ing aid at the end of the month, the
total monthly expenditure for this

those discontinued, two were re-
married, one mother left the State,
one died and in the other case finan-
cial aid was no longer needed.
Seven applications were denied or
suspended during the month, four Of
them because the aid was not ac-
tually needed one because the chill
dren were not and could not be with
the mother. one because the mother
had tuberculosis in an infectious
form and the other because the chill
dren were dependent upon the father
and not the mother Seventy three
mothers were revisited, and 81
municipal boards were called upon.
At the end of September there
were under the supervision of the
Board 1854 children. 1853 of whom
were committed by the courts. and

tificates this year-nothing compared
with last seasons sale-inaSmuch as
the present law provides that the 20
cent resident hunters certificates
shall remain in force so long as the
licensee remains a citizen OF the
State. 1t has developed, however.
that a large number of hunters have
lost or accidentally destroyed their
licenses. and since the hunting sea
son has opened there has been an en-
tirely unexpected demand for these
licenses. Three telephones have
been constantly ringing, bringing
calls from all parts of the State for
additional supplies of blanks, which
are rapidly being forwarded.
Much confusion has arisen in this
State-owing to Il typographical err
ror in an item published in an out
of-the- State paper-with reference
to the law on woodcock. The error
in question was the use of the word
"woodcock" for "woodduck." While
woodducks are protected at all times
by both the State and Federal laws,
there has been no change. since last
season in the woodcock law in Maine,

Decision Bearing on Pro-
lection of Electric Patrons

\ decision has been rendered by
:. the Public Utilities Commission in
| the matter of the accident which took
place at Caribou Sept. last which
resulted in the death of Ernest II.
Good, aged 40 years. of Caribou.
Ernest H. Good and Fred Langen,
aged II years, were at work near the
coal bin in the cellar of John b.
Roberts house at Caribou on the
forenoon of Sept. Z, 1920. They
noticed sparks coming from all
four legs of the electric washing
machine which stood on the con-
crete floor on the opposite side Of
the cellar. Good went over to the
machine and took hold of the cord
attached to the machine, apparently
for the purpose of ascertaining the
cause of the trouble, but without any
result. He then took hold of the top
of the wringer with both hands and
was, instantly killed. Physicians were
summoned and every possible effort
was made to revive him but all to no
purpose.
Mrs. John Il. Roberts and Mrs.
Fred Roberts also received severe
shocks when they came in contact
with the tea kettle on the electric
stove in the Roberts kitchen, where
they were attempting to heat water
for the doctors who were working
over Mr.. Good. A large arc of cleo
trio sparks appeared back of the
stove. both heating plates in the oven,
and the electric iron connection were
burned out, and the heel was torn
from one of Mrs. Fred Roberts shoes.
Several other houses in the vicinity,
supplied from the same transformer,
also received an excessive amount OF
electricity.
This accident was caused by the
contact between the secondary and
the primary wires. These two
primary wires should have been re-
moved at the time the transformer
was changed when they no longer
served any useful purpose. Had this
been done. the accident might have
been avoided.
1T seems TO us. however, that the
original construction ought to have
been such that these wires, even If
left in position, would not have Gre
ated "a menace. The lives of the
patrons of our electric light and
power companies ought not to be
placed in Jeopardy by every rain that
comes and every wind that blows. 1T
present methods of construction are
at fault. they ought to be changed
We desire to call this matter to the
attention not only to the company
involved in this accident, but of the
other light and power companies OF
the State as well, to the end that
such steps as are necessary may he
taken 10 eliminate this class of acct
dents, a class of accidents. from
which. as it seems to us, we ought to
be nra cticalIV exempt"
