day afternoon in favor of an amend
ment to the Revised Statutes provid-

DIR. Pendleton told the committee
that the Maine Dental Society at it's

and appointed committee of which
he was member to arrange for the
preparation of the bill. I'VE believe

DR.. Jordan. The watchword of den

Gardiner Charter


Henry Richards and Josiah Maxcy
of Gardiner appeared before the COM
mittee on judiciary Tuesday after
noon to advocate the amendment to
the charter of that city. The former
explained that when the city was in
corporated in 1S49 it had a charter
provision for mayor, six aldermen
and IS councilmen. 1t lived fairly
well under that charter until 1911
when a new one was secured. In the
effort to eliminate some evils Of the
! old government the new document.
he said, went too far. 1t cut the gov
eminent to three aldermen, one of
whom was the mayor. While this
charter effectually got rid of politics
it did leave many opportunities Tor
fractional rows, with the result that
under it Gardiner had had plenty of
| them.
The new charter had been pre-
| pared, he said, by a committee COM
posed of those who favored the pres
ent, those who opposed it and those
who regarded the charter Of 1S49 as
best and it was believed that it
would meet the needs Of Gardiner
| for many years to come. Its chief
| change was that it provided for a
mayor and six aldermen, an alder
| man from each of the six wards
! created.
Mr.. MaXcey spoke in substantially
the same line as Mr.. Richards. There
was no opposition.

Hearing was held before the COM
mittee on ways and bridges Tuesday
afternoon the bill proposing to in
crcas" the maximum gross weight
for commercial vehicles on the
Maine highways from $4,000 pounds
to 10000 pounds. Attorney Carroll
Il. Skillin of Portland appeared for
the Truck owners Association of
Maine in behalf of the measure, and
quoted figures showing that other
states are allowing larger truck
loads to be hauled than in Maine.
He pointed out that Massachusetts
allows $4,000 pounds. Rhode Island
and Connecticut each allow 2S,GOO
pounds.
Mr.. Skillin called upon many
truck owners. who spoke of the
growth Of the truck business and of
the need of an increased weight be
ing allowed in Maine in order that
the trucks may keep up with the
growth of industry and that the
Maine law in this respect may con-
form to the law in other states.
Paul ID. Sargent. chief engineer OF
the state Highway Commission,
stated that the State Highway COM
nissioness are very satisfied with
the law as it now exists. He stated.
however, that during two or three
months of the year when the roads
were in the right condition he could
not see why an increased load could
not be allowed.

Representative Hamilton of Carl

Health committee of the Lecisla ture
yesterday afternoon in behalf of a
resolve for the establishment of Il
test laboratory in Caribou, as a part
of the State Health Department
equipment. Mr.. Hamilton said that
ithe Governor and Council had passed
Il resolve for the establishment of
such Il laboratory in 1920. but had
found that the Health Department
had not sufficient funds for its equip
nent and maintenance. y resolve in
troduced in the 1921 Legislature for
the establishment of the laboratory
had failed of passage because Of the
expense involved. he said.
DR.. Clarence +. Kendall, State
Commissioner of Health, believed the
laboratory would be of much assist
ance in making analyses of suspect
cd conta gious diseases. He said that
the length of time consumed in send
ing cultures from Aroostook to Au

Senator Sargent of Hancock coun-

that some tax payers had refused to

BISHOP HARDING PLANS
CHURCH IN KUSATSU
Declares Needs of Lepers in Japan
Warrant Further Efforts to
Lead Aid.

Speaking before the woman's In
terdenominational Missionary Fedora
ton, Rt Rev. Alfred Harding. Bishop
of Washington, yesterday afternoon
praised the work done by the organi-
cation and told of several talks he
had had with Miss Mary Cornwall
Leigh, in which she related many
stories in connection with missionary
work carried on by her among the
IleperS in Japan, at a meeting in the
Mount Vernon Place NJ. K. Church.
He told how she had spoken OF
many instances where the lepers had
taken a new lease on life, due to re-
ligious teachings, and that the village
of Kusatsu, where she had been car
rying on her work, had been convert
ed from a regular hell on earth" to
a place where there are now several
places of worship which are attended
by the vast majority of the popula-
ton. The bishop then told of plans
of the Episcopal Church to erect an
other church there and mentioned the
Importance of carrying on the work,
which, through religion, has accom- :
plished so much in the past toward
relieving the misery of the lepers and
other natives of Kusatsu.
Mrs. j. c. Culbertson delivered q
short address, in which she told OF
communications that she had received
from Miss Cornwall-Legh and the I'M
portance of the work being carried on
there.
Mrs. H. p. Reisinger gave a talk on
the book of Revelations.

CATHEDRAL WORK
l IS BEING PUSHED
Bishop Harding, in Annual
| Report, Tells of Progress
H. in Building.

In his annual report to the members
of the National Cathedral Association,
Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding. Bishop of
washington, regarding the cathedral,
says:
I'VE are glad to inform you that we
are now laying in all the foundation
of the great structure, and that
through the generosity of two friends
of the cathedral we are erecting
portion of the choir. Work on the
building should never be allowed to
cease until the whole fabric Is COM
Sleted. so we are asking all our
friends to help US by bringing the
matter to the attention of others
who may be interested and by remen1-
bering our undertaking in their pray
erS. We are convinced that this wit
ness for Christ in the capital of our
nation will be a potent agency in lift
ing the minds of men to spiritual
realities, and SO counteracting the
trend to materialism."
The lower tier OF concrete structure
for the foundations has already been
laid throughout the length OF the
building, and the upper portions Of
concrete work are rising rapidly. At
the same time the stonework for the
\ walls of the sanctuary is being erect
ed over the whole length of the
Bethlehem Chapel, the foundations for
which were laid several years ago.
The George A. Fuller Construction
Company has a contract for the erec-
ton of the foundations and sanctuary
walls. and, as the bishop states in
Glis report, it is hoped to continue
work until the whole edifice is nm
ished.
on the highest point of the present
structure during Christmas week at
tracted much attention from persons
passing in the neighborhood.
