Plan Forest Protection in
Maine at Bangor Meeting

Bangor. Me-, April S.--Plans for the
protection of the forests of Maine dur
ing the coming season were discussed
at meeting of the land owners and
fire wardens held in this city Wednes-
day morning, at the call of Blaine s.
Viles, the State land agent and forest
commissioner. Mr.. Viles was accom-
panied by c. L. Philbrook, the chief
clerk of his department. There was a
good attendance and matters of inter
est to the timberland owners were
generally discussed.
The first matter taken up was that
of the deputy wardens on the Penob-
scot waters. The list of deputies were
read, and suggestions were called
for as to changes or improvement in
the service.
The forest commissioner said that
on the whole the fire warden service
is pretty well equipped with tools, al
though some We're lost last year.
He had a model of the new steel
tower that the department has adopt
ed for use on the mountain lookout
station, on exhibition at the meeting.
This tower is OF steel truss work sur
mounted by a wooden house with
glass windows.
This tower comes in 12-foot sections
up to go feet, so tower, IL, "a, SO, As or
so feet may be ordered and installed
on the mountains when they are need
ed The towers are each to be equipped
with maps of the localities which they
cover with the alidade to locate the
fire.
Hon. Taber D. Bailey of Bangor
suggested that there should be a chief
warden for the lower END of the east
branch of the Penobscot waters which
is one of the most dangerous fire To-
calities in the cumberland districts. B.
n. Howe seconded Mr.. Baileys idea.
It is now handled from Patten and
Mr. Bailey suggested it could better
be handled from Bangor.
Mr.. Viles suggested to the land
owners present if at any time they
found that their holdings were not
properly covered by the wardens they
should write to his department.
The forest commissioner announced
that he had received hundreds of ap-
p1ications for positions as wardens and
patrols in the fire district and he read
the list in order that those present
might furnish any information they
might have about the applicants. This
list was confined to those who applied
for work on the Penobscot waters.
The forest commissioner said that
this year in the air line automobile
roads banners would probably be put
up calling attention to the autoists of
the danger Of fires from cigars, cigar
cites and matches

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council viii Be Held at 10 A. M.
Friday, April "a.

1t is mandatory for selectmen to
choose q road commissioner or COM
missioners and one or more members
of the board of selectmen are eligible
as road commissioners, according to
an opinion rendered Wednesday by
Scott Wilson of Portland, the attorney
general, in response to an inquiry made
by o. L. Sprague, chairman of the
board of selectmen of the town of
Corinna, Penobscot county.
The opinion of Attorney General Will
son is as follows:
Chapter 213 of the laws of 1913 is
the final word of the Legislature upon
this matter; and under it, we think,
it is now mandatory upon the select
men to choose road commissioner
or commissioners. Previously it was
optional with the town as to whether
they would elect, but the statute
now, we think, makes it compulsory
upon the selectmen TO choose. Not
only does the statute read shall an
nually choose" but since, as l inter
pref the law, the seleetmen may
choose one of their own number and
are expressly directed to fill vacancies
under Section Is, as amended, it would
seem that the Legislature intended
that the office should always be filled
and by appointment.
Section IS expressly provides that
the selectmen may act as road com
missioners. This, l construe, to be
a different proposition from that of
the revised statutes, which provided
that in case of failure by the town
to elect, the selectmen should dis
charge the duties. They were not
road commissioners under the old
statutes, but simply performed the
duties imposed upon the road commits
sioners. The statute now reads that
they may now act as road commits
sioners, which ! interpret to mean
of their own number to that office.
That being SO. there would seem to
be a reason for the view that the Of
flee might be left vacant through a
failure of the selectmen to choose, as
ii would necessarily follow, we think
that under the old statutes the select
men would then perform the duties;
but since, under the present statute. as
we view it, one or more of them are
eligible TO appointment. it would seem
that the language of the statutes
which provides that the selectmen
shall choose and shall fill vacancies,
must be held 10 be mandatory.
Il think I have in the above an
swered your second question. viz:
That one or more members of the
board of selectmen are eligible to ap-
pointment as read commissioners"

He said that he wanted all chief
wardens to take an inventory of their
tools and equipment before the season
opens in order that the wardens and
patrols may be fully prepared when
their work begins.
1--WE expect to be able to make
good many improvements this year,.
said the forest commissioner. II hope
that some time we win be able to
have our lookout stations near enough
together so that two stations may
sight the same fire.
Then, he added, IF the chief war;
den has a good map of the section he
can determine easily the exact loca-
ton of the fire.
He impressed on the chief wardens
the Importance Of having their tele-
phone lines in order before the work
of patrcling is commenced.
John F. Philippi, chief forester of
the Great Northern Paper Co, extend
ed to the forest commissioner the ap-
probation of his company for the eff
ficient work done in their section dur
ing the past year. Mr.. Philippi stated
that timberlands on the Penobscot
waters received a good share of the
money expended by the department
during the past season.
At the close of the meeting the for
est commissioner conferred with the chief
wardens and timberland owners present
in relation to the appointment of the
men for the seasons work, application
being made out and filed with the chief
