THE BELFAST CLUB OF BOSTON.

At a meeting of the officers and committee
of the Belfast Club of Boston, consisting of
Mr.. Will R. Howard, president; Mrs. Mark
Andrews, Mr.. Walter Frederick, vice presi-
dents Miss June K. Hills, secretary; Miss
Alice Poor, assistant secretary; Mr.. John
Holmes, treasurer; Mrs. Ada Wildes, Miss
Nellie Walker, Mr.. Charles French, Miss
Evelyn Morrison for the committee, it was
decided for this year to substitute for the
banquet formerly held an evening devoted
to social intercourse, whist and dancing,
Win pei haps fv" pios nulnD-ls, and
assuredly collation.. An attractive hall is
to be chosen with ample room and con-
veniences for each guests preferred enter
tanment. This reunion of the Belfast peo-
Pile in Boston and vicinity will take/place the
last of February or the first week in March.
1t is hoped that this may be time when
somes Belfast people are travelling Roston-
wards, who will accept the very sincere in
vitation extended to them through The
journal, and be in the merry making.
1t has been difficult matter, and in fact
an impossible one, to get aud keep correct
addresses of all Belfast people eligible to
membership in the Belfast Club of Boston,
The one requisite is that they at some time
haye lived in Belfast, and the fact that there
are some who have never received invita-
tions, or who have been invited but once, or
worse still, who have only received invita-
tions to pay dues, is due to no address hav-
ing been obtained, addresses having been
lost or changed, or to mistakes. The COM
mittee would very much appreciate having
addresses of any Belfast person or persons
sent to the secretary, Miss June K. Hills, 80
ST. Botolph street, Boston, who would be glad
to see that announcements and invitations
are sent them. The one aim of the club is
to keep in touch with all Belfast people
within a reachabe distance, and to meet
them at least once year at the clubs year.
ly meeting, as all Belfasters have Belfast
for at least one topic and affection in COM
mon.
The yearly dues for members is fifty
cents. The price of ticket to the reunion is
$3.50, the same as in past years.

ty, Hon. W. T. Haines appeared in favor
of the bill and said that il was not the pur
pose OF the management to interfere in any
way with the rights of the Bangor & AroOs-
TOOK. He explained that in the last two
years the road has been built 62 miles from
bingham to MO0sehead Lake and this ex-
tension is now about to be opened. The
road now has a charter to 60 around the
lake to Seboomook and wishes permission
to go to the Canadian border. This section
Is great timber country and Mr.. Haines
has belief that much advantage to the State
would result from the extension proposed.
senting the Bangor & Aroostook road, call
ed attention to the fact that if the charter
as asked Is granted by the committee that
it will infringe upon that of the Bangor &
Aroostook which provides that no other
road shall be allowed to parallel its lines
within 10 miles.
Mr.. Haines explained that his road would
not be within the 10 mile limit until it got
north of the Somerset county line and then
only for short distance. Should the dis
tance then be kept it might throw the Som
erset railroad so far to the west that it
would be practically impossible for it to get
into the St. John valley.
Mr.: Chaplin remarked that those rights
had been given the Bangor & Aroostook
and should they be infringed upon it might
injure the bond sale of that road.
81 don't know why we are not as much
entitled to go into the St. John valley as
you,' remarked Mr.. Haines, to which Mr.
Chaplin responded: "We have got our
right and you haven't
swell, that is matter for the committee" :"
returned Mr. Haines, and hostlities here
ceased as Chairman Irving for the commit
tee had the bill placed on the table to be
considered in executive session. 1t was
later voted to leave the matter open for
week to obtain further light.
j., After brief explanation by Mr.. Chaplin
the committee voted to report sought to
pass" Oh five bills pertaining to the Bangor
u Aroostook road. One was the act to
authorize that road to purchase the Schoodic
Stream railroad, another an act to ratify
the mortgage of the same and third to
ratify the mortgage and lease of the North
ern Maine Seaport railroad. A fourth was
an act to authorize extension of the Bangor
u Aroostook, which gives permission to
construct short line from the northern
par: of the northern point Of Schoodic lake
to South Lagrange, a distance of some %
miles. This is desired to avoid some heavy
grades that are proving troublesome in the
freight traffic. There was no opposition to
any of these bills

each county by arrangement with the coun-
ty commissioners were successful in bring
terested in good roads and the attendance
was gratifying to the commissioner.
Of the new road bill the commissioner says
that it has been worked out after study
of many State road laws already in opera
tion, and with the aim to make the bill ap-
plicabe to the needs in this State by taking
what has appeared to be the best features
ing them. 1t is felt that any State road law
for Maine should be general in its scope !;
that is, so designed that every city, town,
organized plantation and township might
be benefited by it, and that the expenditure
of State funds in each town should be ap-
piled to improving the main artery of
through travel in that town in order thai
after series of years something approach
ing continuous lines of improved road may
be realized. Section four of the bill makes
it incumbent on towns to expend certain
amount of their regular highway money in
doing permanent work, the amount to be so
expended depending on the valuation of
the town and varying from $1.O0 per thou
sand of valuation in the poorer towns to
$025 per thousand of valuation in the
weather. cities. This provision calls for
no extra taxation, as the money is Q be
taken from the regular highway appr0pria-
tiOn made in each town. To be sure it will
