Of the city in building sewers for the
season Of 1915 and following the read
ing Of the list Of new sewers he in
PRODUCED an order which was passed
providing for the publication of the
list Of sewer assessments and a no.
tlce of hearing on the same. The hear
ing on the list OF assessments will be
al the next regular meeting Of the city
government
Edgar A. Russ, deputy State sealer
Of weights and measures. appeared be-
fore the joint session 10 outline a
policy in the sealing of weights and
measures. This work is now done by
the local sealer who, under the pres
ent provision SET forth is a very old
SldtGiS, ISCclNtS lees amounting
! two cents 10 a dollar for each instru-
ment inspected and inspection is au-
! thoriZed but once year. Thus. though
he may inspect weights and measures
at any time he may wish TO do SO, he
receives payment for his work only
for his annual examinations. The
deputy State seaier proposes that Au-
susta adopt the salary plan of admin
lSterlng the weight and measures laws,
as has been done in various munich
palltles in Maine. Under this plan the
local sealer would be paid salary by
the year for perhaps three complete
inspections in the course Of the year
and the fees would be given once a
year into the city treasury Deputy
Russ declared that such a plan would
be of decided advantage 10 both deal
ers and patrons and strongly advised

a gay tale of love and travel

The war is admirably handled
in this issue Of The American

Money Side of the War" and
gives many important and amaz-

domination of the sea by any
power.
In the same number Ring w.
