Deputy Attorney General Fred r.
Lawrence of Skowhegan in an opinion
just rendered declares that sums due
under the so called bonus act for
veterans of the World War lare not
subject to attachment.
Deputy Attorney General Lawrence
rendered the opinion at the request of
Adjutant General George Mel. Pres
son and his letter covering the matter
is as follows:
You have asked for an opinion
from this office as to whether or not
any sum which may be due to a sol
der of the late war under the so
called bonus act can be attached for a
private debt which he may owe.
The only form Of attachment of a
debt which obtains in this State is
what is known as trustee process
The State of Maine cannot be sued
either by this process or in any othe,
manner except by express legislative
consent. Should an attempt be made
TO attach these funds by trustee
process against the members of the
board, the provisions of Section So OF
Chapter 81 of the Revised Statute:
would become applicable.
Paragraph three of that section
provides that no person shall be ad
judged trustee by reason Of an,
money in his hands as a public Office
for which he is accountable to thu
principal defendant We therefore
advise you that sums due under tht
so called bonus act are not subject t.
attachment"

Miles of New Sub
ways for New York
During Next Is Years

New York. Oct. S.--This city will
have a new double-decked subway
running most of the length of Man
haitian Island, if the plans proposed by
John H. Delaney. Transit Construction
Commissioner. to provide for the in
crease in traffic in the next rs years
are put into effect.
1t will be necessary to resort to this
double-deck subway construction. in
the opinion of the Commissioner. be-
cause the congested section of Man
haitian borough has only IL north and
south arteries to serve more than 100
cross streets.
His plans call for an eight-trach
doupie-deck line on the west side OF
the city from the Battery to 1o5th
street running under Eighth and AM
sterdam avenues. Only tour tracks
would be constructed at first but these
would be so located that another four
track unit could be built under or on
top of it.
Mr.. Delaney also proposes the build
ing of another north and south sub
way of four to six tracks under Fifth
anu hdulSOH avenues OIl INC So9k S'ue
and extending from the Battery to the
Harlem river. Both these arteries
would have connections extending to
the boroughs of the Bronx, Brooklyn
or Richmond.
The Commas ioner advocates the
construction of I. new single track
river tunnels. AS the present system
has 81 such tunnels, this would make
total of IS tunnels.
He says that passenger traffic on the
surface of the main arteries, north
and south or crosstown, will soon have
to be discontinued because Of the great
increase of traffic of vehicles and pc
destrians; with the result that all pas
senger traffic on these streets would be
forced into subways or on elevated
lines.

another 500 and one lost a watch
valued at $3.50. Combination 1 and
Chemical 1 of Brunswick were called
but could do nothing towards saving
