longer journeys to the waters to the
East and North.
In order that there always may be
good fishing in Sebago lake the Gov
ernor has arranged to have large
amount of Canadian salmon placed
IN the lake early this fall. as soon as
shipment can be made in cool
weather, and it is expected that these
salmon will grow rapidly and will
become large and gamey fish. If the
experiment is successful Canadian
salmon will be placed in other lakes
in Maine
In addition to this several new
wells are being drilled to supply cool
water to the Raymond fish hatchery
as this improvement was much need
ed owing to the fact that during the
present summer months the water
was too warm for the salmon fry
These improvements in Sebago lake
VIII mean much to the thousands OF
fishermen and summer visitors who
frequent its shore.

Island Park to
Remain Open

For seasons past all summer re-
sorts have been following the usual
custom of closing up tight on Labor
Day as that is the time when all OF
the summer visitors wend their way
homeward, but this summer being a
little bit backward a big month is
looked for during September, this be-
ing the most beautiful month of all
the year.
So through numerous requests and
inquiries the management of Island
Park have listened to the Glamour of
the people, and have come to the de-
cision to keep the Dance Pavilion at
this most popular resort open until
Saturday September II, arrange
ments having been made with Mey-
ers and his Jazz fiends to stay over.
If this innovation proves to be what
the dancing public have been crying
for there is a possibility of running
up to Oct. 1, which wholly remains
up to the people of Augusta and sur
rounding towns. Dance nights will
continue as before Monday, Wednes-
day, Friday and Saturday with dan
cling from S to 12.-Adv.

"A Daughter Of
the Law" Featuring
Carmel Meyers

Most of the people who have seen
Carmel Meyers in "A Daughter of
the Law" wonder why this Universal
masterpiece was not issued as a
special" because it ranks with
most of those so styled. 1t is one of
those crook" plays that is so full of
pep and zip that the tension becomes
acute. Thrills and thrilling situa-
tons follow each other in such rapid
succession that it seems a series of
comedy, drama and tragedy in almost
endless confusion, but which come
out of all the tangle and excitement
in a perfectly balanced story. A
sister attempts to save her younger
brother from himself after he has
left home and joined a band of
crooks and her battles with the po-
lice and the gang are excitement
personfied. But all ends well. the
brother being saved and the sis
ter's happiness restored.-Adv.

Appeals on Both Sides in
Cassidy Inheritance Tax

Appeals have been entered in the
probate court in the case of the in
heritance tax on the estate of the late
John Cassidy. In one case the at
torney general of the State started
assistant attorney general and in the
other instance an appeal has been
filed by Mrs. Lucille Cassidy O'Brien,
a daughter of the deceased John
Cassidy. A hearing will be held
later.
The State contends that it is pos
sible to assess the tax upon the re-
mainder of the property at this time
! The attorney generals appeal
from the decision of the judge OF
probate cites that it was decreed
that the person or persons to whom
the balance of said estate descends
cannot be ascertained. therefore no
further tax is assessable at this
time"
The attorney general claims that:
! !. 1t is not i'm possible to assess a
tax upon the remainder of said prop
erty at this time.
termine absolutely who are the per-
sons who will take the remainder OF
said estate in order to determine the
amount of the tax to be paid upon
said remainder.
g. That by provisions of section
of chapter 50 of the Revised Statutes
the tax upon the life estates and the
remainder shall be assessed at the
same time, and by provisions of sec
tons and 5 of said chapter 50 of
the Revised Statutes, an assessment
of inheritance may be made upon the
basis Of a compromise with the at
torney general in all cases where at
is impossible to compute the present
value of any interest, by reason of
such interest being conditioned upon
the happening of contingency or
dependent upon the exercise of a
power of appointment or other
wise"
4. The person or persons to whom
balance of said estate descends can
be ascertained for purposes of assess
ing tax and it was the duty of the
judge of probate at that time to as
SeSS Such tax.
The appeal Of Lucille Cassidy
O'Brien states that it was decreed
that the actual market value of the
property of said descendants and the
taxable share therein, as of the date
of death of deceas ed, passing by will
of descendent John Cassidy to said
Lucille c. OBrien, subject to the pay
ment of an inheritance or legacy tax
imposed by law was personal estate,
s161.44370: and the tax assessed to
said Lucille c. O'Brien at two per
cent was determined by said decree to
be s3o2S.S7.
The reasons for the appeal are
stated as follows:
|. Because the actual market value
of the share of the property of the
late John Cassidy as of date of death
said John Cassidy to said Lucille c.
O'Brien was less than s161, 1870 as
determined and decreed by the
probate court.
! ?. Because the actual market
value of the taxable share or inter
est of said Lucille G. O'Brien in the
property of said John Cassidy was
less than s161, 44S.70
! 3. Because the amount of the tax
should be determined in accordance
with the terms of the will of said
John Cassidy.
/ 4. Because the amount of the tax
on property passing to said Lucille c.
/ O'Brien is less than the sum of So,
02S.S7 as found by the PROBATE court.
! 5. Because the tax as assessed
against the said Lucille c. O'Brien is
incorrect and excessive.

ACTS ARE CRITICISED
Polk County Road District Auditors Find Fault With Commissioners.

Mena, Feb. 20.-Criticism against the official acts of the commissioners of the Jefferson highway is found in the report of the auditors named by County Judge H. w. Finger to pass upon the commissions work. The auditors found that an auto had been bought from the Ford agency here, one of the commissioners being a member of the company selling the cars. Objection is also made to the selection as depository the bank of which another commissioner is vice president and director. The sum of $15,000 was found to have been paid to gravel company for surfacing material. The company now is in the hands of receiver. All the funds received are properly accounted for, the auditors find. A total of $156,- OO9.70 has been collected and $780, 53023 expended for highway purpos- es, according to the audit.
