STATE HOUSE

In an address before the Portland Ro-
tary Club at Portland Friday afternoon,
Paul D. Sargent. chief engineer OF the
Maine State Highway Commission made
the hitherto unpublished statement that
the proposed State highway system OF
1900 miles as laid out by the Maine State
Highway Commission, reaches IS per
cent of the population of Maine and
covers 13 per cent of the total valuation
of the State. This number of miles Gov.
ers only five per cent of the total road
mileage of the State but so carefully
has the commission worked out it's PROB
lem that it runs through every city, e..
cry county seat and every princlpa,
town in Maine. Actually it reaches 23S
cities and towns Of the something owe.
500 within the limits of the State.
Chief Engineer Sargent declared tina;
the commissions plan in the expenditure
of 100000 bond issue was the great
est good to the greatest number" He
said that at the end of this season,
practically 2o0 miles of magnificent new
State highway would be completed.
Discussing the question of State-ai,l
roads Maine had not been idle, he said,
and since 1901, s4,2S0,000 have been en-
pended upon them.
One noteworthy statement made wa
that. beginning next year, it was plan
ned to put all State highways. both rni
proved and unimproved, under the pa
troll system. a force of about 500 patrol
men covering every section of Maine be
ing kept constantly on the highways
from April until late in the fall, main
tanning them in the best possible con-
dition. At the present time the plan has
been to keep patrolmen only on the Sec
tons built, force of 25 only having
been employed this year.
The average cost of maintaining the
State Highway Department, he declared,
has been only about six per cent, re-
markably low figure.
Hon. Philip ]. Deering Of Portland,
chairman Of the Maine State Highway
Commission, delivered an address at the
same meeting. He discussed the State
highway situation and told how the
commission was honestly endeavoring to
give Maine the very best possible ser
vice and to see that it got dollars
worth of highway for every dollar ex-
pended. He declared that when the
present bond issue was expended, the
State would have in the neighborhood
of 400 miles of State highway completed.
covering the heaviest Travelled and most
important thoroughfares.
Both Mr.. Deering and Mr.. Sargen.
were given hearty applause at the con-
clusion Of their talk.

A story was going the rounds on
Water street Saturday which told of
the mean job which some of the stay
at-home baseball fans put up on an
other fan who manifested his patriot
ism for the Red Sox and also demon
strated that there was rich req sport
ing blood in his veins by going up to
Boston last week and taking in the
games of the Worlds Series. This par
ticular fan is one of a number Of
Augustus citizens who are wont to
gather about every evening in the
rear part of one Of the Water street
stores and talk over matters in gen.
eral, the discussion running to poll
tics during the campaigns and at 9TH
er times to such subjects as are time
ly, and naturally of late the subject
has been baseball. The job that the
stay-at-homes put up on the other fell
low was like this: After he had left
for Boston they got together in the
store one night and made a plot that
when the absent one should return
and should gather with the others
about the store register for the eve
ning's talk there should be no refer
ence III any way, shape or manner to
baseball in general and to the Worlds
Series in particular. The victim Of
the plot likes to talk baseball and the
stay-at-homes knew that he would be
full Of it on his return, so they re-
solved not to give him a chance-and
they didn't. He came home Thursday
night and was one of the first ones at
the store after sumner hut he did,'t
get an opportunity to breach the SUBJ
ject Of baseball although it was easy
to see that he was just boiling over
with what he had seen and heard in
Boston. The others kept talking, first
on one subject and then on another
and they never let him get word in
edgewise. and one who was there said
that finally the victim became so dis
gusted that he turned up his coat col
lar and left for home
