TO REPAIR STREET
Eighth Avenue VIII Be Put in
Good Condition.
Street Railway Asked to Re-
move It's Tracks.

Eighth avenue will be In excellent
condition if the street railway COM
pany complies with the requirement
that the company remove the car
the track bed in as good condition as
the AUDITING pavement. The street
railway is expected to comply with
such requirements. Effort to reach
an agreement with the railway COM
pany to do SO is being made by Street
Commissioner W. S. Hancock
81 believe the company will agree
to put the street in first class, condi-
ton in a short time" Hancock said
today. According to their franchise
they must place the part of the street
used for car tracks in as good 1condi-
ton as the abutting pavement if the
car line is abandoned. The abutting
pavement is of good asphalt and I
think 1t is up to the railway company
to make the roadbed correspond to
the remainder of the street. The cost
should be paid by the company en-
tirely. When the company removed
car tracks from Seventh street from
jackson to Kansas avenue they placed
the street in excellent condition at n
cost of $4,000 with additional expense
OF $500 for workmen from our street
department"
Want Car Track Removed.
Residents of West Eighth avenue
have been anxious to have the car
tracks removed from the street in
front of their property. Motorists on
that avenue are inconvenienced great
" by the roughness of the old car
tracks and the brick bed for the track
coming between the strips of asphalt.
Mayor Corwine stated at the time
the public utilities commission gave
the opinion ALLOWING the line to be
abandoned that the city would de-
mand Immediately that the tracks be
removed. He has made no further
statements in the matter.
Albert Patten of the street railway
company is not in tt : city and could
not be questioned on the matter.
However, others in authority at the
railway company's offices offer as
| surance that the Eighth avenue con-
dition would be remedied shortly,
Commissioner Hancock said.

HOLIDAY TO BE TAKEN SERi-
OUSLY

The announcement that the Pres
ident will declare Armistice Day,
which is also the day on which the
conference to limit ornaments meets
is eminently fitting. That the OBJ
scrvance OF it should not only be
general but likewise of a serious ma
ture in some degree at least would
also seem fitting. A feature of the
observance will be commemoration
of the burial in the Arlington Gem
etery Of the body of an unknown SOL
der.
1t is said the President desires the
country to devote itself prayerfully
TO the ends sought in calling the con-
ference. Reports indicate a general
lack of prayerful consideration of
the Importance of this conference.
The country showed it's sentiment on
the day Of the Arnistice; has it for
gotten the significance of the an
nOuncement that the most horrible
of all wars had come to an end; that
the boys might return home and the
world might return to it's normal
condition: Not all the boys returned
and the old world is a long way yet
from where it was in 1914. 1t is be-
rytn do ill
never again be the same: that it is
shaping into the world of the future
and not reverting to the world of the
past. Some are beginning to see how
essential to the happiness of that flu
ture state will be the nature of the
shaping process now going on, and
Of which this approaching conference
is sure to be an important factor
either for good or for i'll,
Among this number is Senator I'm
derwood, chosen as one of our rep
resentatives. His Democratic par
tisanship none may question; he
stood by Wilson and the Versailles
Treaty against his own judgment
but he now comes squarely to the
support of this conference, placing
his Americanism and his intelligence
above the demands of political ex-
igency. 1t is such as he in all polit-
ical parties who, when matters out
side the three mile limit come up for
consideration, think of the United
States and not of party. That is
what has made and will make Uncle
Sam a powerful influence. That Is
what is needed in this conference
and it also is needed that they shall
make their attitude known. Make II
pronounced, emphatic. and don't
wait until Armistice Day to do 1t.

forcernent of. the automobile laws
was wise move and 1t has resulted
already in a marked Improvement
in the way in which automobiles are
being operated in Maine. III. A.
Shorey, who Sin charge of this bu-
reau, has selected excellent men to
assist him in enforcing the automo-.
bile laws, and in the few months they
have been at work they have ordered
large number of drivers into court
and secured the conviction of great
many of them. The falling off in the
number of automobile accidents in
this part of-Maine has been notice..
able since the state highway police
began their. work. Much remains to
be done along this line but excellent
progress has already been made. The
new bureau has more than demon
strated it's value and has contributed
a great deal toward making auto
mobile driving much safer than it
was last season.

despatched by Mr. Shorey to Aroos-
laws were more honored in the
breAch than IN the observance. Inc
arrest and conviction of 10 men in
that section for operating cars while
under the influence of liquor will go
a long ways towards lettering men
from reckless driving over the roads
of Aroostook county when they have
been drinking. Liquor is more read
lily obtained in that part of Maine
than elsewhere because at is nearer
the Canadian border and there have
been a great many bad accidents
there on this account. Tile trial JUS
tees throughout the state are now
commencing to take the automobile
laws seriously and to help in their
enforcement, so that a marked i'm
provement in the way in which they
are observed is being noted
