GOOD ROADS IN
STATE OF MAINE
Very Important Measure Intro
0uCed in House.
TWO KINDS OF HIGHWAYS
Has Stats Wide Support Of All Inter
ested in 6etterment and
Extension Of Maine
Highways.

Augusta-one of the most impor.
tant and most Statewide measures is
that which will probably be known as
the Scates-Grange Bill for Good Roads
IN Maine. which has been introduced
IN the House by Representative John
Clark Scates OF WestbTook.
The bill is the result of more than
n years constant study OF our own
highway problems and also the high
way laws of other States. IL is con.
sidored the most perfect, equitable.
and practical bill ever drafted. Two
objects have been constantly in view
first, the total elimination of politics.
and second the adoption of method
that will prevent wasteful eXpendl-
tlreh.
The bill provides for the creation of
State highway board of three mem
zers to be appointed by the Governor.
SO arranged that the term of office OF
only one member expires in any one
year. The salary of members Is i've
hundred dollars. The board, with tho
consent OF the Governor and Council.
! Is empowered TO select a state high.
way engineer and such other engin.
eers, Supervisors and assistants on
such time and terms as may be for
the best interest of the State, the OBJ
ject being To have the department
conducted exactly the same as any
other great business enterprise, merit
and efficiency only TO govern.
Two classes OF roads are TO be es.
tablished, both of which shall receive
State aid. The state Roads" or
main thoroughfares are to he laid
out by and constructed wholly under
the supervision of the highway hoard.
They shall be such continuous routes
| through the State as will accommo-
date the greatest volume of business.
agricultural, manufacturing and tour
ist on the smallest possible mileage.
and such system shall he nterlocking.
That is the system of one county
must connect with those OF adjoining
counties, so as to make continuous
route. The State must bear at least
| one-half the cost of such main thor.
| oughfares and AZ much more as well
be equitable and just, and may, In
some instance bear the whole costs.
The municipalities through which
they run are to bear such part of tho
cost as is equitable and just. In no
case To exceed one-half the cost. Once
all or any part OF these roads are
! constructed. the State is forever 90
maintain them.
