Bueksport Center Station Case

A decision has been rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission dismiss
ing the complaint of Joshua Treat,
Jr, and others alleging that the clos
ing of the station Of the Maine Cen
trail Railroad at Bucksport Center
would result in great incon-
venience to the public.
at was the concensus Of opinion
and agreed to by the persons present
at this meeting that the arrangement
proposed by the company of installing
a care taker instead of an agent at
this station should be tried out for a
reasonable length of time, and that
the commission would be notified II
such an arrangement was not salts
factory to the compliments and other
patrons Of this station. The new plan
has now been in effect for nearly a
year, and the commission has re-
ceived no further complaint of the
service rendered. It therefore con-
cludes that no further cause of COM
plant exists at the present time"

Vast and Increasing Work
OF Maine State Treasury

Did you realize that a vast amount
OF money passes through the State of
Maine treasury in the course of a
year? State Treasurer William l..
Bonney, asked as to the amount, re-
piled:
you are right in saying a large
amount passes through the hands of
this depa rtment's force. We paid out
during each of the months of Sep
TENDER and October over $500, 900
and nearly g much for each month
all summer long. For the last three
months, the Highway Commission has
disbursed about one half of the total.
That means that all summer long and
during October and November be-
tween 5000 and 5000 checks went
through this office.
"Now that the Highway Commits
sons work is easing up on account
OF the weather and season, the work
in our Office Is also easing and the
relief from the strain of the summer
and fall is great.
II have never believed that the
proper flscharee OF MS consttullohai
and lawful duties on the part of a
public official constituted news
item. or that the performance of his
routine tasks on the part of the head
Of a department deserved space in a
newspaper. I do however, in this
connection, wish to emphasize the eff
ficiency. loyalty and industry of the

Sundays included, when some part of
the force has not worked out of office
hours to get this work done. If we
had time and a half rule for over
time. they would all have n good bit
Of spending money for Christmas.
"This is the reason why the States
bills have been paid promptly and
the necessary Office routine been
maintained"
