OTHER MATTERS HEARD
BEFORE JUDICIARY

Prior to the hearing on the Baxter
bill. Representative Longley of Sidney
appeared in favor of an act providing
that road commissioners of Maine
towns, who are now appointed by the
selectmen, shall be elected by popular
vote The selectmen. he admitted,
sometimes appoint capable commission
ers, but he quoted several instances to
show that their choice is often very
poor. Furthermore. he contended, there
is a growing sentiment by the people
that, as the commissioners have the
expenditure of their money, it is they
who should be the ones to fudge.
Representative Boman of Ninal Haven,
who spoke in opposition held that the
law should either be left as it is or the
question of election or appointment be
made optional with each town. He
thought the selectmen, who make a
study Of the towns necessities, better
qualified to pass upon the capabilities
of road commissioners than the people
as a whole, and he held that under the
appointive system each commissioner
feels obliged to do his best. 1t is easier
for three men to call him to account
for his shortcomings than it would be
for the entire electorate to do SO.
Representative Harmon of Stoning
ton spoke in favor of a resolve propos-
ing a constitutional amendment chang
ing the date of Names election from
September to November. He held that
it will mean a great saving of money
if the Maine election comes on the same
day as the presidential election, and he
pointed out that Maine is the only state
which clings to the month of Septem
bcr. The change would have been made
years ago, he believed if it hadn't been
for politics. No expense will be at
tached to a referendum las several other
measures have already been referred.
Representative Boman of Vinalhaven
also spoke in favor. The date of Names
election, he said, has always been con-
sidered as a political question-instead,
as it should be, an economic one. The
change will save Maine $4,000 every
four years, and the least that the leg
islature can do is let the people de-
eide.

Rep. Tuttle of Caribou appeareo III Ia
,,or of a hill he introduced relative TO the
nublic highways of the State by reguiat-
ing the width of tires upon "asoAS aAu
cars carrying heavy loads.
Sen. Burleigh said he thought wen OIL
the act but believed the farmers should
have time to change over their rigging
and that the bill should be amended so
that lighter loads be carried until all
should have changed to the wide tires.
The bill provides three years for the
changing over, he was informed by KEEP
Tuttie. who was willing to accept amend
ments to the bill.
Rep Newcomb of Scarboro opposed the
bill. He called the attention of the COM
nittee to what this bill meant to the cit
les in the State if it went into operation
He said there were great concerns, such
as the American Express, big trucking
firms, great dairy companies and DIG
newsdealers which operated only in cit
les and never went into the country ana
they operated upon paved streets. For
them to change over meant hardship
and a great cost, and he thought the cit
les should be exempted.
Rep. Holbrook said he would accept the
amendment and draw new bill embody-
ing that section referred to.
LYMAN II. Nelson of Portland appeared
in favor of the resolve authorizing the
treasurer to reissue matured State high
way bonds.
He said the bill should have the date
changed to January. 1919, instead OF 1918,
as the Legislature meets but once in two
years and that $4,000 worth of bonds
would be retired and the State treasurer
might reissue them.
Prof George T. Files Of Bowdoin Col
lege said the Maine Automobile Associa-
ton was in favor of the act and there
was no opposition.
! Sen. Burleigh of Aroostook appeared
! in behalf of his bill to provide for State
and county aid in the construction of

act and the need of it. This Is the second
