Appropriation Exhausted
Care of Neglected Children

The appropriation made by the
1921 Legislature (80th) for the board
and care of neglected children mas
proved insufficient to provide for the
children already committed to the
custody of the state Board of Chill

therefore. been obliged to send the
following letter TO all probate and
municipal courts and munlclpal
boards of child guardianship, under
date of July 6, 1921 and signed by
James +. Bagley, secretary:
The appropriation made by the
LEGISLATURE for the board and care of

Children's Guardians having proved
insufficient for the care of the chill
dren already committed and the Gov

lied the mourning of any liability to
be paid from the State contingent

Board OF Charities and Corrections.
in its capacity a a State Board of

that the State Board will hereafter
be able to accept custody of children
only as and when sufficient num-
Der of children now in its custody
have been restored to their proper
place in the community, where they
may be cared for without being pub
lie charges. so that other children
may be provided for without exceed
ing the available funds.
IF, from time to time as occasion
arises. YOU will inform this board in
writing, at it's office at Augusta. as
to the need for such commitments,
we will arrange for their care in the
order in which the application is
f1led-provided that no other suitable

Obnoxious Whistling at

Chapter 16 OF the Public Laws OF
1921. which will go into effect on
July 8, requires the ringing of bells
and blowing Of whistles by all loco
motives at all s.ade crossings. Inc
Maine Central Railroad. under the
misapprehenSion that the law went
into effect 80 days from its passage
instead of 80 days from adjourn
ment of the Legislature, about June
10 began the whiStling program,
bringing a storm Of protest, on ac-
count of the unceasing noise III
thickly settled portions of towns and
cities where the street crossings are
MANY. Informal con plants were
also filed with the Public Utilities
Commission, but no action was tax
en-. because the railroad, finding that
it was a month ahead of time IN
obeying the new law, suspended the
order.
The law also contains provision
that upon petition of the corpora
ton, the municipal officers or III
legal voters of any city or town the
Public Utilities Commission may or
der the new signals discontinued IN
any place.
The commission has notified those
making the informal complaints UNI
der the first attempt at the new
warning signals, that if they VIII
make complaint to the commission
after the law goes into effect, the
commission will give consideration to
each and if a nuisance is shown, Will
remedy it. So that it may be that IN
a short time the objectional whls-
Ting places will be eliminated. 1t is
of course understood that the COM
mission would not and will not sus
pend The signals in any place or at
any crossing where public safety re-
ouires their use.

tuberculosis Eradication

DR. J. B. Reidy, the United States
inspector in charge OF the tuber-
culosis work in Maine. in cocoera-
ton with DR.. VIM. H. Lynch the
livestock sanitary commissioners
says:
The United States Department of
Agriculture has paid to livestock
owners in the state of Maine during
the fiscal year ending June 80. an
proXimatelv $4,000. as part payment
to farmers to replace cattle con-
demned on account of being infected
with tuberculosis.
The replacing of such diseased
animals on the farm by healthy ones
is fundamentally sound principle
in farm economy and a good safe
guard to the public health in gen.
eral. because much of the tubercu-
losis in children is traceable to bo-

The Governor ENJOYED Il

Governor Baxter on Friday thor
oughly enjoyed testing out new
lawn roller coaster" the invention
of Eden W. Hanks of Augusta. the
machine being placed for the occasion
on the south lawn at the Blaine man
sion.
The machine is made with a base,
upon which the seats run back and
forth on trucks. with an upward and
downward motion, something like the
ordinary roller coaster, but still en-
tirely different. The motion impaired
is very pleasant and while the Gov
ernor at once said that it would be n
great thing for the children. after
trying it he added that older people
would also be captivated with it.
The Governor suggested several
minor changes, which Mr. Hanks at
once adopted, in idea. and after a good
coast obligingly posed in the ma
chine. Norman, the photographer.

the same purpose.
