City OF Augusta which is in the

jump on them If they didn't" said
Mr.. Clarke, in talking the matter
ever.
THE Handbook gave Augusta
nearly a full page Of publicity and
was generous in its setting forth of
industrial and historical data. It is
unfortunate that such facts as that
mentioned above should be included:
they add nothing to the value of the
handbook and reflect discredit upon
the City OF Augusta and the State Of
Maine"
Right on the same point is this
matter Of featuring stories of excess
sive low temperature records which
make their appearance about this
time OF year as front page material
