U. of Me. Students Petitions

The following petition, signed By
David w. Hoyt and 644 other under
| graduates of the University of Maine
/ and asking for an adequate appropria
tion for the University, was presented
in the House Monday by Gardner Of
, Gardiner:
| To the Honorable Governor, Eenss
and House of Representatives in Legs.
lative Session Assembled:
Realizing that the disposition of the
University of Maine resolve for defcit.
maintenance and new buildings at
your hands vitality affects the under.
| graduates of the University, and real.
way to cripple the University, but on
| the other hand to give such broad and
liberal support as is consistent with
the finances of the State;
We, the undersigned students. n
specially petition you to grant an ap
preparation which shall be adequate
for the continuance of the present high
standard of the University as part Of
the states educational system.
We call your attention to the fact
: that only two or three state universi.
| ties in the country founded, as in case
of the University of Maine, under the
Morrill, Acts, charge a greater tuition,
and that to further increase our al.
ready high tuition to make up for an
inadequate appropriation will work
hardship upon those of us privileged
to return.
No one realizes more fully than N
the urgent need of repairs and upkeep
OF the campus buildings. We believe
that the appropriation should include
an amount sufficient to place the Uni.
versity plant in a condition compar.
able, at least, with that of the average
High school in Maine.
Maine was our choice of a Univer.
sity. We are proud of it. We are
thankful, too. for the opportunity
given us by the State of Maine to Sc
cure a college education. Hear our
plea and grant an adequate appropra.
ton in order that our present oppor.
tunity may at least be continued.

Pollution o this efty's water supply. 1 alleged to have been occasioned through the wood cutting operations of Ignatius '. Murphy and Walter ", Lang on the reservoir watersheds, has been made the ground for a new count that has recent 1y been filed in the $20,0e0 suit brought by the city against MT. Murphy and Mir. Lang
 The complaint reads as follows:
 As result of and following the acts and operations of the said Murphy and
 Lang after the contract marked Exhibit A had been signed and delivered, the plaintiffs water supply has by the treas ury department. bureau of public health
 service of the United States, and by the commissioner of public health for the state of Connecticut, been condemned as
 uHft to drink and containing coli bacilli, l a highly dangerous clement to degree making it unfit and unsafe for domestic use.
 By reason of said contamination by | the acts of the said Murphy and Lang
 as herein set forth the plaintiff is com
 pelled to expend large sum of money, {, to wit s20,0o0 in chlorinating said water and in the building of a chlorinating l plant in order that said water may be
 safe and fit for domestic use''
 | Asked about the situation with regard 1 to the city water, Mayor H. M. Lerou | said that the city had been ordered by I the state department of health to have lchlorinating plants installed at Fairview and Stony Brook kNreservoirs by the first of June because of the pollution of the
 water with coli bacilli, which is the ty- Ipheid germ. Mayor Lerou declared, how I ever, that the present situation is not one to cause alarm now, but it is only by i good luck. apparently, that the city has come through the past year without an outbreak of typhoid for last April the water was in much worse state than
 it is now.
 At that time the federal government
 health department took samples and . made tests of the city water. but the de partment moved with such celerity thai 1t was only about six weeks ago that tht results of their investigations got bacl fhere. This appeared when notices were posted over the faucet at the New Ha ven railroad station, warning the public against using the water, as it had beer condemned by the U. s. health service. . For the last month or six weeks, sait the mayor, samples of the water hav' been taken every three days, and as g re , suit of the tests that have been mad Dr. J. T.

CHARGE POLLUTION OF CITY WATER TO
 RESERVOIRWOOD CUTTING OPERATIONS

of the pollution of the water and offered te hold a hearing, but the city authori- ties waived the matter of the hearing in order to expedite the means for remedy ing the situation The chlorinating plant for treating the Water from Stony Brook will be located at the meter house on the pipe linenfrom that reservoir but the plant at Fairview will be directly at the reservoir. Each will have to be set up in duplicate. so that in case there is a breakdown there shall be no interruption of the treatment of the water. It is estimated the cost will be S5,O0o.
 The chlorine treatment is applied as the water passes from the reservoir into the big supply mains and has no effect upon the taste or color of the water but renders the typhoid germs harmless.
 According to Dr. Black, chiorinating plants will sooner or later probably be insisted upon for all water supplies in the state as health authorities consider 1t a very wise precaution that municipalities should so protect the purity of their wa ter supplies.

 amounted to over 66O,000 board feet O |, white oak, red oak, black and yelloy birch and ash, and over 800 cords of cor
 wood, all of the value of over s7,5on. It is also charged that the defendant sold over S10,000 worth of cord wood poles, ties, sawed timber, posts and othe lumber, for which they have failed to at count. It is further alleged that stable for the horses, latrines for the workmeI
 and big piles of sawdust were kept Q the reservoir watersheds, resulting i
 the pollution of the water, and that tn city has been obliged to spend $5,0O0 cleaning the watersheds and s1.000 fo
 special and technical aid in this line. It is alleged that 23 oak trees, tn property of the city, were removed frol the Fairview watershed and that 164 ca , trees, one butternut, six white oak an three~hirch were removed from the Ston , brook watershed.

DIRECTOR JENKINS SPEAKS
 ON FERTILIZER sITUAI

Information has recently been received from Director Jenkins of the New Ha- ven Experiment Station that certain prac- tices are being carried out through the state of Connecticut that farmers and any others using fertilizer should be aware of The following is copy of the bulletin of information which was re- gently released;
 "The attention of purchasers of fer tilizers is called to the following facts.
 It is reported that agents of a cor poration are endeavoring to secure sell ing agents in various parts of this state who are to pay the corporation one thous- and dollars for this opportunity and who will receive commissions from their sales.
 Farmers are offered fertilizers at a price 20 per cent. lower than can be ob- tained from any other source and to be paid on the usual terms, but each pnr- chaser, with a part of this 20 per cent. saving in purchase, must buy, stock in the corporation in blocks of s10O, receiy- ing therefor eight shares of preferred and four of common stock. He pay2 s20 or more at once to bind the bargainl This is a combination of stock jotbing and fertilizer purchase. The station feels 1t necessary to call attention to these facts and to remind farmers that there is l large number of brokers and manufac- turers of established reputation who have ] done business in this state for years and from whom fertilizers can be bought at fair and competitive prices without the need of stock speculation in e9i.nec-
 ton with the purchase. It must also be
 remembered that purchase of stock makes the holder liable for an assess
 ment to the par yalne D; the stock in
 case the corporation fails in business. | There is always opportunity to invest in the stock of fertilizer compan:as with esta ablisked business and reputation. if anyone considers it a profitable invest ment, after careful study of sheir fDar- cial status but to buy fertilizer with a
 string of stock attached involving scri-
 ous responsibility Is more than unwise- l if is foolish
