Gives Exposition
Of Map Reading
Before Guardsmen
What is a map?"

What is a map?"
That was the question that Capt.
Lester NJ. Hart. 43rd division staff.
asked of the members of Co. F.. 10Srd
Inf, Wednesday evening at the regu-
lar drill of the organization.
The question naturally created
some comment, but the proper an
swer proved simpler than many
thought.
"a representation of the earth s
surface" was the definition that Capt.
Hart gave Of a map" He then went
into a nontechnical discussion of
map reading with the great value
that map reading possesses for any
one.
with a map of the section of
country where he may be and COM
pass, said the speaker, there is no
reason why anyone should get lost.
Some knowledge of map reading
should be possessed by everyone,
whether he is a soldier of a civilian.
1t will always come in handy. The
ability to tell where one may be and
to recognize distinguishing features
of the country should be part of
everyone's training"
Capt. Hart devoted his time to a
plain exposition of the fundamentals
of map reading, arbitrary symbols,
orientation and the like. He followed
this by giving the members of Co. F
a few simple practical problems for
solution.

Wonderful Display
Of Northern Lights
Wednesday Evening

Though the Aurora Borealis or
Northern Lights" have been visible
many evenings during the past fall
and present winter, the display on
Wednesday evening as witnessed in
this city was one of the most re-
markable and beautiful which many
Augusta people ever enjoyed. Be-
sides the usual manifestations Of the
natural phenomena with the fingers
of eerie light reaching up into the
dome of the sky and wheeling across
the heavens, there was last evening
a kaleidoscope shift in colorings
which is seldom witnessed at this
latitude.

GRANT Revised
Rate SCHEDULE
WATER DISTRICT

| The Augusta water district has
filed with the Maine publict utilities
| commission revised rate schedule
which carries reductions on several
! classes of service, which on the basis
| of 1925 consumption, it is estimated
Will mean a total revenue decrease of
approximately $4,000. The petition of
the water district that the changes
be made effective March I, 1926 will
be granted by the commission.
The present rates of the water dis
| trlct We're fixed by the commission
after hearings and investigation, and
were made effective on June | 1924.
A study made by the commission Of
the application Of the rates for the
year 1925 demonstrates that some re-
visions may reasonably be made.
even though the water districts pro-
gram for extensions and other i'm
provements is undertaken and COM
plcted. s
The rate adjustments now pro-
posed have been carefully considered
and have been made to apply to such
services as appear to warrant special
consideration. One change calls for
a reduction from $500 to $500 per
sSti Ioi Tic lISI lduCGl installed In
dwellings, offices, stores, etc. For
private fire protection systems a re-
duction of 20 percent is to be made
in the present rate and will result in
giving private hydrant rental
charge of $4,000 per year, in lieu of
the existing rate of $500 per year
for each hydrant. Standpipes, in
stalled in buildings for fire protection
purposes will, under the 20 percent
reduction, be reduced from $500 to
$500 TO rthe ,1-inch and u inch: q
inch and 2h inch, from $1,000 to
$500; 3-inch. from $500 to $1,000;
and 4-inch. from $4,000 to $1,000
each per year.
For many years the rate for water
supplied to the Augusta state hospi-
tai and the State House has been
10 cents per 1000 gallons. 1t is now
proposed to reduce this rate to 9
cents per 1000 gallons
In so far as domestic and CONNER
cial mftered services are concerned.
no changes are to be made in tn con-
sumption rates, but it has been found
that the annual minimum charge
needs to be modified to the extent
that the present minimum of $1,000
for the 5-S inch or "a inch metered
services may also be increased from
$500 to $4,000 per year.
