LIVELY HEARING
over TRUNK Line
FROM PORTLAND
Hiram w. Kicker Quotes Sub
stantial Figures of Benefit to
State By Tourists-Lewiston
Interested

Portland, Me-, Aug. 24-Over 100000
tourists leave annually in Maine over
s25, 100000. according to a statement
made yesterday afternoon at the FED
eral Aid Highway hearing at Lewiston
by Hiram w. Kicker of Poland Spring.
Mr.. Kicker said his figures were based
on careful estimates and that not one
dollars worth of our natural resources
was taken away by this great army
which annually invades the state. 1t
was a traffic which contained nothing
! but profit for Maine and it was one OF
! the most valuable sources of revenue
which the State possesses. In addl-
! ton Mr.. Kicker offered to give the
State Highway Commission $4,000 If
| it would build a permanent road be-
tween Portland and Lewiston and
! $4,000 if it should construct such a
/ highway between Portland and Gray.
( The stipulations of the offer were that
the road be built via Portland, Gray,
Upper Gloucester, Danville Junction,
Auburn and Lewiston and that 1t be
completed by July /, 1913.
| The hearing was a decidedly lively
one and was featured by heated argu-
ments between Congressman Nc
Gillicuddy, of the Second District, Mr..
| Kicker, Chairman Philip j. Deering,
of the highway commission, and for
mer State Auditor T. F. Callahan. A
| large delegation attended from Port
land, headed by Mayor Chapman and
President George L. Crossman of the
Chamber of Commerce.
| The hearing opened at 8 in the
Municipal Court room in the City hall
and was attended by large delega-
ton. 1t was primarily called. for the
purpose Of listening to an appeal for
the expenditure of the Federal Aid
money to be obtained by the State
through the Bankhead-S hackleford
bill, on the road between Lewiston and
Brunswick, via Lisbon Falls. Port
land and Poland Spring were repre-
scented at the hearing. not with the idea
of opposing the ultimate construction
Of the Lewiston Brunswick road, but
to urge the immediate need of build
ing between Portland and Lewiston,
via Gray. The point they presented at
the hearing was that there was far
greater necessary for the construction
/ Of the direct Portland Lewiston high
way than the one between Lewiston
and Brunswick and that the State as
a whole would benefit far more by the
building Of the direct route than it
would by the secondary line running
across country.
