GASOLINE PROBE
IS FAR-REACHING
Vast Mass of Data on Rise in
Price Collected; Report
Soon to Congress

Washington, d. c., April 3.-Gov-
ernment agencies investigating the
spectacular rise in the price of saso-
line have virtually concluded prelimi-
nary phases of their work and will re-
port to Congress this week. In the
meantime the Department of Justice,
which has kept in close touch with
the situation, will consider the evil
dence with a view 10 determining
whether prosecutions are warranted
under the antitrust law.
Every available field agent of the
Federal Trade Commission has been
assigned to the gasoline inquiry, under
the direction of Commissioner w. j.
Harris. Reports by the various COM
panies involved have been checked, so
far as possible. Crude oil producers,
manufacturing companies, pipe lines,
selling agencies, even tank wagons, in
every section of the country has been
under surveillance. A tremendous
mass of data has resulted, bearing on
all phases of the industry.
The first report to Congress in re-
SponSe to Senate resolutions will con-
tain comparative figures showing the
amount of gasoline and crude oil pro-
duced at present and two or three
years ago, the volume exported, rela-
tive costs of production, amounts sold
in each section of the country then
and now and comparative wholesale
and retail prices. No comment will
be made on the reasons for the rise.
a second report, data for which is
not yet complete, will supplement the
first with an analysis of the situation
and will set forth reasons to which the
commission attributes the tremendous
increase.
Still another report. dealing will
any facts the investigation may dis
close relating to unjust discrimination
by manufacturing and producing COM
panies, is contemplated later.
-Four Salient Points
The investigation has been con-
Quoted with view to determining four
salient points. as follows:
l. The extent of production and use
of gasoline now and two and three
years ago.
/ 2. The volume of gasoline exported
and the supply remaining here for

1916 WAS CHILLY
Only Twice Before in Fourteen
Years Was Record
Equaled

1912 INCHES OF SNOW

March. 1916, will go down in weather
history as the coolest month of the
lion n-and-the-lamb in ten years, ac-
cording to the monthly meteorological
summary just issued by the Weather
Bureau of the Federal Department of
Agriculture. On only two other months
in the departmental records has this
occurred.
The mercury never got higher than
6S degrees and that point was only
reached on the last day; the farthest
drop was TO degrees and March IS
the date. In 1896 the 33-degree mark
was reached and the other occasion
was in 1892.
But there was more evidence of the
ugliness of March weather; just 10 IL
inches of snow fell during the month,
and the rainfall precipitation totaled
Ala inches. Furthermore, it was
mighty windy, and the prevailing
winds. by the way, were northwesterly,
with an average velocity of nine miles.
For five minutes on March 2S the
wind blew hardest. 1t reached Il
velocity of twenty-seven miles an hour
and it was from the east at that
Throughout the month there We're
but nine really clear days; nine were
partly cloudy, on thirteen days the
heavens were laden with clouds, while
on the other thirteen there was u

snow. While the month wasn't re-
markable for fogs, auroras, hail nor
thunder storms. there was plenty of
sleet. On four different occasions
there was some of that

Presque Isle Water Case

Word comes. from Presque Isle that
the recent order of the Public Utilities
Commission to the Presque Isle Water
Co. to take immediate steps to furnish
better water supply to its customers
is being looked after by the officials
of the company. A public meeting
was held last Tuesday evening at which
Director Charles N. Taylor Of the COM
pany conferred with citizens regarding
the situation and the relations between
the company and the people. Squa
pond, about IL miles distant, was fav-
ored by some as a source of supply.
but the distance and expense seemed
to make that source prohibitive. An
other plan which received much sup
port was to remove the dam from Ken
nedy brook and have the basin thor
oughly cleared.
The Water Co., is showing every will
ingness to comply with the wishes 0f
the people and the order Of the Pub

the members of the order. Among the
cities which will be represented in the
league are Bangor, Brewer, Belfast,
Old Town. Lewiston, Augusta and
Portland.
The Belfast library has recently re-
ceived a small statue Of Budda, the
Hindoo god, which was taken from
Bombay years ago, and which has
since been in the Bird family, former
ly Of this city. and was presented to
the library by them. The statue is
about IL or 10 inches high. and is made
Of alabaster. 1t is in perfect condition
except for the fact that the head is
broken from the body, but 1t is such a
clean break that it can easily be
mended. 1t Is to be placed on a special
shelf in the main reading room. The
story of it is said to be this: Years
ago the grandfather Of Miss Bertha L.
Bird was in Bombay with his vessel.
OF which he was captain. At the same
time another ship was there. with a
rather daredevil captain. The latter
made bet with his companions that
he could get into one of the places Of
worship and steal one Of the gods. He
succeeded in doing this, but had rea-
son to believe that the Hindoos knew
Of his act, and fearing that they would
DO something desperate to his ship if
1t were found on board. he took It to
Miss Birds grandfather, who was ready
to sail that night. The two men never
met again and Miss Birds grandfather
brought the statue home, and it has
remained in their family ever since.
Secretary Dickey Of the Belfast
Board Of Trade has received a cor.
munication from the Pendleton Rros
OF New York, saying that they were
not to build a vessel this year in the
Belfast yards. This leaves the Belfast
yards open to lease and it is expected
That through the Board of Trade q
lease will be arranged with other mar
ties in order that some ship-buildinr
can be done here this season. secre-
tary Dickey is in correspondence with
several parties in regard to the mat
ter.
