LOOKS AFTER THE STATES
BUSINESS.

6oVeTnOF f1anna met nOmDe OF
friends, both old and new, at the in
formal reception at the republican
headquarters In Grand Forks Thurs
day evening. He is meeting friends
wherever he goes. He is making lit
tie visits here and there throughout
the state as he can spare the time.
but he is not spending all his time on
the political campaign. He is first
looking after the business of the state.
When he left Bismarck for Grand
Forks there was not board meeting
In which he is concerned that was due
and had not been held. not bill of
the state Of North Dakota unpaid. not
! q letter requiring the attention of the
governor Of the state unanswered.
Those little facts will give some indi-
cation Of the systematic manner in
which l.. B. Hanna attends to the
duties Of governor Of the state.
This is not peculiar condition, a
spasmodic effort to make record
just before election. 1t is the regular
thing, and it has been 30 ever since
Mr.. Hanna has been governor. 1t is
not the result of a new plan adopted
merely for the purposes of the gov
ernor's, offices. It is a part of the
character Of the man.
Mr.. Hanna is exactly the sort of
man rs governor that he has been in
business. He 10 a rapid worker, and
70 able to turn out a prodigious guam
tity Of work. yet he gives the pleasing
impression of never being In a hurry.
Always he has time to chat with a
; friend. to answer personal letter in
q. personal way, to do quietly and un-
hurriedly a score of things that many
men can never hnd time to do at ALL
He is able to do this because he has
learned how not to waste time. In
the business of the state as in his pri-
vate business he has made 1t a point
to find out what should be done, and
how and when It can be done to the
best advantage. and with the greatest
economy, Of time and effort: and. hav-
ing found out, he acts on his knowl-
edge.
That is why. for instance. meetings
of the state auditing board are held
every ten days instead of once a
month. as formerly. It was found
that bills could be checked UP more
quickly and accurately in this way
than when the supply Of an entire
month had accumulated. That is why
bills are always kept paid right up to
date. and why, when private citi-
zen writes a letter to the governor of
the state, he receives a courteous an
swer within a few days.
Method. system. order. are cardinal
principles with Governor Hanna. and,
because they are so. the business af-
fairs Of the state are conducted in a
business like manner. and the state
has been saved a good many thou
sands of dollars which would have
slipped away had the governor, be-
cause of lack Of order. permitting his
work to crowd him.

A FILTRATION PLANT, AND
EXTENSION TO SO. GARDINER
Are the Recommendations of the Trustees
OF the Gardiner Water District==Many
Interesting Details of the An
nual Report.

The annual report of the Gardiner
Water District, which follows, pre-
sented to the city council Monday eve
ming. is of great interest inasmuch as
IT. takes up conditions which the trus-
tees OF the district have known for
some time must sooner or later be
brought before the citizens of Gardi-
ner. namely. the need OF a filtration
plant and the extension of the water
mains to South Gardiner. The report
on the finances and pumping record
covers the ground completely as to the
exsct condition of the water district.
The report:
To the Honorable Mayor. City Coun-
ell and the Citizens of Gardiner:
When the Gardiner works of the
Maine Water Company were taken
over by the district in 1903, the con-
sulting engineer of the district adj
vised the trustees that though the
quality Of the water in Cobbossee
streem was good, under conditions
then existing. any marked increase in
the population of the watershed would
lay the purity Of the water open to
Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-01-14

suspicion and bring up the question Of
filtration. He said further that with
the rapid education of the water
taking public, and its increasing sensi-
tiveness TO sentimental as we'll as real
objections to the quality of their wa
ter supply. the time would come, in
any case, when the Gardiner supply
would have to be filtered.
Mindful OF this advice. the trustees
have watched the changes that have
been going on with ever increasing
anxiety, and this is what they see:
l. Owing to the higher level at
which the water of the lower stream is
now carried. the growth on the inter-
wales has been killed, and they have
become great mud flats, exposed in
times Of low water.
2. More general tillage and the in
creased use of commercial fertilizers
have brought freshly fertilized fields
down to the banks Of the stream in
many places.
3. The constant use Of 70 motor
boats on the lower stream, where there

once, they thought it wiser to under
take first only such of them as were
necessary to make the plant safe and
sufficient at all times. Having COM
pleted these necessary Improvements,
in 1911, they were faced by the GER
tainty that the water should be fill
tered at the earliest possible moment,
and decided that this matter should
take precedence over the extension to
South Gardiner-unless the people of
South Gardiner should show prospec-
tive income enough to take care of the
extension. In other words the trus-
tees were unwilling to delay the in
stallation Of the filter-plant by under
taking the extension.
At the same time the trustees felt,
and have always felt, that the extern
sion to South Gardiner should be made
as soon as it was practicable, and that
the whole question hinged on making
the district strong enough financially
to undertake both the filter plant and
the extension.
When the question of the extension
was agitated, early in the year, COM
mittec Of gentlemen from South Gar
diner appeared before the trustees, and
the whole matter Of the extension was
thrasaed out, fully and frankly. On
the part of South Gardiner it was con-
tended that under the terms of the act
establishing the district the trustees
had no option in the matter, but could
be compelled to extend their mains to
the limits Of the district, wherever
they might be called for. This inter-
probation Of the act seemed to the
trustees untenable, and pretty far
reaching If it should be upheld by the
courts. They therefore suggested to
the committee that friendly suit be
brought, to determine whether or not
tie point was we'll taken. The suit
was accordingly brought, and the con-
tention Of the trustees was upheld
that the matter of extensions lay with
IL their discretion and judgment
The decision OF the court. however,
in this suit has in nc wise changed

JURY ACQUITS WILLARD
OF PRIZE FIGHTING.
By Verdict Finds That John :
Young's Death Was an Ac-
cident and Sanctions Box
ing.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 13.-Jess
Willard, the heavyweight pugilist on
trial. charged with prize lighting, was
acquitted by jury today after an all
night deliberation. The charge was
the result of the death of Jonn Young,
after a bout at the Vernon Arena w$h
Willard Aug. 22.
BY it's verdict the jury sanctions
boxing contests such as have been
conducted in California since the prize
fighting statute was amended in 1909
Joseph Ford, deputy district attor-
ney, who prosecuted Willard, asked a
verdict which would prevent all ring
contests where the intention to deliver
a knockout blow was obvious. After
the verdict Ford said there would be
no prosecutions in the future unless
the laws were further amended. Judge
Craig disregarded the judicial custom
and commented on the case. He gave
it as his opinion that the state law
prohibiting prize fighting was not set
tied by the verdict.

the wind in wearing away the ex-
posed banks and mud fats, SO that
the water, formerly clear, is now al
ways turbid.
4. The summer population on the
shores of Cobbossee Great Pond, Pleas
ant Pond, and the lower and upper
stream, has increased several hundred
fold snce the works were taken over
by the district.
5. The camps occupied by the sum-
mer population tend, more and more,
to become permanent and we'll ap-
pointed cottages, fitted with plumbing
and modern appliances, and there are
now a number of hotels to serve tram
silent visitors.
6. The influx of summer population
has changed what was formerly open
country into series of villages and
hamlets. composed of camps or cot
tages built close to the shore. 1t is
safe 10 say that an increase Of 10000 in
tN@ farming population of the water,
shed would be less of menace to the
purity of our water than the hundreds
of cottages that have been built along
the shores of ponds and stream.
Z. The water which was beyond
suspicion when the works were taken
over. is now open to suspicion at all
times.
Having done everything practicable.
in consultation with the State authori-
ties, to control the situation, the trus-
tees believe that the conditions may
become menace to the health Of the
community at any time. They are of
the opinion that the construction of a
filter-plant should be undertaken at
once.
Extend to South Gardiner
Another matter which the trustees
have had constantly in view fer some
years is the extension of the mains to
South Gardiner. Heretofore they have
not felt that they would be justified in
undertaking this extension. Without
funds available for making all neces-
sary and desirable improvements at

the opinion of the trustees, that the
mains should be extended to South
Gardiner as soon as practicable
The district is now strong enough to
undertake the extension to South Gar
diner as we'll as the filter-plant, and,
in the opinion of the trustees, the two
undertakings should be carried through
together
It is our intention to appear before
you, in due course, to ask for an cleo
ton to authorize such an issue of
bonds as will be necessary to install an
efficient filter plant and extend the
mains to South Gardiner.
