The fight to make a 9-inch lobster
a legal lobster for sale and consump-
ton purposes in Maine has been re-
newed. petitions having been for
some time in circulation in accord

Beach. Kittery Depot. Eliot, Kittery
and York.
The petition seeks the enactment
OF a law to correspond to the Mas

lobster inches in length. The sup
position is that the leaders Of the
movement plan to have sufficient sig
natures to the petition to bring the
matter before the proposed special

sion Is called for October TO ratify
the s1o.e0o,o00 bond issue for good

act and it would be operative in 90
Gays after the adjournment of the
Legislature. Should the LEGISLATURE
ran or refuse TO pass the act making
inches the legal length of a lobster

pie Tor determination. probably at the
next general election in 1920.

Commissioner of Inland Fisheries

that the department cannot at this
time order the requested Hsnway IN
the dam of the Bar Harbor 4 Union

count of the heavy expense that
would fall upon the company. which
would have to bear it.
A hearing was recently held ut

expense. William E. Whiting repre-

HIGH COST OF LIVING
Will Be Discussed by the Conference
of Governors

The annual Conference of Governors.
to be held on Aug 1874 at Salt Lake
City. Utah, will in all probability, at
the suggestion of Governor Milliken Of
Maine, devote an entire day 10 the
discussion Of the present high cost of
living and means to settle that vexa-
tious question. Governor Milliken this
week sent kilograms to the Governor
of every other state in the Union IN
which he suggested that a day of the
conference could probably be given
TO discussion of that subject, with
view to a possible solution.
kilograms in reply have been re-
ceived during the past two days AMI
without exception the chief executives
who plan to attend the conference have
each expressed himself as heartily n
accord with the plan. Some have even
gone so far as to suggest that a dis
cussion Of this kind should take prec-
edence over all other subjects.
The annual conference of governors
will open on Monday, Aug. Is, in Salt
Lake City. with Governor Simon Bam-
berger of Utah. About IS governors
have signifled their intention of attend
ing. Three days will be devoted to a
business program and the high cost of
living will take a fourth.
Governor Miiiiken decided some weeks
ago that. because of the press Of du-
ties in Maine and the distance to travel,
he would not be present at the confer
ence this year. He feels. however. that
IL sufficient number of the governors
from other states do attend and are
willing to put in day or more if need
be on the matter of the high cost of
living, he may change his mind and
60. He has been discussing the matter
with the executive council and is now
awaiting more replies from other states
The program indicates that some
highl" interesting and valuable papers
and addresses will be presented. Gov
ernor Harrington of Maryland and Gov
ernor Philip of Wisconsin will present
their views on state Budget" ami
give the experiences of Their states
with that subject. Governor Davis of
Idaho and Governor McKelvie of Ne
braska will give the experience and !
make recommendations from their ex-
periments in the consolidation of ad- !.
