ing.
Z. s. Clark, Esq, Of Ear Harbor

proponents. He declared that wealthy
residents of Northwest and Seal Han

the sentiment among the natives was
really in favor Of them.

The wife was left with two small chill

Mrs. Kate Douglass Wiggin Riggs
appeared before the committee on in
terror waters in the Senate chamber
Thursday afternoon and urged that
the beauty Of Saco river may be kept
as ii is and that the bill to grant the
Clark Power Co. the rights to erect
dam at Union Falls on the river be
defeated. Hon. Richard Webb of
Portland appeared as attorney for
Mrs. Riggs.
The appearance of Mrs. Riggs was
the feature of the hearing which had
been continued from last week. Her
plea for the river on the banks of
which she has lived SO long was i'm
passioned but none the less sincere.
She admitted that what she had to say
was not logical and that it was based
on sentiment entirely, but neverthe-
less felt that the company might erect
its dam at some other place than near
the little village of Hollis.
IN reply to questions by Judge
Geore L. Emery Of Biddeford, attorney
for Mr.. Clark. Mrs. Riggs agreed that
the river right near her home would
not be particularly affected by the
changes proposed, but she added that

WOUL Id Divide
town OF BRISTOL

The bill to divide the town of Bristol,
which appeared at the sessions of the
LEGISLATURE of 1911 and 1913, was Civ
en- a hearing before the committee on
towns Thursday afternoon. The act
provides for the setting apart Of South
Bristol and Christmas Cove from the
village proper. The hearing was quite
interesting at stages and there was a
goodly attendance of people interested.
The main argument of the propo-
nents was that the roads in South
Bristol were neglected and evidence
was presented by Charles S. Hichborn
and Arthur z. PARROT of Augusta and
several residents Of South Bristol
showing that the roads were in poor
condition and that one year all the
money which had been appropriated
for improvements in that part of the
town which wants to be set off was
not expended. The proponents were
represented by Arthur S. Littlefleld Of
Rockland and Cyrus r. Topper Of
Boothbay Harbor
Nathaniel j. Hanna and ex-Repre
sentative Robert J. Dram appeared for
the opposition. They contended that
the town had appropriated this money
for the roads and that the dissatisfied
portion received as much in proportion
as any other part Of the large town.
There was talk OF compromising and
il was suggested that the committee
return bill in a new draft favoring
division, but it has not been deter
mined just where that division will
take place
