IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU

When a tree falls in the depths of some I'M
inhabited forest, there is no sound. 1t doesn't
make a noise because there isn't anyone there
to hear it!
Pretty much the same thing is true about OPP
portunities. They don't exist for you unless
you're there to take advantage of them.
The opportunities to save money-and make
it-that are presented in the News Classified
columns every day don't mean anything to you
unless you know about them. They're simply
little printed ads-until you read them and
make them serve your purposes.
Can you afford to miss this chance to keep
in touch with the best offers-in real estate,
merchandise, employment, business service and
the other big interests of everyday life-that
are alphabetically listed there for your con-
venience?
1t will pay you to read the Classified Section

Following the overwhelming vote
which passed the bill creating the
Eennebec Reservoir Company in the
House. over the objections of Cover
nor Baxter by a vote Of .121 to q,
Governor Baxter issued a proclama-
ton in which he announced that he
would take the initiative in securing
the necessary twelve thousand sigma
lures to petition asking referen-
dun on the bill which unless refer
endum be asked, will become a law
ninety days after the final adjourn
ment of the Legislature without the
approval of the governor.
The Governor in his proclamation
reeites how in 1858 the Governor of
Maine decided to private corporation
millions of acres of timberland under
direction of the Legislature and says
that he legislature of the present
year has granted to private cor
poration water storage and power
privileges worth millions of dollars.
Today, however. the people of Maine
have rights which they did not have
in 1868. by this refers to the
initiative and referendum amendment
to the constitution.
HOLD Up DEVELOPMENTS UNTIL
1924
The proclamation further makes
clear that the Governor proposes to
take ample time In dealing with the
situation for it says that the work
Of securing the necessary signatures

dately. 1t then goes on to state
that once these signatures are Sc
cured and filed in the office of the

the 80 day limit after the legisla-
lures adjournment, the referendum
will not be held until the regular
State election on the second Monday

The effect of this will be that
even tho the voters of the State
should respect the Governors idea OF
State development of storage by APP
proving the charter of the kennebec
Reservoir Co, actual work cannot be
started by the company until 1928.
This Kennebec Reservoir Co. bill
has been one of the big contests. 1t
not the biggest of the present legis-
lative session 1t is of special in
terest in Somerset County from the
fact that the reservoir if built will
be located in Somerset County. The
accompanying illustrations show
views of Flagstaff which it is proposed
to buy.
1t was introduced fairly early in
the session by Senator Smith of Som
erset county. Its incorporators are
interested in the plants OIL the henne-
bee river which are users of water
power It's purpose is to make more
uniform flow of water in that river
and to increase the possible power
development of the kennebec river
by about 1000 horse power.
The company is cooperative
proposition, whereby its owners seek
by uniting to accomplish. something
which no one of them could do unaid-
ed.
1t is the project of the company to
construct a great dam on the Dead
River, tributary OF the kennebec
which will impound many billion Gu
bic feet of water. create an artificial
lake about 81 miles in length, flow
ont the town of Flagstaff and many
farms in the region above the dam.
1t has been. stated, repeatedly dur
ing the hearings and debates on this
bill that the company had secured
options on every foot of land to be
so flowed at price in excess of its
real market value. 50 that no injury
would be done the owners thereof.
