Enforcing the Slash Lawn

Kenneth F. Lee of Augusta, in

strenuous season on the road

day about the work. He said:

New York, August 12.-The great
est waterfront improvement here in
so years, involving the removal OF
80 Anticipated piers along the Hudson
River, and the erection in their stead
Of IS new and vastly larger piers of
latest design. has been planned by
Murray Hubert, commissioner of
docks. and approved by the Sinking
Fund Commission. The improve
ment will cost $50 900, 900 and will re-
quire 10 years to complete. Work is
expected to be started next Spring.
This with the proposed vehicular
tunnel to New Jersey is expected to
solve New York's west side dock
problem. The new waterfront sys-
tenn is to consist of wide piers, slips
and marginal streets, with ware
houses and tracks where available in
the rear.

been built along the entire stretch,
no rock will be encountered to make
depth of 40 feet and most Of the
real estate is owned by the city.
These new piers will increase the
pier storage area so per cent. if they
are made only one-story." said Mr.
Cosgrove. But because of the high

Limerick. The selectmen Of the
towns or the owners Of the land were
notified and these conditions will be
cleared up as soon as wet weather
permits.
Extended trips through Andres
coggin, Knox, Lincoln. Somerset and
Franklin counties, on which the roads
were posted with the warning signs,
resulted in the finding Of a great deal
Of dangerous slash. In each case the
party responsible has been located
and the brush will be removed this
fall.
The new metal railroad signs are
being put up in all the stations in the
State, where they attract more at
tention than could be obtained any
where else. I believe that the meth
DDS being employed by this depart
ment are fully efficient and that
everything possible is being done to
lessen the danger of forest fires both
INSIDE and outside the Forestry Dis
trici.
"Automobilists could aid materially
in this work by reporting bad cases
Of slash to the department. It is OBJ
viously impossible for one man to
locate all of the slash in Maine in the
short summer season, although the
Ford car which the department has
furnished has made it possible to
cover much more of the territory than
would otherwise have been done. And
such cases reported will be promptly
investigated and the slash removed,
either by the parties responsible or by
agents of this department. In either
case the land owner or the party
leaving the slash eventually pays the
bill, and it is much less expensive for
them to obey the law in the first
place.
During the months Of October and
November a great deal of the slash
ali over the State will be burned and
another season will find the roads Of
Maine in much safer condition.

Two Androscoggin men, who for 4

boat and, being of an active nature.
was prevented from escaping by q
well-aimed blow on the head with

The strange" Ito them creature
was taken ashore and exhibited to
the admiring and envious people,
most of whom recognized it as n

got the mink and they told him, as

1t is said that the men have been
somewhat disturbed in peace of mind
for the past few days. 1t is also
said that it will cost them something
like $2S to $50 for having caught and
killed that little young mink, which

Many OF the medical men and

outfit being motorized, will mean a
great deal to the State in time of
calamity or great need, as it can be
moved very quickly. One of the
leading surgeons OF the State one
who was very active in the service
during the late war, is heartily in
sympathy with the field hospital idea
and believes it will be one of the
most important organizations for
public good yet formed. Standing as
it will ready to move in any calamity
or epidemic, one can readily see
what great service it would have
been to the people during the recent
terrible epidemic of the flu-with it's
corps of doctors, equipped with all
the necessary medical supplies, beds,
clothing. blankets. tentage and
transportation, ready to move at al
most moments notice.
