that he had been offered bride of $4,000 for his

fact that II is impossible TO make out of stu
alton where there is merely one mans word against
anothers.
The Star isn't asking Douglas to send anyone to
jail,
in the naming of to the prosecutor by the
county commissioners. The statement cast a cloud
the regulations of dozen men.
II is up to Dobson under the law. TO name the man
who offered him the bride and thus clear the name Of
the innocent. IL is Douglas job TO make him do this
SO far The Star could learn Saturday no attempt
has been made directly to make Dobson talk

Says COm'r. Thomas

DR.. A. o. Thomas, Maine commits
sioner Of education, In n statement
issued Friday on the subject. Our

dren do not as a rule attend high
school in the same proportion as the

ored TO offer every inducc1'ent possi-

and reimbursement Is made by the
State, but while, this Is of material
assistance. II does not overcome the

sioner Thomas.
"Even with the tuition paid. It will
require from $3.50 to $3.50 per year
to take care OF the items OF board

this. the results during the last ten

Highway Comm.
Cannot Give Aid
In the Construction
OF Snow Barbados

The State Highway Commission Is
powerless to help towns in the con-
j struction OF snow barricades. This
| Secretary Z. w. Macdonald learned,
when in his capacity as executive
officer of the Rockland Chamber of
; Commerce he wrote to see If the
State would help build some snow
fences between Hope and East I'm
ION
Chief Engineer Paul D. Sargent's
reply was as follows:
yours of Dec. 10. relative to the
need Of a snow fence at point be-
| tween Hope and East Union, known
as Hastings Hill, Is at hand this
morning. The statute provides that
municipalities must take care Of the
snow. There Is no authority for the
Highway Commission to spend
money in the removal of snow and
we have never done so and Of course
we are without authority to do so in
this case.
Il have no doubt that the construc-
ton Of snow fences by the towns
would save many times their cost in
the actual expense Of winter road
breaking, but as a practical propo-
sition you know that in many towns
some Of the men expect to get enough
now-breaking to offset their taxes
and have had town officials tell me
in the past that when the time for
settling town accounts came around
| men would come in with a bill for
snow breaking which would exactly
offset their taxes. l merely mention
this to show the bearing which the
human element has on the question
OF economical snow handling.
'"There are a lot of. people in the
State yet who think the construction
Of good roads is an expense, when as
matter of fact every motorist In
Maine has saved many times over
the cost of his registration fee in the
reduced cost of operating his motor
vehicle and the greater the mileage
OF improved roads we have the great
e. the savings will be all around.
Another way to put this same point
is that the motorists are paying for
good roads whether they get them or
not. 1t seems to take an awfully
long time for this idea to sink in. I
regret that / cannot offer any prac-
teal solution Of the situations you
refer to-"
