VERMONT UTILITY
ACCUSED BY |CKES
Offering Inducement to City

BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
In a new attack on opponents Of
P. w. AS $4,000 900 municipal power
program, Secretary Ickes said today
the Central Vermont Public Service
Corp had offered inducements to
Brandon. VT, to abandon it's P. w. A.
power allotment.
The public works administrator, who
simultaneously accused the Duke Power
Co. of deliberate" delay in appealing
P. w. A. victory in a Greenwood,
S. c., contested power allotment, made
public what he said was a photoStatic
copy of letter from the Vermont
company to the Board of Selectmen of
Brandon.
Bill Reduction Offered.
In the letter, which the document
showed to be signed by Albert A. Cree,
vice president, the company offered to
pay various expenses incurred in con-
nection with the P. w. A. allotment
provided it was dropped-and to re-
duce its bill for street lighting.
Ickes was asked whether he had re-
scinded the $163,000 loan and grant to
Brandon.
1T has not been rescinded yet" he
said. IT don't think We have ever
heard from them"
Brandon Allotment Attacked.
Ickes recalled that the Brandon al
lotment was one of several now under
attack in the District of Columbia Su-
preme Court.
Asked If any other power companies
had made similar attempts to induce
cities to abandon P. w. A. allotments
for municipal systems, Ickes said:
This Is the first one that has come
to light, but I haven't a suspicious ma
ture and it might be an isolated case" +"

Undersecretary Of State in the Roose-

his magazine last night criticized the
administration proposal to place a
high tax on corporate income not I'M

"The Federal Government neeos
new revenue to replace the processing
taxes and to pay the bonus" he wrote.
But this scheme is not the sound
way to get it. Fortunately there are
already signs that Congress will not

such an important feature in a
county hotel, will be on the front,
on the north side. Back OF, it,
connected by swinging doors is the
pool-room. On the other side of
the main hall from the bar-room
will be found the ladies parlor,
separated from the dining-room
back of it by the stair hall, the
stairs going up across the house.
The kitchen and pantries of course
occupy the extreme rear. We un-
derstand that among other conven-
fences not often found in county
hotels, the building will be furnish
ed throughout with electric bells,
thing that is often wished for
when, on a cold winter morning
the shilly stranger in a strange
land goes to the washstand and
finds nothing but a dry towel, dry
pitcher and dry cake of coap with
which to wash. The building will
be plain and substantially built

the early Colonial" style, from
designs by Edw Hurst Brown of
Philadelphia, the same architect
who has had charge of the house

", horribly. She soon died of her
injuries. The father, who had
rushed toward his wife and
daughter in an effort to rescue
them, was struck by the same
truck and dragged to the curb,
mangled and dying.
Nor was this the end of the
tragedy that the truck brought
to this family group on their
graduation shopping trip. The
mother recovered from her physi-
cal injuries, but her mind has
given way under the strain and
she is now in an insane asylum.
1t was a clear day when this
tragedy occurred. Eye witnesses
testified that the driver of the
truck had the green traffic lights
with him. This was his first acci-
dent.

600 MEN TO GET
JOB FOR A YEAR.
Army Allots S4,000,000 For
Additional Work on C.
& ID. Canal
TO OPEN BIDS JUNE 9TH

Bids will be opened on June 9
for S4,00O,0O0 additional work on
the enlarging of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal. The addition
al allotment of funds, approved by
Secretary of War Dern last week,
will result in the completion of the
enlargement of the canal from the
Delaware River to Summit Bridge,
leaving only 10000 feet of the
1887 miles of the canal to be COM
pleted. 1t is estimated the addi-
tional contracts will provide for
the employment of nearly 600 men
for period of abou one year. Most
of the work under the new con-
tracts will be done in Delaware.
The government originally allotted
$5,000,000 for the widening of the
canal from go feet at the bottom
to 250 feet and for deepening it
from II feet, at mean low water,
to 81 feet, converting it from a
barge canal to a ship canal. About
60 per cent of the original con-
tracts have been completed. With
improved fair weather the present
contracts are moving rapidly for
ward. Captain Howard Ker, en-
gineer in charge of construction
and maintenance of the Chesa-
Ipeake and Delaware Canal al
Chesapeake City, said new work
will start shortly after the new
bids are opened. Previous con-
tracts specified men employed
must be secured from the u. S
Employment Service, as the funds
came from the emergency relief
funds. This is not required under
the specifications for the new work
Most of the funds appropriated
will be used for dredging opera
tions, Captain Ker said. Much OF
the dry excavation is being com
pleted under the original contracts
Additional allotments for the work
are expected this year, and it is be-
lieved the entire project will be
completed in Is months. Partial
reconstruction of the Pennsylvania
Railroad bridge over the canal al
Summit Bridge is provided for il
100000 of the new appropriation
Traffic on the canal is being main
tanned during The work through
the operation of dispatch boats op-
Grating out of Chesapeake City
Secretary Dern also made the fol
lowing ALLEGATIONS of funds for this
area: oPcomoke River in Maryland
S151 900; Little Wicomico River
also in Maryland, $4,000; Della
ware River, from Trenton to Phil

not be blamed for suspecting that
he was some kind of dangerous
moron. You would be right in
Fastening by for your life. Meth
er clothing nor car indicates a
gentleman. But the consideration
a driver shows TO others is an in
fallible sign.
You know by experience that
you can back into a very small
space at the curb, while a much
longer space is needed if you try to
drive in with the front wheels first.
But is this parking place legigti-
mate one? Are there no official
prohibitory signs? Can you park
a proper distance from the fire
plug, the safety island, and the
street intersection You are not
blocking some citizens driveway,
are you?
For the safety Of your car, park
with your right wheels only a few
inches from the curb, and parallel
to it. On narrow streets many ac-
cidents are caused by the corner of
some parked car projecting into
the traffic lane. Leave parking
lights on, if it is night. Climb out
on the curb side, Of course.
When you come back to drive
away, make doubly sure that traf-
fic i clear. Use your left hand,
extended straight out the window,
to signal your intention; but give
passing cars a decent opportunity
to get by first. Cities and towns
may have a variety Of parking
rules. It will pay you to learn and
observe those in force in your COM
munity.

FRUIT EXCHANGE AT
CLAYTON. RUMORED

The question of Fruit Ex-
change at Clayton is still in abey-
ance and likely to remain so. The
peach growers do not favor a
branch of the Wyoming Exchange,
but have expressed themselves in
favor of an independent exchange,
without any active movements in
promoting its origination. The
most interested man has been a.
L. Hudson, but he cannot see the
feasibility or propriety which some
of them suggest that he "get one
up on his own hook" assuring him
(as far as that goes) that he would
have a good thing in it. Mr.. H.
says that he is trying to shift re-
sponsibility instead of taking on
more, and with this four or five
farms feels that he has enough to
do without assuming the response
bility of running a Fruit Exchange.
