SKATING RINK WILL OPEN
Good Music and Plenty Of Skates
VIII Be Provided For Satur-
day Night.

Those who bow down at the shrine
OF the roller skate may not forget the
disconsolate and skateless season Of
the summer, for the Colosseum Rink
will open again for its winter season,
Saturday evening. Messrs. Kerslake
q White have spared no pains to put
the floor in first-class condition, and
Stockwell's band will furnish the
music which adds so much pleasure
to the sport Of skating.
Mr.. Kerslake tried to complete
arrangements for the installation OF
an electric organ, but has as yet been
unable to secure any definite promise
from the Portland firm. However
they are unwilling for their patrons
to wait longer and will open their
rink Immediately. The rink will moi
be open every evening at present, but
later on there will be skating sessions
nightly.
A new shipment Of skates precludes
the possibility Of the supply running
out The Colosseum is the first Of the
valley rinks to open its doors for the
coming season.

those fGvoring the appropriation by the

The committee on ways and bridges
gave a hearing to the remonstrants
against the Sargent good roads bill in
the Senate Wednesday afternoon. May
OF Pierce of Bangor was the first speak
er. He said:
The city government Of the city of
Bangor voted last evening that | APP
pear before this committee and oppose
this bill, for we think it a little unfair.
In the cities we have sidewalks and
many other items of expense in the
cities that are not found in the coun-
try towns. We know that the prOspt rity
Of the country towns is he prosperity,
in g certain measure. of Bangor. but
we do not feel as if it was right for us
10 maintain our own streets and then
turn round and help others.
Then there are the same objections to
this bill that there were to the school
bill for it provides for the rule from a
central office at Augusta.
The witness was questioned by Will
liam T. Haincs of Waterville. He asked
Mayor Pierce if he was opposed to the
principle.
YES" was the reply.
"Well there are 23.500 miles of roads
in the country towns and 1900 in the
cities. while the SO per cent. of the
wealth is in the country and Al per
cent. in the cities, and how are you go
ing to get the money to build these
good roads unless you make a level
tax and distribute it among the poorer
towns ?" was Mr.. Haines' next question.
"By taxation replied Mayor Pierce,
"but I don't believe it is right to take
the money from one town and spend 1t
in another"
Ex-senator Clark Of Eden declared
that the bill was drawn on Socialistic
lines and worthy of Kansas. He said
that Eden could not stand the added
burden of the extra taxation and at
lacked the constitutionality of the I'M
equal apportionment OF the money
raised by the proposed mill tax, saying
that if it was passed, some steps would
be taken to test IL.

them were present, in spite of the fact
that they were very busy men.
j. II. Blanchard of Auburn asked
Mr.. Haines few questions, first stat
ing that the bill called for too expensive
an office in Augusta, that the distribu-
| ton is unjust and that the nearer the
people the distribution could be, the
better, left in the hands of the munich
| pal authority.
Then turning to Mr.. Haines, the fol-
lowing took place:
You are here in the interests of the
city of Waterville
Yes"
well. do the provisions of this bill
affect Watervilleg'
"Waterville pays out more than it
receives, in the first and narrowest
phase of the question:
'"Then pray tell me how you are here
favoring this bill when Waterville is
going to pay out more than she will get
back :"
Because Waterville is a part of the
State of Maine" daughter and great
applause)
Mr.. Blanchard then read from a list
of owners of wild lands i'm Somerset
county and asked Mr.. Haines if he was
the man mentioned. He replied that
he was. and that he also owned real
estate in three other counties. He kent
interrupting the further remarks of
Mr.. Blanchard by naming over a few
other things that he owned, includeing
a horse COW, hens. bank stock, railroad
stock and shipping.
Mr.. Blanchard in summing up his re-
marks and questions said 1T is a ne
culiar coincidence that this gentleman
is in favor of this bill when almost ev-
cry town in Somerset county gets more
by it than it pays there to reach his
railroad n little easier"
SENATOT, HESELTON of the COM
mittee: There isn't anything in this
bill about railroads is there, Mr..
Blanchard?"
When order was again restored the
leader of the opposition called upon L.
A. Cloudy of Portland to state exactly
what the State Board of Trade did en-
dOrse at its Bangor meeting. His
remembrance Of the resolve was that
it was left with the legislative commit
tee to endorse some bill or if one was
drawn by them, that the one-half mill
tax be the one to be offered
