That never wear glove;

A downright shameful deal

A STREET COMMISSIONER TO BE ELECTED.
At the city election March ID, 1910, in addition
to the mayor, aldermen. councilmen and ward
officers, street commissioner is to be elected
for term of two years. This was brought
about by the present mayor who petitionedt he
last legislature for the necessary amendment
to the city charter and it was amended as fol-
lows:
Section four of the charter of the city of
Belfast is hereby amended by inserting after
the word "year" first appearing in said section,
the words Except road commissioner, who
shall be elected by ballot as now done by
towns, at our annual election for term of two
years"
The petition was not from the city govern
ment or the citizens of Belfast, but from the
mayor personally, who no doubt, as usual, had
some political or personal end in view. He
asked to have the amendment expedited to
take effect before the 25.h of February, 1909
that street commissioner might be elected
that year, but the amendment was not approved
by the Governor until March "a, 1909.

FOREIGN ENGINEERS

Representatives of French Republic
Secure Interesting Data in Los
Angeles While on Tour
of Country

The Los Angeles telephone systems
were thoroughly inspected Wednesday
by Henri Milon, engineer of posts and
telegraphs of France, and Albert
Thomas, chief engineer of the tele-
phone company of France, who were
sent here by the French government to
investigate conditions with a view of
establishing the automatic in place Of
the manual system in their country
The two visitors made a thorough
tour of the different telephone stations
maintained by the Home company in
Los Angeles and also gave the auto
matte phones a thorough trying out.
They also visited several of the nearby
points of interest while here, leaving
last evening for San rancisco, where
they will pass the next few days go
ing over the telephone systems there.
The service in France is operated in
an entirely different manner than in
America and costs much more. All
lines are owned and operated by the
government. The subscriber is re-
quired to buy and install his own in
strument and also wire his own home
or place of business, the telephone
company simply connecting on in much
the same manner as the local gas or
electric companies do. For this rea-
son the kinds of instruments used is
widely different and the service poor.
1t is the intention of the French gov
eminent to install, or compel to be
installed on all their lines the same
make of instruments of the automatic
kind, and for this reason experts are
touring the United states getting
ideas.
Although owned by the government,
the phones of France are much more
expensive than in the United States.
on main lines the telephones cost
about $50 a year each, while those on
party lines cost about $40 each per
year. This rate is uniform, 1t making
no difference in the cost whether the
phone is in a business house or resi-
