day afternoon that Notwithstanding
! the present scare in Maine in regard
to infantile paralysis there had been
"a total Of but IA cases in the State this
year thus far, as compared with IL

have occurred in only 10 places and In
eight Of these places there have been
only one case in each. In Rockland
there have been no additional cases

eral In northern Maine. are as follows:
Two in Presque Isle, one each IN
Chapman and Mapleton and one in
Boothbay Harbor.
Considerable anxiety is being mani
tested by summer visitors to Maine
who have children of school age as to
how they are going back to their
homes and pass the necessary regula-
tions for getting their children again
in school and DR.. Young is receiving
inquiries daily, both by letter and in

$25O,OOO,OOO On Roads

According to a press dispatch
from Washington congress, the
state governments, counties and
townships will spend $250,000,-
600 a year for the next five years
on the improvement and main
tenance of the roads of the coun-
try.
That statement in itself is of
absorbing interest to every citi-
zen of these United States.
But a question of still more vi
tai interest to US locally and per-
sonally is, "How much do we
get. ?"
The people of our community
of course can decide what we
ourselves are to expend in good
roads, but when it comes to the
expenditure by the federal and
state governments we are much
of the opinion that the early bird
will get the biggest worm. +.
In other and palmer words,
the federal government allots a
certain amount of money to each
state for improving its roads.
Then comes the question of
where and how that money is to
