Frederick w. Plaisted. Governor,
And the Honorable Council:
For the past four weeks | have had
under consideration the acceptance OF
the position of assistant director OF

, Dec. II, 1910 Accordingly. 1 present
to you in this letter my resignation

Immediately on receipt of the Offer
attempted to sec Your Excellency and
was advised that your health was in
such condition that YOU could not see
callers, then decided to let the mat
ter rest until after the present adj
ministration had been inaugurated.
My first thought was, and my
thought today is the same, that my
present employers, the people of the
State of Maine, should have the first
claim on my services, provided they
ldesired to retain me. but not having
had opportunity of taking this matter
up with you personally l have decided
in justice to myself that l should no,
longer delay in making decision.
1t is with the deepest regret that
relinquish the work of directing the
State Highway department. with which
have grown up since its inception
and for the success of which l shall
always hold the deepest personal in
|terest.
The new work which | take up as ar
assistant director of the office with the
supervision of all it's engineering work
which reaches into practically every
State in the union affords. so mucf
greater opportunity for advancement
in my chosen line of highway engineer
ing that it seems too good to let pass

thinking in case the Legislature ShoulC
decide to make any changes in the
present State Highway law that the
time between now and then would bt
ample for the consideration of sucf
measure and the Legislature WoulI
thereby have the benefit of any know1-
edge which l have which might be
valuable in making such amendments
Trusting you will receive this resig-
nation in the spirit which it is made
and accept the same, and with assur-

Report Favors Giving Added Power
10 Highway Department.

State Highway Commissioner Paul
ID. Sargent Wednesday filed his report
for 1910 with the Governor and Council
The report which covers in detail the
operations for 1910 is in part as fol-
lows:
The year 1910 has been by far the
most successful year in the history of
state road building in Maine. A total
expenditure of s43s,63S.14 was made
during the year on State and trunk
line roads. of which the State fhrn-
ished SILL ,4S1.3l.
I12.33 miles of State aid road and 7.99
miles of trunk line road have been
completed during the year. All this
has been accomplished with very little
friction between the State highway
department and the municipal officers
of the towns. This has been brought
about by better understanding by all
parties interested of the requirements
of the state highway law and the
specifications under which the work is
done.
The department has exercised closer
supervision this year over all State
road work and as has happened in the
past where we have expended the most
TING and money for supervision we
have secured the best roads.

aid were received as follows:

FAST DISAPPEARING WOOD MA.
TERIALs.

The early settlers, coIonists. and
pioneers encountered trackiess for
est extending from the Atlantic 70
| the prairies, the removal OF which was
necessary before they could create
farming land. AS the country began
70 be settled demand upon the forests
was made for building material. Al
hundred years ago almost all agri-
cultural structures, and buildings OF
all kinds In farming communities.
were constructed from lumber pro-
cured from nearby forests. Even a
lew years ago the farmer used moth
ing but lumber for farm buildings
The timber was cut from his own
land and sawed at nearby mills, so
that his own trees we're converted in
70 his troughs, dairy houses, walks,
fences, and even his house and barn:
hence the high price OF lumber conse-
quent upon the rapid decrease in the
country's timber supply, was felt last
by the farmer-though now the de-
mand for new building material is
nowhere more keenly felt than on the
farm.
Such q material has been found in
concrete, which In some instances has
proved superior to lumber. brick, or
building stone. and is being used for
all kinds of farm structures from
silos to sidewalks, and stables to
dwellings. This material, TOO, like his
lumber, can generally be largely pro-
duced from his own or nearby land,
las nothing but the cement and metal
bars for reinforcement need be pur-
chased from afar, and much Of the
work can be done by the farmer and
with ordinary farm labor under the
direction of a skilled concrete worker.
Frequently concrete users have made
costly mistakes by not informing
themselves properly, before starting
their work, concerning the correct
methods of making good concrete. AS
guide in the selection Of the proper
materials, especially the sand and
gravel which form six seventies of the
solids used in concrete, the u. s. de-
pertinent of agriculture issued Farm
ers Bulletin No. 461, containing sug-
gestions which should be observed.
Concrete is manufactured stone
formed by mixing cement, sand, and
stone or gravel q. e. pebbles) together
with water. The cement is but a
small part Of the mixture, and Is the
product Of skilled worlnnen under the
supervision OF the manufactures who
must compete with all other makers
Of like material; but the sand and
gravel constituting one-t third or one
half of the final product must be Sc
lected and prepared by the farmer,
and this Is where most failures orig
mate. Various amounts of each are
used, according to the use which the
finished product is to be put. The
mixture in which all the spaces or
voids between the stones or gravel are
filled with sand and all the spaces be-
tween the grains Of sand are filled
with cement Ia the ideal mixture. The
ideal is seldom attained, but the bull
letin gives detailed instructions and
instructive illustrations, which should
go far towards enabling the farmer
to closely approach it.
