Delay Probable
In Granting All
OF Milk Licenses

State Dairy Inspector Forrest A.
Barbour said Friday that applica-
tions for licenses to sell milk are
coming in fast at the present time.
!"These are being O. KID and lie
enses granted as fast as possible
continued Mr.. Barbour.
There will be some delay in
granting all licenses but no prosecu-
lions will be made for selling with
out = license until after an inspec-
ton can be made. Diaries whose
product Is sold in sufficient quanti-
ties to warrant inspection must pass
the requirements on the reverse side
of the application card.
Cows with caked udders and
tanks are certainly not clean. Con-
struction Of floors and cutters, and
liberal use of bedding are the best
guides as TO whether or not cows
can be kept clean.
IA tie-up does not need to be
whitewashed to be clean. yet white
wash which has been recently ap-
piled Is the best indication OF a
clean barn. Walls caked with ma
nure should not be allowed. Cell
ings especially should be tight and
free from cobwebs and other dirt.
milk should be cooled to 80 de-
greese Fahrenheit or below and kept
below that temperature until con-
sumed. An exception can be made,
however, when all milk is sold i'm
mediately after milking.
THAT water supplies used in
washing milk utensils should be free
from contamination from privies,
cess pools. sink drains. or manure
piles needs no explanation"

Central Maine
Power Co. Stock
Issue Authorized

BY an order of the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission. issued Friday, the
Central Maine Power Company is
authorized to issue and sell at not
less than par. c31O shares of its pre-
ferred capital stock of the par value
of 500 each. bearing interest at the
rate of seven per cent per annum.
The proceeds of this stock are to be
used solely for the purposes of reim-
bursting its treasury and diScharSinG

academies outside of their town, and
said section provides that the COM
missioner OF education shall appor-
ton to such town a sum equal to
two thirds of the amount thus paid
by such town not to exceed $40 for
any one pupil or $500 for any one
town.
"This, it seems to me, is merely a
limitation upon the amount which
the state can pay and was not in
tended to fix the maximum which the
town shall pay, because a proviso to
said section states that tuition for
such pupils is to be paid by towns
to an amount not exceeding the av-
erage cost per pupil for the year
preceding that for which the tuition
is paid in the school attended by
such pupils, but such payment by
any town shall not exceed 800 for
any one year. This proviso clearly
limits but does not fix, the amount
which the town may pay.
ITO hold as has been suggested
that the limit which a town is oblig-
ed to pay per pupil is $50 because the
amount which the state can contri-
butte is two-thirds of that or $40 is,
1t seems to me, an improper con-
struction of the law. 1t might as
well be contended that because the
states contribution is limited to 5000
for any one town, such town should
be limited to 5000 as the total amount
of tuition paid to any outside school
or schools. and no one, l believe,
would claim that.
1.-The law fixes no limit when a
contract is made between the town
and the school or academy, but lis,
of course. subject to the Limitation of
800 in section 5. In no case no con-
tract is made by the town, it seems
clear that a pupil who has complied
with the conditions may attend a
high school or academy where the
tuition is more than $50, in fact up
to 500, and the town be obliged to
pay such tuition. In other words,
the limitation upon the state of two
thirds of the amount paid with a
maximum Of $40, applies to the state
only and does not control the town
as to the amount which it may or
must pay"

ArmOred FOrds to
Chase Phila. Bandits

Armored Ford cars as bandit chas-
ers are the latest police innovation.
Gen. SSmedley d. Butler. Phlladel-
phia's dynamic commissioner OF pub
lie safety, is the man who introduced
them.
Before he took office q few weeks
back, the Philadelphia city councll
voted General Butler $4,000 with
which to purchase an automoplie
for his personal use.
But when statesmen for high
nriced cars appeared and tried to
interest him, he made it plain that
he intended to spend the money IN
purchasing small, light cars for use
as bandit chasers by the police de-
partment.
The Ford runabout was his choice
and it wasn't long before an enter
prising Ford salesman had a car
ready for the generals inspection.
Now the Philadelphia police have

until there will be 80 such bandit

guardian in any town which does
not support and maintain a stand

any approved secondary school to
which he may gain entrance from

in which he resides, as aforesaid.
THUS far there is no limit upon the

and 1t is further provided by the
school law that towns which do not
maintain free high school of STAN
dard grade may contract for the
schooling of pupils of that grade with

Fisher.
There does not seem to be any
limit so far which the town may pay
for pupils attending school under
such contract. Section 5 of chapter
173, public laws of 1921, as amended
by chapter 175, public laws Of 1923,

plished by sitting in the canoe and
guiding it through violent and tur-
bulent rapids without upsetting.
There was considerable danger in

Hence in case of q spill the ocCu-

Western Lettuce Wins
Lead in Western Cities

If New York state lettuce grower.
are to meet the competition from the
west they must grade, pack and han
die their product on the standards
set by other states, according to F.
o. Underwood of the state college OF
agriculture.
Previous to 1920, New York pro-
duced "a major portion of the head
lettuce sold during the summer
months, but during the last few
years new group of western states,
including Colorado, Idaho. Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. has
crowded into the market with a
highly graded fine quality product
This means real competition for
the New Workers, who have previous
ly had things much their own way,
and Mr.. Underwood is confident thai
they can meet it by using the west
erner's own methods. A few of the
growers in this state have been gard
ing their lettuce carefully, but a
large part of the crop is marketed
with little attention to grades.
In addition to this, in years past,
large quantities of inferior New
York lettuce have been shipped and
this has demoralized the market and
injured the reputation of the New
York product.
