CHANGE IN SACO HIGH
WAY CONTRACT MADE

Since receiving bids for the section Of
State highway in the city of Saco,
which will be built this year. the COM
mission has decided that the chances
of finishing that section of State high
way prior to July / will be much more
certain if this section of road is divided
into two contracts; consequently, the
commission has arranged to split this
section of road into two parts and
have awarded contract to Foreione-
Romano of Portland. to whom the con-
tract for the adjoining section in Scar
boro was awarded in Feb. 20, for ] 4
miles of the Saco contract at u contract
price of s12.711.l2. The balance of the
Saco job amounting to 2.44 miles has
been awarded to David j. Sheehan of
Lynn. Mass, at the contract price of
s36.S74.s6.
This action by the commission will
insure four concreting crews on this
work, which amounts in total to AS
miles and with any reasonable weather
the work should be we'll out of the
way by the time summer traffic begins

his training.
This contribution Of the Curtiss
Fund will add 4S trained militia Of
ficers to our aerial forces as we'll as
enable the militia of most Of the states
to take the first step towards organi-
zing an aviation section.
conditions being as critical, as
President Wilson states them, this
country needs Immediately 5000
trained aviators. Had this country a
reserve Of 5000 trained aviators, it
would be in the happy position of the
porcupine. which spends it's days in
peaceful pursuits, harming no one, but
is ever ready to defend itself"
THE substantial support given to
the National Aeroplane Fund has
shown that the public is in favor Of
developing aviation in the militia, and
the general feeling is that the gov
eminent should provide the proper
aeronautical equipment in the militia
"a feeling which is shared by the
Aero Club Of America.
But it is being realized that if the
army has only about 10 aeroplanes in
commission at the end Of seven years,
when it should have 1000; and the
navy has only about 10 aeroplanes in
commission at the end Of five years,
when it should have 1000: at this rate
it would take the best part of 1000
years to supply the aeronautical needs
of the Army and Navy. The army,
navy and militia need $25.000,00O for
|aeronautics. Less than that will leave
this country behind the third and
fourth class powers. who now have
many times more aeroplanes than this
country has.
1T is generally appreciated that so
long as the Army and Navy are so
short of men, the militia forms the
backbone Of our defences. There is
also being appreciated the fact that the
efficiency of the militia can only ex-
tend as far as the means provided for
equipment and training will reach"

The State House on Thursday had
returned to its usual apparent quiet
ness OF routine duty, after the stir
and hustle occasioned by the meeting
OF the Governor and Council on Tues
day evening and all day Wednesday.
The main topic Of conversation was the
rumor and gossip concerning the call
ing OF an extra session Of the Legisla
ture, to which the Governor during the
Council meeting had several times re-
ferred as possibility but had refrain
ed from committing himself.
Several matters Of State importance
are about ready Tor the attention Of
the lawmakers. 1t was urged before
the Council Wednesday when the mat
ter of awarding the contract for the
binding Of the Revised Statutes was
being considered that the contracts
should be closed that day in order to
shut off any further possible delay. The
revision of the Revised Statutes has
not yet been adopted by the Legisla
ture and that matter would be one of
the important ones for the considera-
ton of an extra session.
The law enacted last year giving a
pension to the blind, under certain con-
ditions. seems to need attention. The
law as passed provides for a pension
of 5000 annually for needy blind peo-
pie, the sum Of $4,000 being appropri-
ated for the purpose for years. The
Governor and Council already have 631
claims filed with them. which are being
investigated and sorted out to bring the
most needy first to receive attention.
and this great number if all placed up
on the pension list would call for the
expenditure of $126,200 per year. an
amount that would swamp the $4,000
appropriated in short order.
The law is also said to be afflicted
with certain weaknesses which those
who are acquainted with the situation
say should at once be remedied. max
ing another reason for an extra session.
With other matters limited at which
would be called up should the Legisla-
ture be in session, it will not be sur
prising news at almost any time to
read of the official announcement of
an extra session.
