Enormous Building Plan

If proof were necessary that the
United States, which, thanks to the
development of the motor vehicle, is
now passing through the most inten-
sive period of highway development
in the history Of the world, is build
ing roads that surpass in quality any
thing of the kind constructed since
the days of the Roman empire, that
proof is to be found in abundance. 1t
exists not only in the quality and
quantity of American highways, but
in the development of road building
methods and materials. The road
builders of this country have not only
outstripped their ancient predecessors
in the use of the most ancient ma
teriaIs, but are getting better results
with greater speed, less labor and
lower cost

partment made $500 inspection in
manufacturing and merchantile es-
Establishments in the state. AS "a re-
suit Of these inspections. recommen-
dations were made in many instances
for changes in working and sanitary
conditions and for safeguarding of
machinery and elevators. These re-
commentators have been generally
complied with. AS a further result
ten cases of violations of the child
labor law, ten cases Of violations Of
the "a hour law, one case of viola
ton Of the weekly payment of wages
law and three cases Of illegally ad-
vertising for help during strike
were SO fragrant that court action
was deemed necessary. Warrants
were taken out and convictions were
secured in the lower court in all but
one case.
During this time we have persist
emily enforced all laws regulating the
employment of women and minors,
all laws enacted for the protection of
health. lives and limbs of operators
In workshops and factories and
many other places; all laws regulat-
ing the payment of wages and the
protection of the the working classes.
1--WE believe that the comparatively
small number of court cases demon
strates the general intention to OBJ
serve the laws and 1t has been our
observation that one conviction in a
given community has usually been
sufficient to bring about compliance
with the provisions of the law in that
community.
1T is and has been our constant
endeaVor to administer the laws

Hearing will be held before En-
aminer Haskell c. Davis of the In

ion at the State House on the APP
iication of the Quebec Extension
ailway Company asking for a certi-
ate of public convenience and nee
sty authorizing it to construct a
w line of electric railway from n
onnCCtioE with the Aroostook Val
~ Railroad at Washburn. Maine, to
he west line of the State of Maine
II Aroostook county, a distance of
lie miles.
The petition sets forth that the
Quebec Extension Railway Compan.'
corporation was organized for the
purpose of acquiring by appropriate
transfer the interests. rights, powers,
| privileges and franchise of the
Aroostook Valley Railroad Company.
acquitted by said company under and
virtue of the provisions of Chapter
163 of the private and special laws
of Maine enacted in 1911. or any
amendment, revival or extension Of
said chapter. however or whenever
made as provided In Section - of
Chapter Al of the private and spec
ial laws of Maine enacted in 1913 en-
titled IAN Act To Incorporate the
Quebec Extension Railway Com
pany."
The petitioner. It is stated. has al
ready acquired by appropriate
transfers the powers, interests and
franchise of the Aroostook Valley
Railroad Company and now desires
~
route authorized by said act.
The proposed new line will be sit
| uated entirely in the county Of
Aroostook and will run from point
on the present line of the Aroostook
Valley Railroad Company in Wash
! burn to the west line of the State of
Maine where 1t will meet the tracks
of the Quebec Central Railroad.
The petitioning corporation de-
clares that the reasons that public
convenience requires the construc-
ton of this line are as follows:
That the entire proposed line with
the exception of part OF the towns
of Washburn and Portage is through
practically an unbroken forest cover
ed with timber which cannot be
favorably marketed on account of
, lack of transportation.
That 1t would open up a vast ex-
tent of new country for DEVELOPMENT

creating new homes and new indus
tries much needed In this section Of
