The Kennebec Open to Navigation.

BATH, Me, April 8. The Kennebec
River is now open for navigation from
Augusta to the sea. The last of the ice

VICTIM SAYS 1T is OUTRAGEOUS
AND APPEALS TO THE COUNTY
COURT TODAY.

For some time there has been COM
plant after complaint lodged with the
mayor and city commissioners about
a certain piece of property on Broad
way and extending back to the alley
in the rear of the telephone exchange,
being in a very unsanitary condition.
The owner of this property has been
in the city court and paid fines once
or twice before upon complaint of pee
ple living in that neighborhood and
this morning when he was again nailed
into the court, he was assessed fine
of twenty-five dollars and told to
clean that place or the fine would be
assessed every day until 1t was done.
He thought that was a pretty stiff
fine for this offense and Immediately
took an appeal to the county court
where the case will be heard at the
next term of court.
The mayor when seen at his office
this morning stated that he was tired
of begging people to do what the law
prescribes they shall do, the city ply

that he was giving the last warning

rains which fell during the fall, and
during the month of May the rains
were excessive, but the six months
taken as a whole have shortage of
the general average of moisture. Crops
grew very fine until the latter part of
June when they began to deteriorate
on account of a lack of moisture. Fol-
lowing is the rainfall by months:
