WHY Not Make One Job OF It.

Editor K-nnebec journal:
The writer of this observes that the water
street pavement plan is narrowed to part
Instead of the whole-that is. from Market
Square to Bridge street. 1t is plain to the
public that pavement is about equally neces-
ary the entire space between the railroad
track. at the foot of Rhues hill, and the
Edwards Co. block. In slicing out a piece
in the middle, taxing all the water street
frontage to pay the bills, a very marked and
injurious distinction is made against about
half of the property owners on the street.
This discrimination will necessarily add To
the rental value of the stores frouted by the
pavement and diminish the rental value of
the stores whose fronts are TO be left I'M
paved Is this fair? Is it WISE? 1t may be
said that only part can be done in one year.
Then why not take first the Northern half,
or the Southern half, of Water street, Why
sobble out the middle and have the two ends
out in the cold, and they surely will be for
wears indefinitely, if the partial and limited
plan of having is carried out. Better make
one Job of it. if possible. and thus treat alike
all of the water street frontage. Else have
one of the two halves this year. which would
afford some guaranty that the other half
would be paved next year Is 1t not better
IN have fair and impartial plan, or no plan
at all?

MILITIA RIFLE MATTERS.
How the Figure Of Merit IL to be OBJ
tanned.

Col E. c. Harrington, Inspector Of Rifle
Practice. has been in consultation With Cap
tain W. S. Choate. Brigade Inspector of Rife
Practice, and General Gallagher, in regard
to arrangements governing the practice for
the season, and the matches to take place
during the encampment. He advises
change in the conditions for qualifications
for marksmen, first and second classes. The
conditions for sharpshooter's qualifications
will not be changed, but marksmen will only
be required to fire 200 and 500 yards Here
tofore they we're obliged to shoot at 200, 300
and 500 yards. A second class for marks
men is made to FIRE at 200 Yards only, they
TO receive badge designed for that class.
The figure of merit for each company will
be obtained by multiplying the number of
'harpshooters by 200; the number of marks
men by 100; the number of second class
marksmen by 60, and the number of those
who practice but do not qualify in either of
the classes by 80, and dividing the sum BY
he number of men in the Company. This will
give the figure of merit for each company.
rhe competitions for muster were made out.
There will be some seven different events
and liberal prizes will be offered in each
from those making the best record at the
,.ncampment, 25 men will be selected and
rom this number a State team will be
iormed later OIL. Muster will probably be
held in Augusta sometime in August.
Several prizes are to be award d for sue
cessful competition. 1t is expected that the
rivalry between the companies will be more
vigorous than ever, and some interesting con-
tests may be looked for. A State team of
twelve men is To be formed. Col. Harrington
will soon visit the companies to inspect them
and give instruction. The enlistment of 50
many new men makes this of the creates,
Importance.
While Col. Harrington was in town, he and
Capt. Choate hal some practice with rifle
provided with Burlington sights and were
much pleased with the results.
