Brunswick Record: The award of
siz7, 135 for the augusta Water plant is.
compared with the awards in Water
vile and Gardiner. distinctly favorable
to the Augusta Water district. Gard-
ner was called upon to pay $2i5.00o, a
sum that is considered unreasonably
high for the property taken. APP
praisers in Watervile found the plant
in that city to be worth Il little over
half a million. The gross revenue of
the Augusta plant is about equal to that
of the Waterville plant, and the award
is $4,000 less. Taking another view of
the matter, the water company asked
in the first place 1921 900 for the Au-
gusta plant. reducing that demand at
the hearing to $4,000. The district
offered $350,0o0 for the property. The
award is nearly $4,000 less than the
company asked and only about SIS, 900
more than the district offered.
1t is reassuring to learn that the
measures outlined by Commissioner
Gilman and authorized by the Governor
and council for the determination of
the brOwntail moths discovered at Kit
terry promise to be effective. Mr.. Gill
man went to the scene and found the
people and the town officials ready to
do all in their power to help. He pro-
poses to employ boys and young men
to gather in the nests. some of which
are high in the tops of tall elms. I'VE
propose" he says. Ito make Il thorough
search and gather in all the nests we
find and burn them. We have mapped
odt the work and shall proceed street
by street until We have covered the
whole ground. 1t will be done very
largely before the trees are Ieaved out.
On some of the streets that we eX-
amined there were but few nests; one
of the officials said there were not
enough to make it interesting. I feel
certain that they now see the danger
and realize the necessity for prompt
and thorough action and will make
every effort in their power to extermi-
nate this pest as soon as possible" This
is well. 1t would be a public calamity
to allow this destructive creature 10 get
