DISCUSS QUESTION
KEEPING HIGHWAY
Open ALL WINTER

Whether or not the trunk line road
between this city and Augusta should
be kept cleared of snow during he
winter months was the main subject
of discussion at the meeting of the
directors of the Waterville-Winslo w
Chamber of Commerce yesterday -
ternoon.
1t was ! tinted out by some Of the
directors thai the increasing demand
for automobile travel will make
clear winter roads necessity with
in q few years. The highways be-
tween Bangor and Lincoln and he
tween Bangor and Newport as well
as between other oints in the cas-
tern part Of the State are at present
being kept passable in spite of
weather conditions and it was ar
gued that this will eventually lead
to 4 clear road from Bangor to Port
lard.
The greatest point raised in OPP
position to the plan was whether 1t
would pay to maintain the open
roads and who would bear the ex-
pense. In Bangor the plan has met
with so much favor that the mer-
chants and physicians and other men
who have occasion for much winter
travel have shown great interest In
the work and have made liberal
contributions toward keeping it up.
The project, If 1t were favorably
decided upon would include only he
trunk lines and 1t would entail
great amount of work only after
heavy snowfall. One local man is
Of the impression that 1t would be
LII a. hn
roads open because they were not
constructed for it in the first place.
He says that unless many wind
breaks were built the snow would
drift onto the roads just as fast Us
they were plowed.
1t was decided that no matter
what action was to be taken con-
corning the master. it is now too late
in the season to contemplate an open
road this year. Mrs. Florence VI.
Wallace. secretary OF the local
Chamber is to sound out the opin-
ions of the Augusta Chamber of
Commerce within a few days and if
she finds the plan Is encouraged.
more definite steps will be taken i'll
the future meetings.
Mrs. Wallace reported on me
Boost Maine luncheon held last
Monday and she called 1t an entire
success. The Chamber entertained
20 out of town guests on the oc-
casion.

ACIDS IN STOMACH
CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas. SOurness and Pain
How to Treat

Medical authorities state that nearly
nne-tenths of the cases of stomach trou-

cess Of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
and not some believe to a lack of di-

food sours. causing the disagreeable
symptoms which every stomach sufferer
knows so well.
Artificial digestents are not needed in
such cases and may do real HARM Try
laying aside all digestive aids and instead
get from any druggist a few ounces of
Bisurated Magnesia and take n teaspoon
full in quarter glass of water right after

Agricultural Club
Of Maine Legislature
Organized for Session

The Farmers Club of previous
sessions blossomed out last nigh.
! with a brand-new Eame, the Agri-
cultural Club. Senator Allen c. T.
| Wilson of Aroostook County, who
has guided the old Farmers Club
was unanimously made the head of
the Agricultural Club. Representa-
tive Merle J. Hartman Of Readtield
! was elected secretary. Every one
of the 16 counties of the State was
represented by the 50 members pres
ent.
The Club was unanimous in favor
of the bill int oduced by Represen-
, tative Hartman, making 1t illeg.'l
end punishable by a fine for any mu-
Elcipality to adopt other than stan
card time.
THE time of the sporting element
against agricultural time" was he
way Representative Edwin A. Lowell
of Lincoln expressed his disapproval
of the measure.
The motion of Representative
John w. Leland of Sangerville to go
on record in favor of the Hartman
bill as introduced, and without a
proposed amendment, which would
do away with the penalty, was pass
ed unanimously. after the author of
the biM had explained that it re-
ferred to municipalities and not to
individuals.
The Federal Child Labor bill was
also opposed by the members of the
Club. The only one speaking in IA
vor Of it was Representative J. :.
Campbell of Kingman and he as
serted that he would have to vote
against it because his constituents
had instructed him to.
Il don't think that's a straddie,
do you?" he appealed to Chairman
Wilson.
MY constituents are opposed to
the measure and it's a pleasure for
me to vote that way" countered
Senator Chandler Buzzell of Oxford
county.
Some time was devoted to discus
sion of an amendment to the CO.
operative Marketing Act, which
would provide that all crop mort
cages should go through the Asso-
Citations. The measure was explain
ed by Representative Norman 1. Gal
lagher of Limestone, while opposi-
ton to the change was expressed by
Representative William H. Bragdon
Of Perhan.
1t was decided to hold a dinner
early in the session and the presi-
cent and secretary and Representa-
tive Herbert w. Kitchen of Presque
Isle were named the committee.
Meetings of the Club are to he
held weekly in the Judiciary Co n
mittee rooms.

icy of only recommending appropri-
ations to departments and institu-
tions which the state by statute is
committed to care for.
Referring to The matter yesterday,
State Auditor Hayford stated that
that committee felt it would be going
outside of the intent of the law to
make recommendation for institu-
tons under private control. g..
Auditor Hayford asserts that a
state tax rate of seven and one
quarter mills for 1925 -c6 and seven
and one-half mills for 1926-27 is
possible.
That would be the figure based
upon the recommendations for state
departments and institutions given
by the state budget committee, IL APP
preparations equal to those made by
the last legislature are granted to the
same private schools and charitable
institutions and to the University Of
Maine, and if the legislature approves
the estimates for additions to state
institutions listed by the committee.
The tax rate for 1928 was seven
and one-quarter mills and the tax
rate for 1924 was six and three
quarters mills.
One mill of the new tax rate will be
required for each of the next two
years to care for the private acad-
emies and private charitable institu-
tons and the University of Maine,
provided the same amounts are
granted to them that were given by
the last legislature for the years 1924
and 1925.
With the addition Of schools and
institutions alone, using the estimates
for state institutions ard departments
listed in the budget committees re-.
port that was submitted to the leg
islature last Thursday, the state tax
rate would be six and one half mills
for 1925 and six and three quarters
mills for 1926, instead Of the five and
one-half mills for 1925 and five and
three quarter mills Tor 1926.
No recommendations were made by
the budget committee Tor needed adj
ditions to buildings asked by various
institutions and which We're listed in
the budget report. To care for those
would require approximately three
fourths of mill each year.
Providing for those additions for
The private schools and institutions
that have been previously aided, and
the University of Maine, together
with the budget recommendation for
state departments and institutions
would make the new FAX rate seven
and one quarter mills for 1325-26 and
seven and one-half mills for 1926-27.

PITTSFIELD

An alarm of fire was. pulled in
from Box 20 corner of Washington
street and Detroit avenue at about
$50 Monday morning for fire in
the house owned by Mrs. Emma
Frentiss on Detroit avenue, near the
Sebasticook Mill of the American
Wooden Co.. and occupied on the
first floor by Ernest Huff and family
and on the second by Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Written. The fire apparently
caught in the part occupied by the
Whittens around the chimney. The
fremen responded promptly with
the truck and succeeded in subduing
the flames after the top part of the
house had been Quilted. The fire.
men did a good job considering that
the temperature was about 80 to 40
below zero. and that it was very
difficult to get at the fire owing to
the dense clouds of smoke. The
Whitten's lost practically all of their
furniture and it is understood had
a small insurance. Ernest Huffs
furniture was all removed. The loss
on the building is estimated at from
S12OO to $500 and 1t was said that
there was some insurance.
