FIRE Loss OF $4,000
IN FAIRFIELD
Big StOrehOuse on Summit Street Is
Quilted and Contents Ruined Just
Before Midnight

Two-thirds of a long building
owned by II. n. Bean and occupied
by him as a storage place for pota-
toes and farm machinery, was de-
stroyed by fire that was discovered
about 11.30 Sunday evening The
building Is in three sections and the
fire caught in the middle part, de-
stroying that and the northern addi-
ton. The cause of the fire is UNI
known.
The building is nearly opposite the
Maine Central passenger station and
close to it is the Maine Central
freight shed the Gerald opera house
and many wooden dwellings. The fire
had a good start when discovered and
the place was a mass OF hames. FOR
tunately no wind was blowing, but
many of the occupants of nearby
houses started to remove their house
hold effects The vicinity was in a
state of excitement for time.
The fire department was summoned
by the ringing of the Universalist
church bell. Three lines of hose were
laid in quick time and water was
played freely. The two sections of
the building where the fire had a
strong hold were beyond saving, but
some of the walls are standing. The
southern section was badly scorched
in the dividing wall and several fires
we're extinguished on the roof.
The fire was under control at mid
uight but water was kept on the ruins
until long after l o'clock.
Loss was estimated to be $4,000

BETTER \ HIGHWAYS.
ASKED FOR
State Grange Committee Discusses
Maintenance of State Roads.

meeting of the special commit
tee of the Grange. which is consid
ering changes in the general highway
laws, met at the Cony house in Au-
gust recently.
The discussion was devoted to the
need Of proper maintenance of State
roads and of town roads.
1t is a fact that is more or less
we'll known and observed that while
the State road law specifies that each
town shall take care of its own State
road after it has been constructed
and that this work shall be done TO
the satisfaction of the State highway
commissioner that only small per
centage of towns-probably not over
one-third OF them-make any pre-
tense towards maintaining these
roads. The committee consider that
the most feasible scheme OF main
tanning the State road will be by hay
ing the work done under the superyi-
sion of the State highway depart
men; through its State road inspect
ors, and that funds for the mainte-
nance of these roads should come
from an annual license fee for priv
ilege of operating automobiles, said
fees to be graded on the basis of
horse power. Such a law is in oper-
alton in all OF the New England
states and in several of the states out
side of New England. 1t is estimated
that the present number of registra
lions would yield about $4,000 per
year for this purpose.
Proper maintenance of the town
roads, it is believed, can best be
brought about by the payment of
certain amount of State aid per mile
to such towns as will carry out their
maintenance work under the direc-
ton of the State commissioner or
some other county or State authority.
1t is also believed that the State
fund for road maintenance should be
distributed among such towns as may
apply for it and agree to eXpend their
money according to instructions. the
division to be made on the mileage
basis. Also that towns receiving
such aid should be obliged to raise
at their annual town meeting mini
mum amount for ordinary road pur-
poses.
1t will be remembered that at for
mer meetings of the committee it
was the unanimous opinion of the
committee that some form of super
vision of ordinary road expenditures
should be devised to bring about
more uniform, and it is believed more
economical methods of road mainte-
nance. That it is also the opinion of
the committee that vast amount of
money could be saved by organizing
some system for wholesale purchas-
ing of road machinery and materials
AS formerly stated the committee

State that they shall be pleased to
