tom in Michigan for the consumer to
pay the cost Of piping in sparsely set
tied districts in addition to the regular
rental.
planned to set aside per cent. OF its
income each year. For what?" asked
Chairman Cleaves, and Mr.. Macomber
explained that all but $4,000 had been
expended in buying bonds Of the dis
trict. In the u years that the district
had been operating 1t should have had
a sinking fund Of $4,000 but $4,000 was
not set aside last year so that the fund
now amounted to only $4,000. Only
once in its history had the district re-
duced its rate and that was from So
to 81 per faucet per year. Every dollar
that the district had earned had been
put into extra work. The district was
about to put in two miles Of pipe to
open up the Riverside Drive section.
That the Public Utilities Commission
should establish a rule which should
apply to districts all over the State,
that 10 per cent. of the cost Of con-
struction should be charged when pip
ing was put in outlying districts or
that some other rule which should give
adequate compensation should be
adopted. He explained that according
to these figures Cheney would pay
about $46 in addition to the regular
rates. Mr.. Macomber said that the dis
trict was now trying to get money
enough ahead to put the whole system
on a meter basis, which would be
source Of benefit for every one. The
meter system had been installed sew
erai years ago on Water and Cony
streets and there had been a two
thirds saving in consumption on these
two streets by meters. If funds are go
ing out into construction in all of the
sparsely settled districts improvements
will have to be omitted or the water
tax rate increased. He pointed out
that it would only take three additional
houses on Gilman street to bring the
rate to the regular figure. He thought
that the operating cost at present
would be about per cent. Of the total
cost The $4,000 shortage last year was
due to extra piping service for the ben
eft Of the existing system.
The trustees of the Gardiner Water
District were present at the hearing
as we'll as a number of Augusta citi-
Zens, and it was stated by one of them
that the Gardiner District expected
soon to meet similar problems.

An interesting hearing was held
Wednesday forenoon before the Public
Utilities Commission upon the petition
Of Frank S. Cheney, asking that the
water main be extended up Gilman
street by the Augusta Water District.
The petitioner set forth that there
were three houses on that street now
and that ultimately there would be
seven and that service should be grant
ed them.
The Augusta Water Districts conten-
ton was that 1t could not make the ex-
tention without being obliged to charge
10 per cent. on the cost Of construction
because the locality was sparsely set
tied, and that the extension would cost
between $500 and 5000, also that while
a 10 per cent. charge would be some
what abnormal for the time being it
would be reduced as new houses were
built, and that ultimately all Of the
residents would be charged only the
regular rate Of the Water District.
Mr.. Cheney told the commission that
he owned 16 acres of land and would
put up one more house next year. He
said that he owned IL acres of the best
fiat house lots in that section. At pres
ent he is obliged to get his water from
we'll which is but so feet away from
the sewer. He said that William Hanks
would put up some houses there next
year. Two years ago in the dry season
he was without water for two months.
Clarence Hallett of the same street
said that he owned a History house
and would become a customer if the
water was put in. Mr.. Cheney said
that he would be satisfied with 2
inch pipe if he could get water
Hon. George E. Macomber. president
Of the Board of Trustees of the Angus
ia Water District, said that a pinch
pipe could be put in at a cost Of $500,
but that it would be much better, if,
as was claimed, the number Of Gus
toners would increase, to put in a g.
inch pipe, which would cost over $500.
Mr.. Macomber said that Mr.. Hanks, to
whom Mr.. Cheney had referred, had
paid for putting in the pipe in a num-
said that he had paid for the piping
himself to accommodate a farm which
he owned and a neighbcr had done the
same, as they did not feel that it would
be right TO impose an extra burden up
on the rest of the water takers in the
district.

Central Railroad, desiring to cooper
ate in every way with this enterprise,
designed to boom and develop Maine,
has, in addition to providing a big ex-
hibit at the show, granted special
rates to Portland during the time Of
the Exposition. So comprehensive are
the arrangements made by the roads
that there is no part Of Maine that will
not be included in the reduced fare tar
iff.
Long limit tickets, including admis-
sion to the Exposition, will be on sale
at all Maine Central stations during
the entire two weeks. In addition to
that, there will be short limit tickets,
including admission, on sale at the
stations Of the road and these. with
specially low rates, will be good for
return the following day.
On Mondays, June and June -,

termediate stations to Deering juno
ton, inclusive will be accommodated
On Wednesdays, June and IA, 1916,

Many new features Of the Exposition
not hitherto mentioned have just been
announced by the management. Among
these may be mentioned two wonderful
addresses in which the roads of Eu-

The domestic troubles of William H.
Brown and his wife, Maude Brown Of
Manchester, furnished material
Wednesday morning for hearing be-
fore the municipal court and fixed in
the minds of those who had assembled
in the court room to hear what was
going on the impression that the mat
rinonial sea over which William and
Maude are sailing is disturbed by at
least an occasional ripple. Maude was
the complainant and the charge
and battery. William was represented
by Former Judge Benedict F. Maher
and entered a plea of not guilty.
In her story to the court Maude said
that the assault took place at about 6
o'clock Monday morning and claimed
that her husband struck her on her
side and knocked her on the table, fur
Their explaining to the court that that
particular side had been lame for sew
eral years. She further said relative
to the assault that William began to
Jaw" the first thing in the morning
because she didn't mend his pants, and
that as a matter Of fact the pants were
beyond repair; that she threw a spoon
full of warm water on him and then he
struck her.
Williams testimony differed some
what from that of his better half, mas
much as he claimed that the pants
could have been mended but that she
refused to do it; that when she threw
the scalding water on him he threw up
his hand as a protection and that it
struck her; that after doing so he told
her how sorry he was; that during the
forenoon his wife packed up her dishes
and other goods and that her mother.
who lives not far away from the
Brown home, came down and got them
and took them away.
The court found no difficulty in de-
claring William guilty in view of the
evidence which had been given in and
disposed of the case by suspending
sentence.
