Unusual interest has besn manifested in

newspa pers throughout Maine that this law
has been amended SO that paving blocks are

purpose of my writing. is to correct this and

granite paving industry of New York and
New England would be destroyed did this
Law Prevail. This was CLEARLY seen by all
concerned, but legislators saw matter
differently. and it required us 10 show the
true position of affairs.
This bill has been brought up in the
Assembly four times, and it was only after
repeated rebuffs that we were today en-
aDled to pass ii by a vote of SO for and q
against. We thus got the bill from the
Assembly. 1t now goes to the Senate, where
perhaps the same obstructive forces will be
met.

that the Senate is reached the bill will. we
