STILL UNCERTAIN
OVER TAX RATE

The State tax rate for the next
two years is still an unanswered
riddle. There is no indication of
just what it will be, but it is under
stood on excellent authority that it
kill be considerably less than has
been anticipated in many quarters
The big factor in determining this
rate will be the amount appropriate
ed for the University of Maine.
Practically all of the work of the
special committee appointed by the
joint Republican caucus last week
to shape up the financial program OF
the State has been taken care of,
and the greater part Of the general
appropriations bill is in shape. ex.
cept Tor this same University of
Maine appropriation.
The special committee. headed by
the chairman of the committee on
appropriations and financial affairs,
ford, is made up Of the Senate and
House chairmen of the different
committees dealing with measures
carrying appropriations. and at its
meeting last week. q day or two af-
ter it was created, it pretty nearly
completed it work.
The resolve in favor Of the Uni
versity Of Maine, calling for total
of more than $1,300.O0O for the next
two years. has not vet been reported
out of tn committee, but it is I'M
derstood that this sum will be large
ly reduced. One report is that the
amount recommended by the COM
mittee will permit Of repairs on
buildings at the institution, but will
not provide for am new obstruction.

incorporate this company; one MEM
Der signed a report, fought to pass il
the bill for State bridges does not
become a law; and eight members
signed an adverse report.
The nine members of the commit
tee who favored the Carlton resolve
reported ought to pass in new draft
and the new draft provides that the
bridge, when built by the money Sc
cured from the bond issue. shall be-
come toll bridge; also that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission shall have
the rate fixing for the tolls: also that
no bonds shall be issued until a valid
contract has been executed with the
Maine Central railroad whereby that
| corporation shall pay an annual rent
al OF 100000 for the use Of the
bridge by its trains; likewise that
none shall be issued until the Gov
ernor and executive council are con-
! WINGED that the cost Of the bridge will
not exceed $3,000,00O.
The reports on the various bills
and resolves for the kennebec bridge
at Bath will be considered in the
