COMMITTEE MEETING ON
GOOD ROADS DISCLOSES
VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS

Mayor 5. l.. Fogg and the city
government committee on highways
and sewers met Thursday evening in
joint session with the Chamber of
Commerce committee on good roads.
The result was a free interchange of
ideas that was very gratifying and
considerable progress was made to-
wards a solution of the good roads
problem. Chief Engineer Paul Sar-
gent Of the State Highway Depart
ment, particularly, offered many val
liable suggestions that were appre-
ciated by all present.
1t would seem that with good
management the city should be able
to expend in permanent construc-
ton approximately $4,000 a year in
the so-called feeders" which mean
so much to the trade of the city.
Thus in three years the goal. set by
the Chamber of Commerce could be
easily reached. With u definite
plan covering q series of years Au-
gusta with its present outlay should
be able to have good roads in all
directions. improvements in the &C
counting system were suggested with

the idea of making data Of use to the
city and others available.
The mayor expressed himself as
favoring a definite plan of mainten-
ance and he spoke most heartily in
favor of efficient management and
the use of proper equipment. Chair
man Brooks stated that his commit
tee stood ready to cooperate in any
way possible, with suggestions or
with the use of their time, to carry
out program of good roads He
proposed that complaints should not
be made in the. form of knocks to
visitors and among ourselves, but
that those having a complaint should
make it direct to the proper author

gusta can have splendid roads that

The nresent representation of SEN

IT will be seen, therefore. that the
change in apportionment of senators
would give to those counties now
having but one member of the upper
branch of the Legislature two mem
beers. All other counties would have
the same representation as at pres
ent.
If this plan be adopted by the
Legislature and afterward by the
people. but seven states in the Union
will have a. larger proportion OF
Senate membership to the House
than Maine.
, The plan is in accord with the in
creased number of voters in the State
due to the granting of suffrage to
the women and. it is thought, Will
more nearly equaliZe the balance OF
power in the State.
The joint select committee on re-
tlistricting and reapportionmeht has
the following members:
