any more than the incomes of indi- viduals should be published? There are different views of course, but it appears as if the law interfered with personal liberty more or less, and ex- posed mans business to the eyes of his competitors, always ready to take advantage.
 Those against publicity argue that 1t violates pledge made by the gov ernment in order to secure ratifica- tlon Of the income tax amendment by the states, it having been promised at the time that returns would be held confidential
 Further, that publicity gives busi- ness rivals an opportunity to take ad- vantage of concern that may be losing money or short of cash; that it furnishes material for gossip, often unjust, because simple statement ot the amount of tax paid is very mis, leading unless al the circumstances are known.
 Lastly, that it tends to tempt tax payers to falsification when a true return would arouse public criticism
 The point which seems most impor tan to The Galway is that it gives opportunity for busybodies and med dlers to profit by the tax statements in case they care so to do. Carried to it's logical conclusion this principle would remove all privacy from busi ness and open all books and cores pondence to the inquisitiye gaze o the public.

IS PUBLICATION FAIR?

While the United States Supreme Court has ruled that publication of amounts of income tax paid by firms and individuals is lawful under the 1924 tax law (which seems to have been the only possible decision) the question is raised as to the propri- ety of such publications.

and that she would leave for Wtscas-
set June II. He will sail on the Bow
dom and not on the Peary, he asserted.
He will fly from Boston to Wiscasset
after the farewell ceremonies extended
to him at the Boston navy yard instead
Of going down on the Peary. That
change was made necessary, he said,
as he is to give out the diplomas at
the high school exercises at Wiscasset
Wednesday evening.
The plane on which he will fly to
Wiscasset will be one of those which
he will take north and will be put on
the Peary at Wiscasset. He Will make
a circle over Portland on the trip to
Wiscasset If he has the time, probably
reaching Portland about 100 p. NJ.
Broadcasting by radio from the Bow
dom will take place during the entire
trip, said Commander MacMillen, who
added that he had also planned to
have the Eskimos talk to this country,
which will be the first time on record
that they have done so.
Commander Macmillan declined at
this time to discuss the controversy
which has arisen over the Canadian
governments attempt to claim any
land which may be discovered on the
pTeSelI Tip, VI JlIS ny oNCI uiSPul-
ed territory. He intimated that he
might have something more definite TO
say on the subject at the farewell din
ner to be given in his honor at Newa-
gen Inn on the eve Of his departure
He reiterated that If Amundsen had
not been heard from by the time he
reached Etah he would abandon his
own plans and proceed Immediately by
airplane from Cape Columbia and If he
did not find trace of him there he
would head direct for the North Pole.
He expects to return to Wiscasset in
September.

New Eng. Fruits
Start Off Well

Wakefield, Mass, June 13-Numer-
Gus reports to the New England
Crop Reporting Service from the
fruit growers indicate that as a
whole the apple blossom period was
moderately favorable. 1t was long,
some days bright. bees and winds
helped distribute the pollen, but
May brought several frosty nights
and rather heavy frost was general
around May 20. For the most part
summer and fall apples blossomed
more heavily than winter varieties.
Baldwins which make up nearly
half the entire crop mostly gave a
light bloom but may set a fair to
good crop. Rainfall to date has
been sufficient for apples. The pre-
sent outlook is good throughout New
England but seems somewhat better
in Maine than elsewhere. This good
start by no means insures a big crop
because many adverse influences
have yet to register their effects up
on 1t.
Peaches in New Hampshire.
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Connecticut promise about 70 per
cent of crop and pears are gener-
ally good, while the small fruits
seem to promise well in most places.
Home gardens and truck crops show
the bad effects Of so much cold
windy, dry weather.
Hay acreage is reduced about L.
per cent from last year in northern
New England but is practically un-
changed in the three southern states.
Condition of the crop June 1 was
average or better in New Hampshire
and Vermont, but 4 to points un-
der average elsewhere and for the
United States. Pastures, due to cold,
frosts, and dry weather are under
average throughout New England
except in New Hampshire where
they are above average.
Oats are the main grain crop
grown here and show the following
increases in acreage over last year:
Maine 10 per cent; New Hampshire
s per cent; Vermont 5 per cent;
Massachusetts and Rhode Island /:
per cent; Connecticut 5 per cent
This increase is doubtless due to
some decrease in potato acreage and
to the move for more home grown
feeds in view of high prices for feed
shipped in.
Wheat acreage, though small

CONSTRUCTION ON
Bird &c TO GET
UNDERWAY SOON

Work on the Gardiner Randolph
and Main Avenue Bridge projects is
expected to be underway within two
weeks according to Street Commits
sioner B. F. Jose Of this city. The
Governor and Council voted on the
proposition last week, it being or
dered that-the State Highway Com
missioner be authorized to award a
contract to the Burpee Construction
Company of Devon, New Brunswick
for the construction Of the Gardiner
Randolph bridge at a bid price of
$173, 1875, under the following pro-
vision: That the contract be awarded
for Number proposal with the con-
dition that If the bond issue for
bridges is not favorable in September
or if other arrangements for financ-
ing the states share of the work can
not be made the work will be kept
within the provisions of Proposal No.
l.
At the same session 1t was ordered
that the Highway Commission be au-
thorized to award the contract for
the Main Avenue Bridge at Gardiner
to Edmond Cyr and Co., of Waterville
at bi price Of $6,94S.00. The work
on both projects will be carried en-
at the same time, this meaning a
large saving, as it will be cheaper for
the construction companies to have
their materials here at the same time.
The estimated cost of the third plan
was given as $177, 10000, and this
plan was approved by Gardiner and
Randolph some time ago. 1t provides
for the building Of three concrete
piers, (the pivot pier, the rest pier on
the Randolph end of the swing, and a
pier between the two fixed spans)
the building of columns in front OF
the rest pier on the Gardiner end to
take the swing span in its closed pos
ition, the construction Of a new abut-
ment on the Randolph end of the fix
ed span, the length now occupied by
the wooden span would be filled, a
new abutment on the Gardiner end 40
feet back from the Gardiner rest pier,
and the construction of 40 foot
span reinforced concrete T beam
bridge at this end. The remainder
of the space now occupied by the
wooden span would be filled. 1t will
take IA months to complete the work,
as a part Of 1t must be done while
the river is closed.
The Main Avenue Bridge project
will take ten weeks. and during part
of that time 1t will be closed to traf-
fic coming up from Depot Square. so
that traffic to the Maine Central
Railroad Depot will be obliged to -go
around by Bridge Street. and down
the Causeway. The roadway from
the end of the new State Highway
in Farmingdale down as far as the
Gardiner Auto Sales Company will
be surface treated with crushed rock
and Tarvia. From the Gardiner
Auto Sales Company to the junction
Of Water Street and Depot Square
and up as far as the NC. r. R.
tracks the paving blocks will be talk
en- UP, split and relaid so that the
surface will be the same as that on
Water street at the present time. So
it will be seen that the question of
what was going to be done about
Main avenue will be settled, as this
finish will be one of the best posi-
BILE. The next few months bid fair
to be active ones for Depot Square
and vicinity.
