to send a resolution proposing sine

uart had furnished and also of the
Hallowell folder. They have been
placed in the Maine publicity bureau
at the kittery end of the bridge, at
the State House and in various other
PAGES advantageous for publicity. He
then introduced the speaker, Paul
Dudley Sargent, referring to the de-
gree recently conferred upon him by
the University of Maine.
Mr.. Sargent began by a compli-
mentary reference to William Rum
nells of Hallowell, bookkeeper in the
State Highway Department lie
spoke of the Importance and cost of
the work on highways throughout
the country. From the general
questions of highways, he turned to
conditions in the State of Maine.
Twenty-Five years ago the State ap-
propriated $4,000 for highways. Now
the towns appropriate $599,000 and
the State S740.0D0, making a total of
Sl,339,000 for the past year.
The department was organized in
1913, and began to build roads In
1914. Its work has increased rapidly.
Mr.. Sargent explained the three de-
partments, State roads, State aid
road, and thRd class roads. He was
clear. direct, and practical, illustrat-
ing by local references each point.
He showed the amounts of State aid
available for towns and how it is al
loted.
Mr.. Sargent explained the way IN
which the State obtains the money
to carry on this work He showed
the way in which bond issues are ar
ranged for and taken up and how the
automobile license money is applied
to paying the interest and taking UP
the principle of the various issues.
Maintenance work also had a part in
his explanation. No one who heard
Mr.. Sargent's remarks could fail to
realize the scope of the work the
State Highway Department, its diff
ficulties. and problems, and the
value Of the Eesults reached. The
