COLBY MUSICAL
CLUBS START
TOUR NEXT WEEK

The combined musical clubs of Col
by College are to start out the first
or next week for an extensive trip
which will carry them into Massa chu-
sets. New Hampshire and southwest
ern Maine. The clubs plans to leave
Waterville either Monday night or
Tuesday morning and will not return
to college until after the spring re-
cess.
The schedule Of the trip, as an
nounced yesterday afternoon by Man
ager Lloyd Il. Dearborn, '25, of Ban
sor, includes eight concerts with the
hrst one being ct Westbrook. Leav-
ing Westbrook Wednesday morning.
the clubs will journey to Sanford
where their second concert Of the trim
VIII be given. Thursday night the
clubs will invade New Hampshire and
give a concert at Hampton and leav-
ing the following morning for Boston
they will play Friday night in Somer-
vile. Saturday night the annual Bos-
ton concert Is to be given under the
auspices of the Boston Colby Alumni
Association.
Extensive plans have been reported
on the part of the alumni of Boston
and this year the concert will be some.
what different than last. The alumni
association Is making plans for a con-
cert to be followed by a dance. As
Yet the management OF the college
clubs has not been Informed as to
where the concert and dance are to
be held, but word is expected the end
of the present week. 1t is planned by
the alumni Of Boston to make this one
of the best affairs Of it's kind and no
small amount Of work is being put
forth oil the part of the Boston grad
yates to make 1t a complete success
Undoubtedly this concert will be
broadcast from one of the radio sta
tons in Boston, although no word has
been received at present. Last year
the HeraldTraveler studio at the
Westminster broadcasted the Colby
club concert through station WBZ at
Springfield.
The members Of the clubs will be
entertained over the week end in Bos-
ton by the members of the alumni as
ISOLATION and then Monday morning
they will start for Whitman to give
a concert there that night. Tuesday
night the clubs will play in Fall Riv-
er and on Wednesday night they will
West Springfield. 1t is possible that
this concert may be broadcast from
the Springfield station.
This trip Is the most extensive that
the Colby combined clubs have ever
undertaken and the members feel that
it will be complete success, in tina,
the clubs this season are far superior
to any in a number of years. The
first trip through the central part of
the State was a success, and the Wa
terville concert a little over a month
ago was highly successful and created
much favorable comment throughout
the city. The concert later in the
same week at Hallowell was equally
successful and the clubs are now in
excellent condition for the long trip
into Massachusetts,.

Number Join
Maine Traffic Assn

A number of Waterville individ-
uals and business concerns have re-
Gently Joined the Maine Traffic As
ISOLATION, through the efforts Of the
Chamber Of Commerce. The drive
for members was started some time
ago when 1t was decided by the as
ISOLATION to raise sufficient funds to
secure the assistance of experts to
study the traffic conditions through
out the State and to present the
case of Maine to the Interstate
Traffic association, thereby protect
ing Maine industries from the pend
ing increase in freight rates. At
first it was thought that the Traffic
association would be able to carry
on the work alone but when the ma
ture of the task became more ap-
parent 1t was realized that Moth
ing could be done without money so
the membership was made gen.
era1.
Those who have already join
ed and there will probably be
more in a few days are: The Lock-
wood Cotton mills, the Hathaway
Shirt Factory, S. III. and A. B. Green,
o. A. Meader. w. J. Lanigan. e.

Carleton Players
Must Vacate
Present Theatre

The Henry Carleton Players. a
stock company that has played in
this city for nearly a year, was dis
Cussed at some length at the meet
ing of the directors of the Water
ville-Winslow Chamber of Commerce
held at the Chamber rooms in the
Elks building Monday afternoon.
Since coming to Watervile last
April the company has occupied the
Silver theater but It is necessary that
the theater be vacated by the end of
another seven weeks and Mr.. Garlic
ton, manager of the company, feels
that the company will have to go
Elsewhere.
Public sentiment favors the
Carleton Players staying in the city.
I They have given the people clean en-
tertainment, a majority of the time
playing to capacity houses. One of
the directors spoke to the members
of the board on the Players as he
knew them in Pawtucket, r. T.. and
said 1t would be regrettable II the
company were to leave the city at
this time.
Mr.. Carleton has said that II an
other theater could be engaged in
the city he would be glad to stay
here and the secretary of the Cha M
Der, Mrs. Florence M. Wallace was
instructed to make inquiries to see
If the acquisition of the theater is
possible.

KENNEBEC BRIDGE
Continued from Piazza Onel

cost figures had been obtained for
the Richmond-Dre Kennebec
bridge site, Mayor Ernest j.. Mclean
or Augusta discussed the entile pro-
position in presenting Richmonds
case to the committee.
Mr. Mclean also suggested a new
solution to the problem, that of a
highway bridge at Telegraph Point,
Bath. and combination bridge at
Richmond. IF it be essential that
the Maine Central Railroad should
be accommodated with a crossing
this can be done by building a COM
bination bridge at Richmond cost
ing approximately $1,OO0,OO0 and the
bridge at Telegraph Point another
million, a total of S2.0O0,000, and
saving of clean million dollars over
the cost of a building combination
bridge at Bath" .ne said ITO this
should be added an untold amount
resulting from the saving of the har-
Dor at Bath. He went on to show
that the money thus saved would en-
able the State to build 80 miles of
cement road, 70 miles of tar maca-
dam road and $50 miles OF gravel
read.
1T has beer asserted" said Mr..
Mclean. "by many who are strong
ly in favor of bridging the river at
Bath that bridge is needed at both
Bath and Richmond, Senator Garlic
ton, l think, has on more than one
occasion voiced this sentiment. That
is a sentiment in which We most
heartily concur; but it must be re-
nembered that we can only put SO
much in the proposition of bridging
the Kennebec. If a bridge is built
at Bath at an enormous expense it
must of necessity mean the absolute
abandonment or the indefinite post
ponement of the bridging of the
river at Richmond.
TT Is important therefore Just
what part of the State the several
proposed bridges across the Kenne
bee serve and the relative costs of
the various projects. We believe
that we will be able to show by de-
finite figures that there is no location
which can serve SO large a proper
ton OF the people of the State of
Maine and the travelling public gen.
orally as can a bridge across the
Kennebec at Richmond. The loca-
ton at Richmond is a mile above
the village. a location at the village
would undoubtedly better serve the
local community, but it would not
be so convenient for the public
travelling generally. This location
was selected becarse this is a State
project and because this location
would just as we'll serve the travel
Ing public generally and would save
the State substantial amount of
money"
The Kennebec bridge matter is a
State wide problem. Mr.. Mclean as
serted. After quoting DR.. Waddelrs
references to two sites at Bath as
being of greater convenience to citi-
zens of Bath and Woolwich, Mr..
Mclean said: 1T is absurd to argue
in the face of what Mr. Waddell
states that in urging the bridge at
these lower locations the conven-
icnce of the whole State of Maine is
