STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting Council A. NJ, Standard Time
Friday, June2

Inquiries have been received at the
office of the State Highway Com
mission from day to day as to why
certain sections Of State highway
have not been put under construc-
ton. The outstanding yeason is that
it is absolutely impossible to get
materials with which to carry on the
large percentage of the work which
the commission had hoped to have
under construction at this time,
transported.
A few concrete examples of the
difficulties along this line may serve
to give the public a view Of this mat
ter which apparently they do not
have today.
Approaching the market conditions
and knowing that Portland cement,
for example, would be hard to Sc
cure this year. the commission early
last February, made contracts for the
delivery of 100000 barrels of the ce-
ment for shipment to several diff
ferent road contracts and for one
bridge.

VIM. Desmond Is
Here Saturday
prince and Betty"

You must see Bill" Desmond on
Saturday at the Colonial theatre in
1.-THE Prince and Betty" because it
it one of the best that popular film
actor has done-one that will please
you from start to finish: 1t is said
that the plot moves SO fast that you
haven't second in which to think of
your own troubles-and that is some
thing, isn't it?
The story is one Of adventure ana
romance told in humorous vein.
The plot gets thick and funny and
then gets thicker, until you wonder
where in the world even the actors
will get off, because it really grows
serious and dangerous. But, you
know-actors on the screen have the
most happy faculty Of getting nicely
and safely out of any scrape and 90
it so cleverly that off comes our hats
to them. That is why "Bill' Des-
mond in THE Prince and Betty" is
SO good.
The other Saturday attractions will
be up to snuff. No. II of 1.-The Lost
City," with a Lyons & Moran COM
edy, Non Skid Love" and the Pathe

receiving Is or 90 cars of cement
per day to carry out the work con-
tempiated, it is receiving probably
six cars per week against this con-
tract which calls for 700 carloads of
cement. 1t is only with the greatest
difficulty that this small amount is
being moved, in fact, the parties fur
nishing the cement have stated that
IN their judgment not over one third
of the amount which the commission
expected to use will be shipped. The
companies have cement and would be
glad to ship it and get their money
for it. 1t is simply case of not
being able to get the cars.
The Highway Commission last
March took bids on 100000 gallons
of asphalt and tar, realizing the con-
dltions under which the work is to
be done this year. The commission
placed contracts for 100000 gallons
of asphalt, feeling that the state
would be fortunate if the commission
would let the road contracts which
would use the material.
The commission has been unable
to let a single contract calling for
this material but has started on a
cost basis, one job where asphalt
will be used.
For the last month the commission
has been in correspondence with the
railroads for the purpose of getting
embargoes removed for the shipment
of asphalt for this job, only $1,000
gallons. or IA carloads being re-
quired. Clearance was finally Sc
cured for the movement Of this ma
terial and assurances were received
from the asphalt company that it
would move from it's plant, Tuesday,
June is. Since then the commission
was notified by wire that a strike a.,
the asphalt refinery had prevented
the movement of the material, but
that it would come forward as soon
as the strike was adjusted. Embar-
goes have been placed. by the rail-
roads which will further delay the
movement of this material.
The two examples are typical of
the daily experiences of the high.
way commission. Last February a
carload or automatic dumping equip
ment for motor trucks was ordered.
with every assurance of an early de-
livery Not one Of the hoists has
been received as yet, and the state
highway commission is unable 10
get any definite idea when the hoists
will be chopped.
Similar conditions prevail in all
the states. About six weeks ago
New York stopped letting contracts
for the season, although not over one
third of the proposed program had
been put under construction. Con-
necticut has done the same and many
other states have very materially re-
duced their programs and several
have stopped all attempts of under
taking further work.

Cheating Scales Seized
BY Dep. Sealer Pencil

L. S. Pennell, Deputy State Sealer
of Weights and Measures, has re-
turned from tour of inspection in
Oxford, Franklin and Androscoggin
counties paying particular attention
to the inspection of scales and weigh
ing devices employed in slaughter
houses. Nine sets of scales were
seized and confiscated, such being
found to be inaccurate and entirely
unfit to insure correct weights. In
these particular instances the viola
were promptly condemned and seized.
In several other instances where the
prcpiietors of establishments were
found using incorrect scales and
signified a willingness to dispose of
them and promised to install new ap-
paratus, the scales We're condemned
but were not taken.
With the price of meat as it is. il
seems no more than fair to ask the
dealers to insure just weight and just
measure for products that have prac-
tically doubled in price in the last
few months. Regardless of the price
of any commodity, the statute pro-
vdes for the delivery of goods with
accurate weight and measure. WIKI

Of nonresident camp owners and
visitors and residents Of Belgrade and
vicinity interested in the beautiful
Belgrade chain of lakes is doing
toward restocking these waters with
black bass. These people have or
ganized what is known as the Bel
grade Lakes Association. Incorporat-
ed. the same being incorporated un-
der the laws of Maine. and during
the past two years have expended
nearly $1,000 for the purpose of i'm
proving bass fishing in these valua-
BILE waters.
The following is from a statement
made by Christian AK. B. B. Barnes.
E. H. Barnes, H. c. Barthman, L. A.
Bartlett, G. A. Beals, S. G. Beals, E..
A. Bean and w. P. Weaver, members
of the association:
Restocking Great Pond started
July, 1918, with $4,000 advanced fry
from the Waramaug black bass
hatchery at New Preston. Ct. Dur
ing the summer of 1919 an addi-
tional $4,000 small-mouth black bass
from the same source were planted:
also 10000 advanced fry from local
waters were furnished through the
courtesy of Willis E. Parsons, COM
missioner Of inland fisheries and
game.
ITO the $4,000 bass introduced in
1918 and 1919 will be added this year
$4,000 advanced fry from Connect
cut, further Dot from Maine waters
and stock furnished by the Bureau of
Fisheries. Washington, D. c.. The
latter supply has been secured
through the active cooperation of
Representative Wallace H. White, Jr.
THE male and female parents of
the Waramaug stock came from diff
ferent sections of the country to
avoid all inbreeding. The introduce
ton of bass from various sources
should insure splendid stock in our
waters for many years but the i'm
provement will not be marked for
another two years."
