The sentence is the minimum pro-

him, saying:
ST don't mind going to prison for
while, Dad. know I was in the

parole or a pardon"
Mr.. Mcclellan declared he would not
have objected had the verdict been
granddaughter, asserting his son was
not murderer. He and another son,
Tally Mcclellan, who had accompanied
him from their home at Triton, Ca,
when young Mcclellan was arrested

Work In The Stats

Work In The Stats
The State probably will receive ap-
proximately $65O,00O as her pro rata
share Of the sSO,OO0,OOO for road con-
struction carried in the annual agri-
cultural appropriation bill as reported
to the House of Representatives, ac-
cording to dispatch from Washing
ton.
The States share was approx
mated at the office of John N. Mack
all, Commissioner of State Roads.
Distribution of the road construction
fund by the Federal Government is
made on basis OF State mileage Of
different classes Of roads, so that
there is no definite way of determin-
Ing Maryland's exact share at this
time.
Last year, out of an appropriation
Of $75,0O0,000 for road construction,
Maryland's share was $6S5,945.01. 1t
had been hoped, the Commissioners
office said, that this years appropria-
ton would be for $S5,000,000.
Out of the total appropriation for
road construction, the Federal Gov
eminent makes deductions for vari-
Gus overhead expenses that crop up
In connection with the administration
Of the fund, in addition to other de-
auctions for the construction OF Fed
eral forest roads. Last year $l,S75,'
600 was deducted for these items.

New Parking Signs
Placed in Square

BY orders of Chief of Police Ros-
coe c. Dunn, two large signs nave
been placed on poles near the parking
space in Depot Square, the signs
bearing the words, Park here, ior
autos only" The placing OF these.
signs has been made necessary pc
cause every day this spring there mas
been at least one and usually halr q
dozen teams hitched to the fence OF
the, Maine Central Railroad. The
parking grounds was leased to the
CITY of Gardiner by the Maine Cen
trail Railroad with the understanding
that only automobiles should be
parked there. The usefulness of the
space has been shown during the past
year, and especially ION Saturday
evenings when almost every available
foot of space is occupied.
Chief Dunn has asked the City
Council for permission to have
large electric light suspended from
one of the poles, pointing out that II
Is needed, as several complaints nave
been made to the Police Department
about petty thefts from the cars
park parked, there. The Ch1ef de-
clares that II light was placed there
the danger from theft would be great
~ reduced, as it is thought that the
larceny is committed by boys. who
would keep away from the spot II it
was adequately lighted. The Mayor
has informed the Police Department
that the request will be granted as
soon as possible. that nothing can be
done at present as the 1924 appro-
priation bill is held up by the refer
endum, the election on the matter
will not take place until May 20.
Everyone is agreed that the light is a
necessity, and the sooner it is out IN
place the better for the many who
avail themselves of the privilege OF
marking their cars in this space.
