to taxation problems has been earn

1--WE. wish to extend a word Of ap-
probation TO Governor Baxter for the
effort which he made to be present at
one of the sessions OF the last con-
vention and for the inspiring and en-
couraging address delivered by him
at that time. The endorsement of
the Chief Executive of the State was
most gratifying, and to his is due, in
a large measure, the success Of these

Bud Moth in Wild Lands
"The Bud Moth situation in wild
land townships enters very materially
into the valuation problem this year.
Reports from land owners and from
other sources were SO persistent and
serious that we became convinced Of
the necessity for first hand informa-
ton. And to this end. in addition to
our regular explorations, a partial
cruise of many townships in the
worst infected areas was made.
while we believe that many re-
ports coming to us were exaggerated,
still the situation was found to be so
serious that values were reduced on
many townships where the worst in
fections were located. These reports
came from all parts of the wild lands
areas and many owners were ready
to take advantage of the situation to
obtain reduction in valuation which,
we believe, were not justified by ac-
tual conditions, and we found by sur
vey and estimates that we were able
to make an increase in valuation from
some sections where the complaints
were the most serious. And without
the information SO obtained and with
out fairly accurate knowledge of
the amount of timber left, it would
have been impossible to have made
any increase in valuation on wild
lands as a whole this year,

Gay Christmas Party
At Girls Club Monday

What is expected to be the biggest
party of the year. will be next Mon
day evening at the Girls club house,
when the annual Christmas party will
take place. The evening will be full
OF surprises and only the committee
in charge is wise to all the events
Of the party. At least, it is alright
to say that there will be a CHRIST
mas tree. But besides that, there
will be countless novelties. The par
ty will be fashioned after one which
took place a number of years ago in
Germany. when due homage was paid
Kris Kringle in great style. The
quaint customs of the party will be
brought into next Monday evenings
festivities. There will be dancing
and refreshments. Circle No. 8 of
which Miss Arlette Snow is captain,

has been inaugurated by State Dairy

State office and reads as follows:

1--WE believe that the law exempting
property from taxation should be
carefully revised" the Board Of State
Assessors say in their annual report
which has just been filed with the
Governor and Council "Some should
be so amended that the amount ex-
empted shall be fixed and certain,
others should be repealed. We feel
sure that the average taxpayer has
little conception of the tremendous
amount Of property escaping taxation
under our existing laws. Several
towns are claiming that their taxa
ton revenue is increasingly depleted
each year by institutions whose prop
erty is claimed to be exempt under
present laws. Demands for larger ap-
preparations are asked for, valuation
on property and tax rates are in
creasing and it would seem to be wise
to modify and curtail existing exemp-
ton laws, and that future requests
should be carefully scrutinized before
granting the same.
1--WE are very glad to report that
we have received the ready coopera-
ton and support of large majority
of local assessors in our effort to OBJ
tain data and information to aid us
in revising the valuation for the
years 1923 and 1924. We have COL
lected a large amount Of information
that bears directly upon property val
ues in all taxation jurisdictions. We
have tried to use this informa ton
fairly and impartially.
Distribution Of Burden
"The process of distributing the
burden of taxation to be used to de-
fray the expenses of local and state
governments is big and serious
problem and should be approached
with mind unbiased by sentiment
or locality. 1t would seem that pres
ent conditions should win a wide
spread sentiment of justice and fair
ness, so tina, the increasing burden of
taxation may not rest too heavily up
on those least able to bear it. We
believe that absolute equality in tax
alton is a dream that can never be
fully realized under any form of tax
alton. We do, however, fec. justified
in saying that big advance has been
made and one of the most potent
forces in awakening and applying an
! equalization sentiment has been the
annual get-to- gether meetings of the
| Association Of Maine Assessors
These meetings have all been well at
tended by representative men and

Highway Comm. to
Take Bids on Masonry
For Sullivan Bridge

The State Highway Commission at
its regular session held Thursday at
the State House decided to take bids
on the masonry for the Hancock
Sullivan bridge, these bids to be re-
ceived Dec. %. The last Legislature
passed an act authorizing the build
ing of such a bridge for the purpose
Of doing away with the present ferry
at WaukeaS. The required 80 days
allowed in which to secure a refer
cndum upon this measure, passed
with no move to veto the law in that
way and then an effort was made to
stop it through the courts.
Justice Deasey of the Supreme
court was asked to issue an iniunc-
ton forbidding work on the bridge,
but after hearing all the evidence dc
cided that he had no authority to 90
so. An appeal was taken from this
to the full bench of justices, which
sustained the ruling of Judge Dcasey
that the law was constitutional and
the court mad no authority to inter
fere.
The bonds for the construction OF
the bridge have been issued and sold
at good price, s1Ol29. A preliminary
survey has been made with borinss
in the river to determine the char
acter of the bottom upon which the
piers and ahutements are to rest The
borings have not all been completed
as it remains to be established
whether the rock formation encoun-
tered at one point is boulder or
ledge.
Senator Arthur Gould of Hancock
and Senator Holt OF Gouldsboro were
callers the carly part of tho week
at the State Highway Department in
conference regarding the matter.

Another Poultry
Service in F. B.

A new form of service that the
Farm Bureau and the Agricultural
Extension Service have to offer to
poultry men of the county is the egg
record campaign. The object of this
campaign is to assist poultry keep
ers to determine the egg production
Of their own flocks and to study their
own egg producers in connection with
that of other flocks in the county.
In that way, they will be given an
opportunity to find out whether their
flocks are producing as many eggs
Us they ought and in that way COR
ing in the wrong use Of the flock.
Each person who enrolls in the cam
paign will he supplied with an egg
record sheet by County Agent Clar-
ence A. Day. They will record on
the sheet the number Of eggs the
flock lays each day and at the end
OF the month they will report to the
County Agent the number of hens in
the flock for that month and the
number of eggs which they lay.
Their reports will be summarized by
communities and if possible by
breeds. The County Agent will re-
port back to the co-operator the av-
crage number Of eggs laid per flock
by the flocks in his community, in
the county and in the State. He will
also report, if possible. the average
number Of eggs laid by the hens of
each breed during the month. At
the end Of the year more complete
study will be made.
