SOUTH GARDINER,

The action IF the trustees of the
Gardiner Water District in recon-
mending in their annual report that
the water mains be extended to South
Gardiner and the announcement OF
their intention to request special
election for that purpose as required
by the charter is highly pleasing to
the residents of this part OF the dis
trict The lack of water here has re-
suited in high rates of insurance; has
retarded the industrial development CT
this section since ii is practically I'M
possible to induce any industry to To-
cate in a place when fire protection
is utterly lacking; and has deprived
the people here of the great con-
venience OF the ready supply of pure
water for their homes to which they
have felt entitled for the last 10 years
and for which their property is found
ed. The promise of the trustees is
therefore much appreciated and it Is
hoped that a vote will be secured up
on the question at once.

Shall Gardiner, Me-, Have A
New High School Building?

basis for uniting all ages and all
ranks and all noble causes in our civic
life. Moreover, our schools must more
largely take on the duties and respon-
sibilities of the home and the church.
More and more must they be Inspired
by the ideals and thoroughly equipped
for these enlarging tasks and response
bilities demanded by unfolding society.
d. Gardiner needs far above every
thing else to develop community spirit
and community effort. In the erection
of a new High School building we
have a golden opportunity without un-
reasonable expense, of providing for all
the essential features of a Community
House. The lecture hall could be used
for a general assembly room, and for
the social events of both the student
body and the general public. The
rooms for our superintendent and
principals could also be the head
quarters of our municipal officers and
of civic and philanthropic enterprises.
e. Gardiner needs this Community
High School. Considering it's popula-
ton and limited material resources, it
would be doubtful if any other place
on the globe could be more highly or
ganized. But it's organizations are
separate, unrelated, independent, con-
flicting, and sectarian. Organized for
almost all kinds of interests and
pleasures, yet there is no common
spirit, no common purpose, no common
home. We therefore need Commun-
ity House around which all good
forces may center
f16
classes, fraterpities, schools, missions,
and churches are here in luxuriant
abundance. But it is a union OF ef-
fort that we need. To secure THESE
we need some common home IN winch
and from which shall center ana
emerge the unified wisdom and
strength of all good people and forces
and organizations.
We therefore need this Community
High School It should be fitted with
it's numerous rooms, ministering TO our
social, intellectual,-and moral needs
Rooms for recitation, and for reading
and study; rooms for reference Where
we should delve into the histories OF
the past aud rooms for the discus
sion where we should debate the liV-
ing questions of the present; rooms
for rest and recreation; and in. and
through them all there should breathe
an atmosphere ever inviting US to
come out of our little selves and sects
into those broader human relation
ships wherein the noblest ideals have
been born and the mightiest forces OF
achievement have been engendered.
More than this, such building
should become the center and source
of aims and impulses relating to the
material, industrial, and civic ques-
tions that concern our city, State, and
nation 1t should exercise a constant
and growing influence and power in
all parties and politics. and in all those
varied interests which seek to adorn
and beautify the city in which.we live
to secure just laws and righteous gov
ernment and ennoble and dignity the
meanings and responsibilities of al
true citizenship.

To the Honorable Mayor and Members

Gentlemen
AS you are aware, on the 18th instant
I appeared before your Honorable Body
and stated my position in regard to the
office of auditor. Since that time l have
given the matter careful consideration
by the council. or rather the want of
action, is. to say the least, unbusiness-
like and not in accordance with the pro-
visions of the charter. and would not be
likely to promote good work and harmo-
NY for the coming year. Also, If | should
be elected and accept the office, l should
still insist on being auditor in reality
as we'll as in name. And l am satisfied
that my insisting on certain bills of ac-
count being entered under departments
and headings that would best show the
people where their money was spent is
the direct cause of the present position
taken by the council.
In consideration of the foregoing I will
take this opportunity to withdraw my
name as candidate for the Office of audi
tor for the city of Gardiner.
