ter of some Is years Maine will have
to pay off these bonds and at the
same time will have the added ex-
pense for the reconstruction work
that then must be carried on.
Hiram =. Kicker Of Poland Spring,
president of the Maine Automobile
Association, declared that although in
eleven years the state has spent $35,
100000 in highway construction. there
Is only about $10.OOO.00O in the bond
account and the state has done very
well considering the progress that
has been made on the highway pro-
gram. He said that II the next leg
islature is asked to vote on a consti-
tutional amendment for $4,000. 900 to
be submitted to the people for a six
years program for finishing the
state highway system. it did not
seem to him that it would be I'M
reasonable.
The general highway situation was
given broad discussion at the get
together and 1t was the general con-
sensus Of opinion that the session

was held Wednesday evening at Ma
sonic Temple with Grand Matron
Mrs. Della III. Ohler of Portland as
the inspecting officer. The work was

ing manner by the officers of the To-

was strong in her praise of the type
Of work which she had witnessed.
Music by quartet consisting Of Mrs.

A. ID. Ward and David Campbell,
who were assisted by Arthur Morton
added much to the effect Of the
work.
A banquet which was held at els
in the banquet hail preceded the
work. The banquet contested of
baked beans. cold meats. salads and
der the direction of Mrs. Edith
Wright. chairman of the suppe,'
committee. The banquet hall was
tastifully decorated with chrysan-
:hemums, red berries, ferns and 9TH

get a rebate for that amount of tax.
The Bridge Program
Mr.. Sargent stated that the Com
mission is asking for $65O,0OO a year
for the States share of bridge money.
The petitions for bridges are increas-
ing in number each year. There are
about $500 bridges in the State.
State.Aid Highways
IN no year in the past ten has the
State had sufficient money to meet
the applications of towns for State
aid, said Mr.. Sargent. The applica-
tions for this year amounted to $780,
600, this being smaller figure than
usual due to the fact that the towns
understood that there was no money
available for this purpose. About
100000 has been spent a year for
State aid.
The Automobile Fees
The matter of increasing revenue
was discussed at some length fol-
lowing the suggestion made by Gov
ernor-elect Brewster that he had
heard it said that the auto license
fees of the State should be raised.
Mr.. Sargent said that the average
tax of New Hampshire is $25.73;
Connecticut, S23.72; Maine, 1851;
and Massachusetts, $14.75. Maine Is
next to the lowest in the New Eng
land states.
Mr.. Kicker made the suggestion
that the Highway Commission make
up statement of facts regarding the
needs of the Highway Commission
for its coming six years program so
that the matters could be discussed
more thoroughly at the next meeting
to be called by the Maine Automobile
Association.
