At the annual meeting of the county COM
missioners of Maine held in this city and
briefly reported last week discussion on
State roads, bridge expenses and road build
ing was led by Paul d. Sargent, State high
mi nd rlt ont a joty
of opinions. While no formal action was
taken it was the sense of the convention
that the State should take over and main |
tain the larger bridges. The expense of
feeding prisoners in the jais under the |
present law was compared with that under |
the former law, and it was found that the |
commissioners can feed the prisoners |
cheaper than the price formerly paid to
sherffs for boarding them; that the cost is
somewhat higher where the men are work !
ed, and that small numbers cost more per |
head than larger numbers. 1T was voted to |
hold the next convention in Augusta the |
first Wednesday in August, 1908. The COM
missioners and clerks had cambake on |
the shore after the close of the afternoon |
sessions.
