To Protect School Children.

III. uof1pSoH WIS the IFSt WllfeSS
called for the petitioners. He spoke
of the location of the new Grammar
school building, which was To be built
on Hospital street. and advocated the
change of the track TO the west side
of the street as measure of safety
for the children who are TO attend
the school.
Atty. Heath wished to know why it
was asked to move the track for so
long a distance as 1900 feet and sug-
gested that 800 feet would be all that
would be needed. as far as the school
grounds We're concerned,
Have You ever looked into the
COST" asked Mr.. Heath.
THAT is not matter fer one to
consider" replied DR. Thompson.
Mr.. Harrington of the Board of Ed
ucation stated that the board had
sufficient experience at the Williams
school tn realize the danger of the
proximity to the car track. 1t was the
sense of the board that the track
should be moved to the west side of
the street If the track was not
changed now the whole length asked
for, il would only be a short time
when land owners would ask for a
change of the track the rest of the
way. The board wishes the track as
far as possible away from the school
children.
Mr.. Sanborn of the Board of Educa-
ton stated that as a resident of that
section he preferred to see the tracks
moved the entire length of the Ar
senal property. No sidewalks now ex-
ist on the east side of the street

Atty. Maher next took up the mat
ter of the Western avenue petition
which asRs for the changing of the
L., A. 81 w. St. Ry., tracks to the CEN
ter of the travelled way of Western
avenue between the point on Western
avenue. where the location of the
tracks change from the center of the
avenue to the north side, and the in
tersection of Blaine avenue and West
ern avenue.
In opening for these petitioners Atty.
Maher argued that while the street
railway conferred great benefits the
danger to the public should be as-littlc
as possible and public convenience
should be served.
Walter S. Wyman, general manager
of the Central Maine Power Co., who
resides at the corner of Western ave-
nue. and Chestnut street. He believed
that it would be much safer and bet
ter to move the track to the middle
of the street. 1t would look better
and would be benefit to the property
owners as well as adding to public
safety.
Atty Heath stated that this change
would include 2650 feet of construction
and suggested that 1t would take
double trolley poles instead of single
poles and asked the witness where the
street railway would get the other
poles.
Il think our company would let them
use ours replied Mr.. Wyman.
Hon. C. A. Milliken. former mayor
| of Augusta, stated that the change
would be a mutual benefit to the city
and electric road. He believed there
would be less trouble to eveNone with
the track in the center of the high
. way.
| hat is the chief ANNOYANCE in the
matter?" asked Atty. Maher.
Don't Get Descent Street.
| You can't get decent street where
the track is on the side" replied Mr..
Miliiken.
| A lively TIT followed between Mr.
| Milliken and Atty. Heath as to wheth
| er the road on State street from West
ern avenue to the Blaine house was in
| good shape with the track on the side
Mr.. Milliken admitted that the re-
i moval of the track was part of a plar
for the reconstruction of this part o.
Western avenue.
Would you have the track moves
now?"
