CLEARING HOUSE
BREAKS RECORDS
Report of Manager Roscoe
Adams Shows Best
Month in History.

In a report OF the work OF the
Tulsa Clearing House association for
the past month. Manager Roscoe
Adams of the association shows that
during the period just brought to a
close, the clearings have reached the
high record OF Tulsa's history with
a clearing of f1G,411. 1924 or an in
crease of s9,311,942 over the corre-
spending period OF 1915.
The record established for the
month of July, 1916, establishes an
increase OF 1908 per cent over the
month of July one year ago. when
the ciearings were but $7.109.3S2,
which at that time was a record for
the clearings of the Tulsa banks
Mr. Adams is confident that the
wonderful record made in gains dur
ing the past month over 1915 will
be exceeded by the record of the
present month. The bank clearings
OF August, 1915, were nothing to
compare with the clearings of the
month just ended, and IL is probable
that the clearings for August will
even exceed those of July.
The busiest day OF the month Of
July, 1916, was on the twelfth, dur
ing which there was cleared through
the clearing house $s94.444 and
the record week was that Of July
27, when a mark of f4,ols.eS2 was
hung up by the Tulsa clearing house
During the month just brought TO
a close, the average weekly clearings
were $4.1o2.S3l and tho average
daily ciearings were S6s3,so5.67.

Thursday after his primary papers, an.
nouncng that he should be candidate
for representative to the Legislature
from the class towns Of Alma Boothbay,
Edgecomb, Newcastle, Southport and
Westport. John A. Erskine of Alma was
the last representative from that class
and under the old method of represen-

understood that Elton Lewis Of Booth

1t is rumored that Fred c. Knight of

selectmen Of the town Of Eden, accom-
panied by G. E. Madden. one Of the
towns road commissioners, who came
to talk over the patrol maintenance
work and also brought with them plan
of q section Of proposed State aid high
way for 1916.
Mark c. Deveraux, chairman OF the
selectmen of Penobscot. Hancock coun-
ty, was interested in the patrol main
tenance and also reported on the good
work accomplished under the expen-
diture Of the $4,000 raised by special re-
solve of the last legislature which
resulted in digging out bothersome
lodges and changing a swampy road
into a passable highway.
Chairman Of the Selectmen w. g.
Love Of Southport conferred on the
patrol maintenance and talked over
the proposed bridge between Boothbay
Harbor and Southport. 1t will be re-
membered that the Legislature appro-
priated $500. with the understanding
that the town Of Southport raise the
sum of $4,000, which has been done
and the total. or $17,50O. is safelD re-
posing in the State treasury. The plans

outlay of about $4,000, and consequent
ly the Highway Commission is now
awaiting the further action of the
town at the forthcoming town meeting.
The proposition Of this Boothbay-
Southport bridge is a good-sized one,
there being a great depth Of water and
swift current. The plan Of solid con-
crete piers was advanced, but quick
ly abandoned, because the commission
ers and Chief Engineer Paul D. Sar-
gent were thoroughly convinced from
the experiences Of other and similar
situations that concrete would not
stand the test. The point is that con-
crete. being porus. had proved a fail
ure when used in a tideway in freez-
ing temperature climate.
The commissions idea for the Booth
bay Harbor- Southport bridge would be
piling, surmounted with steel cylinders
filled with concrete and stone masonry
built upon that. The action Of the town
in regard to the form Of construction
and the financing of the proposition
will be watched with interest.
