Disabled Veteran Offers $4.98,
“Fifth of Life,” for Lighthouse
Br the Associated Press.
A disabled World War veteran
offered the Government $4.98 and
“one-fifth of my life" today for a
Buzzards Bay, Mass., lighthouse to
be sold June 18 to the highest bidder.
Ernest R. Coran, writing from the
Dayton, Ohio, Veterans’ Administra
tion Facility, where he is being treated
for tuberculosis, informed the Treas
ury Procurement Division he hoped
“my bid will win so we can have a
shelter for my seven children.”
Coran W'rote his wife was earning
$6 a week in Uniontown, Pa., to sup
port herself and the children. He ex
pressed willingness to sign a contract
for the remainder of his life “in any
capacity the Government may choose
to insure it.”
The lighthouse Coran offered to buy
is at Mattapoisett, Mass., and is valued
at from $15,000 to $20,000.
Coran said he had contracted “bron
chitis, neuralgia and neuritis at Eagle
Pass., Tex., in 1916,” and these ail
ments “were greatly aggravated when
I was recalled to service March 22,
1917, and stationed in that old, cold,
damp place at Fort McHenry, Balti
more, Md.”
“Afterwards, in 1918,” his letter
continued, "I was at Edegwood
Arsenal, N. J., where I suffered from
chlorine and phosphene gas, which
gave me tuberculosis.”
He said “so far the United States
has compensated me with hospitali
sation and let my wife and seven
children starve unless the County of
Greene, Pa., lets them live In the poor
house.”
Coran said he was “unable to fol
low my regular job—horse trainer and
veterinarian. There is no place for
my loved ones and I want to be with
them for the short time I have to
live.”
Coran said he was drafted for World
War service at Manassas, Va.

Twice “Tolled” Tales.
SAN FRANCISCO Swindlers
reaped a harvest from cut-rate tickets
to cross the new Golden Gate Bridge
until police heard about it.
Taking advantage of public ignor
ance of the location of the official toll
station, the racketeers set up their
own collection system on the Marin
County side of the span. Loud com
plaints from the victims when they
were stopped at the real toll gate on
the San Francisco side ended the
j “velvet.”
