to Indian days
and is for the most part the final
result of linking up number of old
wilderness paths that had been used
by the redskins for years before the
coming of the white settlers.
The work of building the trail was
begun on small scale by lovers of
the mountains more than half a Gen.
in recent years by the Green Noun
tain Club. This organization, which
has a large membership OF men and
women, not only in Vermont, but
many other states, has established
convenience of mixers.
These cabins, which vary in size
according to the popularity of the
sites where they are located. the
largest having accommodate ions for
more than a score. contain stoves
and fireplaces, sleeping hunks, cook
ing utensils. dishes, axes and other
camp equipment, which mixers are
welcome to use.
AS a result, tramping through the
Green Mountains is gaining in popu-
larity each season. The Green
Mountain range extends almost
straight north and south the entire
length of western Vermont, with the
Connecticut valley on one side and
Lake Champlain on the other. From
the foothills at the south the range
rises gradually, reaching it's highest
altitude at Mt. Mansfield IN Stowe.
From all parts of the long trail
splendid scenery Is spread before the
hiker. At the southern exit entity lie
the Berkshire Hills in Massachusetts.
Farther north the view Is wider, and
from the summit OF Mt. Mansfield
a panorama is unfolded. extending to
the White Mountains to the east,
Lake Champlain and the Adiron-
dacks on the west and Canadian
lakes and hills to the north.
In planning his hike over 1.-THE
Long TRAIL" Appleby mapped out his
course for each day in advance and
arranged for supplies along the route.
He carried with him, in a pack that
he used in France as a captain in the
Canadian army, only essential ar
ticles of clothing, heavy blanket and
ground cloth and emergency rations.
He had allowed two weeks for the
journey. but by walking 16 hours q
day was able to finish ahead of
schedule, despite the fact that he
was caught in a storm that lasted
two days and swelled the Mountain
streams so that he had to fell trees
as bridges to cross some of them.

To Be Asked for Vote
On Park Bond Issue

Every citizens association in the

the proposed bond issue for the
purchase of school and park sites.
The proposition was voted down
last night at a public hearing be-
fore the law. and legislation and

Federation Of Citizens Association.
But in view of the importance Of
the question 1t was decided to send
notices to all constituent associa.

The majority of representatives
present at the hearing last night
remarked that Washington is now
one of the few big cities that is
debt free. and that 1t should remain
so.

Government and not by local tax.

Many of them declared that Wash

and several speakers commended that
more judicious spending OF school

held by a committee of the FEEDER

TAX Re VOL | IS
C0UNTERED
BY GIBSON

Threats OF i 'staxpayers' revolt, :"
made last night at a meeting or
representatives OF local citizens
organizations at the District build.
ing. will come In for considerable
attention by the House District
Committee after the holidays.
The meeting Is almost certain to
be aired IN the near future before
the Gibson subcommittee Of the
House District Committee. now In.
restigating affairs In the District.
This subcommittee already has
taken 10 the question of, local
bond issue. which was the subject
Of last nights meeting. and un-
doubtedIy will 70 into the matter
in more detail soon.
Representative Ernest w. Gibson.
OF Vermont. chairman of The sub
committee, already has expressed
himself rather forcibly on the sub
jeck Of "incipient revolts'' on the
part Of lOeaf taxpayers.
Gibson Makes Threat
He holds the opinion that if Dis
trict citizens become too vigorous
in their demands upon the Federal
Treasury. they may be countered
by q move on the part OF members
OF Congress to move the Capital
away from Washington.
At a recent night session OF his
subcommittee, he stated informally
that such opinions have been
voiced by members OF Congress and
that they were not expressed in q
merely speculative way.
It was pointd out that several
mid.Western cities, among them
Chicago. have offered to finance the
entire cost, OF moving the Federal
government, to furnish all neccs-
sary land and even to construct
buildings il the Capital were moved
there.
1t is the opinion of many mem.
bers OF Congress that the District
can thank the Federal Government
for Its existence as city. and that
the Federal Government already
has done far more for the District
than the District ever can do for
the National Government.
1t Is the openly expressed opinion
of many members of the House that
the District tax rate Is lower, In
comparison with the rates in other
cities of like size, than h justifiable.
The subject Of local bond issue
was laid before the Gibson subcom-
tnittee by Martin A. Leese, presi-
dent OF the Washington Chamber OF
Commerce, at one OF the opening
meetings Of the committee.
Mr.. Leese at that time advocated
an issue Of 800 1000, 900, proceeds to
be, devoted exclusively to park,
playground and school development.
The committee at that time took
no action on the proposal, although,
members have expressed themselves
as favorably inclined toward such O
step.
n Representative Frank r. Reid, OF
Illinois, member OF the subcom.
tnittee, in his new home rule" bill
for the District, has provided for
municipal bond issues as one of the
legal rights Of the board of COM
missioners.
