The Maine Automobile associa-
ton, which exerts powerful inf1u-
ence in the making of automobile
Iegislation,at it's meeting in AugusA
ia recently, suggested the following
new laws: Adoption of the pro-
posed fright of way law, which
gives the car on the right at street
intersections the right of way. A
law requiring the reporting of acct
dents by those who were involved
in them. A provision requiring the
examination of applicants for opera
tors licenses by actual demonstra-
ton. A full reciprocal law which
should allow Maine to give visitors
to the State the same period of time
to remain within her borders that
the state from which the visitor
comes gives Maine. The repeating
of the law requiring vehicles used
for hire to pay double fee. The
putting into effect of some kind Of
legislation which would guarantee a
more uniform system in connection
with the use of headlights, in con-
nection with other states. A better
regulation in the placing of silent
policemen. A tightening up in the
laws relating to reckless driving.

to this, an attempt will be made to en-
large the present strainer bed.
Realizing that immediate action is
necessary, I have opened wide the
gate valve controlling the flow of
water into the receiving well, thus
raising the water above the crack in
the well wall and creating a pressure
outward, eliminating the possibility of
an influx of river water. The operator
has been instructed to SO maintain it.

lization, has been recommended, and
these two safeguards will guarantee a

of lack of frost and inclement weather,
and would perhaps be the only course,
as the rapid infiltration from the river,
coupled with the freezing, would con-

The proposed gasoline tax, one
cent being suggested, is gaining
some friends The theory on which
the tax is based is that those who
use the highways should pay larg-
er proportion of the cost of main
tanning them Under the present
fiat tax on automobiles. this is not
so. The man who drives but a few
hundred miles year pays as much,
in proportion to the size of his car,
as the driver who is on the road
continually, while the out-OfState
car, here not long enough to neces-
state a State license, makes no con-
tribution to road maintenance. In
New Hampshire the Farm Bureaus
are solidly behind proposed gaso-
line tax for that state. The gaso-
line tax may not lessen the tax now
paid by automobile owners, as there
is constantly increasing demand
for money for road maintenance, but
it may provide sufficient additional
revenue without increasing the bur-
den automobile owners beyond the
slight additional cost for gasoline.
The Maine Automobile association,
however, is opposed to the gasoline
tax, and favors new bond issue to
provide additional funds. 1t is a
pretty safe guess that the matter
will be before the coming State leg
islature. The question of the con-
stitutionaIity of the tax may be
raised.
