the result is that the probable income
does not equal the probable expense.
This of course does not mean that
the company can be permitted to con-
tinue in distributing polluted water.
1t does, however, mean that II the
company Is required to increase it's
capital expenditures by relocating
its present intake pipe>and chlorinat-
ing the water distributed the rates to
be charged may have to be increased.
"Jackman does not appear to be
growing, and the information which
we receive indicates that instead of
increasing in population it will prob
ably decrease within the next few
years We do not feel authorized to
require the company to do any more
than is reasonably necessary to clean
up as far as possible the present
situation in an effort to supply as
nearly as may be- disable water. The
officers of the town must do their
part. If the town itself continues to
contaminate this public water sup
ply, the commission will be obliged to
act. We do not expect that we shall
be called upon, because we believe
that the assessors will attend to mat
tiers to which attention has been
called. We do feel that the water
company should relocate it's intake
pipe and that it must chlorinate its
supply"

legged neglect of children, heard at

Reginald. The first had been sent to
Opportunity Farm and the other two
are at Augusta.

United States Rifles
For Am. Legion Posts

Cali American Legion Posts In
Maine, az well as elsewhere, are to
be equipped with. United States rifles
for ceremonial purposes, that Ii to
the number Of 10 to each post" said
.Coloffei Albert Qrsenlaw. department
commander Of Maine. "Ths United
States has madc the offer to furnish
each post with these rifles, which arc
either obsolete or condemned for
other reasons, but perfectly service
able for the use named. Ammunition
will be furnished at the cost to the
government, which with cost of
packing, ETC., will make the blank
cartridges cost the posts about $40
per 1000.
by the rate the applications from
posts are coming in for these rifles,
we may expect the American Legion
boys to have equipment enough in q
very short time to .repell quite an in
vasion."
Colonel Greenlaw is much interest
ed in the army recruiting campaign
in Maine, as he firmly believes that
one of If not the best methods of
preventing warfare is preparing for
it in advance. The colonel said:
1.-THE American Legion of Maine
has been asked to take an active
hand in this recruiting for the pur-
pose above mentioned. The army
| cannot maintain recruiting stations
in every town and it is a matter to
put up to the Legion as patriotic
duty, in order that Names quota of
1900 men may be filed. l have no
doubt but many legionnaires will
feel interest enough to do their bit
along this line and while at work
| along this line they can also be re-
cruiting members for the Legion,
thus performing a double duty and
SERVICE"
