THE Law COURT
OVERRuLES THE
C|Ty'S EXCEPTIONS
Jurisdiction of Public Utilities
Commission Cannot Be En-
Iarged by Consent of Parties
Rescript Says Commission Has
No Jurisdiction to Apportion
Expenses Of Repairs to Bridge
After They Are Made

4 rescript has been handed down
from the law court overruling the eX-
ceptions filed by the city of Augusta
in the case, City Of Augusta VS.. the
Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville
filed following a hearing before the
Public Utilities Commission which
ended with tho commissions declara-
ton that il had no jurisdiction in the
case presented.
The city of Augusta petitioned the
commission to apportion the expense
Of repairing the hennebec bridge the
city and street railway each to bear
its proportionate share 1t developed
that the law provides the commission
may determine that repairs upon a
bridge are necessars~ and may then
divide the expense of making the re-
pairs between the parties responsible,
but that no provision existed in the
law for the fixing Of the burden Of eX-
rense following The completion of
work not done under the advice of the
commission. The city flied exceptions
which are now overruled.
This rescript settles the dispute
which has frequently been warmly set
forth. as TO whether the Public Utili-
ties Commission should have been
brought into the case before the re-
pairs we're made or after wards. The
rcscript makes it clear that if the
Public Utilities Commission was to
act as an arbiter in the case it should
. have been called in at the very be-
ginning of the plan to repair the
bridge TIE only hope of a satisfac
tory settlements Of the case now left
the city lies il law suit, which. it is
generally stated is not the course to
be desired but the only one remaining
which may admit of an equitable set
tlcment of the $4,000 expense borne by
the city without any aid as yet from
the railway company.
The Rescript
The rescript reads as follows:
City Of Augusta Petr VS.. The Lewis
ton. Augusta & WaterNiue Street
Railway. Rescript. Savage, c. j.
l. Questions of law arising upon
rulings Of the Public Utilities Com
mission may be presented to the law
court on exceptions allowed by the
chairman of the commission.
?. The jurisdiction of the Public
Utilities Commission is created by
statute, and it has only such Juris-
dicton as the statute confers. Its jul
risdiction cannot be enlarged by con-
sent of parties. nor can want Of jul
risdiction be waived by party.
3. The Public Utilities Commission
has no jurisdiction to apportion the
expenses of repairs to highway
bridge which have already been made,
in accordance with an agreement be-
tween the municipality and street
railroad company whose road crosses
the bridge.
Exceptions overruled.

brought to the Journal office late Tues

recently. 1t had been busy. however.
and from its split side projects a good
sized now potato and a smaller one,
just peeping out. 1t is an oddly. new
potatoes growing without having been

AUGUSTA CARPEN-
TIERS BRING HOME
PRIZE, PORTLAND

The Augusta Carpenters Union. which
attended the Labor day celebration at
Portland, after close competition
| brought home the handsome silver cup
as a prize for the fine appearance made
in the parade. The Argus has the fol-
lowing to say of the award:
Mayor 1ngraham, Roscoe A. Eddy.
State labor commissioner, and Charles
NJ. Kimball, were judges to decide the
winner of a large silver cup to be award
ed to the organization making the best
appearance as to uniform, numbers and
! marching.
OF course there were the customary
! red shirts with uniform caps for the
firemen's organizations that added much
to the attractiveness of the parade; but
the other organizations presented neat
and attractive appearance and their
. marching would have been creditable TO
regular military organizations. The Au-
gusta BARRIERS, with their white coats,
straw hats and white parasols won much
favorable comment.
The opinion of the judges finally mar
rowed down to the Italian rod Carrie $
of this city and the Carpenters Cnioa
of Augusta.
The Italians, headed by handsome silk
flags, Old Glory and the Italian coiors,
were uniformed in While hats with red
bands. Palm Beach shirts, white duck
trousers. blue neckties and white belts.
The Augusta Carpenters exceeded the
Italians in numbers and were attractive
~ uniformed in white hats. white shirts.
dark trousers and white belts. Their
marching was also highly creditahle.
The judges found it difficult to make
a definite decision as TO which organiZa-
ton should be awarded the winner 5
prize, but the problem was finally solved
by Mayor Ineraham, who at his own eX-
! pense added another prize cup. 1t was
then decided that the Italians be award
ed the original prize cup and the Au-
gusta Carpenters be awarded the cup do
mated by Mayor Ingraham.

Selling of our securities here by
London to provide funds for payment
OF the new British loan was much

ceived with calmness the evasive note
from Germany and made no move tow
ard realizing on its stocks and bonds.
Evidence Of broadening advance in
industry. most conspicuous in steel
making. strengthened the underlying
confidence of our investors. Such in
huences tended toward high prices on
the Stock Exchange and caused some
slight embarrassment to those specu-
lators who had been selling short in
expectation of a general decline.
Bond prices. as pressure of British
selling Of our railroad obligations
slackened, made some progress toward
recovery. Through the week sales of
bonds for delayed delive cry on the Stock
Exchange were about half those Of the
week before. and of these a much
larger proportion was in industrial is
sues. In dealings outside it was recog-
nized that the supply from abroad was
much less now that applications for
the new British government issue had
been put in. Tomorrow another in

Official figures just issued show that
French exports fell of 81 per cent in
