Charities and Corrections

At the meeting of the state Board
of Charities and Corrections, June Z,
the following resolution relating to
almshouses as houses Of correction
was adopted.
RESOLVED, That this board dis
approves of the policy Of using the
same institution as an almshouse and
house of correction, as being inher
emily wrong, and injurious to the I'M
fortunate poor, and not in accordance
with the best modern experience Of
this and other states, and being prac-
ticed by only five cities in this State
to only limited extent by two of
these. The board recommends the
immediate discontinuance Of such a
policy for men misdemeanants, and its
discontinuance for women misdemean-
ants as soon as the reformatory for
women. authorized by the last Legis-
lature, is opened.
The Revised Statutes Of Maine per-
NIT the various cities and towns to
certain petty offenders may be SEN
fenced by the courts. The Statute
says also that pending the erection Of
separate institution towns may vote
to use a portion of the alsmhouse for
this purpose, and the overseers of
the poor shall then act as masters of
the houses of correction so established.
The permissive. authority is, however.
actually exercised by only five cities
out Of the four hundred and seventy
odd cities and towns in the State, viz:
Portland, Bangor, Bath, Augusta and
Rockland: the two latter cities follow
this policy only to a limited extent,
and then, so far as the State Board Of
Charities and Corrections has been
able to learn, probably without actual
legal authority, since the attorney
general has expressed the opinion that
the almshouse cannot be used as
house Of correction without formal
vote Of the municipality, and inquiries
made by the board have failed to dis
close any such vote in the two last
named cities. The board sometime
since called the attention of the ov-
erseers Of the poor Of these cities to
the provisions of the Statute and the
opinion Of the attorney general.
The board has for the past year and
a half been carefully studying the
workings Of this double use of the one
both as a place Of custody
for the criminal and home for the
unfortunate poor who are public
charges. In one city, Bath. a definite
portion Of the house is set apart for
use as a house Of correction and the
inmates under sentence are allowed as
little intercourse and contact as pos
sible with the inmates who are there

Maxwell Agents Experience

Representative kucker, a young man
representing the State agents for the
Maxwell automobile, succeeded Monday
in adjusting pleasantly a little differ
ence with the department Of State. He
arrived in the city in the course Of the
day with a Maxwell car which he was
driving from Waterville, a distributing
point Of the automobile company. to
Bath Tor delivery to a purchaser On
the car was neatly printed number
plate made of cardboard bearing the
inscription, ID 31-Good Only While in
Transit" sou;
Now the secretary Of State has rul-
ed that cardboard plates are not to be
used any longer in lieu OF the legal
plates provided by the department. and
when he was advised of the presence
of the car with the cardboard number
plate he caused the apprehension Of
the driver and the local police held the
car pending recommendations from
Secretary Bunker. Upon Investigation
the secretary Of State learned that the
car had been sent from Waterville in
the care of Mr.. Kucker through the
agency Of the Peterson Garage Co. of
Portland, State agents for the Maxwell
car. and he also learned that the gar
age company had been using such
cards as appeared on the car for con-
Fenlence in the delivery Of their MANY
cars sold rather than to attach to all
cars solid metal number plates fur
nished by the department of State
1t appeared that the disregard OF the
letter of the automobile regulations
was not malicious but had occurred
through careless misunderstanding of
the real meaning and intent Of the
regulations pertaining to the use Of
dealers number plates and consequent
~ the department decided that lenien.
cy would be proper policy in the set
Element of the case

tary Bunker allowed the driver tn nh
tam legitimate dealers number plate
in the prescribed manner. also a dr,v-
er's license which he did not possess
when apprehended, and to proceed IN
his journey to Bath with his Maxwell
car to attend the Maxwell picture an.
tertainment. Thus happily ended the
wrong use Of cardboard number plates
and the almost unpleasant exner,sncs
OF the Maxwell representative.
The department Of State is making an
energetic campaign to stop all abuses
OF the automobile regulations and one
OF the abuses which it is bound 70 sto,,
is the use Of cardboard plates. Po,;ce
officials and all town and city off,c,a1.

WINTER FLIES

The winter season, naturally, is not the period in which most persons are likely to take measures to prevent
 the breeding of flies In the sum
 mer. when the flies are thick. the
 wish will be frequently heard that preventive cautions had been taken In the course of an inspection. Jan
 uary T, by the sanitary bureau of New York in response to complaints regarding a. heap of manure, dirt and rubbish not far from a pubic school | in a crowded district Of the city,
 rather startling state of affairs was
 revealed NThe heap of manure was
 found partly covered with tar paper
 and rubbish in which, despite the
 cold weather prevatlfng-a there had been not long before series of
 days with the temperature well down
 toward zero--flies were observed to
 be actively breeding. The Bulletin
 remarks, This emphasizes tIe inn portance of properly caring for horse manure throughout the year and
 teaches anew why the filthy fly is al- ways with us.'' Until definite pre- cautions are taken during the winter ! to prevent the accumulation of heaps of filth and particularly piles of horse manure, in exposed situations under conditions favorable for breed Ling, the fly will probably continue to be the nuisance and the serious danger to health that it has always been. But it must not be forgotten says The Journal of the American l Medical Association, that whenever we are ready to get rid of the fly nuisance, our boards of health can IaccompIish this purpose without | enormous trouble probably after the first year without much additional expenditure, in the budget, and with little annoyance to the public gen. \ Ierally. When it is recalled how much the absence of this undesirable pest would mean for children alone in our crowded city life, it should not be long before there Is aJ general awak- entng to the necessity of taking the now well-recognized precautions dur l ing the winter that will secure great Limitation, if, not entire obliteration of fly breeding
