Mechanic Falls School
Difficulty SmoOthed Over

The difference between the School
Board and tho graduating class of
the Mechanic Falls High school have
been adjusted and the class on Tues
day returned to school. The School
Board had requested the class to
spend as little money on their grad
uation as possible, and turn over any
unexpended balance of the $50 al
lowed them by the town.
The class had decided TO have an
ineXpensiNr graduation. but thought
they might be allowed to spend the
money the town appropriated for
their reception. and claimed that they
had no right to give it to the Red
Cross or any one else. and when the
board insisted the class left school.
The board had a conference with the
class on Monday and after full ex-
PLANTATION of the situation the class
decided to return to school again.
The graduation will occur on Thurs
day as originally planned

WATCHING THE COURSE
OF THE L.. A. & w. RY.

| Chairman Benjamin l.. Cleaves Of
the Public Utilities Commission re-
Gently said to Lewiston journal
man:
I'VE are watching with keen in
/, terest the result of our ruling tina t
the l.. a. & w. company might in
crease its rate of fare TO seven cents.
We tried to be just to both the pub
lie and the company: and it was a
delicate. difficult problem. We con-
sidered both a six and seven cent in
crease; and the dominating reason
why we permitted the latter was
this: If, after raising the fare to six
cents. the service had not improved
and the public had remained dissat-
iSfied, officials of the company could
truthfully have said. we told YOU at
the hearing that six-cent fare
would do no good. We cannot i'm
prove our service because you have
not permitted us the means to do So
Everybody would have been dissatis-
fled. and their dissatisfaction would
have been justified.
The ruling we have made. how
ever. places the issue squarely I'd to
officials of the company. We have
granted them what they asked We
have granted what they themselves
said would be the means toward i'm :
proved service and better financial
standing; and, ii the service does
not improve, they cannot explain
their failure by saying that VIC did
not give them fair square oppor-
tunity We have provided the
means. and il now rests upon them
to accomplish definite results.
Eve shall now await, with keen
interest, what these results NAV be.
If, after giving tho company exact :
ly what is asked, there is not an i'm
provement in the service and the
cause of what has been a just and
reasonable public complaint is not
removed: in other words, if the COM
pany fails to make good-then the
quicker the commission knows it, the
better. We can then take the next
step, secure in the conviction that we
have dealt fairly hy the company
and did not refuse if the opportunity
of working ont its salvation
