State Prison Matters

FL do not think that the indetermin-
ate sentence law effected the question
OF good behavior as applied to the
term of sentence beyond the parole
period" says Hon. William r. Pattan-
gall Of Augusta, the attorney general,
in an opinion rendered Monday at the
request Of Elmer H. Warehouse, war
den Of the Maine States prison at
Thomaston. Warden Waterhouse ask
ed the attorney generals office for a
ruling in the two following cases:
A convict is sentenced by the court
to serve not less than one year and
not more than two years. with two
preaching the term Of two years.
Should this convict be allowed under
the Indeterminate Sentence Law any
time off for good behavior? Under
the old law man who is sent here
for 10 years for example, or any speci-
fed length of time Uhis before the
parole law was passed. was allowed
seven days in each month Of that time,
provided his behavior had been good,
so that on 10-years sentence he would
really receive $40 days off. There
seems to be some question amongst
some Of the officers here about this
matter many of them reasoning that
under the indeterminate sentence law
the convict should not be allowed any
time off whatever for good behavior
Another question which 1 am led
to believe you have already answered
in years gone by but Of which 1 am
unable to find any record is this:
Supposing a convict is sentenced by
a court on May 81 Of a certain year
but he does not arrive at this prison
until week or more later when does
the convict's sentence begin?
Attorney Generals Reply
The reply Of Attorney General Pat
tangall is as follows:
Replying to yours of recent date
In the case you mention 1 should say
that the convict was entitled to time
of for good behavior. 1 do not think
that the indeterminate sentence law
affected the question Of good behavior
as applied to the term Of sentence be-
yond the parole period.
Answering your second question, I
should say that the convict's term Of
imprisonment began when the convict
was turned over to an officer with in
structions to conffne him in the States
prison even though he did not arrive
at the States prison for some days
thereafter. In other words, should

Will Settle
Dock Question
COUNTY WILL REBUILD BRIDGES
Commissioners Offer to Take Care Of Portion Out
side of City If Remainder Is Kept Open

1t now appears as though the
question of the foot thorough
fare and sidewalk from First
street along the water front
across the river is in a fair way
to be settled and the school chill
dren and employees of the Milwau-
kee Lumber company will have
safe convenient way to get into
the city.
Monday the city engineer was
busy surveying to find the mean
der line of the river to ascertain
if the walk is in the city limits.
If it is so found it is probable
resolution will be passed declar-
ing the walk to be a public thor
oughfare, because of its long use
as such, and ordering the prop
erty owners adjacent to repair it.
This will take care of the mat
ter as far as the city limits. In
the event that this is done or that
the city asserts its jurisdiction in
any other manner, the county
commissioner have agreed to
take care of the other end of
the walk. They have stated that,
providing the city will take juris-
diction Of that part in the city so
there will be no question as to it
being kept open, and the question
of right Of way to the other por-
tion is settled, the county will re-
build the bridge across the st.
Maries river and put the walk in
safe condition.
Fred Herrick, president of the
Milwaukee Lumber company, has
agreed to procure and furnish the
county with a deed for the right
of way to the county's part of the
thoroughfare. This puts the
matter up to the city to see that
its portion of the walk is put in
safe and proper condition.
The prospect that the question
is in a fair way to be settled will
be received with satisfaction by
everyone. The walk is one Of
the most important in the city
as it is the way by which the en-
ployes of the Milwaukee mill and
the residents of Riverdale reach
the city.

the ensuing year are quite light,
averaging only about mills.
Only in a few districts does the
levy reach the limit of 10 mills
and in four districts no special
levies were made.
This result is due in a great
measure to the business methods
in practice in the county super
intendents office. Prior to the
annual school meeting abstracts
we're sent to the different dis
tricts showing the amount Of
expenditures in the district for
the preceding year, how the mon

PLAN TO IMPROVE
MAIN STREET

Over one hundred dollars has
been raised by private subscrip-
tiOn for the purpose of making
repairs on Main street between
Hailey's hardware store and the
brickyaPd.
This has always been one OF
the worst pieces Of street in the
city. The soil is clay, with
practically no drainage and as it
is travelled very extensively. it
is almost impossible after every
rain-storm and is full of holes
and ruts at all times. Several
attempts have been made to in
clude this section of Main street
in different improvement dis
tricts so it could be permanently
improved but all attempts have
miscarried and now those who
use the road frequently have de-
cided to see what can be done by
private subscription.
It is planned to round up the
roadway and cover it to a width
of ten OF twelve feet with crushed
rock, the same as has been used
on other improved streets. The
work is to be done under the su-
pervision of the street commits
sioner and the money raised will
be used to pay for hauling the
rock.
The subscription paper has
been left at Haileys hardware
store and automobile owners and
others using the road are asked
to step in there and make con-
tributions. It is the intention
to start the work Monday and all
who have subscribed are asked
TO call at the store and pay their
subscriptions at once.
