ancient and Modern Kittery, the

This from the cover of an attractive

this was collected and arranged by
a special committee appointed by the

is being made to secure cooperation

There has been, 1t appears. some
intimation that Maine has been In

This recommended adoption of the

Grand Rapids is reported to be cap

horse power with storage available
on the Canadian side, and seeks OPP
portunity within the area OF this
State to enable it to develop bo'ooV
horse power more. From such a
contribution by Maine the State
should receive corresponding share
in the total power developed. From

sisted on our rights, appealed to the
Legislature and omitted no effort 10

anything selfish in this it has not
