BELFAST

| The April term of the Supreme Ju-
dicial court will convene in Belfast
on Tuesday with Associate Justice
George F. Hanson presiding. Cecil
| Clay is the official stenCgraphcr
| While there will be a long civil dock
ct it is impossible to forecast the
length of the term but it is expect
ed that the criminal docket will be
small. For the past two terms, those
of September and January little in
way of trial cases was done. owing
to many of the attorneys in the coun.
ty being busy on the exemption
boards or queStionaires. For this rea-
son many cases We're continued
which will very likely lengthen the
term
The public libraries of Waldo
county are doing their bit in the war
work. several of them in the smaller
communities being the headquarters
for the Red Cross work and in a
number of instances they have done
much in the collection of books and
magazines for the cantoRments or the
Y. NJ. c. \. huts at the front. In
Islcsboro a new building has been
recently completed. The following
brief statements have been received
from the librarians throughout the
county:

PUBLIC UTILITIES EX-
TENDS X. r. CHARTER

Inc Public Utilities Commission
Saturday rendered a decision order
ing that the corporate existence and
powers of the Mattawamkeag and
Northern Railway Co. be extended
Tor term of three years from May
10. 1918. The decision says in part:
Inc Bangor & Aroostook Railroad
Co MED written protest against the
granting Of the petition, alleging that
IL was In violation Of it's rights I'M
der chapter 122 of the private and
special laws of 1891. as amended by
chapter 1852 of the private and spe-
cial laws OF 1898, guarantying it
against the paralleling of its line of
railroad within certain limits and
during the period therein specified.
namely, 80 years after the passage
of the act of 1891 No other opposi-
ton was presented.
The petitioner presented oral tes-
tiinony in support of it's petition.
This petitioner is incorporated as
a street railroad company under the
general laws of Maine. Its articles
OF association were approved by the
board OF Railroad Commissioners
May 3. 1906. They were filed and
recorded. with the certificate Of APP
prevail thereon, in the office of the
secretary of state. May 10, 1906, and
his certificate issued on the same
nate December %. 1909, the Railroad
Commissioners reviewed and extend
ed the charter for three years from
May 10. 1909, and on March IS. 1913.
they revived and extended ii for the
further term of three years April Is.
l"lo, this commission. after due no.
tee and hearing, granted an extern
sion of three years from May 10. 1915.
II does not appear that the Bangor
& Aroostook Railroad Co. invoked it's
alleged rights on any of these occa-
sions. and we do not think that 1t
should now be heard in this particu.
lar form of proceeding to interpose
an objection, which. so far as we are
concerned, addresses itself only to
our discretion.
IF the construction Of the Petition
er's railroad should violate the legal
rights OF the Bangor & Aroostoo1
'hel may properly be protected in a
court OF law, and it does not appea r
from anything in this case thar the
immunities claimed by the latter
company will not expire within the
term OF extension prayed for, The
rights of the parties under the sne-
clal legislation of 1891 and 1899 must
be determined when they are threat
ened to be invaded. We now EXPRESS
no opinion concerning them.
1t appears that this charter was
originally granted - Years ago. and
ordinarily some strong reason ou.h.
to be shown for a further extension
II appears that in 1915. early in the
present three-year term. the pe,i-
toner expended $4,000 in SURVEYS and
preparation for construction. What
ever may have been the cause for in
activity during the preceding years,
the evidence shows substantial prog
gress and expenditure during the
earlier part of the present term and
| sufficient reason for defining further
operations"

was drowned. The body was found a
short distance below the spot where it
went into the water. The child was
visiting at the home of Fred Robichaull
in Embden. and with two other small
children had gone to the bridge. 1t is
understood a board upon which he was
standing at the edge Of the bridge gave
way causing the tragedy. The children
ran home and notified the family of
the accident, but their arrival was too
late to save the boys life.
The body was taken Sunday to the
family home in Scion.
