According to figures received Wen
nesday by the Portland Water Dis
tricts, Sebago lake, from which Port
land and it's suburbs obtain their
public water service, is one and four
tcnths feet lower than it was on this
date last year. This drop in the
surface level of the big lake means
a tremendous volume of water, more
in fact than the total consumption of

holds the Governor Of the state may

is my duty to respond" and that
"such action carries out the wish of

Clifford Hilton, attorney general,

appointment of Senator Nelson's sue

the supreme court in four different
ways, namely, the seeking of writ

81 BABIES AT
CHILD CLINIC
IN HALF DAY
Record Established, Says Dr..
Louisa Boutelle Of U. S.,
Head Examiner
HISTORIES TEN

A'total of 81 infants and children
were examined and scored by DR..
Louisa Boutellc of the United States
Public Health Service and Il staff of
, assistants yesterday afternoon at
the opening of Infant Welfare
Week" at the Masonic Temple.
"This is one Of the largest groups
of children ever handled in that
! length of time said DR.. Boutelle.
''In city where the clinics are
held at regular intervals and records
kept so up to date that only small ad-
! ditions are necessary at an eXamin-
alton, we have handled as many as
80 and 40 children in half day. but
! it is Il hard task to take care of that
number when entire new histories
must be written declared DR.. Bou-
telle.
The only way in which l can eX-
plain how this work was handled is
by the fact that the women in charge
Mrs. Edward Bannon and Mrs. A. NJ.
Brandt, and their assistants have
the work down to science"
Two nurses from St. AleXius hos
pital, two nurses from the Bismarck
hospital, and Dr.. Boutelle's assist
ant, Miss Olson, assisted in the max
ing of the records of the children.
Ten Examined
Ten children had been examined
before ten o'clock this morning and
ten were in the waiting line shortly
after that.
Mrs. Bannon declared that she
thought that this would undoubtedly
be the most successful clinic ever
conducted for the mothers and chill
dren of the city.
The records or histories of the
children will be kept for future ref
erence and for comparison in later
clinics.
DR.. Boutelle stated that the chill
dren brought to the clinics were in
healthy condition. Some of the
older ones were under nourished
she said, but this was due chiefly
to the fact that they did not drink
milk.

which the child was kept by look.

parents would only insist that theil
children drink milk, there would bt
no under-nourished children"
DR.. Boutelle will give a talk or
the care of children at the auditor

A short musical and dramatic pro
gram will be given prior to the lee

Tallahassee, Fla, May 9--Mrs.
Thelma Franklin, wife of John
Franklin, postmaster and storekeep-
er ut Glen st. Mary, told the legis-
lativc committee investigating al
legged convict camp brutalities that
at least nine deaths among the con-
victs leased by Senator T. j. Knabb
from Baker and other counties had
occurred within one year. This was
in the record of the committee which
resumed its hearing today.
Mrs. Franklin was emphatic in her
testimony. Sen. Knabb was in the
committee room as she related the
results of her personal investigation
81 have nothing personal against
Mr.. knabb," she said, land what /
have to testify is for the good of
humanity and to allow the people
of the country to know the truth
As 4 result of Mrs. Franklin's tes-
trmony the committee unanimously
passed resolution declaring j. B.
Thomas, state prison supervisor, un-
ift to continue in his post and re-
quested Governor Hardee to remove
him at once.
Thomas, in an early report on con-
ditions in the Knabb camp, is said
to have characterized it as human
slau hter-pcn.' Later he asserted
this was an exaggeration. The wit
ness startled the committee when she
declared that Warden Thompson, EN-
ployed by Senator Knabb, shot and
killed Mary Sheffield, a negress, a;,,i
her daughter at one of the convict
camps The Sheffield woman was to
have been witness before the COM
mittee.
Judge J. K. Jones, justice of the
peace for 10 years at High Springs,
Alachua county, testified before the
, committee that he had sentenced
Paul Rever White to serve 6 months

cause White was guilty and looked

Rv City Engineer Atkinson

The total cost or water to consum-
ers from a new city owned plant is
estimated by the City Engineer to be
very much lower than at present.
This estimate is based on the aver
age cost over period of five years,
as it is believed that with pure
soft, clear wholesome water furnish
ed to consumers at this rate the in
crease in water consumption will be
very material. Furthermore the city
engineer feels satisfied that after
the new plant is in operation, the
Board of City Commissioners will
make a rate for the water used on
lawns and gardens that will be sc
small that it will result in beauti.
full lawns, bountiful gardens and well
kept parking strip and boulevards
Our park system can then be ex'
tended and maintained.
If the present rates of the Water
Company are upheld by the United
States Court, l believe the annua
saving to thes water consumer on {
fifty foot lot from water consumed
from city owned plant will be suffi
cient to pay the annual assessmen
against his lot. In addition to thi
he will have pure soft, wholesome
water at all times that does not re
quire boiling at any season Of tn
year and water that can be use'
on his lawn without any danger o
injury thereto, with a good pressur
and ample fire protection. l be
lieve that within 20 years the en-
tire cost of the plant and all de
probation will be paid by the saw
! ing in water rates paid by the con
sumer and the taxpayers of the cit
will, own it free and clear.
The natural location of Bismarcl
is such that with. a good cheap waite
supply, l believe we will have tn
most beautiful city in the state.
Complete New System
The city engineer in preparing hi
plans and specifications for com
plete system has deemed it wise t
provide that the work shall be lie
in seven different contracts as fol
lows:
