There is no one able or anxious to deny the value of a method. But there are many who realize that method IS not everything, and that strict adher' ence to 1t sometimes becomes nuls- ance. There is madness in hard and fast rules. The strict adherence to some method is almost as bad as hay ing no method at all. We should re- member that our actions have. at all times, to be guided by circumstances.

'These assessments can be paid in
ten annual installments, and it will
therefore be seen that the payment for
pavement does not work hardship
upon the property owners. In view of
the fact that the deferred installmcnts

est Therefore If 6fty foot lot Is as
sessed $500 for the paving you~will see
that the annual tax will be but little
over $40 per year. And experience has
shown that no one who has had the
advantages Of good paving would give
them up for such a small yearly taxa.

Pacific Salmon In
New England Streams

Numerous reports have been received
by the bureau of fisheries confirming
early indications that run Of hump.
back salmon has been established on
the coast Of Maine. The fish that have
been observed are the first results Of
plants made in February, 1914. The
humpback salmon is a. rapid grower,
and attains full maturity in two years.
For this reason, and because Of its high
value as food fish when taken in
salt water or when fresh run from Che
sea, the bureau selected this species for
introduction into selected New England
streams. Many fish weighing five to
seven and half pounds have been TAX.
on or seen in Perobscot river, Maine,
and 20 werp captured alive by agents
of the bureau near Bangor and held in
an effort 70 obtain ripe eggs. From
two or these fish 1900 eggs were taken
on September end, AFTER fertilization,
sent to the Craig Brook hatchery for in
cubation. Accounts of the appearance
of this new fish in various minor rivers
have come in, and in the Dcnnys river
there was noteworthy run which be-
gan as early as August 10 and was con-
tinuing as late az September "a. The
local fishermen caught and ate large
numbers, and during the week Of Sep
tember 20 an employe Of the Green
Lake hatchery took is fish eight
males and seven females) which had
passed through the fishways in dams in
Dennys river and were dropping down
stream in a spent condition. nt the
same time both live and dead fish were
observed below the dams.
