for the grand. jury. are committed to
Penobscot county Jail. and from there
taken to Portland for trial.
That we believe that the transporta-
ton Of accused parties and government
witnesses from Bangor to Portland
during the last 80 years. has cost the
government as much, if not more, than
the salary Of the officials provided fo-
in this bill, and that the additional
expense has been so burdensome that
the accused have been deprived Of wit
nesses and have been unable to have
their own lawyers in Portland.
We submit that Aroostook county,
Piscataquis county, Washington coun-
ty, Penobscot county. Hancock coun-
ty and Waldo county contain 1925
square miles, more than one-half of
the State of Maine, and those six coun-
ties have a population of $4,000, and
if any Of the people have business be-
fore the United States District court,
they have to travel and transport their
witness and lawyers 40 miles west
erly from Bangor.
We earnestly urge the passage of
this bill as a reasonable measure to ac-
commodate more than one-half of the
territory of the State Of Maine, and
that section Of the State is increasing
in population more rapidly than the
other ten counties in the State of
Maine. =.

WARNING TO PUBLIC.
KEEP STREETS CLEAR.
the national JOY smoke

Hickman has put into commits
sion large motor fire truck, and
many people are apt to overlook
the necessity of clearing the
streets when they hear the ma
chine coming. 1t is obvious that a
fire engine must go at high rate
OF speed; and a large, bulky ma
chine cannot make a quick stop
to avoid accidents; nor should it
be forced TO do SO.
All persons within the cOrpo
rate limits are therefore warn
ed when they hear the bell,
siren horn or wild eat whistle, -
to Immediately drive to one side
of the street and remain there "a
few minutes, unless you know
the engine VIII not pass that way
AS further precautiOn, 1t Is al
50 urged that teams be not left
standing unhitched nor ears or
vehicles left in such a position as
10 partially or wholly obstruet
the streets; the fire alarm might
be turned in at any moment
Keep children out of the street
teach them 10 go 10 the side
walk when they hear the fire
alarm.
Observe these rules and help
me 10 avoid accidents
