jammed and the rear left hub cap
jammed off, while the spokes of the
wheel showed signs of the collision,

In the side' car of the motorcycle

The Demers car brought Nault to

Secretary of State Has Inquiry from
Concern Regarding Location in

Wessel, Nickel & Gross, manufac
turers of piano actions, with offices
at 457 West 45th Street, New York
City, and factories at West Forty
sixth street and Tentla avenue and
West Forty-sixth street, are desirous
of locating a large factory in Ver
mont. Here is their letter:
New York, Aug. 12, 1919.
Secretary of State,
Montpelier, Vt.
Dear "Sir:
We manufacture piano actions and
piano hammers, essentially a wood
working proposition, although we do
metal working as well, manufactur
ing the hardware (brass and steel)
used in the manufacture of our prod
uct. Under normal conditions we em
ploy about 650 persons, males and fe
males, in about equal proportions,
and the principal commodity which
we use is rock maple, about 300,000
fec or more "per annum. We have had
for quite some time a plan under
consideration to transer a part of our
plant to some locality where labor,
both female and male is more or
less plentiful, with good shipping fa
cilities and where water power may
be had.
Our plan would be to buy an ex
isting: plant, to manufacture our own
lumber and install our saw mill and
moulding mill departments, as a
start and enlarging as time goes on.
Therefore, we would inquire wheth
er you can accommodate u with a
list of properties f.or sale with full
description of buildings, fioor space
and asking price, etc., location, rail
road facilities, population and other
relevant data.
With thanks in advance for your
attention and assistance in the prem
ises, we are
Very truly yours,

The first money to come to Orleans
county under the new federal road
law will be spent on a stretch of
road approximately three miles in
length on the road from Coventry
village toward Orleans. Work will
begin in the sand hill just south of
Coventry village and before reaching
the sharp curve to the left. This
curve will be eliminated by cutting
across the fieldi while the grade,
curve and width of the upper part of
the hill will also be improved.
In the main, the present road will
be followed but the grades, curves,
width, surface and ditches will re
ceive attentionl The road is to be
graveled, the material coming from
the George Bean place located a short
distance from Coventry on the Iras
burg road. The ditches for the entire
distance are to be rubbled and the
entire job is to be one of the best
pieces of road in this part of Ver
mont. Drainage of the road bed will
of course be one of the important
features.
Wherever federal road money is
expended the road must be of the
very finest construction and it is ex
pected this stretch of road, which
will extend as far toward Orleans as
the Bailey place will receive more
ubtt 'saun. aaiqi ao aottt) JLq Zauoui
any other similar stretch of road in'
Orleans county has ever received, the
sum approximating $50,000.

Barton Wins Again.
Barton journeyed to Island Pond
Saturday and won a tight game 6 to
5. Barton went into the last of the
ninth with a three-run lead, but two
hits and a man hit by the pitcher
gave the Pond boys two runs and a
man on third. This man tried to score
on nothing but the hope of a Barton
error, but couldn't get away with it.
B. Lee ran him down and Barrows
touched him out in his convincing
way, and the game was over.
