state Contingent Fund thus in

financial powers come to the EXecu-
tive Department under liberal con-
struction of what constitutes an
emergency at amy given time. 10

and hold that a Governor and Coun-
ell may anticipate lapses or excess
revenues for the Contingent tuno
at some futur etime, and then ara"
against these hopes or expectations'
however well founded they may pe'
would embark our State on imam
cial system that must END In oisaster
for all concerned"
This no conscientious Chief Execu-
tive could do. The obligations OF the
State must be met and no prudent
LEGISLATURE with a two year vacation
in prospect could leave the State to
RELY upon a guess that approprla-
tions would be lapsed or that rev.
enues would exceed the estimates.
II the certainty Of this happening
were known to anyone before July
why were we not told Of it earlier?
Concern over the financial position
of the State did not originate under
the present administration. 1t was
necessary in October 1924, for the
State Auditor, who has enjoyed IL
years experience in the affairs OF
his Office, to protest against the dis
sipation of the Contingent Fund un-
der my predecessor and formal let
ter reciting the conditions and re-
fusing to honor further drafts was
filed by he State Auditor with the
;NR hot q
stemmed to some extent the torrent
of emergency appropriation which
were then being made and particu-
larly one of $250,000 for Penal In
stitution which was then proposed.
The special message to the Legis-
lature last winter regarding the
State finances was compelled by con-
ditions which were entirely beyond
my control. No solution of the prob
lem was possible except by Legisla-
tive action and the Legislature were
entitled to the facts as furnished to
the Governor and Council by the
State Auditor. The message con-
tained no personal references of any
kind and was confined to the briefest
statement consistent with the situa-
ton and was framed with the most
careful regard for the interests and
sensibilities of everyone concerned.
There will be found in this special
message a complete and brief pre-
sentation of the facts which were
laid before the Legislature and it's
examination will answer the in
quiries of any interested citizen as
to the reasons for the action which
the Legislature deemed it wose to
take.
One who attacks another or de-
fends himself is necessarily taking a
personal view of public affairs. 1t
seems very desirable in hese times
that we should give our attention to
principles and policies of govern
ment and the economic interests of
the State and that any distraction of
the popular thought by personal
controversy will not be helpful.

Governor Ralph o. Brewster's
cheerful willingness to oblige when-
ever possible will result in his keep
ing two difficult engagements Thurs
day. The Governor will attend and
preside at the dedicatory exercises at
Mere Point when the tablet to the

played, and when the ceremony Is

HALLOWELL FOLKS
IN PROTEST N, c. R. R.
]. TRAINS WHISTL|NG

A vigorous protest against the
trains of the Maine Central r. r.
whistling in the northern section of
the city Of Hallowell was voiced by
q number Of property owners who
appeared before the Public Utilities
Commission Tuesday morning at its
offices at the State House on the
petition to have the whistling post
removed from it's present location
and replaced in its former position,
east of the overhead bridge on Sec
ond street.
The case for the petitioners was
presented under the direction of
Mayor Charles K. Tilden of Halo
WELL while Col George E. Fogg ap-
peared as counsel for the Maine Cen
trail r. r. Co.
Mayor Tilden stated that the whist
ling post for westbound trains had
been changed from its location near
the Standard Oil plant in Hallowell
to a location south of the overhead
bridge on Second street, that the
owners of houses in the vicinity OF
the new location of the post are
greatly annoyed by the whistling OF
the locomotives, and that In It's
present location the whistling post
does not afford sufficient protection
for the Winthrop street crossing as
the gate tender at Winthrop street,
after hearing the whistle does not
have time to lower the gates before
the locomotive has reached the
crossing.
! Miss Carrie Macomber of Halo
well testified that she lives in the
house west of the overhead bridge
on Second street. She said that she
lets a tenement in her house, but
will be unable to keep the tenant
unless the whistling of the locomo-
tives there is stopped. She declared
that she could not sell the house .or
half what it is worth because OF
this disagreeable feature. THE wnis-
ties are ear-piercing and are some
thing terrible" she declared.
other witnesses who gave testl-
mony along the same line were Fred
H. Fuller, Judge George "A. SaHora'
and Harold C. Fuller OF Halloween
The delegation from Halloween IN
cluded a number of other property
owners who were ready to corrobo-
rate the statements given In the
matter.
Presenting the railroad companys
side of the case, Col. Fogg said that
the whistling of the locomotives Is
entirely for the protection of travel
on the highways and that it does not
serve as a warning for the gateman
to lower the gates. the gatemans
warning being given in an entirely
different manner. He said that tie
whistling post to which reference had
been made, is for the protection OF
the Central street crossing and not
for the Winthrop street crossing.
He spoke Of the change in the laws
relating to the whistling of trains
md said that the last Legislature re-
duced the distance Of any whistling
post from its crossing from so rods
to so rods. The whistling post In
question Is now located 60 rods east
of Central street.
1.-THE railroad company has no de-
sire to whistle at any particular
crossing but 1t must comply with the
laws and 1t feels there should be
adequate warnings for all crossings"
said Col. Fogg.
It appeared that there would be no
objection on the part of property
owners II this whistling post were
