Hearing on
Harpswell Bridge

The issue of legislative confrma-
ton and valuation of the various
steps taken by the Street Halfway
! commission. the county commission
ers of Cumberland county, the NUM-
cipal officers of the town of HarDs-
l.well ana the inhabitants of that
, town in the effort to provide for the
construction of a bridge between
Crr's and Bailey's Islands was
fought out before the committee on
legal affairs Tuesday afternoon.
Former Attorney General Guy H.
Sturgis of Portland appeared in be-
half of the proponents of the act
asking for the valuation Of these
steps and Emery G. Wilson repre-
scented the opponents. For the most
part the proceedings We're devoted to
statements by the two attorneys and
but three witnesses We're heard. two
for the act and one in opposition.
Toward the close of the hearing
intimations of fraud in the registra-
ton of voters for the special town
meeting held on Sept. so in Red
Mems hall. Orr's Island and made by
Charles Nithcrby. were resented by
Mr. SturgiS. who made a spirited re-
ply. Mr.. Witherby. who said that he
was a large taxpayer and also repre-
scented others who pay considerable
into the town treasury every year.
declared the meeting was unoues-
tionably packed. Voters. he assorted.

all quarters and hurriedly registered
While the meeting was in progress.
In closing he said "There has been
no personal violence to date that

know of in this bridge fight, but God
only knows when it will come"
"Of course said Mr.. Sturgis, lit is
natural for the heavy taxpayers to
come in and object to anything that
touches their pocketbool.s.
Mr.. Witherby's opposition to the
bridge was that it would impose too
much OF financial burden upon the
town and he estimated that the cost
at the present time would be $780,
600. instead of the $4,000 originally
figured by the engineer Of the State
Highway commission.
Both Mr.. Sturgis and Mr.. Wilson
in their statements reviewed the 40
year fight for the bridge. Mr.. Sturgis
said that in 1883 the Legislature
passed an act giving the inhabitants
of Harpswell authority to lay out n
bridge between Bailey Island and
Orr's and in 1921 certain parties
came to the Legislature and obtained
the passage of an additional act.

sum of $6S7,316 for the fiscal year
1924 and $6S2.516 for 1924-25. for
the adjutant generals department.
General Hanson pointed out that
there are now IS military organiza-
tons in the State located in 26 cities
and towns, and there are q amor.
les. a new armory built at Lewis
ton will be turned over to the State
Shortly. This armory cost the city
of Lewiston 100000, and of that am
cunt $4,000 was furnished by the
State. The town of Houlton has the
land for an armOry and desires to
build an armory costing 100000 if
the state will appropriate $4,000 to-
wards the construction.
The amount paid towns and cities
for rental of armories for National
Guard organizations was $4,000 for
each of the last two years. OF that
sum, $4,000 was required each year
for the maintenance of the Portland
armory. The rental in 1921 outside
of the Portland armory amounted to
$4,000. The adjutant general stated
that had the Armory Commission
paid at the same rate in 1922 the to-
tai amount would have been $12,633.
There was, however, only $S342 to ex-
pend, so the amount to be allotted
to cities and towns had to be re-
duced. He said. however, that there
is a resolve before the Legislature
to appropriate the amount of this
deficit SO the amounts may be paid
at the same rate as in 1921.
In regard to the armory building
program, General Hanson said he
thought it should have been started
IS years ago. and he spoke Of the
manner in which the armories aid
the military organizations in eff
cheney.

Salaries and Fees

Two OAtord county matters be
for fine committee on salaries and
fees went over to next week as the
proponent could not be present. the
Supreme Court being IN session IN
that county now.
Hon. William Il. Pierce and Judge
Austin w. Stone OF Dexter. appear
ed Tuesday in behalf of bill to in
crease the salary of the Dexter mu-
nicipal court judge from $500 to
5000 annually. Mr.. Pierce told of
his work before court in the past
six years and said that Mr.. Stone
made fine judge. and one deserv-
ing of the suggested increase in sal
AIRY.
Judge Stone said he had been
Judge of the court for the past Il
years. Dexter is one Of the large st
of the smaller towns of the county.
1t has a population of Alb. There
is a large amount of court business
which does not always appear in the
records. as all cases are investigated
before prosecution is instituted. In
many cases the facts show only spite
and the best interests of the parties
concerned is to arrange some kind of
a compromise. Judge benjamin W.
Blanchard told of the good work of
Judge Stone and said that his court
was one where very few mistakes
were made in drawing papers, and
convictions made in his court usual
ly stayed. it being impossible to have
convictions set aside on account of
flaws in making the warrants
Rep. nj. j. Bartlett and Judge c.
w. Atchley of Waterville. appeared
in favor of an act to provide clerical
help in the Watervlle municipal
court up to and not to exceed $500.
1t was shown that in addition to
the regular work of the court the
judge does a large amount of work
among juvenile offenders and in
cases of marital mix ups. The judge
had no allowance for clerk hire.
This would allow of such assistance
at not to exceed $500.
Senator Sargent of Hancock, APP
peared in favor of an act to increase
the salary of clerks in the office of
register of probate in the county of
Hancock.
A bill to provide for an increase
in clerk hire in the Office of clerk of

hired his opponent. the former clerk.
of courts. John L. Reed. as a deputy.
He was allowed $3.50. He wanted to
have this amount raised to $500. as
