Large Advance
Registration OF
Motor Vehicles

Judge Edgar C. Smith. deputy
secretary of state, said THURSDAY
that the advance registration OF
motor vehicles for the next calendar
wear is the largest it has been IN the
history of the department.
1.-THE applications coming In py
mail have now assumed proportions
equal in volume to what is usually
received directly after Christmas
continued Judge Smith.
This will probably relieve the
congestion at the beginning OF the
wear. although there is sure to De q
large number who will wait up to the
last minute before applying Tor their
licenses"
Judge Smith attributes this large
volume of business at this time to the
newspaper advertising which mas
been carried in the daily papers or
Augusta, Portland, Bangor and Lew
iston.
large amount of business, and there
will be at least a goodly number OF
residents of that vicinity who Will
not be obliged to wait IN line Tor
hours for their plates as was the
case a year ago.
The Department Of State last year
had many calls from interested citi-
zens and organizations in Portland.
Lewiston, Auburn and Bangor to
send additional clerks to these
branches to relieve the congestion.
It is stated that it is not possible to
comply with these requests. Clerks
who can be of any assistance in the
registering of motor vehicles must be
trained. and the, main office at Au-

lowing a general discussion among,
the members.
s"We all understand that the State
has no funds or any equipment avail
able for this work. and that we will
have to depend on our own efforts
and those of other groups of individ-
uals and corporations for whatever
is done this year." he said.
Plans Being Considered
The plans now being considered
embrace keeping the trunk lines open
from Kittery to Portland, and as
much further as possible, maybe even
to Bangor If we can consolidate our
efforts to that extent. We will have
road managers in control of each Of
the outlying districts between cities,
who will be responsible for the work
In their own sections. By co-operat-
ing in this manner, and gradually CO.
originating our efforts so that there
will be no breaks in the chain, the
work can be DONE"
his belief that there will be efforts
made to keep the road from Kittery
through Portsmouth to Boston open
this winter, so that there will not be
a dead end at that point.
r. IB. Redfern of Yarmouth stated
that the road from Portsmouth to
Boston was kept open all last win
ter, and would no doubt be cleared
this year.
At this point in the hearing, Mr..
Sargent read number of letters
from the selectmen of various towns.
among them being one from Winslow,
In which 1t was stated that the town
had mo funds or facilities for work
of this kind. w. j. Lannigan of the
commission stated that it might be
possible to utilize the road through
Sidney and Oakland in case no CO.
operation could be obtained from
Winslow.
Equipment for Work
/ These letters indicated that the
town of York owns a 5-ton tractor
pillow available for such work; Kit
terry has two such tractors that could
be used; Scarborough has three five
ton tractor ploughs; the city of Port
land has two lotion tractors, one
5-ton, one 2-ton, and several types
of plows available, and stated that
Portland would keep its own trunk
lines open within the city limits.
Rockland owns five ton tractor,
and the roads through Rockport and
Camden will be kept open. Waldo
boro has no modern equipment at
present; Richmond has neither
equipment nor funds available for
such work at present: Waterville has
; made contract with the Lombard
people to keep the trunk lines open
during the coming winter; Bangor
has ten-ton tractor ploy and other
equipment and is willing to Coop
crate to 0lIito an extent in outside

Retaliation in
Portland a Cause !.
OF Property Value
Decrease in State

Retaliation Of the personal prop
erty in the city of Portland. es-
pecially the stock in trade at the
various wholesale and retail stores,
was responsible in a large measure
for the decrease of $2.221.76S. in the
value of personal estate in Maine be-
tween April, 1924, and April, 1925. as
shown by the 35th annual report or
the board of State assessors. which
has Just been filed with Governor
Brewster.
The value Of real estate In Port
land increased $6,760,600. from April
i. 1924, to April 1, 1925. but a de-
crease Of $3,355,975. in the value OF
the personal property In that city
was recorded during the same period,
making the net increase in the value
of both real estate and personal
estate, $3.404,625.
Speaking of the cause of this big
decrease in the value of personal
PROPERTY in Portland during the past
year. Fred S. Jordan who is a mem
Der of the board of State assessors
and resides in the Forest City. stated
yesterday that the merchants there
agreed q year ago that their stock IN
trade was too high, but decided to
make no change in the valuation un-
til April of this year. the revaluation
to be adjusted on an equitable basis.
Many of the big business houses
changed their policy. carrying less
stock in order to make quick turn
over. The revaluation of the stock IN
trade in the wholesale and retail
stores of that city, becoming ef-
fective April 1 of this year. showed
a decrease of s2.2S9.S75. from the
valuation in April, 1924.
Besides this, hIr. Jordan pointed
cut. there was a decrease of $878.-
425. in the money at interest in the
city of Portland. due to consider
able extent to the settling of certain
of the estates and distribution Of the
funds, and to the changing of
securities. This item together with
the decrease in value of stock In
trade accounts largely for the $3.-
355,975. loss in valuation OF Port
lands personal property.
While this decreased valuation In
Portland is larger than the decrease
in the valuation of the personal
estate in Maine between April. 1924,

not entirely account for the amount
