STATEWIDE CITY PLANNING.
Movement To Reduce Congestion of
Population To Become State Wide.

After several years spent in mani
fold and often ingenious efforts to
arouse a reluctant public interest in
the extremely important but somewhat
dry subject of the congestion of pop
ulation and its remedy in wisely
planned distribution of population the
committee on congestion considers the
time ripe for definite steps toward the
sane and desired. The movement is
to become statewide, all the larger
cities thus profting by the study or
city planning to which the COMMITTEES
has devoted itself literally day and
night In addition to the ordinance
passed by the board of aldermen pro-
viding for an unpaid commission on
the distribution of population here.
a bill authorizing the appointment of
a similar commission has been intro
duced in the legislature. This body.
il created. will. perhaps be the first
in the country to seek the bottom
causes for budding people in unlimited
numbers in insanitary quarters. and
TO offer a definite. practical remedy.
The subject is big and broad, with
many qualifications and far-reanhing
possibilities for helping those people
who row founder helplessly and for
reasons they cannot analyze.-New
York Times.

BROWN EQUITY CASE.
Proceedings Before Court Friday
Stopped by Legal Technicalty.

The case of Annie G. Brown vs. the
Kennehec Water District, which was
Before Judge Spear of the supreme
court in equity, Friday morning has
apparently aroused considerable in
terest among the cottagers about the
shores of China lake.
According TO the facts as alleged,
a summer cottage on the shore OF
China lake, owned by the plaintiff was
bun ned in April, 1909 The structure
was promptly rebuilt, and although
not completed was occupied by the
family Of the owner in August of the
same year. Subsequently agents of the
kennebec Water District negotiated
for the purchase OF the property, and
offered 5000 for it. This offer was re-
fused, and on Feb. u, the Water Dis
trict filed q certificate of taking un-
der the right of eminent domain.
Contesting this action, Maher s.
Bartlett, attorneys for the plaintiff.
fled q bin in equity, and asked for am
injunction restraining the Water Dis
trict from entering on the land. At the
hearing Friday Harvey ID. Eaton APP
pcarcd for the Water District to OPP
pose granting the injunction. The
charter of the Water District confers
the right OF eminent domain for eight
sp' cilic purposes, but through over
sight the certificate fled in February
failed to specify the particular pur-
pose for which the property was to be
taken. After argument by plaintiff
counsel in which his attention was
called to the TACT, Mr.. Eaton admitted
l..rn
that a new certificate. had been filed
against the property this morning.
Judge Spear declined to waste the
time of the court by continuing the.
hearing under these circumstances
Mr.. Maher suggested that the original
certificate be amended to correspond
with the new. which specified that the
property was wanted for the purpose
Of ''prcserNinG the purity of the water
and watershed of China lake This
would permit the matter tn go before
the June session of the law court. and
be settled before the usual court, and
be settled before the usual vacation
season. Mr. Eaton declined to do this.
but assured his opponent that he
would interpose no unnecessary delay
and that there would be no further
proceedings undor the takings of
Feb. y.
The cottage in question is located
over two miles from the Water Dis
trict's intake, and there are other cot
tages within half mile of the source
of supply. The plaintiff feels aggrieved
by this apparent discrimination. and
contends for the privilege of improV-
ing her property unmolested. The legal
steps taken thus far will mostly have
to be gone over with again.

MR.. ROOSEVELT IN PARIS.
As Seen by a Newspaper Writer Of the
Boulevards.

We are so modest in France that we do
not appreciate our most eminent fellow
citizens at their just value 1t Is. there,
fore, necessary that we should from time
to- time receive some renowned stranger
whose visit will permit us TO SATISFY our
need of enthusiasm. We have been par
ticularly amiable to Monster Roosevelt.
Paris has accorded him an entire week oil
sympathetic curiosity. THIS is favor
of which it is chary, and privilege or
dinarily reserved for the most iiiustriouS
cOmediennes.
The former President asuredly merits
the ovations which have saluted MIN. de
is at once n man of action ana an eio-
auent orator He is energetic ana ihsh-
uating. He finds the striking expression
and the moving figure. Nevertheiess. the
great qualities of Monsieur Roosevelt
should not cause us to forget some I'M
projections which are hardly negligible.
Monsieur Roosevelt is before every
thing a well advised and positive poll
tician. He became President. thanks TO
the support of the great maker of trusts.
When he later attacked these tyrants
of industry and finance, they had the
sieur Hartman, the railway king, pub
lished some receipts signed by the for
mer candidate. The President had lost
remembrance of these after his election.
Monsieur Roosevelt is truly practical
Yankee. equally competent in availing
himself of the means of making his for
tune and in the art of gaining parades.
His affairs of conscience are paired with
his business on change. He speaks as
readily of religion as of finance and in
vokes Gamalel and St. Paul to condemn
the coal Oil monopoly. He does not like
NJ. Rockefeller, whom he resembles more
than he may think. Both have the same
desire to succeed on earth as in Heaven.
1t does not suffice NJ. Rookie Teller to pray,
he wishes to make proseytes. He him
self, as well as his son, breaches. Both
speak with eloquence of the misery of
riches and of the felicity of the poor. who
are the chosen of the Lord.-Translated

TOENLkRCE PLANT,
Cushnoc Paper Go. Will
Make News Paper.
Edwin Riley, Liyermore Falls,
Buys Interest in Corporation.
Will Be Its vics President and
General Manager.

Augusta people will be interested in
the fact that changes have been effect
ed in the Cushnoc Paper Co. by which
the corporation will be enlarged in
various ways ard which will in the
early future add 10 small amount to
the prosperity of the city. The capital
stock of the company has been increaS-
ed, the capacity of the plant will also
be increased. and there is a strong
probability that another industry will
be established to operate in connection
With that already in operation.
President +. S. Lyman of the paper
company, in speaking of the changes
Saturday morning. said that Edwin
Riley of Livermore Falls, one OF the
best known paper men in New Eng
land, had purchased an interest in the
CuShnoc Paper Co, and would be the
vice president and general manager of
the company, which change, Mr.. Ly-
man said. would relieve him of great
deal of the mill end of the work.
An addition to the mill building will
be erected in the near future and the
machinery so changed that news paper
may be manufactured. In addition to
this the company will also make a
speciality of bag paper, and negotiations
are now in progress with bag manufac-
turerS to get them to come to Augusta
and start a bag factory in connection
with the paper mill, in which case the
finished bags would be shipped from
Augusta. This would mean from 100
to 200 additional help.
Mr. Riley, the new member of the
paper company, has been division sup
erintcndent for the International Paper
co. on the Androscoggin river. He has
had charge of the company'S Otis mill
ut Livermore Falls, the mills at I'M
bagug. Chisholm and Riley, and also
the Rumford Falls mill. At present
he is president of the Lisbon Falls
Trust & Banking Co, president Of the
Livermore Falls Light d Heat Co., and
of the Record Foundry Co. of Liver
more Falls.
He resigned his position with the In
ternational Paper Co. four years ago
and soon after left with his family for
Il six months trip in Europe. On a re-
cent visit to this city he saw the un
usual advantages which the CuShnoc
mill possessed because of its location
as well as otherwise and was 50 i'm
pressed thereby that his purchase of an
interest followed. At present he and
his family are ut their cottage at Peaks
Island. where they. will remain during
the summer but in the early fall he
will move them to Augusta.
