OPEN THE PORTLAND
AND BRUNSWICK ROAD
DURING COMING WEEK

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE Fed
eral aid highway between Portland
and Brunswick probably will be open
ed to travel the latter part of next
week, when the connecting line be-
tween the Brunswick and the Free
port sections will be completed. This
does not mean that the entire road
will be finished. but only the bitumin-
Gus macadam. This, however, is all
that is necessary so far as travel is
concerned. as all that will remain to
be done after this work is finished
will be the cutters. the putting up of
ratings at dangerous points and the
clearing away Of the debris and equip
ment along the highway. 1t is ex-
pected that the opening date will be
about next Thursday. providing the
weather is good. 1t will take about a
month longer to entirely complete the
contract.
II present plans are carried out, and
they undoubtedly will be, the present
detour around the work between Free
port. and Brunswick will be used for
the last time tomorrow. Beginning
Sunday, all traffic will be allowed
over the regular post road between
Freeport and Brunswick. There will
be only few feet Of crushed rock. and
a very short stretch Of dirt road. All
the rest Of the highway will be the
new nacadam.

in the scope Of the credit, it was as
serted. there is not a so-called pro-Ger-
man manking house in New York City
that would subscribe penny.
Other details of the proposed loan upon
which the two negotiating parties are
said to have acquiesced are as follows:
The term-The loan is to run for
five years, or ten years, or serially
from five to ten years as may be
deemed eXpedient after the adjust
ment Of other details.
The form-The loan is to be grant
ed upon straight British and French
government bonds, payable in dollars.
These bonds are, in effect, to be a
first mortgage on Great Britain and
France and consequently are to take
priority over all other outstanding
bond issues.
The collateral-There is to be none.
AS yet there has been no agreement
as to the amount. but this, there is a
general belief, can be speedily ADJUST
ed after a final decision is reached as
in the scope of the loans operation.
Financiers said tonight that they had
talked of staggering sums-all the
way from half billion to a billion and
half dollars-and that while the first
tentative proposal had been to lend
the commission half a billion dollars.
there was reason to believe that this
sum might be exceeded.
In the opinion of some bankers, the
time is imminent when a decision must
be reached on the munitions matter.
Apparently, the men who should
know think the situation is encourage
ing. The barometer of their senti-
ments was found today in the
strengthening tone of the foreign ex-
change market, where all foreign mon
ey values made substantial gains.
