State Highways

It Is learned that the work of haul
ing gravel for the State highway work
is going on finely under the super
vision of the State Highway Commits
sion. That on the State road is prac-
ticaliy done and it is said that the
same amount of gravel was probably
never hauled 50 cheaply before in the
State, all the conditions having been
well-nigh perfect.
\ great deal more gravel can be
hauled in the winter than in the sum-
mer for less money and parties
throughout the State. having seen the
wisdom of the commissions course in
this matter are taking it up for them
selves, considering it wise plan 10
have the gravel on the spot and ready
for use in the spring and not be opllged

every such body in the State repre-
sented. This convention will be the
first National Good Roads ever held in
New England and will bring together
the best roadbuilders of the country,
with a complete exhibition of the lat
est road building machinery, equip
ment and appliances. Every feature OF
highway administration. construction
and maintenance Will be thoroughly
discussed and the meeting should be
distinct benefit to every person attend
ing. The Maine Highway Commission
will have a booth at this show and all
will be cordially welcomed.
The official program sent out by the
managers included sessions of the 14th
annual convention of the American
Road Builders Association, the sew
enth American Good Roads Congress
and the eighth National Good Roads
Show. So important will be this series
of talks, lectures, exhibitions and
demonstrations, especially just now
when Good Roads is so prominently
before the people of Maine, that the
commission has also invited the Legls-
lative Committee on Ways and Bridges
to attend. 1t is probable that part at
least of the committee will plan to do
so.

1--WE are the People
A Voice from the Past

The following anonymous piece OF
poetry was recently found in an old
volume of the archives of one of the
offices in the State House and the
finder and others are interested to
learn if anyone can identify the author.
1t appears to have referred to the
members Of a previous Legislature and
is mot so bad as it might be. Read
it:
I'VE are the people"-gathered here
From every quarter of the state:
The grand old commonwealth SO dear
To all our hearts, our duty clear
Is that we wisely legsate,
ut only for the high, the great,
But for the lowly ones as well,
So that our history may tell
We did our duty. without fear
Or favor, in our 'lotted sphere.
And when these leaves our children turn
In wears to come, when we have passed
Beyond the veil, they will not spurn
Our record, if we strive to learn
BY honest effort, first and last,
The right to say that we. have cast
Our vote or influence with intent
To further public betterment.
$50 mote it be-" May time reveal
We labored for the common veal.

Adjournment was taken to 10
o'clock Tuesday morning. after the
House has disposed of its routine mat
ters and attended to several of a per-
sonal nature
Representative Clarke of Randolph
voiced the opinion of the entire mem
bership, when he stated hiatt it was
about time that the House had some
means of seating the crowds which
came to the large hearings and intro
duced an order for 100 folding chairs,
which would to some extent relieve
the difficulty. Mr.. Barnes of Houlton
thought that the committee on public
buildings might be able to select some
better style Of chair and moved refer
cnce 70 that committee, but on motion
of Packard of RockIand the order re-
CeiNed passage.
IT having been aSCertained that a
contract has been made for suitable
weather strips for the windows of the
hall of Representatives, a matter for
the protection and comfort of the
members, the order relative to that
matter was indefinitely postponed. It
might be interesting to learn that COM
plants were made Friday that the
House was too warm, in spite of the
zero weather outside
Representative Jordan of Baileyville
said he understood that Representa-
tive Dow of jefferson was i'll in Bos-
ton and asked that the clerk be in
structed to ascertain his location and
condition.

IL any person has been entertaining
the idea that the 18th Legislature has
not been doing or accomplishing any
thing during its session, which has
now consumed five weeks of the Gus
tomary time. that idea would have
been very effectually and permanently
removed had he followed the pace of
the last week. Friday mornings SEES
sion was not long, the routine quickly
being disposed of, that the members
who wished might get to their homes
on that day for the weekend recess,
to return for a 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning meeting
A, large amount of work was ac-
complished during the week. Commit
tee hearings were continuous through
out the afternoons, following the daily
sessions of the House and Senate and
while everyone was advised of the

bic, there was no Haste makes

UneXpended Balances of
the Automobile Fund

The States financial expert, Hon.
Timothy F. Callahan of Lewiston, at
one of the recent Budget hearings called
the attention of the Highway Commits
sion to certain unexpended balances of
the automobile fund appointments
made prior to July, 1913, now standing
given below and taken from the pub
lished yearly reports of the commits
sion.
The commissioners state that they
have repeatedly called the attention of
the several towns to these amounts due
them and for the past three years have
endeavored in every possible manner
to have some expenditures made on the
part of the towns, in order to have the
balances cleared away from the COM
missions books, without much sue
cess.
The Executive Councils of Governors
Plaisted and Haines explicitly ordered
certain work done on certain pieces of
highway and the commission has seen
no legal way of otherwise expanding
the money thus apportioned. hence,
through the negligence of the towns to
take advantage of a proposition de-
signed especially for their benefit, the
unexpended balances continue to APP
pear on the commissions books. The
commission has in mind to ask the
Legislature to authorize the commits
sion to transfer the small balances to
the commissions maintenance fund,
where it could be used with benefit to
the department and the State.
The balances are as follows:
