and have never asked the State for
any appropriation before" He also ex-
-plained in detail the reasons for ask
ing for the appropriation, and said
that all autoists are obliged to run to
Boothbay over this road.
The tourist leaves his automobile at
this point and goes to his summer
home among the various islands along
that section Of the coast. He said the
road was one Of the worst in the south
ern section of the State, and you
couldn't get into town by any other
road but this one. While the Wiscas-
set and Edgecomb delegations would
not receive so much benefit by the con-
struction of the road as would Booth
bay and Boothbay Harbor, those men
representing the towns hoped the COM
mittee might see its way clear to give
them the appropriation asked for in or
der that they might maintain their sum-
mer business and help their towns
people.
James E. PERKINS. Esq. Of Boothbay
Harbor said, IF this road is not fixed
we cannot develop that end of Lincoln
county"
Senator Butler Of Knox Appeared III
favor of resolve asking $1,000 for each
of the years 1917 and 1918 to widen
the turnpike road, so-called, in Camden
and Lincolnville, but not calling for
its future maintenance, as the original
bill was presented. He explained that
the road runs from Camden TO Lincoln
vile by the sea through a beautiful
picturesque country. The road is very
narrow and was but recently opened to
autos. A portion of the road was be-
gun two years ago and there now re
mains about $500 feet to finish on the
Camden end. This is one of the most
beautiful drives along any portion of
the Maine coast and is highly apprc-
cialrd by tourists and Maine people
I'VE do not ask for maintenance" said
the Senator. that was a mistake in
drawing the bill, We simply ask that
Il portion Of the road be finished this
.car and the remainder in another

State Board of Health

nr. A. c. Young. secretary of the
! State Board of Health. appeared to e:-
! plain the operation of that depaI tmen'
! and the appropriations requested. Tie
State Board of Health is asking for t1c
same appropriation as last year for reg
ular expenses and in addition a special
appropriation of $4,000 to employ a
I chief medical inspector and improve the
/ efficiency of the State Board of Health
, in other respects
DR.. Young compared The appropriation
for public, health in Maine with that in
other states. Maine stands 18th in tnu
! list, according to per capita approprla-
| tion for public health. Maine spends
two cents a year per capita, compared
with IL cents per capita in Florida and
somewhat smaller amounts in other
states.
They ought to spend more than we
! do, Doctor" remarked Senator Higgins.

as ours"
| Dr. Young's reply was that Maine is
| unfortunately situated. being wedged
between two Canadian provinces, from
which contagious diseases are frequent
~ transmitted to this state. Also there

questions by Budget Chief Callahan
brought out the fact that only compara
lively small amounts of the appropra-
ton of $1,000 a year for emergency had
been expended in 1915 and 1916, also
that there are regularly seven clerks in
the Office
There was long discussion about the
department of vital statistics and
whether ii was necessary to publish
such large reports annually. DR. Young
felt that it was, and that it would be
better to cut down the number of copies
than the size Of the volume.
The figures showed that one or two
of the clerks had been out a great deal
on account of sickness. and Councillor
Nichols remarked that the Office seemed
to be spreading sickness INSTEAD OF pre-
venting II,
Senator Bartlett asked what the ode
partment did to prevent contagious dis
| eases. and DR.. Young told of the iuSpec-
tion of water and directions given diff
ferent localities.
Asked whether he believed in the COM
mission form of handling state depart
ments, DR. Young said he thought the
present system of the Board of Health
was most economical and efficient

Bath Military and Orphan Asylum

Representative Edward w Larrabee
of Bath conducted the hearing in be-
half of the Bath Military and Naval
Orphan Asylum. H. \. Duncan, the
treasurer Of the Board of TuSteeS eX-
plained that the institution would ask
for more for maintenance for the years
1917 and 1918 than for the preceding
two years, because of the increase of
cost of everything The food supplies
for the asylum cost nearly $4,000 last
year and the estimate is that il will
cost $500 this year. The asylum at
present has GA inmates. but on pinch
rs can be accommodated and in MAX
ing the estimates, provisions are made
for 20. The institution asks for an ap-
preparation for new play house. new
boiler. for painting and placing new
floors in three of the dormitories.
Major William r. KimbalI, president
Of the trustees. says that if the insti-
tuition has Il new boiler less coal would

The present building is of wood
very old and dilapidated, almost i'm
possible to heat, and wretchedly made

is needed for maintenance.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1917-01-25

| Dean Louise |. Pryor appeared in
behalf of the Mason Institute of
Springvale, which asks for an appro-
priation of $4,000 in 1917 and like
amount in 1918 in the place of an an
nual appropriation of $1,000 for 1915
and 1916.
She said that the institution had run
behind about $1,000 last year and had
it not been for the State appropriation
there would have been a deficit of
about $500. The school, which was the
only school of it's kind in the State,
giving vocational training to girls and
young women. had about 100 students
only about one fourth of which were
from out of the State. 1t offered two
distinct courses. one in secretarial
training and the other in home eco
nomics. Girls trained in this had Sc
cured positions in the State, where
they were of great service. One was
directing sewing in the State hospital
at Augusta, others were on the staff
at the State School for Girls at Halo
well and the State School for Boys at
South Portland Added equipment and
books for the library were needed and
there was additional expense caused
by the high cost of living.

amount for a gymnasium, s2500 to fur

$1,000 for permanent improvements.
He said that if these amounts were
granted in the next few years there
would be no need of any large appro-
priations in the near future. not more
than $1,000 for ordinary purposes.
