But as she fell asleep there
came to her gently like a bright

as he said in low, eager vibrance:
You two look alike? Let me
see. Open your pretty eyes-ah"
And his hands at her shoulders
had crossed down about her
waist, drawn her to him. They
looked with startled joy into each
others eyes. That night he told
her how he loved her. And he
said it again tonight. Said
more-said with such boyish
gayety: Can we get by on that!

many years and were rapidly grow

dollars during the past two years,
and so far have only cleaned up two
counties. although several others
have received their first test. A New
York official engaged in the work
informed me that if all the reactors
were taken out of one county and the
indemnity for them paid it would
cost the state FIVE million dollars.

Hearing on the
Elirqination Four
Grade Crossings
In Town of Winn

Decision was reserved by the pub
lie utilities commission following the
continued hearing Wednesday on the
petition of the Maine highway COM
mission asking for the elimination OF
four Maine Central railroad crossings
in the town Of Winn. The office OF
the utilities commission was filled
with witnesses, q number appearing
from the town of VIM, and the
hearing extended through the great
er part Of the day.
The highway commissions case
was presented by Deputy Attorney
General Clement F. Robinson. At
torney Charles Blatchford of Port
land represented the Maine Central
raiload and Attorney George Thomos
appeared for the town of Winn.
In the evidence it was brought out
that the highway commission had
submitted that the project to the FED
eral government for federal aid. but
the government would not allow fed
eral aid except in consideration OF
the elimination Of these crossings.
for safety.
1t was the contention of the Maine
Central railroad that the elimination
would not be completed and techni-
cally it would not be an elimination
because the present highway would
remain as town road for the &C
comodation of three or four residents
living between the crossings pro-
posed to be eliminated. The attorn-
ey for the railroad did acknowledge,
however. that the proposed diversion
OF the highway to parallel the rail-
road would remove 80 percent of all
| the highway traffic from the cross
ings.
The estimated cost for the work Of
eliminating these crossings was $780,
| 900. A number of citizens from the
| town of Winn appeared in opposition
| to the petition on the grounds that
| the town did not want to pay the
proportion of the costs which would
! be assessed against 1t, amounting to
| about $4,000. The contention was
| also made that the proposed elimina-
ton of crossings would inconvenience
| the business section of the town.
