FROM THE PRESIDENT
OF THE VASHON ISLAND
COMMERCIAL CLUB

As we closed the door on 1928
we were not able to point to any
extraordinary achievement Is
having been accomplished during
the 12-month, but success is not
always measured in these terms
Steady progress means as much in
the line of development as one out
standing accomplishment and
when viewed in this light the for
ward march of Vashon Island dur
ing 1928 may be viewed with
satisfaction. What share our Com
mercial club has had in furthering
the interests of our island space
does not here permit describing
in detail and why occupy our
selves with the past when the fu.
ture offers so much for our at
tention. We can not close the
door, however, on the work done
by The Vashon Island Commercial
club without word of apprecia,
ton to the officers, directors and
members of the various commit,
tees who have given unselfishly OF
Their time and effort to serve the
interests of Vashon Island the
past year.
AS we enter upon the new year
we realize there is much work to
do for the Vashon Island CONNER
cial club. l will not try to define
these various tasks here or out,
line a campaign for dealing with
them. Most of you are familiar
with the problems Yashon Island
as q community is concerned. We
have new roads to build and old
ones to improve, modern high
school to plan and construct, a
public park should be provided
public service and transportation
should be improved and extended
and the cost reduced. These and
many more are subjects the of,
ficers, directors and committees
of the club will give their atten
ton to the ensuing year. The sue
cess we have in dealing with these
problems will largely be measured
by the support we get from the
members and the degree of efforI
and attention expended by The
various committees in doing the
work assigned to them. To en-
courage and assist those who ar,
charged with the responsibility o.
doing this work and extending tn,
usefulness of the club we invit,
constructive criticism and sugges
tions from the members and every
one who has interests on Vashol
Island.
We want every one who live
here to be booster for Vashol
Island and never tire of singinl
its praises in a voice loud enough
to be heard way beyond its shore
lines. Being favorably situate,
between two large cities, wit
easy access to both, we have ad
vantages to offer equaled by few
communities on the Pacific coast
Our duty is to sell Vashon Islam
to those who want beautiful
place to live and as we succeed i
this direction and our population
is increased adding taxable proT
erty, many of the problems wit
which we are now confronted Wi
adjust themselves. When NOR
people build their homes here
will be easier TO build road
schools and get better transpOrtS
ton, water, telephone and ligt
service at lower cost.
We have many organizations o
Vashon Island all serving a u.s.
full purpose in their particula
field but in funetioning many ,
these have a tcndancy to divid
the community in little groups an
diversity their activities. In ii

BENGTS0N 0BJECTS ID REFERENDUM
Would Not Have Public Vote on
 S@,000 Measures

Representatives elect Thure Bengt- son said this afternoon he does not approve the measure passed by the charter revision committee to place special appropriations of $50,000 or more before the electors for a vote, but declined to say whether he will carry his fight against this plan to the cities and boroughs committee of the general assembly.
 Senator-ehct Ernest W. Christ has been cutspoken in his opposition to the plan and was not present at the meeting which voted to recommend it to the legislature, and it is ex- pected that he will make known his objections when the legislative com- mittee meets to consider the propos- ed amendments.
 The opposition is built around the experience of other cities where spe- cial appropriations go on the voting machines for action. It has been found that little interest Is shown and that less than half of those who go to the polls to vote for officials take the trouble to vote either way on appropriations.
 Mayor Paonessa Is one of the strongest advocates Of the plan, de- claring that the public is entitled to have voice in the expending of it's own money and that the voting ma chine affords the best medium.

MAN KILLED BY TRAIN
 LIVED IN SOUThINGT0N
(Continued from First Page)

The body was first seen by a hre- man on a southbound train at 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning. He dg- nailed & trackwalker to go back to where the body was lying. When the train arrived in Berlin a report was sent to the Hartford office. Con- stable Raymond Halloran was dele- gated by that office to investigate and he called Dr. Waterman Lyon, New Britain's medical examiner, who viewed the remains and ordered the body removed to the undertaking rarlors of Frank Brodzik & Son.
 After several people had viewed the remains yesterday and last night it was identified this morning by . daughter who recognized her father from g description sent broadcast One of his fingers was amputated and this more than any other de- scription led the daughter to believe it was her father.
 Members of the family refuse to believe that their father had been walking the tracks in Newington at that hour of the night. They think that he might have gone to New Britain and was the victim of foul play here. However, the injuries he received practically assure the au- thoritfes that he was killed by the train. He suffered a fractured skull. broken shoulder. broken back, and two broken legs. as we'll as several minor injuries.
 Mrs. Albrycht had been making his home with 8 son, Sallie, and a daughter, Caroline. in Southington since the death of his wife four years ago.
 He decided to go to Hartford on New Years day and stay with his daughter, Sophie, on Lawlor street, while he was looking for work in that city. He stayed there until last 1hurday and early that morning he told| his daughter he was going to search for work. He assured her he would be back soon. When he did not return his daughter became alarmed and inquiries in several places were made. Among them was an inquiry of Thomas Murphy. con- stable, of southington. He had no money when he left home. 1t WAS said. Hs was missing for 72 hours- Relatives say he had not been working for two years and toward the end he acted strangely. His sur- vivors include three daughters, Sophie and Pauline of Hartford and Caroline of Southington; two sons, John of New York City and sallie of Southington.
 Funeral services will be at Holy Trinity church in Southinston It . time to be announced later by Frank Brodzik. Burial will be in Holy Trinity cemetery.
