NEW YORK, May 21-The finan-

the question asked by Garrett Smith
in an article In the current issue of
"Leslie's Magazine"
The writer reaches the conclusion
that while there has been increased
agitation and legislative activity on
the subject Of tobacco following the
success Of the. drive for prohibition
of liquor the efforts Of reformers
seeking to abolish tobacco have no
general support. This opinion Is
based largely on the results OF q
QUESTIONABLE on the subject sent
out to newspaper editors of the
country by the Press Service Com
pany Of New York City.
The questions asked in the ques-
tionnaire to the newspaper editors
were:
(1) Do you favor the enactment
of laws prohibiting the personal use
Of tobacco by adults?
(2) In your judgment does the
general sentiment Of your commu-
nifty favor such legislation
(3) Is the use OF tobacco per
sonally Objectionable to you?
No arguments accompanied the
questions and from their form It
was impossible for any editor 10
determine the attitude Of those
seeking the information.
Out Of 1858 editors questioned,
7.s47 replied according to the sum-
mary given. These editors represent
a combined circulation OF 21,S7O,-

interest in anti-tobacco legislation.

Public Utilities Hearing
Bath State Ferry Rates

An interesting hearing was held
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion Monday morning on the petition
OF citizens of Bath asking for a re-
duction Of rates on the Bath State
ferry. plying between the city of Bath
and the town of Woolwich
The petitioners ask particularly for
a reduction in the rates for automo-
biles for the round trip, part of their
requests being as follows; One horse
team, hack or passenger team, motor
cycle with side car, yoke of oxen and
driver, 10 round trips, from $3.50 to
$500; two-horse team and driver, 10
round trips, $3.50 to- S4.25; passenger
automobile or light truck, (not ex-
ceeding with load 1000 pounds), 10
round trips, 81 to So; automobile
truck (heavy. over 1000 pounds with
load). 10 round trips, s12. The petit
ton also asks that the tickets be un-
limited as to time and mont transfer
able.
l.. d. Fuller. secretary of the Bath
Chamber Of Commerce, who conduct
ed the case for the petitioners, said
a
of contention even before the State
took over the ferry. The automobile
business, said Mr.. Fuller. has in
| creased to such proportions. from the
passage over the ferry of 5000 auto
mobiles in 1913 to $4,000 in 1918, that
the people of Bath and Woolwich
could not afford the proper facilities
for the operation of the ferry, so on
Jan I, 1920. the State took control of
1T. Last year approximately $4,000
automobiles were transported over
this ferry. A new schedule of rates
went into effect on the first of this
year.
ut was generally understood" said
| Mr.. Fuller. that when the State
| took over the ferry that the fares
would not be increased. We contend
! that the wholesale user of the ferry
| is entitled to lower rate than those
who use the ferry but once or twice
a year.

at work on the fire that started on

ran into Township AZ in Washington

will be about $4,000.

ST ATE HOUSE
meeting Gill; Friday, H. A. M,


Several of the newspapers of the
State have referred to the detour Sit
uation that now exists in Maine. In
view of an Order of the Governor and
Council passed March 23rd, 1921, it
has been enormously assumed by
some persons that the Governor and
Council took over and became respon-
sible for the detours around the work
that is now being done on State
Highways. The responsibility for de-
tours rests directly upon the Highway
Commission, and for the first time
since Names road program was COM
menced a definite policy has been
fixed as to just what shall be done on
these detours.
The general law provides that if an
emergency arises the Governor and
Council may make regulations gov
erning this question, and accordingly
by the Council Order above referred
", anu dlttI CClilSI cIiee DclWGSu lIlC
State Highway Commission and the
Council, it is ordered that the follow
ing policy shall "be pursued by the
Highway Commission with respect to
the laying out, repairing and care of
detours around State Highways"
First: Where a detour is to be laid
out over any public way" the expense
shall be borne equally by the town in
which the highway is located and the
State.
Second Where "it is necessary to
open a new piece of road or tempo
rary road alongside of the highway
under construction" the expense is
to be borne by the state.
Third: That "detours shall be under
the care of patrolmen who shall be
employed by and at the discretion of
the Highway Commission"
Fourth: That mo State Highway
shall be built in any town which will
not enter into written agreement
with the State Highway Commission
Tor putting detours into suitable con-
dition and for their constant care in
