funds so collected mus: continue to he
used in the retirement of bonds, pay
ment of interest unon them and for
maintenance upon ire first ana second
class highways. 1t does, however.
seem reasonable that a snail part of
the greatly Increased fund resulting
from fees and licenses be devoted to
third-class work, in view of the fact
that residents along third-class high
ways are contributors to the fund and
that many of them receive but little
benefit from first and second-class
highway construction. We therefore
recommend that 100000 of the auto
mobile license fees he devoted annually
hereafter to third-class work and that
this amount. serve as the basis OF
fund for surfaCing work upon such
roads.
I'VE recommend the repeal of the
Granville bill in its present form, or
it's amendment so that the funds so
designated shall be added to the sur
facing fund devoted exclusively to
third-class work. This recommends
ton is made not as Il result of any
antagonism to the Granville bill or its
provisions. but because it seems adj
.NiSablc that all plans for the improve
mcnt of third-claSs highways should be
included under one head. and tho car
fNng on of more than one proposition
for the relief of sucI highways would
involve an unnecessary amount OF en-
ginecrIng and administration charges.
some plan for increasing the rotc-
nue. which might be devoted TO high
way construction aud improve mcnt
has been constantly in the minds of
the committee. and the idea of placing
Ii tax of one cent per gallon on all gas
0lcnc sold i'll the state for consumption
in motor vehicles appeals to us. We
recommend that if such a tax can be
proven constitutional. it shall be put
into effect in The State Of Maine under
practically the same conditions under
which it is now being worked our in
ether states. and that this tax shall he
paid into the state treasury for high
way construction ana Improvement and
distributed among the three classes of
Highway work in the same proportion
as that recommended for future bond
issue. namely, 6vc-tcnths for state

Siamese Twins
Die Within Few
Seconds Each Other

Chicago, March SO.-Joscfa and
Rosa Black, the "Siamese Twins"
died at a hospital here early today.
Josefa's death occurred first, and was
followed in a few seconds by the
death of her sister. Physicians had
declared early in the night that in
the event Of the death of one of the
sisters, the other would die quickly
as their brother, Frank Black, had
refused an operation which would
sever their bodies.
The twins had been in the hospi-
tai 10 days. Joscfa was i'll with yell
low jaundicc and that was followed
by pneumonia. Shortly before her
death Rosa was afflicted with bron-
chitis.
Preparations had been made for
the severing operation and the ply
sicians were ready to make every
effort to save the life of at least one
of the women.
Although the twins possessed sep
arate respiratory and cardiac sys-
tens. DR. Brcakstonc, chief of the
surgical staff of the hospital, cX-
planned that they had only ono set
Of secondary digestive and procre-
ative organs. The operation, he said,
would have necessitated the building
up a part Of the digestive and other
essential organs to save the life of
one twin.
Rosa was once married. her name
being Rosa Black Dvorak. She is
survived by normal II year old boy.
Her husband was a captain in the
German army and was killed in ac-
ton in 1917. She was married IS
years ago. Josefa never married.
The twins were the second Off
spring of a normal parcntage in
Czecho- Slovakia AZ years ago. There
were four other children, all normal
and still living.
During tour Of the world the
twins acquired considerable wealth
but they died without making a
will.
AS the women grew weaker last
night. physicians pleaded with the
brother to permit an operation. hos
pital attendants stated. He was the
only the adult relative capable UNI
der the Illinois law of giving his
consent.
NO" the brother was quoted as
having said. NO" not even il Rosa
lives for hours after Josefa's death.
There shall be no operation"
DR.. J. Otragovec, personal physi-
clan of the twins appealed to the
brother without success. Then their
attorney was asked to intervene, but
he declined to assume responsibility.
Two hours past midnight, DR.
Broakstone said there was no need
of rrolonging the argument with the
brother.
