WAYS AND BRIDGES
HEARING ON THURSDAY

An elaborate presentation of the re-
solve giving $4,000 for each Of the
next two years to aid in the construc-
ton of the bridge between Portland
and South Portland, was made before
the committee on ways and bridges
Thursday afternoon, Gov. Curtis
lounging in the doorway much Of the
time as an attentive listener.
After Rep. Greenleaf of Portland
had finished telling why the resolve
should be passed, Senator Colby of
Bingham, asked him what he thought
the committee ought to do in face Of
the fact that they had already recon-
mended bridge appropriations rising
100000 whereas the Governor had in
timated that the State should not
spend over $4,000 to 100000.
What do you think the Governor
would say to this?" Senator Colby
asked.
Well" returned Mr.. Greenleaf, II
imagine Well have to come under the
hammer of the sealer. We are all a
good deal like the creditors of a
bankrupt and will have to take our
share with the other creditors"
1t was not until after this dialogue
that Gov. Curtis appeared.
Rep. Sanborn of South Portland told
the committee all about the physical
conditions relating to the new bridge
which is to cost 81 10000 and be built
of steel covered with concrete. He
explained that the Portland Terminal
Co. would pay 40 per cent of the cost
and the street car lines which crossed
the bridge ten per cent He said tho
bridge was a triumph of engineering
skill.
Hon. J. p. Bass Of Bangor, urged
that something be done to prevent
young boys and girls who do not hold
licenses, from operating cars and said
he knew of number Of instances
where accidents had occurred through
such practices. He thought it would
be wise to require an examination of
ambitious youngsters.
