Regulation of Public Vehicles.

The corporation counsel today submitted
to the Commissioners draft of proposed
amendments to the police regulations. most
of which relate to the government of public
vehicles 1t is proposed to compel all public
vehicles to carry license numbers not less
than one and half inches high and quar-
ter of an inch in width In their narrowest
parts No hack any part of which is broken
shall occupy any hack stand. NO minors
81 WALL be permitted to climb upon or hang
on to street cars while they are in motion.
The other amendments are of little impor-
lance and have TO do with the manner OF
enforcing the law.

Waterville people, as 1t Is more than
possible that we shall feel the benefits
of this proposed plan. this fall, at the
Central Maine fair. The exhibits and
addresses will not be. necessarily con-
fined to the industries or products of
particular states as, of course many
states are not sufficiently separate "a
to the manners of the Inhabitants of
getting their livelihood.
New Hampshire seems to be IN the
lead in mauguratlng this new move
ment. but this State, nevertheless
seems no more favOrably disposed TO
thG proposition than do the several
disnitaries whom she has invited. For
instance: Governors Brown of Florida.
Blanchard Of Louisiana, Vardaman of
Mississippi have sent favorable REPLIES
TO New England, North Carolina will
have hen. huge timberlands of hard
pine. turpentinc. and tar-bearing trees
represented in the exhibits; West Vir-
sini;, Arkansas and possibly others
have already announced their intcn-
tiOlS of coming North and of visiting
the state fairs Of New Hampshire and
Vermont II is probably up to the man-
agemcnt Of the Central Maine fair to
procure these added attractions which
appear appropriate from the outside.
II the governors have shown a willing
ness to come to our neighboring states
ii seems perfectly natural to think thew
would come TO Maine in response to an
invitation.

GOVERNORS COMING.
Distinguished Visitors Expected to
Central Maine Fair.

Considerable attention is being at
tracttd throughout New England by
the press notices which state of the in
tentions of several governors repre-
senting their respective states of COM
ing MP this way for the purpose Of
speaking at the various State fairs AMI
doing their utmost to bring the North
and South into closer industrial rela
tionS. In addition to speaking, they
will each bring with them large agri-
cultural exhibit illustrating the most
profitable, commercially. of the prod
ucts of the Southern soil. There is not
the least doubt, say prominent author-
ties that this custom will gradually
come into vogue and will be another
modern factor for uniting the different
parts of our country into more solid
unity.
This fact is especially significant to
