No Opposition to Resolve
Providing $4,000 For
White Pine Blister Rust

While members. OF the Maine
Lumber Manufacturers A Ssociation
disagreed radically with Forest
Commissioner Samuel r. Dana on
the necessity of amending the slash
laws at a hearing before the COM
lnittce on State lands and forest pre-
servation Wednesday afternoon.
they were heartily in accord with
him III urging an appropriation of
$50, 900 for the next two years TO
combat the white pine blister rust.
which constitutes such a menace to
this growth. and III. Herbert Sturgis
of Portland one of a committee of
tive representing the association.
declared that they were in favor of
making the appropriation for each
Of the two years $40, 900. instead of
$4,000. If there was need of it.
There was no opposition what
ever to the resolve. and those favor
ing it were Mr.. Dana. w. @. Frost,
Federal agent in charge of the bis
ter rust work in the State. Mr.. Stur-
cis. Arthur Roberts OF Lyman. and
Blaine s. Nilcs of Augusta repre-
senting the Maine Forestry Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Sturgis briefly endorsed the
resolve and Mr.. Roberts called at
tcntion to the fact that neither the
Cole committee. the budget commit
tee nor the Governor mentioned any
appropriation for the control and
eradication of the blister rust. He
said that when he talked with Mr..
Cole he got little satisfaction and
was informed by that gentleman
that William j. Thompson. master
OF the state Grange. had come to
Mr.. Cole and made the statement
that the blister rust was similar to
the gypsy moths and might soon
pass away. Mr.. Roberts added that
he had very recently seen Mr..
Thompson and that that gentleman
had got his eyes open to the danger
ana was going TO send for some of
the field agents

Tor the rebuilding of the sheds on the
FRANKLIN wharf side of the state Pier
IN Portland came up in the House
edhesday morning for its passage
TO be engrossed. and it was tabled
on motion of Representative Gran
vile Of Parsonsfeld. This action
caused some worriment on the part
or the friends of the project.
Mr. Granville said after the session
was over that he tabled the resolve
at the request of several representa-
tives and senators who wish TO study
the matter more thoroughly before
they vote on it. He stated. however.
mat so far as he was concerned, he
should vote for the, resolve.
1t is understood that there Is muehi
opposition to the measure and that it
has been growing within the last few
days. but the general impression
seems to be that it will go through
the House by 4 fairly good margin.
Inc committees on taxation and
banks and banking reported, fought

representative Winn Of Lisbon pro-
VidlnS for the return to the old sys-
tom OF taxing bank stock in munich

Wild Land Advertising
Continued from Page One)

present laws advertised these taxes,
the State paper and local papers in
the counties in which the wild land
is located. He said that in addition
10 the selfish desires of the news
papers to retain the advertising there
were other arguments for tOntinuinS
this method. \ change had been pro-
posed in 1905, 1911 and 1915 but it
was found best to retain the old
method. The entire advertising cost
was about $1,000, but only small
part of this could he saved as there
would remain the necessity of ajvcr
Using a large number of parcels after
the first notices were sent out. The
owners of many of these Parcels axe
not certain.
"Thcsc wild land tax advertise
mcnts are the notice to the owners
and it results in prompt collection
of the taxes" said he.
You will disrupt public informal
ton and make a dangerous expert
mcnt if YOU change the method of
advertising these taxes" said John
i. Spraguc of Dover. former Stltc
Senator.
Representative Baker of Steubcn.
l.. G. Stcarns and Joseph Gould of
Bangor and Edward r. Merrill of
Skowhegan. also opposed the change.
"Thesc advertisements take thc
place of the ordinary tax bills that
arc first sent OUT" queried Rcpie-
sentative Sanders of Portland.
THAT is it," replied Treasurer
Bonncy.
Aaron e. Cole of Eliot insisted that
under this bill everybody was pro-
perly notified" A land owner knows
whether he owns land OF not, the
true ownership is only a matter of
record said he.
Mr.. Stcarns questioned whether
any legal forfeiture could be carried
out If the notices were simply maIicd
from the treasurcr's office.
Clement s. Stetson of Greene.
chairman of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS. apDcarcd for n bill which
would give the State Assors the right
after April first to assess the State
and county tax upon personal pro-
pcrty in unorganizcd townships.
which did not pay taxes anywhere
else and to bring suit for taxes either
in the county where the property is
located or in Kcnnebec county.
Edward +. Merrill of Skowhegan
asked Mr.. Stetson if this plan would
not take away from the towns the
right to make supplementary assess
mcnts. Mr.. Stetson replied thot in
the past his office had requested sew
cral towns to make supplementary
assessments and he had heard OF
none of them doing so.
THE bill is unnecessary. all VIC
need is one or two petitions of man
damus TO put the fear OF God into
the hearts of some of these assess ors
and the supplementary assessments
will he made all right" replied Mr.
Merrill.
l.. G. Stcarns and Joseph Gould OF

Osteopathic Bill

Hearing on the bill to permit

obstetrics and surgery in Maine was
given by the committee on judiciary
Wednesday afternoon. and. as usual,
when any measure dealing with the
osteopaths has been under consid-

NJ. Il. Sawtelle of Augusta had
charge of the presentation OF the
case for the osteopath and in open
ing the hearing said that there was a
great need for this as one of the
ways of meeting the need for physi-
clans in the rural sections of the
State. With this limitation oste-
opaths did not find it wise to settle
except in the cities. Given this ad-
ditional right there would be reason
for them to so into the rural sec

At kEYP0RT
upkeep of Maple Place TO be
Object of County-Bor-
ough Action

KEYPORT, Jan. 16.-All resi-
dents of the borough who are inter-
ested in the upkeep of Maple Place
are requested to meet Mayor Thomas
l.. Smith and his committee at Free
hold tomorrow morning at 1890
o'clock. At this time the matter will
be brought before the Board of Free
holders and efforts to have some ac-
ton taken regarding the matter will
be made. !,
For some time past Maple Place
has been in bad condition due to
the heavy traffic over the gravel road
during the time Front street was
closed to traffic which was naturally
diverted over Maple Place. Although
the borough has spent a large sum
in trying to fill in the street and put
it in good condition the street needs
more attention than the borough can
afford.
An effort was made previously to
have the board take over the street
J but at that time it replied its inabil-
ity to do so owing to the fact that
the board had more streets under
it's supervision than it was then able
to take care, of.
1t is hoped that the meeting of
Wednesday will result in some per-
manent upkeep Of Maple Place.
