ton, that the horse and wagon had

who made the sale had departed. In the

connections with the sheriff's depart
ment and took a position as treasurer
and manager of the Maine Detective
Bureau. Inc. His investigation of this
case continued and today word was re-
ceived by him of the arrest of Palmer
in Vermont. George s. Small, a former

Sargent, Chief Engineer. and Irving
w. Barbour. Assistant Engineer re-
turned Monday evening from New
Orleans, La. where they have been
in attendance at the annual meeting
of the American Association of State
Highway Officials, which was held in
that city December 3 to 6. The
representatives of the Maine High
way Department were active in the
sessions Of the association and read
several papers on technical phases of
road building. These gentlemen re-
port a most successful meeting and
in an interview last evening. Chief
Engineer Sargent told the Kennebec
Journal something Of the sessions and
their trip.
Over 200 delegates, representing 46
states and Hawaii were present at
the opening session. The delegates
were welcomed by Governor Parker
and by the mayor of New Orleans.
both of whom referred to the great
civic work being carried on by the
delegates. each within his own state.
In the judgement of both of these
gentlemen, road building is the most
important function ever undertaken
by the State of Louisiana and has
literally paved the way" for better
schools. Governor Parker stressed the
point that the work could not be
successfully carried out if politics
were allowed to enter into any part
of the functioning of the commits
sion.
The addresses and papers covered
the various phases of administration
financing. construction, maintenance
and operation of highways. Several
papers dealt with research problems
connected with concrete and other
types of roads. State Highway En-
sineer Tourney of Louisiana gave an
exhaustive report on the construction
of swamp roads in his state. Much
of the swamp soil contains SIS to 95
per cent of moisture. 1t is conse-
Quently necessary to secure good
material by dredging to construct

the road bed from. Grading the
road bed alone averages to cost $780,
600 per mile and gravel or other
surface costs about $4,000 addi-
tional or q total of $4,000 per mile
for gravel roads, and the state Is
building them on a wholesale plan
at that. Louisiana figures as does
most every other state today, that
1t is cheaper to pay for the roads
and have them then to not have
them and pay an equivalent cost In
the form of added hauling costs.
On Wednesday night the city ten
dered a banquet to the delegates. On
Tuesday afternoon a boat ride was
provided. Some six miles Of ''-''~i-
cipally owned piers were seen along
tie river front. at which were hum
dr"'s of ocean going freighters from
all parts of the world, discharging
and loading cargoes. After the river
trip the steamer was taken through
| the canal which connects the Mis-
sissippi river with Lake Ponchar-
train. for q five mile sail on the Lake
to the Yacht Club landing, where
automobiles took the delegates back
to the city.
On Saturday, Messrs. Peabody.
Sargent and Barbour passed part of
the day with the North Carolina
Highway commission at Raleigh.
This Commission has put under con-
| struction this year $33,000,000 worth
of roads. About 1900 miles will be
completed. North Carolina plans to
| build 800 miles per year for each of
the next three years. In two years
time the Commission has expended
$55.000,000. Needless to say the road
| map of North Carolina is fast chang
| ing. In the testing bureau there are
more than Is employees. The Com
mission has $50 passenger automo-
biles on the road every day operated
| by their engineering force. Much of
interest and value was observed by
| the Maine men on this side trip.
The convention of the State High
way Officials passed some strong
resolutions favoring the continuance
| of Federal aid. This Is believed to
be the most successful and beneficial
F., convention of Highway officials ever
held.
An interesting sidelight Of the
| Maine officials visit to New Orleans,
was Mr.. Sargents report Monday
evening that the weather in the
louisiana city was just like that we
have been enjoying in Maine, and no
| better in any way.
