Augusta Water Rumor
No Cause for Alarm
PrecautiOn is Taken

The rumor is abroad that an I'M
healthfui condition exists in Au-
susta's drinking water. DR.. c. F..
Kendall. State commissioner of
health assures the journal that steps
have been taken to purify the water
and that it is wholesome and fit TO
drink
1t appears that a recent examina-
ton revealed baCilli showing con-
taminatiOn from some source. AS is
we'll known. the officials of the Au-
gusta Water District have made ex-
tensiVe efforts to protect the Carlton
Pond water and had reason to sup
pose that all conditions We're favor
able. The city has not been pump
ing any water from Cobbosseecontee
Lake. so it is evident that whatever
contamination there is. is in or
about Carlton Pond. The cause is
now being attended to.
Temporary ARRANGEMENTS have
been made for chlorinating the
water and there is every assurance
that it will be kept in a healthful
condition. This method of chlorina-
ton is generally used in water sup
plies for large cities, and in this
State is employed by about 40 water
companies. including those of the
cities of Portland and Bangor.
\ Journal representative called
upon DR.. Kendall yesterday morning
in regard to the rumors concerning
Augustus water supply. While DR..
Kendall admitted that the test of the
water showed the presence of colon
bacilli, he stated that users of the
water have been protected from any
danger by this method of chlorina

of the church. The supreme task is
to discover ways and means to adapt
the activities Of the church to the
modern needs and aspirations of
mankind. The leaders of the League
realize that the religious questions
over which men argued one hundred
years ago are not of vital importance
today. They are therefore endeavor-
ing to bring to clear expression a
liberal Christianity that includes
every person in the world In it's in
depreciation of life, and while not
destroying natural racial and social
differences are cndeayoring to elimi-
nate racial and social prejudices.
They desire that the church shall be
as broad as human needs.
The Unitarian Laymen's League
also believes that the test of any
religious movement is whether it is
socially efficient. Religion to have
supreme value must be expressed in
social relations and institutions. The
men Of today crave flesh and blood
reality in religion. They value any
religion to the extent that it is en-
bodied in the lives of heroic, upright
and optimistic personalities. They
believe that religion should be ex-
pressed in terms of the martial spirit
of the soldier, the skill Of the artisan
and the efficiency of the business
man.

SEEK IMPROVEMENT
OF STATE HIGHWAY
NORTH BELFAST AVE

Not only the citizens of Augusta,
but also those of Vassalboro. China
Palermo. and Windsor. the communi-
ties served by the highway, together
with those of Belfast are greatly in
terested in the matter of improve
ments to the State road from Au-
gusta to Belfast by way of North
Belfast Avenue. 1t is understood that
Mayor Ernest l.. Mclean will appear
at private hearing before the State
highway Commissioner on Tuesday
Oct. Q and seek to have this import
ant highway improved.
Watcrville citizens are asking that
the road from that city to Belfast
be improved, but the people of this
section and of Western. Maine, who
have occasion to go to the coast
towns beyond Belfast do not believe
that should their claims be granted
that anything would be gained in
connecting up the trunk lines and
main arteries of State highway.
The road to Belfast from Augusta.
by way of North Belfast Avenue is
practically a continuation of the i'm
proved highway from Auburn and
Lewiston on to the coast. Many have
expressed the opinion that from all
points in south and western Maine.
State. the highway to Belfast by way
of Augusta is the logical selection
for development. because it is the
direct and shortest route. because it
is a continuation of the existing i'm
proved trunk lines. because it serves
number of towns and communities
that would be served by no other
route, and because it is now a State
highway and an important link to
the State highway along the Atlantic
coast east of Belfast.
1t has been suggested that some
time in the near future it might be
we'll to hold a monster mass meeting
of Augusta and belfast citizens in
Augusta City Hall to devise ways
and means of a campaign to bring
the matter of the necessity of the
construction of an improved highway
from Belfast to the Capital City to
the attention of the State Highway
Commission.

fccted with the spawn of mussels be
fore being released. Since all mus
sells are parasites and often live on
the fins of fish. the opportunity for
increasing the mussel crop is unique.
The mussels in turn supply the
greater part of the fresh-water
pearls found in this country. The
industry which has grown up in this
region is valued at about $10,000,00O.
Some forty varieties of mussel shells
are of commercial value apart from
the pearls found in them.
The various by-products arc so
important that a tariff now protects
them. incidentally, the shells are
used for making buttons, novelties,
jewelry. chicken feed, road material
and composition marble.
