To Open Highway
Bids April II on
Eleven Projects

Nearly co miles Of State hlgnWay
will be let out for contract by the
State Highway department Thurs
day, April IT, when bids on II diff
ferent projects which have been de-
cided upon by the State Highway
Commission and approved by the
Governor and Council, will be opened
at the State House.
One of the most important will be
two long stretches on the Theodore
, Roosevent International Highway
between Portland and Fryeburg. Both
will be bituminous macadam. one
OF these sections will be 4.19 miles
between the town line of Naples and
Rridgton Village. The second will be
| 3.O7 miles between Raymond Village
and South Casco. 1t is proposed to
push these two contracts through
| this summer.
| If this plan is carried out, it will
! mean that the entire Roosevelt
Highway in Maine will be completed
| for the 80 miles except very short
| stretch of about two miles just west
| of Bridgton Village and another
! comparatively short one near Moose
J Pond.
/ Another important contract is the
90 miles on the International High
of Quebec. This will be through the
towns of Bingham, Moscow, Cara :
=, tunk, and The Forks, this section OF
road being located between Skow- =
! hogan and Jackman. The entire
/ route of this % miles will be entirely
new and along a ridge. 1t is said
( that the route of the new road Will
! be much more slightly than that OF
/ the old.
Another notable piece of construc-
| ton will be the building of the So
called Edgecomb cutoff on the AT
, lantic Highway between Portland
and Bangor by the way of Bruins
| wick, Bath, Rockland, Camden and
! Belfast, along the shore. In addition,
| a new section of State highway con-
struction will be built from the end
of the Wiscasset bridge to connect
with the main thoroughfare of trav-
{ ell to Boothbay Harbor
Long stretches of the Aroostook
Trail, the main thoroughfare be-
! tween Bangor and AroostOok county,
will also be constructed this year.
| The work will be carried on in the
towns of Winn, Smyrna and Lincoln.
An important section of the
Longfellow Highway, running be-
tween Portland and Bethel, via
Gray, Poland Spring, Norway, South
! Paris and Bryants Pond, will also be
! built this year. This will be a dis
tance of 3.22 miles through the towns
of Paris and Woodstock, at present
the very worst section of this entire
route.
An important link in the Atlantic
Highway in Aroostook county will
also be built. This is a stretch of
PIT miles through the town of Ed
| munds.
Work on q new State highway
! will be started this year, the main
artery of traffic between Milo and
/ Bangor, and between Milo and Lin
coin. This will be a stretch of S:64
miles through the towns of Milo.
Orneville and La Grange.
When these various contracts are
completed, the majority of the worst
stretches of the different State high
ways will have been filled in.

will be discussed. Are we carrying

subjects may be eliminated? Are

may be done to overcome it? Do
the young people of today show a
lack OF sincerity? Will a dean of
women incur high schools improve
the situation? Do our directors of
athletics have the school viewpoint :?
Is the money spent in education for
the average young person worth
while? In fact. is anything wrong.
and II 80. what?
I'VE want to get at the real situa-
tion. II things are wrong we want
to- rectify them. IL the schools are
doing we'll they should be encour-
aged. This and many other SUBJ
jects will be considered. The public
is invited. The press Is urged to
have representatives present and to
participate, II not at the time then

piled is always wholesome and well

In regard to methods of ire pre-
diction, of which several have been
warmly supported by their respective
proponents during the course OF the
conference. the committee recon-
mended adherence by investigators
to. five definite lines of research: De-
Termination of the infiammability OF
important fuels as these appear in
the forests; the relation between
meteorological conditions and the
degree of inf1ammability: prediction
of fire weather conditions as far IN
advance as possible; determination
of the degree. -of hazard resulting,
and the prediction and identification
of early fire seasons.
Cooperation at all possible
points with the Weather Bureau was
strongly urged. Further study OF
lightning storms both by actual OBJ
servation and by the records OF
static as secured by DR.. Hoffman OF
the Wind River forest experiment
station, Carson, Wash, were also
cemommended. The study of slash
burnings the committee considered,
despite the amount of work already
put in on that subject. and also
more attention to actual forest fires,
as to improved means of suppress
sion, better use of fire-fighting tools,
etc.
