Crook Play That
Spells Action

Action and plenty of it is prom
ised in "A Daughter of the Law" the
Universal feature in which Carmel
Myers will be seen at the Colonial
theatre today Action is what pa
irons of a moving picture theatre
seek, and action is what they get in
this picture.
It's a big picture in every way"
says Exhibitors Herald in its review
of the production Here is a swift
moving. logical crook play that will
raise them out of their seats. 1t has
punch and zip and go to It and is a
striking example of what excellent
results can be obtained from a plot
oft used, when an intelligent director
and a competent cast work in per-
feet harmony One tense situation
follows another so closely that you
are puzzled as to the outcome and
vastly relieved at the fade out, when
the crooks are finally placed under
arrest"
Carmel Myers gives a strong and
pleasing performance of Nora Hayes,
the daughter of a police inspector
who is trying to save her younger
brother from himself. The other
members of the cast are eminently
fitted to their roles, the photogra ply
is beautiful and the picture has the
distinction of having practically no

Maintenance of
! Highway Bridges

Hon. William f. Fisher of Augusta,
the deputy attorney general, in a de-
cision rendered Tuesday in response
to a question propounded by Paul d.
Sargent, chief engineer of the State
Highway Commission, says that
bridges, part of the cost of which
J are to be borne by the State must
! still be those located on any main
thoroughfare" under section six of
the Public Laws of 1915 as amended
by Chapter 143 of the Public Laws of
1921.
Mr.. Sargent's query is as follows:
Under Section six of Chapter 319
of the Public Laws of 1915 as amend
| ed by Chapter 143 of the Public Laws
of 1921. will the comm ssion be au-
! thorized to assist in the maintenance
; of any bridges except those under
| the provisions of Chaper 319 of the
! Public Laws of 1915 as amended. or
; is Section six general in it's scope
and under the provisions of this sec
ton can the commission assist in the
maintenance of all bridges through
out the State?
"An examination Of the original
bridges located on any main thor
oughfare' except any interstate or
| international bridge or bridges and
| it was not. therefore, general in scope
so as to include all bridges in towns
where the tax rate for CONSTRUCTS
or re construction of bridges exceed
ed in any one year the rate of five
mills" says Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Fisher in his opinion.
THE proportion of the cost to be
borne by the State was fixed by the
statute at 20 per cent with no au-
thority on the part of the commits
sioners to change or vary the pro-
portion as the facts of the case might
seem to warrant" continues the
opinion of Deputy Attorney General
Fisher.
This proposition was changed
somewhat by Chapter 140 of the Pub
! lie Laws of 1919, which related to the
construction and repair of highway
bridges. This, however, had nothing
TO do with the cost of maintenance OF
such bridges, which was governed
| entirely by Section 6 of Chapter 3l9
i of the Laws of 1915 until the amend
ment of 1921. There is nothing.
however, in the amendment to in
dictate an intention on the part of
the legislature to change or enlarge
the class of bridges coming under the
act
I'VE conclude, therefore. that I'M
der the amendment the use of the
States money is authorized only on
those bridges coming under the pro-
visions of said Chapter 319 In other
words. the fixed proportion of cost to
I be borne by the State was changed
to such a proportion as in the judg-
ment of the commission the public
interests required. but no change was
made in the class of bridges. They
must still be those located on any
main thoroughbred
