Notice was issued by the public
utilities commission Saturday that il
has summarily investigated the com
plant that the gas service of the
Peaks Island Corporation on Peaks
Island and especially that portion OF
its service which concerns the gtreet
lighting upon the island, is made

The commission states that after
such summary investigation it is sat

warrant a formal public hearing be-
ing ordered as to matters SO investi
gated. and furnishes the Peaks Island
Corporation as written statement
giving notice of the matter under in

public street lighting service which II
is rendering upon the island is in
adequate IN all respects, and that the
service which it is rendering to pn-

Food conditions regulate migra-

generally their speed will be from 80
to 40 miles an hour. with only a few
hours of rest each day or night. The

the breeding birds Of some species
are non migratory, birds Of the
same specie breeding in the North
passing over their Southern rela-

LAS one Of the extreme cases in
flight we may consider the Golden
Plover. which breed above the Arc
tic circle and winter in Argentina !;
the fall trail being generally taken
via Labrador, Gulf Of st. Lawrence,
Novo Scotia and the New England
coast, thence straight away to South
America, over the ocean, oftentimes
making the trip Of 24o0 miles with
out rest. After a short rest in
South America, the journey to Ar

THE migration of the chimney

is undiscovered. They have been
followed as far south as the Gulf Of
Mexico and there they disappear in
the air and are lost to the human
eye until they return several months
later.
1T is pleasure to note that the
migratory birds are on the increase,

TENANTS UP IN
ARMS AGAINST
SOARING RENTS
Massachusetts People Band
Themselves Together To.
Fight Further Increases;
Legislature May Act.


Boston, April 22.-Massachusetts
has not yet been able to make up
for its shortage of homes and keep
rents from sky-roCketing A state
commission on the necessaries of
life is struggling with the problem,
but meanwhile tenants in this city
and elsewhere have obtained little
relief. Several tenant groups re-
Gently refused to pay advances in
rent demanded of them and by
joint action avoided eviction which
would have been legal upon thirty
days notice.
Two hundred tenants at Revere
have formed a corporation known
as the Tenants league to combat
rent increases and have announced
that they will tolerate no more ad-
vances in rent and requested aid
from the city's local department.
The issue there is still in doubt.
An attempt to solve the problem
by arbitration has been made in
Brockton, a shoe manufacturing
center A board composed of two
tenants, two landlords and a fifth
member to be selected by the OH
ers is to decide whether rents have
been unduly advanced when dis
putes arise between landlords and
tenants.
The commission on the necessa-
ries of life has investigated the
housing and rent problems and has
contributed a number of sugges-
tons for their solution but as yet
has made no formal report. 1t has
urged the cities to form housing
corporations and take over and i'm
prove abandoned tenements by
workingmen, who had moved to
better ones The commission found
there were 5000 tenements which
We're unoccupied because the land
lords would not remodel them so as
to make them fit for occupancy.
At the sugges ion of the commits
sion bill has been introduced into
the legislature that would limit the
return from investments in
dwelling houses to per cent. The
purpose of it is to prevent specu-
lation in homes. The commission
ers found that many builders had
stopped construction of houses be-
cause of the high cost of labor and
materials and had gone to speCulat,
