Industrial Accidents

The INDUSTRIAL Accidents Com
mission has rendered the following
decisions:
In the case of Fred Thibodeau of
Augusta VS.. the Cushnoc Paper Co.
and the American Mutual Liability
Insurance Co., awarding compensa-
ton.
The petition states the while work
ing as a machinist in the employ OF
the Cushnoc Paper Co. at Augusta
July 81, 1920, he was putting a
spring in an automobile and the jack
fell over, letting the machine fall on
his left knee which resulted in a
sprain of the left ankle.
In the case of Thomas McElwee
of Portland, vs. the Smith G. Rumery
Co. and the American Mutual Liabil-
ity Insurance Co, insurers, award
ing compensation. The petition al
leges permanent impairment to the
usefulness of the left thumb, the
end having been cut off. The ter
minal joint is also stiffened. After a
careful examination by the commits
sion and from the evidence presented,
it is found that Mr.. McElwee has suf-
fered a permanent impairment to the
usefulness of his left thumb amount
ing to 80 per cent
In the case of Robert H. Robert
son of South Portland VS.. the Cum
berland Shipbuilding Co. and the
Liberty Mutual Insurance Co.,
awarding compensation.
The decision states that the petit
ton. as amended alleges permanent
/ impairment to the usefulness of the
left leg and the left wrist From the
testimony of the petitioners own
physician it is evident that it is i'm
possible to determine at the present
time whether the left wrist has suf-
fered permanent impairment or not.
The commission therefore dismisses
that part of the petition without
prejudice, in order that another ne
ttlon covering permanent impair
ment to the usefulness of the injured
wrist may be filed later if the facts
warrant
After a careful examination of the
left leg by the commission and from
the evidence presented it is found
that Mr.. Robertson has suffered a
permanent impairment to it's useful
ness amounting to so per cent.

New Hunting Laws

Warning was issued Wednesday
by the Department Of Inland Fish
cries and Game as to the necessity of
hunters always carrying their hunt
ing licenses while hunting or hay-
ing firearms in possession in the
fields or forests or on the waters or
ice of the State. Under the law the
possession of firearms by an I'M
licensed person while in the fields or
forests on on the water or ice is
prlma facie evidence of hunting
without a license, and trouble will
be avoided if hunters will take the
precaution to see that their hunting
license is in their pocket before
starting out for the days shooting.
The deer season this year is slight
ly changed. In six of the northern
counties, Oxford, Franklin, Somer-
set Penobscot, Piscataquis and
Aroostook the open season is during
October and November as formerly.
IN Washington and Hancock coun-
HES, the open season on deer to res
idents and non-residents is from
Oct. Is to Nov 80 inclusive. Resi-
dents of Hancock and Washington
counties may also hunt deer in these
two counties from Dec. to Dec. IA
inclusive. This change in the Wash
ington and Hancock county deer law
was made on the request of resi-
dents of these two counties in order
that they might have an opportunity
to participate in deer hunting which
they cannot by reason of their work
enjoy earlier in the season.
The Department of Inland Fisher
les and Game is calling attention to
the provisions of the "semi-b buck
law" so called. The law now pro-
vides that one of the quota of two
deer must be buck with antlers, In
other words, if a hunter secures
spike horn or a doe. the other deer
of his quota must be a buck with
antlers. The hunter may kill a doe
and a buck with antlers, or spike
horn and a buck with antlers or two
bucks with antlers.

Real Estate Valuation
Is Higher in Our State

Real estate valuation in Maine is
still on the increase. while valuation
of personal property, especially live
stock in rural districts, is decreasing,
according to Clement S. Stetson of
Greene. chairman of the State Board
of Assessors, now in annual confer
ence with Cumberland county asses
sors in this city, says the Portland
Press. Real estate valuation is in
creaSing in particularly long strides
in Cumberland county says that
State chairman. But live stock, due
to the shortage and high price of
hay, does not list the valuation of the
past years. However, the real estate
increase greatly offsets the live stock
and personal property decrease. and
results in a greater total valuation
for the State in 1922.
These findings are made by the
state board after comparison of CON-
ferences such as is taking place in
Portland this week, when the assess

Must Identify Game

This year for the first time all
hunters who are transporting any
game by motor vehicle or private
conveyance must identify the same
before an inspector detailed by the
Department of Inland Fisheries and
Game for that purpose. During the
past two years this requirement has
applied only to non-residents.
In order to convenience hunters,
the Department of Inland Fisheries
and Game has appointed every town
clerk in the state a special identifi-
cation agent and equipped him with
a supply of official Identification tags
"a green tag for resident shipments
and a yellow tag to be attached to
game being transported by non-res-
idents.
This automobile Identification" so
called, must not be confused with the
identification of game which is be-
ing shipped by express for which
regular inspection stations as in the
past will be maintained at Bangor,
