to be hoped that some prison reform
err will arise in Waldo county who
will arouse the people to provide
shower bath. and eventually to build
a better building. 1t may protect
the community to shut criminals
away in a place like the present jail,
but it is not likely to reform the pris-
oners. The people Of the Waldo
County will be lucky if their prison
ers are not more hardened and dan
gerous criminals when they come out
than when they went in. and if this is
50, the people who own and operate
the Jail will be to blame. 1t is urged
that they so for themselves and see
what the Jail is like. 1t is also adj
vised that the county make as much
use as possible of the State Reforma-
tory for men, which is an institution
that provides vocational training for
the men committed there, and gives
them the help and encoura cement
and training which many of them
lacked in their early life.
The turnkey who showed the in
spector about the Jail expressed
sympathy for the Waldo county pris-
oners and showed considerable I'M
derstanding Of them and Of the I'M
fortunate effect of their present sur
roundinss upon their ambition and
their dispositions. He is making
such use of them as he can to fit up
wood and help plant in Jail garden.

Insurance Commissioner, G.. Wal
don Smith recently ruled and notified
all of the companies writing work
mems corporation insurance in this
state that in no way must the mcdl-
cal or surgical service of the COM
panics be limited BY any competi-
tive issues. that there must be no
discrimination in favor of one en-
ployer or another, and that the full
est, most adequate service to cover
injuries must be provided.
Massachusetts, through it's COM
missioner, Clarence w. Hobbs, has
warmly endorsed the position taken
by Commissioner Smith, and has al
so ruled in Massachusetts, PRACTICAL
" in the same direction covering the
same issue.
It was the intent Of Commissioner
Smith to avoid anything that might
definitely affect he efficiency and
quality of the service to be rendered,
that the act establishing compensa

that nothing must be done by carrier
companies to in any way avoid the

come and no funds available for any
purpose except as it receives them
from the public whom it serves.
This district, under the very able
management of its board of trustees,
has been able to render efficient
rates and to make from time to time
many additions and extensions to its
plant. Although, in the judgment
of the trustees of the Augusta Water
District, the requested extension
ought not to be made at the present
time, we are impclled to the belief
that a part at least of this extension
ought to be made Immediately. We
do not feel justified in requiring the
water district to make at this time
the expenditure necessary to COM
plctc the entire extension asked for,
although we recognize the demand
for the same.
"Riverside Drive, along which the
extension is requested. is an impor-
tant residential and farming district
of Augusta, located on the electric
car line, and is soon to be served by
an improved state highway. This
road, the southerly end in particular,
is already quite thickly settled. and
apparently some new houses are
contemplated.
In the first half-mile approxi-
mately beyond the end OF the pres
ent water main are 16 families which
can be served by the proposed ex-
tension, and nearly all of them have
signilied their intention of taking the
service when offered. We believe
and shall so find that an extension
of the mains of the Augusta Water
District should be made during the

, gusta Water District shall report TO
; the commission at the time tho work
. of the extension is begun, and with
in 50 days after its completion.
This is a petition signed by Har-
old L. Weeks and other residents
of Riverside Drive, so called, in Au-
| gusta, requesting an order from this
commission requiring the Augusta
Water District to extend its service
from its present terminus near the
residence of George A. Colburn, on
riverside Drive, for a distance of
some two miles along Riverside
Drive to some point at or beyond
| the residence of Mrs. 3. NJ. Cross, ="
says the decision Of the public utlli-
ties commission.
The residence Of Mrs. e. NJ.
! Cross is located about one-quartcr
of mile southerly from the Au-
gustaN assalboro line" continues the
| decision.
The petitioners offered evidence
! tending to show demand and q
! necessity for the service requested,
! ee'+A ~ ~ NV uIopultu lllttI the re-
quested extension ought to be made,
| and If it can be done without plac-
| ing an undue burden upon the water
district and its other customers.
1T appears that there are A fami-
lies living on Riverside Drive be-
tween the terminus OF the present
pipe line and the residence of Mrs.
| Cross at the end of the proposed ex-
| tension, and the evidence shows that
! 80 of these families have agreed to
! take the water service. The water
mains of the Augusta Water District
have been located for many years
as far northerly along Riverside
Drive as Pettengill's Corner and in
1914 the mains We're extended from
Iettengllls Corner northerly along
Riverside Drive for a distance of
$500 feet, at an average cost for
i that extension Of $1.57 per linear
foot.
In 1920 the water main was again
; extended to its present terminus OPP
posite the residence of George A..
Colburn. The total cost of this last
NN'Nh"io'l NstS T''''io'oc, OF $40 per
linear foot. The last extension
proved to be very much more ex-
pensive per foot than the former
one. partly because of the increased
cost of labor and materials. but
! principally by reason of the fact that
large amount of ledge was en-
| countered, 100 feet of the 12OO-fo
extension being dug through solid
ledge. The return which the water
district is receiving from this last
extension is obviously entirely made
quate. The engineer of the water
| district estimates that the cost of the
| proposed extension will be S26, sos,
or $3.50 per linear foot. 1t is the
contention Of the trustees of the wa
ter district that it would not be fea-
sible to make so large an extension
as requested on this line at this time
| and that such an extension would
not be warranted by the probable
return to be received.

quasi-municipal corporation organ

cfhcient service as possible to all of
