FEARLESS ADMINS ration OF ALL TRAFFIC
LAWS WILL Be POLICY OF STATE HIGHWAY
COMMISSION. 1000 CONVICTION IN SIX MONTHS

GAS long as I have anything to
do with the Maine Motor Vehicle
department. politics will never enter
into the administration of the Office
whether in determining appoint
ments or in enforcing the provisions
of the law
Such has been the attitude of Hen
ry A. Shorey, Jr., head of Names
Motor Vehicle division of the State
Highway department and such will
be his policy during the year 1922
and so long as he may continue in
office.
1t was the first of July, 1921, when
Mr.. Shorey assumed his present du-
tics. He has the supervision of the
enforcement Of all state laws re!a-
tive to travel on the highways. The
automobile inspectors and the auto
mobile police are under his care
and the force of So that he had dur
ing 1921 were decidedly on their job.
according to the figures that have
been filed.
One thousand convictions for vio-
lation Of the automobile laws were
secured and these netted the state
$4,000 in fines, although this sum

men. all of whom have been care
fully instructed in the law. have
been directed to give all the infor-
nation they can to aid the automo-
bile owner.
The average man is note4Setting
the amount of light he is entitlt d
to-" says the chief of the Motor We
hicle department. but We want him
to have it. just as much as We do
not want him to have too much"
Another phase of the work toward
which the department is striving is
uniformity of regulations dealing
with headlights. Good progress is
Icing made in this direction and the
ma iority of states seem to be getting
together on the proposition. One
thing is certain: If an automobile
conforms to the laws of Maine. it
will conform to those of Massachu-
sets or any other state, according
to the highway officials.
If proper authorization Is re-
ceived, the present number Of mo-
torcycle police patroling the roads
of the state will be increased from
II. since nearly everyone agrees that
this is far from a sufficient number
to look after the constantly increas-
ing traffic and the hundreds Of miles
of roads.

include the stretch of road between
New Gloucester and Auburn on the
Portland-Lewiston line: through
Farmingdale and Hallowell to Au-
gusta and in Augusta on Bangor
street toward Waterville. All this
will make a continuous good high
way from Portsmouth to Bangor.
Another most desirable piece OF
work that will be finished will be be-
tween Bangor and Houlton, about %
miles of construction that will give
a perfect highway from the Queen
City to the county seat of Aroostook.
The last two miles between Ban
gor and Bar Harbor will be finished.
From Richmond Corner to Rich
mond village the much desired spur
line will be constructed. Other
stretches will be six miles between
Bridgton and Fryeburg on the
Roosevelt highway; five miles be-
tween Turner and Auburn and nine
miles north of Bretton's Mills on the
road to Fryeburg.
The whole state highway system
constructed by and under the con-
tinual care of the State-will ulti-
mately consist of over 400 miles of
so-callcd state highway and state aid
highways. There are about 200
miles in the state aid system, of
which 1000 miles are improved
roads. The work for 1922 will be
more than is ordinarily done in a
season and will aggregate 80 miles.
For the third class highways
those built and maintained by cities
and towns but which are construct
ed under the supervision of the state
officials. requests have already come
in for from 30 to GO miles.
AS the new construction increases,
the patrolling system of course in
crcascs. The state Highway Depart
mCnt contcmplatcS Il marked extern
sion in this service. Last year. for
instance, the work of patroIling and
e-surracinG was so well done that
the roads were in much better con-
dition in the fall than they were
in the spring. All state highways
and State-aid highways are main
tanned at all times but on the third
class roads--those built and main
tanned by the townsville state ceases
its duties after construction.

operators licenses"
Mr.. Shorcy from the reports of
convictions received at his office
from judges all over the state says
that of the 1000 people who were
fined. since July /, fully $50 were
convicted for operating their auto
mobiles while under the influence of
liquor. This means that $50 people
had their licenses revoked for three
years. There is no appeal for the

lover 100 MILES new STATE
HIGHWAY TO Be CONSTRUCTED
BEFORE THE END OF 1922
Many Connecting Links Between Sections AL
ready Built Will Be Completed Work
Near Augusta Is Planned by Highway Com
mission

Over 100 miles Of new state high
way will be constructed in Maine
during 1922
To be exact, the present program,
as outlined by the State Highway
Commission, calls for the building of
102 miles, all of which will be de-
voted to extending the system that
has been gradually developing.
Best of all, the work for 1922 will
be a sort Of bridging the gap pro-
ceeding, for uncompleted sections
between pieces Of state highway
built in the past will be finished this
year.
Officials Of the Highway Depart
ment are feeling bit optimist ic
over the situation, for they are "over
the bulge" in the work for the state
highway system. The original plans
called for the construction of 1J60
miles. Already over 900 miles have
been built and by the end of 1872
the total will be we'll over a thou
sand miles of first class highway
About so per cent. of this is of gravel
construction and all of it is being
maintained.
There is only one thing that will
halt the contemplated program of
1922. and that is the failure of the
present Congress to pass the Federal
Aid bill which has been before it
since last November. Much of TIE
work planned by the Highway Com
mission is dependent upon the CO.
operation of the Federal government.
The 1O2 miles it is hoped to build
will cost approximately S2.40O, coo.
nearly half of which will come from
Uncle Sans pockets. Some Federal
money from 1921 is still available
and this will be used to finish worl;
| that could not be completed last
year.
1t is even possible that more work
| than contemplated may Hc compiet-
ed. for. with the general drop in thc
| price Of wages and the large amount
| of labor available. the constructor
, may. perhaps. be done more cheaply
| than the estimates now figure.
The plans for 1922 will meet the
approval of everyone. the highway
officials hope. In the So-callcd state
highway system alone. - different
projects will receive attention. These
