HOVLANDITES SPEAK OUT.
Adopt Resolutions in Reference Il
County Board Proceedings.

ADOPT RESOLUTIONS in Reference to
County Board Proceedings.
At public mass meeting held at the
school house at Hovland on Feby. II,
1907, the following resolutions, after
consideration seriatum, were unanimous
ly adopted as whole by standing
vote:
whereas, the financial statement for
the year 1906 shows that the county's
fund is oyerdrawn to the amount of
$3.27705, an increase of $2,434O6-in
other words the county is in debt as
result of the years transactions to the
extent of the latter amount;
''Resolved, that we enter an emphatic
protest at the unwarranted = under
conditions at present prevailing in the
unty-salaries or wages voted the
county attorney and court house janitor.
"Resolved, that it is our unanimous
opinion that for law-enforcing officer
TO urge the fact of his having permitted
! alleged violators of law to escape pun
ishment as a reason why his salary
should be increased, makes burlesque
of justice, and is policy pernioions in
theory and vicious IN practice. By so
doing snch officer, sworn to enforce law,
becomes insvead an abettor of crime
and by such misplaced len1ency permits
IN ~ ho
lawless element thus permitted to escape.
We believe the taxpayers are willing to
pay for and have the right to expect the
honest enforcement of law. We are un-
| alterably opposed to the policy of pay
ing an'officer "to be good" and believe
that the payment of a large salary in
order to keep such officer from involving
the county in needless litigation and
expense is false theory and in the
nature of a bride. Should the couoty
ever be so unfortunate as TO elect an
officer disposed to wilfully incur such
expense, the voters have it in their
power, to rectify the mistake at the
succeeding election.
"We believe that when a member OF
the county board by his own vote helps
| to elect to county position member
of his own family at double the wage
deemed sufficient the prior year, such
member thereby becomes the agent. OF
his family and ceases TO represent his
constituency the two positions being
incompatible.
ave believe that the voters have a
right to know the position taken by their
representatives in their official capacity
and we respectfully request that the
officer having charge of same, furnish a
complete and accurate record of the
proceedings of the county board meet
ipgs for the benefit and Information OF
the taxpayers of the county and the
constituents of the several members OF
the board. =. \
Resolved, that we invite the coopera.

The DECISION
Rendered by Board Of
Railroad Commissioners
On Maine Central Train Wreck
Near Oakland, June 29.
Commissioners Unable to Deter.
mine Cause of Accident,

announcement was made at the Office
OF the Board Of Railroad Commissions
erS Wednesday morning that il decision
Lad been rendered by the commissions
crs i'll the matter of the railroad wreck
at Rice crossing, near Oakland, June
- last. The text of the decision is as
follows:
a serious accident occurred on the
Maine Central Railroad, Portland Di-
vision. on the 18th day of June. a. d.
1907. at place called Rice Crossing.
two miles east Of Oakland Station.
No icrson was killed, but the acci-
dent was of such Il serious character
that on the 9TH day of July the Rail-
road Commissioners gave the matter I,
thorough investigation, ut which hear
ing the County Attorney was requested
to be present, and was represented by
MIR. F. w. Clair Of Waterville. who
aided the commissioners materially in
the investigation, and in the summon
ing Of witnesses.
The train involved was known as
No. %, which was due to leave Portland
at II % A. NJ, but which left Portland
at l1.30, forenoon, twenty-five minutes
late.
1t was made up at Portland with en-
CINE No. $50, mail car next the engine,
baggage car, two parlor cars. dining
car. sleeper. three day coaches. smok-
ing car. second class car. and coach on
the rear. At Oakland the sleeper was
cut out. leaving the train with eleven
ears in the order above given.
At Oakland the train was twelve
minutes late. having made up thirteen
minutes between Portland and Oak
land
Mr., Jeremiah II. Hathaway, an
efficient and trusted conductor was in
charge of the train. and he testified
that his train left Oakland at LAP. and
was running at its usual rate Of speed;
the time being ten minutes between
Oakland and Watervlle.
This trains schedule time between
Portland and Watcrville is ten min
utes slower than it was in 1906. Then
it was due to leave Portland ut lilo
A. NJ. and arrive at Oakland at 120
and Waterville at 100.
This year it is due to leave Portland
at 11O5. arrive at Oakland at 1.25 and
Waterville at 40.
This is important. because If the
statements which went broadcast. that
the accident was caused by the very
high rate of speed at which the train
was running. The train had made UP
thirteen minutes between Portland ana
oakland, Yet that would make its tin:.
only three minutes faster than the
regular schedule time of the same train
in 1906
The train sheet of this train NJ. %
on that day has been furnished rs. ana
we give it herewith to show that this
train could not have been running at
an extraordinary rate of speed:
