THE STATE HIGHWAYS.
Annual Report Of Commissioner SARGENT.

Annual Report Of Commissioner Sargent.
Following is an abstract of the annual
report of State Highways CO mmissioner
Sargent, which has been submitted to
the Governor:
The year 1910 has been by far the
most successful year in the history of
State road building in Maine. A total
expenditure of $428.638.74 was made
during the year on State aid and trunk
line roads, of which the State furnished
$211, 48l. 81.
1928 miles of State aid road and 7.99
miles of trunk line road have been COM
pleted during the year. All this has
been accomplished with very little fric-
tion between the State highway depart
ment and the municipal officers of the
towns. This has been brought about by
better understanding by all parties in
terested in the requirements of the State
highway law and the specifications under
which the work is done.
A total of sos applications for State
aid were received as follows:
Towns 1900. ................... 40
Organized plantations. Observation-Disclosures. IS
County Commissioners for unincorporated
townships. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. sc
Total. sos
Of the above number fifteen towns have
applied to the department for permission
to allow their joint funds to lay over I'M
til 1911 and be expended at that time.
Permission has been granted.
In these fifteen towns total joint
fund of SO, 305.6 2 is available in 1911.
Upon satisfactory expenditure of this
amount, State aid amounting to 81, 626. IL
already appropriated will be approved
and paid
In three towns the work has not been
completed; in two towns the work done
did not pass Inspection; in one town work
was satisfactorily completed but State
aid has not been paid as portion of the
right of way over which the road has
been built has not yet been settled by
the town. From two towns final reports
have not been received. To these eight
towns State aid amounting to s., 075 90
was apportioned and will be paid on
proper evidence Of satisfactory work
having been completed.
In 1872 places the joint funds have been
expended in completing as many pieces
of highway Improvement.

THE STATE FINANCES.

The Democrats have been bowling
with delight about the so called deficit in
the treasury, but when carefully analysed
the deficiency doesn't exist, says the
Augusta correspondent of the Portland
Sunday Press. In nu shell the condi-
ton of the State treasury was just this:
The legislature appropriated lot of
money, it neglected to raise by taxation
enough money to meet the appropria-
tons owing to failure to take into con-
sideration the changed conditions result
ing from a change of law and so there
were many bills and not enough money
to pay them, 1t was an unfortunate
mistake on the part of the last legisla-
ture, but there was nothing culpable
about it. What money was expended,
was we'll expended, and there is dol
lars worth of work to show for every
dollar spent. The Democratic auditor
and treasurer have been juggling figures
to show that there was tremendous de-
felt, but though they may have fooled
some people by their figuring they
haven't deceived them all. The State
Of Maine is as sound financially today as
it mas ever been, just as Governor Fer
maid said it was, and no men know it bet
ter than do those who have been amusing
themselves in Juggling figures.

PROGRESSIVE RESULTS.

Large Advancement Shown by the Sixty
First Annual Report of the Union Mutual
Life.
Decisive and substantial advancement
was recorded by the Union Mutual Life
Insurance company of Portland, Maine,
as result of the work of 1910 The
sixty-frst annual report shows an in
crease of over million dollars in assets,
$220,0O0 in surplus, and marked gains in
income and insurance in force-all items
of the utmost Importance in connection
with the development of the business.
Commercial men have not as a rule re-
ferred to the results Of last years work
with any particular enthusiasm, many of
them finding it far from active, and it is,
therefore, particularly satisfactory to
observe that we'll known home institu-
ton could roll up such progressive re-
suits at time when some lines were
finding it difficult to keep the figures
square with other years.
1t is pretty we'll understood that the
Union Mutual, under the able and pro-
gressive management of President Fred
E. Richards, who has filled the executive
office for seventeen years, is particularly
Jealous to be Of help in promoting
Names development and enterprises,
but probably it is hardly realized that in
pursuance of this policy already more
than six million dollars have been placed
in the State where the money would be
of assistance to worthy undertakings.
This large sum cannot have failed to be
especially beneficial in contributing to
the advancement of the State, and merits
the appreciation of the people by placing
their life insurance with the company
that is SO important factor in the well
fare of Maine. The policies are just as
good as any to be found, and money paid
to it will be kept within the borders of
the State.

attention they are receiving in the pub.
lie press. The exploitation of Demo
cratic activities in framing new tariff
law will make less fresh the party's ap-
pearance in legislative roles ten months
from now. But their initial appearances
at this juncture fushes the mid-winter
interest at the Capitol-b -thePotomac
and makes the waning session of Con-
gress something unusually worth noting.
The apportionment fight has taken a
new turn in the House of Representa-
tives and at this time is fast and furious.
A few days ago Representative Bur-
, leigh, who has had prominent part in
the framing of the bill and in the Or
ganization for its passage, hoped it was
all but won. The old House leaders,
who had been quiescent, have started up
again and are trying either to keep the
House at its present membership of 391
or to prevent the enactment of any ap-
portionment law at all this winter. Of
course this means a hot fight.
Probably they will not succeed in
either direction, but their efforts are nat
urally giving some concern. Either
proposition would imperil the plans to
give Maine four members of the House
for the next ten years. AS only about a
dozen States are particularly interested
in increasing the House membership so
as to retain the same number of Repre-
sentatives they now have, there is quite
a group for the opposition to work upon.
Gov. Burleigh has been ''at it" night
and day to counter this opposition move
ment. A plan was advanced to hold a
Republican caucus on the pending appor-
tionment bill. Governor Burleigh has
been resisting that, as have the other
friends of Maine. A good lot of support
for the proposition Maine favors comes
from the Democratic side. 1t might be
question whether Republican major
ity of the caucus would favor it but the
result of majority vote there would be
to bind Republicans to act as a unit.
Gov. Burleigh favors taking the bill into
the House in the usual way and putting
it to vote there of all the members.
He insists that apportionment is not a
strict party question and should not be
made partisan by the holding of eau
Gus.
He believes he has good majority of
the House organized in favor of the bill
that would give Maine four members and
does not intend to yield the advantage
that has come from thorough and care
full preparation and canvassing. Just
now it looks as though the caucus sug
gestion would be defeated and if it is,
the bill, which has privileged standing,
may get before the House within week
or ten days.
The contest has been very strenuous
one and the Maine folks at Washington
will be glad when it is over. While
there are elements of uncertainty, they
are still fairly confident of winning.

TRUNK LINE WORK.

Under section thirteen Of the law work
mas beenN done on nine sections OF main
thoroughfares in the following towns:
Poland, Casco, Rockland, Rockport,
South Portland, kennebunk,, klttery,
OK and Wells. Contracts have been
let Tor ID. II miles OF road and 7.99 miles
nave been completed.
The total expenditure on this work has
been $66, 1922. 80. OF this the State has
furnished $3e, 1914; the balance, $A,-
9l0.07 having been subscribed by indlvld-
uals and appropriated by municipalities.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendations are
made: That the State commissioners
and municipal officers be authorized to
jointly appoint foreman to take charge
OF State road work. Such provision is
found in the New Hampshire and the
Vermont State road law.
That when State road designations are
changed on petition. the board which
hears the petition be given authority to
determine which road in the town is the
main thoroughfare and to designate that
road.
That authority for properly maintain
ing State roads already constructed be
given the State highway department and
that funds for this work be raised by an
annual license fee for the respiration of
automobiles and the operators thereof.
These provisions exist in many States.
1t is estimated that licensing the auto
mobiles owned in the State would pro-
duce from forty to fifty thousand dollars
annually.
That section thirteen of the law be so
amended that the State commissioner
can sign contracts for trunk line work
instead of having these contracts signed
by the municipal officers as they now are
to comply wit technicality of the law.
The State pays the entire expense of
these roads.
