Asks Series Questions
Regarding City Streets

Gardiner, Me-, April 8, 1924.
To Editor of Kennebec Journal:
May / have space in your local
columns for this short letter?
I see that we are to have a city
election May 20 and one proposition
to be voted on is whether Water
Street shall be resurfaced from
Church Street to Winter Street. AS
one who is interested would like
information Of our city government
whether any plan har. been made of
this resurfacing. II 1t has, won't the
proper officer make it known. Will
it include the laying of new sewers
If so, how much is the estimated
cost?
viii the resurfacing be over the
present water and gas mains? II so.
will this part Of Water Street be any
better in q short time than 1t now
is from Church Street to the en-
trance to steamboat wharf, which
wGs resurfaced a few years ago and
now is not in a much better condi-
ton than from Church Street to Win
ter street-all because it has been
often dug up by the water and gas
companies.
It seems to me that the voters
should be informed on t..ese ques-
tions as to rlans and cost to vote in
telligently. II the cost is unknown
ard the work to be only temporary,
why should we undertake it until we
have full Information?

ceptionally interesting and instructive
talk on all phases of the milk situa-
tion and said that he was speaking in
the interests of clean milk: that clean
milk meant more than the absence of
visible dirt; 1t also meant the absence
of large numbers Of bacteria. He de-
clared that in Gardiner there were but
one or two samples of milk that could
be marked dirty according to the stand
ard. He is especially interested in
making Gardiner a model milk town.
According to Mr.. Barbour 1t is not fair
to Judge milk from the reports which
lave been published in the papers, as
at the time the test was taken 1t was
taken from but one sample. instead Of
from number, making a fair aver
age. He gave several rules for keep
ing down the bacterial count, and told
sources of bacteria. and the different
kinds Of germs which were found in
milk. He said that there were a few
points whereby the ordinance Of the
city Of Gardiner might be improved.
but Investigation showed that this had
been attended to since Mr.. Barbour
had read the ordinance. Questions
were in order and Mr.. Barbous was
called upon to answer several perth
nent questions, which made the meet
ing of even greater interest. The re-
suits of milk tests are on file in the
state House, or may be secured from
Milk Inspector Curtis in this city. The
matter Of bottling milk was discussed
and It was pointed out that 1t was not
fair to the dealers who were bottfing
their milk to have dealers who we're
not doing as fully as good business
Mr.. Barbour thought that II regu-
lar score card system was established
in Gardiner It would be hest to publish
a quarterly report of the standing.
1t was decided that on Thursday.
May 8, at the regular May meeting
Of the Parent Teacher Association the
Gardiner Public Health Association and
the Child Welfare Association should
have an exhibition of moving pictures
relstive to the milk question. these pic
lures being furnished by the state de-
partment. The following motion was
made by r. s. Smith and was inserted
in the records: Voted, that the or
ganization stand behind the city gov
ernment and the health officer, and rec
ommend that the proper steps be taken
to abate any conditions that may be
menace TO public health. especially In
the matter Of entering sewers when
available and Of requiring cesspools
where there are no sewers.

DR.. W. o. Cobb for the conditions in
the city in regard to contagious dis
eases. The doctor answered that at the
present time one family was under
quarantine and two others. from whom
the ban had been lifted, but the chill
dren were not allowed to 60 to school
He also spoke of the carelessness Of
people in regard to whooping cough,
and then went on to speak in regard
to sewerage conditions. and asked that
the organization back him up In enforc-
ing the law. Mayor McNaughton voic-
ed the sentiment Of the gathering when
he remarked that Gardiner had the
right health officer now.
In introducing the speaker of the
evening. State Dairy Inspector Forest
