BOYS PROMISE
NO DAMAGE
To Avoid Repetition of Past
Celebrations, They Say

High school Seniors and others
who usually make merry after the
annual graduation exercises have
been asked, and leading boys of the
high school have guaranteed Super
intendcnt II. O. Saxvik, that there
will be no damage done in the fun
festival they plan.
In the past considerable damage
has been done to business houses
through painting Of windows. The
school board taking the position
that it has no authority over the
boys after graduation and can do
no more than protect it's own prop
crty, nevertheless sought to avoid
repetition of past instances in
which many business houses which
supported high school organizations
were put to considerable expense
and Inconvenience as Il result Of
celebrations.
Supt. Saxvik, in behalf of the
board, asked the boys in meeting to
avoid any celebration, and coun-
selled against any damage which,
might result from their activities.
After a meeting the boys sent u
delegation to promise no damage
would be done by high school boys,
saying, however, they could not con-
troll any rowdics which joined in
the celebration.
The school board asked the city
police department to furnish extra
police protection for the school
buildings, and Mayor Lenhart said
the city would cooperate in patrol
ling downtown streets.
The custom of the local high
school after graduation is said not
to be. followed in any other school
in the state. Parents also are ask
ed to cooperate with authorities in
the matter.

out of state car pay toll on this
bridge" said Senator Carleton.
THE tolls paid by some people
down our way cost more than their
taxes" he continued.
I'VE think that a bridge would be
less of a burden than the mainten-
a1ce of ferry If federal aid were
oktaineL
Engineer Sargent said that II was
news to him that any one had waited
at the ferry more than half an hour.
In reply to a question, Mr.. Sargent
stated that the ferry was about
breaking even.
George r. Webber OF Augusta
thought that the right way would be
be to have a separate bond issue for
the kennebec bridge.
Senator Carleton replied that .':e
proposed bridge woubl be a part or
the states highway system.
Il think ii would be unfair for the
people of Aroostook and the other
eastern and northern counties to pay,
for this bridge" said Mr.. Webher.
Mr.. Talbot said that a free bridge
was wanted and Charles~.a. Hill Of
Belgrade said that he thought that
the proposition would stand a better
show If it wcre made toll bridge.
Five voted in favor OF a bond issue
Of s3.ooo.000 for a bridge across the
kennebec river at Bath and two yot-
ed IN opposition to the idea, after
which the meeting adjourned.
