needs" says Governor Ralph o.

owners all over the State.
Several men concerned with large
areas of timberlands in various sec
lions of the State have advised that
a conference might well be held to
consider the quantity and character
of our hardwoods and any action
which might promote their utiliza-
tion to the mutual advantage of all
concerned.
"Such a conference is accordingly
being planned for Monday afternoon
June 1st, at 2 o'clock in the hall Of
the House of Representatives at Au-
gusta.

Bridge Meeting Held

At a special town meeting held at
Union hall at 3 o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon, the principal article of which
was to see if the town would au-
thorize the selectmen to hire. money
for the purpose of rebuilding Main
street bridge, so called, the PROPOSE
ton was voted down. The plan was
to raise quite a large sum of money
and the expense was to be borne by
the town, state and county. Two
plans were submitted which were ex-
planned to the voters by Mr.. Thur
Tough. There was considerable OPP
position by prominent citizens who
contended that it was better to make
the bridges safe if they were deemed
unsafe in any way, by making a
lesser appropriation for repairs and
letting the rebuilding Of the bridges
so until such time as it became
necessary to rebuild them. This
seemed to meet the approval of a
majority of the voters and the propo-
sition to raise money for a new
bridge was voted down.
