AS all the roads in the state
system either connect county seats
or with important roads of adjoin-
ing states, it is impossible to use
the 80 percent fund except in carry
ing out these two main provisions of
the law.
The contention that the reserve
fund was intended to be used on all
roads connecting with the borders
of adjoining states, is without foun-
dation..
The two uses of the reserve fund
as stated ia the law, are Gin making
desirable connections or economic
ing in construction. The selection
of the connections and economics is
left to the discretion of the Com
mission.
Naturally, every connection is de
, sirable to somebody, but the State
Road Commission has interpreted
the word desirable" to mean desir-
able to the greatest number. For this
reason, it has been the policy of the
Commission to use the reserve fund
largely toward the construction Of
the four main trunk lines extending
entirely across the state, two east
and west, two north and south
These four trunk lines traverse So

SO the pension fund, rather than the
 general treasury, would benefit by the fifty cents collected by patrolmen In addition to their regular fee when they do duty in a store or place of amusement Chairman E. F. Hall asked if that fifty cents was not in- ] tended 10 reimburse the city for equipment, but Chief of Police Will liam c. Hart replied that super numorary policeman receives no equipment other than badge and hat-picce. both Of which arc loaned to him.
 Tho police board is also anxious 10 have the question Of it's powers and those Of the council cleared up, but since the committee. had already discussed this question, Chairman Dunn did not remark on it other than to say:
 The present provisions appeared perfectly clear to me and they seem. cd perfectly clear to Judge Kirk Lam, only that We had different view points"
 The charter rcvisers took under adNisem"nt a suggestion that a change he made in the sections re- lating to retirement of police off cers when they become SO years Of age provided they have served 25 years in the department. The pro- posed change would make 1t com nnlsory for the board to retire such officers.
 Chairman F. r. Hall suggested amendments that would permit the borrowing of money on short term notes on street benefit assessments so work might be carried on without waiting for payments to come in, the notes to he paid when assess ments are paid. He also urged q change that would allow transfer of funds from one department to an other within five months Of the close Of the fiscal year, instead of only within two months as is now the rule.
 Councilman Donald L. Bartlett asked the committee 10 consider a change 10 permit the Connecticut Co. to extend its Stanley street trolley terminal into Francis street so cars would not be left standing on the maip road. This is a matter for the legislature. the committee felt, and no action was taken.
 Chairman Saul r. Waskowitz urg- ed a change in the city plan com ] making 1t board of six in- stead of Is members, and empower ing 1t to expend funds for hiring experts and for such other purposes ! as may be necessary. A proposed | to this end will be acted 1 upon next week.

 Roth was discharged on motion of Attorney r. F. McDoDoUGh after Assistant Prosecutor William X. Greensteln had closed the sta'c's case, McDo0ougn argued that the only evidence that the state had against Roth nas tde fac, lhat he had the liquor in his possession and did not tel the police that he had ii when they askai h.m.
 In tin1ing the liquor, the police testified that they went into Koth's house and askal hum t' he had any liquor there.

WATERvILLE COMES
FRO N BEHIND IN
9TH AND WINS 6 TO 5
Especial to Kennebec Journal)

Waterville, July S.-The Taconnets
won from the Augusta Millionaires
here this afternoon 6-5 in one Of the
prettiest games to watch seen on Seav-
ers field for many a day. The Augusta
nine headed the score column for eight
innings and at the beginning Of the
seventh the score was to / in favor
of the losers.
With the score 5-l in favor of the
MiIlionaires in the last of the eighth,
Johnny Lanpher came to bat with three
men on and drove out a sweet little
hit Just over the second baseman's
head. letting Cutler and Potter across
home plate for the game.
The game looked bad for the locals
from the start, for Clancy. the third
man up, banged out a beautiful circuit
drive over deep center field. In the
second Higgins repeated Clancy's stunt
ty cracking the ball for another four
base drive over right field. Higgins. by
fast running managed to stretch the
hit for Whe full route, but the fans
were shouting that the Taconnet right
fielder used poor judgment.
Groves pitched wonderful bail from
the start, passing no one and striking
out four, but he did not have the proper
support until the latter part Of the
game.
In the fifth the Augusta boys an.
nexed a couple more to their total
through a combination Of hits and err
rors and their final tally came in the
sixth when Baker stretched a slow
pop fly, just over first base, into three
bases when it made poor bound.
The Taconnets' first run came in the
fourth when Wood walked and the next
three men got singles. The fifth look
ed like a good inning for the Tacon-
nets until Wood hit into double play
made by Fitzpatrick to Morrell to Hill.
In the seventh the locals brought
the score up to three when Cutler
banged out a double to left and Potter,
Wood and Lanpher took singles. put
ting Cutler and Potter across the
plate.
With two to tie and three to win,
Barlow came up-in the eighth and flied
out. Doyle hit to left field and Groves
followed with a single to right. Cutler
was hit on the arm and filled the bases.
Potter hit a neat single along the
third base line. Doyle came in. but
Groves was caught at third. Woods
was hit on the leg by a pitched ball.
Then Johnny Lanpher came up and did
the trick
