coast on the steep hills, most Of
which cross the railroad track 1t
Is expected that the hours of coast

coasting and properly safeguarded
by men hired for the purpose. Dur
ing the coasting hours, no teams or
autos will be allowed on the street
Another project which is to be
taken up will be that of a large skat-
ing rink for the use of the three
cities of Augusta, Hallowell and
Gardiner, as it was pointed out that
the city was the logical place for
rink of this kind. 1t Will be large
enough to accommodate large
crowd. 1T will be electrically lighted
and there may be band concerts on
stated evenings. 1t will be Yer, con-
Nenlent because of the twenty min
ute trolley service between Augusta
and Gardiner.
There is also talk of small ski
jumps for the children to practise
on so that they may gradually ac-
qulre the art of ski dumping. It is
expected that there will be three
mile hike by ski and snowshoes later
IN the season with hot oyster stew
at the end
Mr.. Murphy, chairman of the FL

raising money for such a project and
IL is understood that he will endeav-
