kttey Being the Speaker-Newsy Notes and Personals
Bowling Results

Thursday evening was observed by
the Bombahooll club as Club night, be-
ing the first of a series of affairs of that
nature to be held during the winter.
The speaker of tile evening was Rep
resentatiye Aaron Cole of KitterY,
member of the State Legislature. His
remarks were of most interesting
character. Mr.. cole being a speaker of
pleasing address and he held the at
tention of hearers throughout his talk
He discussed state taxes in general
way. mentioning the States various
sources of revenue and suggesting pos
sible new sources. He also suggested
various economies which might be prac-
ticed. He spoke of the various State
institutions which We're being maintain
ed at an enormous cost to the State Of
Maine. He Interestingly mentioned vast
water powers of the state which We're
going to waste because Of out Of State
ownership to all available sites, and
stated that some means Of taxing the
owners for the use Of water should be
found. He spoke of the State law pro-
viding that no electric power can be
transmitted outside the State that is de-
rived from water power. In speaking
of the octopus bill. so-Called, which was
brought up 10 years ago and several
times since. which would permit of out
of-State interests establishing big
power plant in Maine and transmitting
the electric power out of the State, he
said that if the towns were permitted
to use the power all along the direct
line through the State il would be a
good thing and that many industries
would spring up because Of it.
A good sized number of members
were present and needless to say great
ly appreciated the speakers remarks
on Thursday evening. March 1st. anoth-
er Of these club night gatherings will
