STATE HOUSE
Meeting une Tuesday, JAM $50 A. NJ

Beginning January /, 1922, all
motor trucks, tractors and traiers
operated across the Maine boundary
line on the highways OF that state
must be registered in Maine, and
must have attached registration
plates issued by the secretary of
state of that state. Heretofore all
out-of-state motor vehicles coming
into Maine have been allowed pc
riod Of so days without registration
provided they were registered in the
state of the owners residence. This
rule still applies to pleasure cars
but the reciprocity feature of the
Maine Motor Vehicle Law, in so far
as it relates to CONNER cial vehicles
has been repealed.
No commercial vehicle can be
operated on Maine highways on a
dealers registration unless such We
hicle is being used purely for dem
onstration purposes or in case of a
bona fide emergency, and no out-of-
the-state dealers plates attached to
a commercial vehicle in Maine will
comply with the law.
The neutral zone" between Maine
and New Hampshire in so far as it
relates to commercial vehicles is
also abolished. Under the old law
persons living in New Hampshire, Is
miles from the border line. have
been allowed to operate motor We
hicles on the highways of the State
of Maine. distant not more than 10
miles from the state line, upon the
payment Of an annual registration
fee of 81. This still applies to pleas
ure cars but does no longer apply
to commercial vehicles.
Maine also has a new schedule of
fees for the registration of CONNER
cial vehicles as well as for the reg
istration of pleasure cars. The
truck schedule is based on carrying
capacity, and the fees for tractors
are based upon the horsepower and
weight. Fees for trailers are on a
weight basis. Fees for pleasure cars
are based on the horsepower and
the weight of the car.
The new schedule for commercial
vehicles is as follows:
Trucks Equipped With Pneumatic
Tires
One thousand pounds or less. $1,000
Over one thousand pounds and
not over one ton ........ 1900
Over one ton and not over two
tons 1000
Over two tons and not over
three tons ................ $500
Over three tons and not over
four tons 5000
Over four tons ........... 1000
For trucks equipped with two or
more solid tires the registration fee
is SO 1-3 per cent. additional. Solid
tires are defined as tires of rubber
or other material that do not depend
on confined air for the support of
the load.
The schedule of fees for Stractors
is as follows:
Pneumatic tires Csc per H. P. plus
25c per hundred weight.
Solid rubber tires 25c per H. p.
plus SOC per hundred weight.
Iron. steel or other hard tires CSC
per u. P. plus SOC per hundred
weight.
Tractors used for agricultural pur-
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-12-27

poses or not customarily used on
public ways pay one-tenth of the
above rates.
Caterpillar tractors pay a registra-
ton fee of $15.
Tractors not used for hauling or
carrying loads on the highways are
exempt from registration and Ii
cense.
Schedule of fees for trailers is as
follows:
Pneumatic tires 15c per hundred
pounds gross weight
Solid tires 40c per hundred gross
weight.
Iron, steel or other hard tires 75c
per hundred gross weight.
Persons not living in Maine but
desiring to operate commercial vehi-
cles on it's highways may secure a
5-day registration fee upon the pay
ment of one-fourth of the regular
fee, or a ten-day registration upon
the payment of third of the reg
ular fee. Tbs 5-day registration
permits the operation of the vehicle
, on the highways of the state five
days in the aggregate in any one
season, and likewise the ten days
registration permits the operation of
the motor vehicle ten days in the
aggregate in any one season. The
short term registration may be eX-
changed at any time for an annual
registration upon the payment of
the difference in the fee. There is,
however, no provision in the law
for exchanging a 5-day for a To-day
registration.
Applications for registration may
be made under oath to the secretary
of state, and no out-of-state COM
mercial vehicle is legally upon the
highways of the State of Maine I'M
less it has the Maine plates attached
to it.

Fish and Game Violations

Among the recent cases of viola ton
of the inland fisheries and game laws
reported to the department was the
following:
Harvey Clough of Dayton, for
Transporting a deer out of the State
during November, 1921. paid fine of
$50 to the officer Special Warden NJ.
H. Hodgdon of Farmingdale.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1921-12-27

the questions can be pretty generally
determined by the answers.
O With population of, in round
numbers 100000, the appropriation of
the State of Maine from both state
and local funds for the fiscal period
ending June 80. 1922, is $150,00O. This
is exclusive of expenditures for ad-
ministration.
CD This sum is not adequate.
60 1t will be at least 25 per cent
short.
ca The average grant per family
in this state is $1,000 per month.
60 The grant is adequate.
Co The grant is supposed to make
up the difference between the family
income and actual need. \ standard
schedule is not used for determining
the items of food, clothing, etc. Our
experience has been that while such
schedules are of assistance in deter
mining the amount of aid needed,
the capabilities of the family, the
possibility of raising some of their
own food where they live on small
farms and the different market con-
ditions make the amount of aid a
question of good judgment and com
mon sense, rather than theoretical
figuring.
| G. & s. We should be reluctant to
express an opinion as a theoretically
correct average grant per child. At
the present time our average grant
per family is $4,000 Per month and
the average family Las 3 and 1-3
children.
| CD The law was changed in 1919
SO as to eliminate any definite limita-
ton upon the grant rer family and
the amount needed in each individual
instance is determined by the COM
bined judgment of the state and local
boards. This change is a vast i'm
provement.
| Go) We have no Juvenile courts
in Maine but the number of children
in mothers aid cases brought before
the courts for juvenile delinquency is
pretty much negligible factor.
GD There are no figures show
ing the relative number of de-
pendent children in institutions be-
fore and after the operation of the
mothers aid law that would be of
any value in showing the effect of the
law.
| G2) We feel that the law is adj
ministered with reasonable efficiency.
The employees of the State Board are
appointed upon a merit basis. Mem
bers of local boards are generally
| elective officials. In towns which are
large enough to employ a salaried
agent of the local board, the agent is
usually chosen for her efficiency, al
though not under any civil service
| law. Supervision in some cases is
very close and adequate and others
very lax. The State Board does not
feXpect to closely supervise the fam
! lily through its own employees, but it
aims to see them about twice a year.
1t expects the local boards to average
a visit once a month, but the in
struction given by the State Board
to the local board is general-to be
governed in all cases by the circum-
stances surrounding the family.
| 13) 1t is our belief that the ad-
ministration of the law has tended to
considerably raise the standard of
poor relief.
GG In our opinion the law is eff
I fective and is working out beneficial
~ for the families assisted. The ex-
tent of its benefit to the State can not
be determined until we know whether
the next generation retains the self
respect and reluctance of the present
generation to be dependent upon pub
lie charity.
