THE PORTLAND BATH HIGHWAY.
The Federal allotment increased, making
a Joint fuAd of $4,000

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 25. An order
introduced by Councillor Edward w.
Wheeler of Brunswick was passed by
the Governor and Council today, author
izing the State Treasurer, upon the rec
cmmendation of the State Highway De-
partment, to set aside from the proceeds
OF the current issue of State highway
bonds $50, 900, subject to the order of
tie Secretary of Agriculture of the Uni
ted States, to be used in connection with
an appropriation of SOS, 600 from the
Federal Government for the purpose of
constructing highway from Portland to
Bath. This sum is additional to the sum
set aside by the Governor and Coupcil
Nov. 4.
This, with the $40, 900 appropriated by
the Legislature and set aside for this
work by the Governor and Council,
makes total fund of $3.50, 600 raised by
the State to be expended upon this par
ticular highway.
The action by the Governor and Coun-
Gil today was occasioned by a letter re-
ceived By Gov. Haines from the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General, in which
he states that report from the chief
engineer of the Office of public roads in
dicates that the joint fund of $3.50, 900
would improve the highway between
Portland and Bath to a limited extent,
using type of material in the improve
ment somewhere between gravel and
macadam.
Upon review of this, report" says
the Assistant Postmaster General. "It
seemed certain that such constructions
would not be creditable to the Federal
Government and that after completion
the authorities of the State Of Maine
and the neighboring States would I'M
doubtedly build a better type of highway
than that which we could produce for
this sum; and that we could not subject
the type of construction in which the
Government participated to adverse crit
icism and invidious comparison.
at therefore seemed to US that if the
project was to go forward an increase
should be made in the Federal allotment
and we accordingly recommended that
| SIS, 900 additional be allotted to your
State, making total Federal allotment
of $65. 600 10 be used in conjunction with
the contribution of $3.50, 600 by the State
authorities.
''This will produce joint fund OF
$195, 900 and should be sufficient to con-
struct highway that will illustrate q
standard type of construction, which can
be produced for a reasonable cost pei
mile for the class of traffic which pre-
walls; and which the Federal authorities
could substantially approve for similar
conditions throughout all New England
States. Our Recommendation for the
increased allotment has been approved
and is now available"

county.
The career of William Smith, Jr., was
less spectacular than that of his brother
David. Although the direction of both
was toward success, the younger brother
began by learning the stone-cutter's
trade and became foreman of stone-cut-
ers at SIS day within a few years.
He had charge of crews at Dix's, Fox
and Hurricane Islands. He was highly
honored and respected; and before he
was so years OF age he bought the San
born farm at the borders of Stockton
Springs, married the charming widow of
the late Wellman Heagan of Prospect for
a wife, and was able to settle down as a
farmer. His subsequent career has been
that of country gentleman, who was
able to indulge his agricultural tastes
without stint.
The third son, Isaac T. Smith, was the
| offspring of a second wife; and as often
| happens when an aged man marries a
youthful wife, the boy was ailing from
birth. He seemed to care more for gain
ing an education than a fortune.
He taught school for several years and
was conspicuous tor the accuracy of his
books and for the perfection of his hand
writing. When he was man grown he
accepted from his brother David, the
head clerkship of the company's store at
Dix Island. He lahored hard and faith
fully and won the respect of all who knew
him.
But the nervous headaches of his boy
hood followed him. Working in the store
for every day in the week he often laid
abed all day on the Sabbath from these
headaches.
Although he amassed money more
slowly than either of his elder brothers,
he finally saved enough to build huge
barn upon his fathers place, which he
had inherited.
His headaches followed him 10 his
home, remained with him through all
his farming career and finally caused
his death when the newly married BRIDE
groom was less than 40 years of age.
All three of the brothers were rigid in
their advocacy of the Prohibtory doctrine
which had spread over Maine under the
championship of General Neal Dow

MERCHANTS CREDIT ASSOCIATION.

Thirty merchants of Belfast have
formed ar association for protection
against the slow pay customer and the
giving of credit to those who are deserv-
, ing of it, and similar associations have
been formed all over the State by the
/ Merchants Credit Co. with headquarters
in Portland. The officers of the Belfast
association are as follows: President,
VIM. A. Mason; Vice President, James
H. Howes; Secretary, Treasurer and At
torney, H. c. Buzzell; executive board
/ (of which the president and vice presi-
dent are members ex officio) O. E. Frost,
Ralph D. Southworth, H airy w. Clark,
Ralph II. Howes, Maurice D. Towle,
John A. Fogg, v A. Simmons, Ralph L..
| Cooper, l.. A. Weber. The president
is chairman of all committees. The con-
stitution and bylaws adopted are the
same as used by similar organizations
throughout the State.
The fundamental aim of the system is
to bring out persons in their true light
and to encourage the payment of cash,
thus reducing loses by extending credit.
Each member of the association is fur
nished with the district rate book, which
will show whether person is prompt
pay, slow pay or no pay, and they can
act accordingly in extending credit At
ter the publication of the large book, sup
Elements will be issued during certain
periods showing how the rates have been
revised according to how the person
pays up his bills. These ratings will be
confidential with the merchants and
key number is used. No one should get
angry when asked to pay an honest bill,
and when bill is paid it is to the NUT
ual benefit of the customers and the
merchant
Mr. Charles R. Sammis, representa-
tive of the Merchants Credit Co., in
forming the local organization thus ex
planned its purpose:
"What the trading public should insist

rating, so that when they ask for credit,
all that is necessary to refer to is the
Credit Guide.
There are so many people who are
not Intentionally slow in paying their ac-
counts, but are neglectful, and when
they understand that they must be rated
they will endeavor to secure the best
rating possible and will be more prompt
instead of allowing their bills to accumu
late. The Credit Rating Guide is now
published in more than 20 States, and is
renewed every 20 months. In some States
every hamlet is organized under this
system.
"People moving from one State or coun-
~ to another are followed by searching
special reporting service, which shows
if they are good or bad risks and for what
amount.
Supplements to the Rating Guide are
issued every 60 days in the form of
secretary's report, keeping the guide
constantly up to date.
Each subscriber is furnished with let
tiers to be sent to any delinquent debtors
that he may have on his books, giving
them due notice to adjust their accounts
so that no one can complain that there
was an injustice done after the book has
been published and distributed.
