Jackman-Rockwood
Road Progressing Well

Charles Murray Of the firm Of Murray
Bros, contractors, Bangor, says the
News, has returned from q trip to Jack
man. where his concern has an extern
sive contract in clearing the right Of way
for the state highway from Jackman to
lockwood, at Moosehead lake. distance
of 80 miles.
The contractors have made such head
ways as to surprise the State officials
and others who have visited the scene.
Beginning before the snow had left the
ground a large crew was put at work
telling the trees and destroying the
stumps.
Mr. Murray secured q stump puller
from Iowa which is the most powerful
piece of machinery ever seen In Maine
in use for similar purpose. 1t will re-
move the largest stumps from the
ground by sheer force in a manner which
is considered most remarkable. The right
Of way is IS feet wide. but the roadway
which will be constructed will be about
"a feet wide.
The crews have been at work so indus
triously that they have cut already over
100000 of hardwood logs. The stumps are
blown to pieces as fast as possible with
dynamite. terrific charges being insert
ed in order that the stumps may be rent
asunder as effectively as possible. Owing
to the dangers arising from fires. the
stumps are. not burned, and the problem
of their removal is one requiring much
skill and a great deal Of planning.
A sufficient sum Of money to complete
the new State highway is not available.
consequently at meeting to be held May

Trust Company Loans

An opinion has been rendered by Attor-
ney General VIM. r. Pattangall to the
effect that a trust company may loan to
any person, firm or corporation at any
time an amount equal to 10 per cent. Of
the total capital, unimpaired surplus. and
net undivided profits of the trust COM
pany, and may increase such loan to Is
per cent. Of such capital. surplus and
profits on approval of a majority Of its
entire investment board. which approval
must be shown by the records Of the
company, without collateral.
Bank Commissioners Question
The decision was rendered at the re-
quest of Hon. Irving E. Vernon of Port
land, the State bank commissioner, who
asked the following question:
will you kindly refer to Section is of
Chapter SO Of the Public Laws of 1901,
and advise me your construction Of that
section with reference to the total amount
which trust company can loan to any
person, individual. firm or corporation
without collateral'
Attorney Generals Reply
Attorney General Pattangall's reply is
as follows:
Replying to your letter relative to the
construction of Section 16 of Chapter 96
Of the Public Laws Of 1907 with refer
ence to the total amount which trust
company can loan to any person, individ-
ual, firm or corporation without collat-
eral.
I'm accordance with this section Of the
law trust company may loan to any
person, firm, or corporation 1T any time
an amount equal to 10 per cent of The
total capital, unimpaired surplus. and net
undivided profits OF the trust company,
and may increase such loan to % per
| cent. of such capital. surplus and profits
on approval of a majority of its entire in
vestment board, which approval must be
shown by the records of the company.
This is so far as loans can be made with
out collateral
IT do not find any limit Of loans ac-
crued by collateral. So far as this sec
ton of the law goes. there is nothing to
prevent trust company from loaning its
! entire capital. surplus and profits to one
person, provided Is per cent. Of the
amount is secured by collateral which
satisfies a majority of the investment
board
THE section also provides that dis
count Of commercial or business paper
actually owned by the person negotiating
the loan shall not be considered as money
| borrowed. am satisfied, after thoroughly
studying the proposition. that the phrase
| Commercial or business paper actually
owned by the person negotiating the
same" includes practically everything in
the way of promissory notes excepting
accommodation paper.
MY first impression was that the stat
ute was not quite as broad as I now
conceive it to be. But in forming that i'm
preston l had in mind the adjective
| commercial and had overlooked the eff
| feet Of the additional word business
