Postponed to Special
Meeting to Be Held
Thursday Evening,
Jan. 10

THE city has been fortunate with
reference to litigation during the l.
months just past, not having been
made q party defendant in any suit"
states City Solicitor Melvin +. Saw
telle In his annual report for the
year 1921 Which was read and ac-
cepted at the regular meeting Of the
Augusta City Council held Monday
evening at City hall. Continuing the
report says:
There are two chief sources of
municipal litigation, suits for dam
ages on the highways and suits re-
lating to the supporting of the I'M
fortunate poor. Neither of these
sources have initiated any actua4iiti-
cation and no serious claims have
arisen on either account. There have
ben two accidents on the highways
in which following investigation it
seemed advisable and just that the
city pay the actual damages, which
aggregated loss less than 800. Other
claims showing no actual liability on
investigation have been rejected. The
year closes with no pending litigation
In any court. A claim of just over
5000 including interest against q
neighboring town for expenses in
Cured by Augusta for the support Of
dependant children has been collect
ed by this department without suit.
During the last session of the Lcgis-
lature certain tax measures were
proposed which If enacted into law
would occasion a busstantial loss of
revenue but all such measures failed
Of passage.
THE ordinance governing the dut-
les of the solicitor requires among
other things his attendance at meet
inr3 of the City Council. With one
exception occasioned by illness he
has been present at each meeting
and, 1t Is believed, has been of some
assistance to that body. Very many
questions of legal nature have been
referred to the department by that
body, some of them requiring con-
siderable investigation of law, the re-
ports Of the department othe coun-
Gil have been uniformly received with
consideration and respect and its
recommendations usually adopted.
In addition. heads of different de-
partments have frequently asked for
advice and information regarding
matters concerning their respective
duties, which has promptly and sat
isfactorily been given to the exclu-
sion Of all private matters and such
papers, deeds and contracts as were
necessary in carrying on the numer-
our activities of the municipality
have ben drafted. In conclusion It
is only fair to state that while the
office has not been conspicuous in
the public eye during the past year.
its duties have been continuous and
sometimes arduous.
Respectfully submitted.

Quoted by Miss Lucy Gage, the presi-
dent Of the Student Council. At this
meeting there was presented . set
Of resolutions regarding proper
school dress and department. The
resolutions were prepared at the
suggestion and wish of the student
council and were entirely the result
of desire on the part of the girls
them selves to standardize their
school dress. The resolutions were
freely discussed but win not be made
public until after they are voted
upon next Friday morning at which
time they will be either adopted or
rejected by majority vote. The
resolutions were of a very general
nature and did not attempt to specify
particular uniform dress. There
seems to be a prevailing sentiment
however that eventually the girls
themselves may decide to adopt q
distinctive Cony dress.

II believe that the only satisfactory
thing to do is to strengthen the bridge
so that it will carry the combined
highway and street railway tramc. II
this is done, all possible orders amu
regulations will not. in my Judgment,
do away with the chance that the
structure may. at some time. be dan

ION the principle that all unnecessa-
ry strains should be done away with,
recommend that the cable extending
southerIy at about right angles TO
the bridge be changed to run ashore
in line with the south truss When this
cable is heavily loaded with ice Il ex-
erts a sideways pull on the bridge
which should be avoided.

Report Of Health Officer
The following report of the Health
Officer, DR.. George A. Coombs was
presented and accepted:
Augusta, Me-, Jan. I. 1922.
ITO the HONORABLE Mayor and City
Council of Augusta, Maine:
Il hereby submit my report as
Health Officer for the year ending
Dec. 81, 1921:
During the first 10 months of the
year we were comparatively free from
contagious diseases. with thte excep-
ton of scarlet fever AS usual that
disease was quite prevalent, but all
the cases were mild and no deaths
occurred. In the latter part of the
year it disappeared. and we now have
no cases under quarantine. Pneu-
monia of all types was less common,
as were also the eruptive diseases.
Diphtheria appeared in the fall and
assumed the proportion of an epidem-
is. The cases were all quarantined
Immediately, and schools. where
cases occurred, were closed until the
threats of all the children could be
swabbed. In this way several car
riers were discovered and quarantin-
cd until they were free from info
ton. The epidemic vas thus brought
to a speedy close. At present we
have but two families remaining un-
der quarantine, and those will prob
ably be soon released.
I'm this work we received valu-
able help from the school physician,
DR.. NJ. A. Priest. the school nurse.
Miss Una Clark, Superintendent Of
Schools. il. H. Stuart, and all the
physicians of Augusta. The city is
greatly indebted to them for their
hearty cooperation.

Henry +. Hill. inspector Of Konnetec

Augusta, Me-. Dec. 81, 1921.
ITO the Honorable Mayor and the City
Council:
Gentlemen: I have at various
times during the year, and more par
ticularly on August s. last. carefully
inspected the kennebec river bridge,
and find as follows:
"The masonry is in good condition,
1.-THE wood block paving. on the
roadway. laid in 1914, is in excellent
condition.
"The wooden planking on both side
walks is in poor condition, but with
the repairs and renewals made during
the year should last some time longer.
"The ironwork is rusting badly. 1t
should be scraped clean and painted
AZ soon as weather conditions allow.
I recommend that this work he done
BY contract. in accordance with the
specifications Of the Maine State High
way Commission. for painting metal
structures. q copy Of which is attaches
TO this report.
In regard to the strength Of this
fridge, I am OF the opinion that it is
subjected to greater loads, at the pres
cut time. than II can safely bear. II
