FRACTIONAL INTERESTS HAVE INJURED
MAINE HIGHWAY PROGRAM. BREWSTER
TELLS AUT0MOTIvE DEALERS ASSN.

in the banquet room at the Augusta
House, at which State Senator Ralph
o. Brewster of Portland, Captain
Harold A. Miller, chief Of the en-
forcement bureau Of the State High
way department. and Charles E. Coe
of Boston were the speakers. All OF
these speakers remarks were most
timely and interesting to the auto
mobile dealers, and the dinner was a
furnished by Douglas Melody Men
of this city with five pieces.
Senator BreWster's Remarks
Senator Brewster's subject was
1.-THE Legislature and the Highways"
and in his remarks he called atten-
ton to the serious situation now ex-
listing and told the dealers that
through such organizations as theirs
a public opinion must be created as
the solution. Senator Brewster's re-
marks were in part as follows:
1.-THE problem is an ole one. 1t is
that of a very large State with a
sparse population. There are $4,000
miles of highway in Maine, and a
populat ion of 100000 or 80 inhabi-
tants to each mile. Nine of these
inhabitants are breadwinners, which
means that every nine men in the
State must be responsible for a mile
of highway. The tremendous bur-
den under the traffic conditions in
troduced by the automobile with the
summer tourists and the motor
trucks is something to be pondered.
1.-THE Legislature in dealing with
this problem has drifted into well
defined groups with interests that
seem to conflict. and this has been
very unfortunate for the development
Of nl1n0 Six M n
with highway construction over a
period of years. The broad issue of
the welfare of the inhabitants of the
entire State has. tended to be lost
sight of in more or less personal con-
troversies between opposing groups.
This has been unfortunate.
No Provision for 1925
"As a result of this the highway
program for 1924 must be much cur
tailed and no provision whatever
has been made for highway con-
struction in 1925. The legislature in
1925 cannot pass the necessary con-
stitutional amendment to provide for
n bond issue for that year until the
under traffic and climatic conditions
OF the last Fall, the roads without a
hard surface have gone to pieces and
the situation has become very seri-
Gus.
'"The solution of this problem as of
every other problem lies not primar-
lily with the legislature, but with an
informed and intelligent public opin-
ion. which must be. created through
discussion of our highways and their
maintenance in all sections of the
state,-before Oranges. luncheon
clubs. and Chambers of Commerce.

is a combination of the two sketches

resents the bodily strength and
achievement of Cony students.
The initial letters of the school c.
H. S., have been incorporated in the
school motto and thus assume a dual
meaning. The motto, "Cultura,
Honestum, Salubritas' embodies the
spirit of Cony and contains the three
elements which every high scnool
should represent. In explanation Of
the meaning and Significance % this
motto the following is taken from
| the last issue of the school paper,
! the Cony Cue.
"The first word, Cultura, stands
| for the learning and refinement OBJ
tanned during a high school course.
The second word. Honestum,
signifies the integrity and honor
! found in high school life. Without
this element any high school is
, doomed to failure. The last word,
Salubritas. is the element that makes
every high school up and coming:
that puts the vim into the school
affairs and develops school spirit.
This element represents strength
and soundness of body. A school with
a student organization healthy in
body and in mind cannot fail to sue
