Mr.. Hayden. station agent for the
Boston ard Maine Railroad at Eliot,
was in the city. vest erday, on his way
to kents Hill, to attend the COM
mencement exercises. During his stay
in Augusta he was the guest of Col.
keefe, the superintendent of public
buildings, at the Capitol.
Communications are beginning to be
received at the executive department,
in the way Of remonstrances to the
use of automobiles on the country
roads, which set forth in Il manner by
no means brief what hjndrance the
machines are to the people in the rural
districts, and menace, also to the
safety of themselves and their families.
One of these letters, from a man living
not many miles from augusta, claims
that it is impossible for the people in
his district to pass an automobile on
the road, and if they meet one, the
machine holds the road. while the man
and his team has to take to the fields
or the woods. in order to get by the in
| truder into the peace and quietness of
country life. He claims that the driv-
ers are heartless, although he admits
at the same time that they will gen.
orally stop their machine, if they are
requested to do so. He deplOres the
fact that so many of the machlneS
| have been registered. and is of the
| opinion that their introduction into the
State is going to drive the country,
meaning the rural districts, to the
demnition bowwows. The auto. he
says, is a curse to the country people,
with their narrow roads and bushes.
and closes his letter with the request
| that some restriction be placed on tn"
autos. i'm the way of meeting teams.
| The point taken by the writer regard
ing the impossibility of passing an
auto in some places On account of the
marrow reads and bushes is well taken.
for some Of these roads are so narrow,
and the bushes are allowed to grow SO
close to the highway, that it is difficult
| for Two teams 10 pass, put tii'e s'SN'''''
to be a matter that Is up to the towns
to guard against. If these roads were
| made a little wider, and the bushes
kent cleared away as they should be.
much difficulty would be avoided. And
then he should remember that the auto
| Is one of the results of progressive
age. and has the same rights on the
highway as other vehicles. The ma
jority Of people who 1rivc one OF these
| machines exercise due care. and IN 'hs
case of the other kind. there Is la"
for their punishment in case they
overotep its provision.
