Bangor Electric
Railway Allowed
To Boost Fares
To Ten Cents

The Bangor Railway & Electric
Company has been granted author
fly to establish and file on three
days notice a base fare OF 10 cents
for passengers in lieu OF the existing
base fare, according to
decree handed down Friday by the
Public Utilities Commission.
The following through fares from
the to the University of Maine have
also been authorized: First zone lin
its, 25 cents; second zone limits Is
cents. fourth zone limits, Is cents
1.-THE situation pf this petitioner is
not materially different from that Of
the other electric railroads Of the
State and the questions arising in
this case are practically the same as
those considered in previous deci-
sions of this commission relating to
increases in street railway fares"
says the order OF the Public Utilities
Commission. I'VE have made a care
full study OF the figures presented in
this case and there seems to be no
escape from the conclusion that a
material increase in revenue Is abso-
lutely necessary to enable the COM
pany to efficiently operate and main
tain its railroad department., and to
render to the public the adequate
service which the law requires.
The traffic statistics for the past
two years and eight months show
gradual and material reduction in the
number Of riders. This condition is
not due to any curtailment in car
service. but to the more general use
of automobiles and the improved
highways which tend to encourage
the use of motor vehicles. What may
be said in this respect as to passen-
ger traffic applies equally TO freight
traffic"

because of the dryness in the woods,
and has ordered back on duty all his

emergency measure to prevent seri-
Gus forest fires" said Commissioner
Niolette in n statement Friday.
Il desire to avoid IL possible any
chances of having a ban placed on
hunting in the forests of Maine
Timberland owners have instructed
their employees to work in co-opera-
ton with the fire wardens in every
way.
Il make a special appeal to the
hunters and people who enter the
heavily wooded areas to lend their
cordial support in protecting the for
ests and to give all possible assist
ance in the prevention of fire. 1
make an appeal to their intelligence
and good will that the forests and
timberlands be prevented from de-
struction by fire. and many assur-
ances have come from hunters and
woodsmen that they will work to
THIS END.
The hunters can do a great deal
towards preventing the ban which is
sure TO come If fires continue. It is
wholly up to the hunters whether or
not they will use discretion in observ-
ing the law and the proper preven-
ton of the spreading OF fires from
camp fires, matches. cigarette and
cigar stubs and hot ashes from
pipes.
'All matches that are burning. dis
carded burned cigars and cigarettes
and hot sashes knocked from pipes

ritory are as destructive as camp
fires left in the woods unextinguished
or flying sparks during a high wind.

BLANToN GETS CHANGE.
Clause Declared Inserted Without
Proper Authority.

After conferences with Representa-
tives Fred N. Zihlman of Maryland
and F'lorian Lampert of Wisconsin,
his associate manager on the part of
the House on the gasoline tax meas
ure, Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton, democrat, of Texas, called the
attention of the House to an error
in the statement presented to the
House last night by Representative
Zihlman in offering the conference
report on the gasoline tax bill.
Representative Blanton explained
that the clause which provides that
the funds accruing from the tax pro-
visions of this bill shall be available
exclusively for road and street inn
provements and repair, land that
such appropriations when made shall
be matched on the prevailing 6o-40
or other basis" Representative
Blanton told the House that this
clause regarding 6o-40 participation
by the federal government was added
by the legislative drafting clerk
without authority and in direct con-
travention of instructions. The House,
without objection, ordered that the
correction be made.
There was no indication today when
the House would act on the confer
ence report. Today is calendar We'd
nesday Tomorrow has been special
ly set aside for action on the Bloom
Chandler contested election case. Fri
day the immigration bill will be
taken up again, and following the
passage of the immigration bill other
time has been allocated.

SUIT AGAINST RIVAL
Effort to Force Closing of Sanitary

Justice Bailey has dismissed n bill
of complaint filed by the Great At
lantic and Pacific Tea Company
against the Sanitary Grocery Com
pany on account of the operation by
the latter company of a store at 941
Eye street northwest. next door to
store of the plaintiff, at 943 Eye
street northwest.
The tea company sought an injunc-
tion closing the store of the Sanitary
Grocery Company and based it's suit
upon a restrictive clause in a print
ed form of lease, by means of which
the tea company seeks 70 prevent any
owner of real estate, who first leases
to the tea company, from renting
any of its property within 500 feet
to any other retail grocer so long as
the tea company occupies the proper
ty rented by it.
The case was heard by Justice
Bailey on an application by the tea
company for preliminary Injunction.
which was denied, and, the case now
having come on for final hearing,
the suit has been dismissed.
The original owner of the property,
who made the lease to the company,
thereafter sold both stores to a new
owner. Werner a. Welte. and leased
