Senator Donigan will probably have
a fourth try at his bridge bill the COM
Ing session. The new bill will. it is I'M
dcrStOd. propose tax of fraction OF
a mill to furnish fund for the build
ing Of all bridges in the State over 40
feet IN length. No one seems to know
Just how many bridges there are in
the state over 40 feet in length or just
how great a burden such a measure
would impose upon the State. 1t Is felt
by some of Senator Dcnigan's asso-
ciates that the passage of such meas
ure ut the present session of the Leg
isatpre with the demand for economy
SO strong would be very unWise SO that
there is POSSIBILITY that once more the
Somerset senator's favoritc bill will
suffer defeat. Bills introduced this
week are also likely to give some idea
of what will be the program of the
dominant party in regard to matters Of
taxation AS has already been stated
in the journal the school mill tax act
winch was passed at the session of the
Legislature two years ago will meet
with great deal of opposition but
whether the opposition will be suffi-
cient to prevent the passage of the
amendment desired by the Maine State
Grange doing away with the dstribu-
tion according to valuation remains to
be seen.
