Industrial Accidents

A decision was rendered Friday by
Major Arthur L. Thayer of Bangor.
chairman Of the Maine Industrial
Accident Commission, in the case of
James Gereaux versus the city of
Old Town, denying compensation.
The facts alleged in the petition
were that Gereaux. Sept. II, 1919.
while in the employ of the sewer de-
partment Of the city OF Old Town,
received an injury which resulted in
a fractured rib, on his left side, and
that the injury was caused by fall
while walking along a ditch where
sewer pipe was being laid by the
crew with which he was working at
the time.
Two questions were raised by the
city of Old Town and it's answer to
the petition, namely, first. whether or
not Gereaux suffered an injury by
accident as alleged, and, secondly,
even if there were an injury by ac-
cident, as alleged, whether or not
Gereaux was an employe under the
terms Of the workmen's compensa-
ton act.
Chairman Thayer finds that in
view of the facts submitted at the
hearing, that Gereaux has not shown
by the weight Of the evidence that
he did sustain an injury by accident
while in the employ Of the city OF
Old Town, Sept. II, 1919.

Two new measures have been
added to the equipment. When en-

on Eagle Lake. A boat house has been
built on the shore Of Chamberlain Lake
near the Chamberlain farm buildings.
The main improvements made on the
telephone lines the past season was the
building Of a 5-mile line connecting
the Chesuncook region with the ALA
cash region. This was built early in the
spring Of the past season and runs from
Chesuncook to he Tramway Camps at
the head Of Chamberlain Lake via Mud
Pond. This was very expensive piece
OF work but 1t Is the belief of the de-
partment that it is money well invested.
Help can now be called from the war
dens on the lower Allagash region to
help fire fighting in the upper section OF
the Chesuncook region, another motor
boat was purchased and placed in
Grand Lake.

According to the annual report OF the
Maine Forestry District. which was
made public Friday. go forest fires were
reported by the watchmen and patrol
men during the past season. The
services Of outside help. besides the
regular force, were required on IS fires,
the causes Of which were as follows:
Lightning. eight; railroad, nine; IN

took. oSs; Franklin, 72s: Hancock. 311a
Penobscot. 41S; Piscataquis, 80; Oxford,

ut is the belief Of this department
that the greatest need Of the present
time in this State is the education Of
the percent Of the population which
does not act with care and intelligence
in its treatment Of the Woods" says
the report.
Most Of the citizens Of Maine and
are very CAREFUL continues the report
There remains that small residue
that always cause trouble. and to these
people the department is trying every
year and especially this year. to reach
them by putting out posters. The post
ers put out the past year are mostly
metal signs hung on trees and above
roads. During this past season pamph
lets have been distributed in practi-
cally all Of the public places in the
State. The Kennebec Valley Protec-
tive Association has also helped us
great deal in this particular work.
Telephone Lines
During the past season the depart
ment built about $50 miles Of telephone
lines and 10 camps. Fifty-five tele-
phone instruments were purchased ana
installed and six test sets were added to
the service. A a0-foot motor boat with
a 20-horse power motor, the Catherine
B.. was built by E. NJ White & Com
pany of Old Town and placed on
Chamberlain Lake.

Weights and Measures

Deputy Sealer Of Weights and
Measures Levi S. Pennell has just
been engaged in inspecting .
quantity Of samples of ice cream
containers submitted to him for ap-
prevail under the Maine law. Some
of them failed to pass the test, the
requirement that the size Of the con-
tents be plainly marked thereon not
being complied with. Others are
properly marked and will be per-
mitted TO be sold in this State. The
rejected containers have the size in
sort of water mark or stamped into
the material. making q very. indis-
tinct marking. one that almost has
to be searched for to find. The 9TH
ers have the size plainly printed in a
noticeable place.
Deputy Pencil has recently had
added to his stock of equipment
Measuregraph, very ingenious ma
chine for measuring cloth. It is
compact little machine, the top
showing three movable dials Below
these dials is an aperture or slot
through which the edge Of the cloth
being measured is run. This process
turns a set Of wheels which regis
ters the length Of the cloth passing
through, in Fights Of yard. One Of
the other dials show the various
prices per yard and the third will
instantly compute the price Of the
piece, at whatever the
price may be. It is simple enough,
when you see it perform its duties.
The deputy's Office floor is just now
adorned with five 50-pound and one

weights are the official set from the
