Names Hillsides Are
Swathed In Flaming
Colorings OF Autumn

Those who really know Maine and
its scenic grandeurs have long con-
tended that the Autumn season is
Natures most munificent contribution
to this Playground Of the Nation"
and with foliage painted in unusually
brilliant colorings this year. 1t is to be
regretted that our million and more
summer sojourners cannot view their
favorite lakeside, seashore or noun
tain retreats FURNISHED in gold and
crimson, mantled with the bluest OF
heavens, and bathed in the ultra
clarified ozone peculiar to this season
of early morning hoar frosts.
On Monday a common topic of con-
versation amongst Capital City citi-
zens, who rolled over the hills and
through the woods on balloon tires
over the weekend, was the glorious
and lavish display OF vivid autumnal
foliage, which during this week is
probably at its ultimate best. Parti-
cularly in the upland sections may
this great pageant of bountiful Mo-
Their Nature be seen at its best. The
gold and bronze of the hardwoods has
not as yet begun to tarnish and the
fiame-shot hillsides are set off as I'M
der searching spotlights against the
mauve and purple and azure Of the
distant mountains.

SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR FOR WOMEN GIRLS
TAKES UP HER DUTIES AT AUGUSTA Y. N. c. A.
Judgment Decreed
For Defendant in
Law Court Rescript

Judgement for the defendant was
decreed in York county rescript
drawn by Justice Morrill, and which
was handed down on Saturday. The
rescript is in the case of the In
habitants of the town of North Bert-
wick VS.. the North Berwick Water
Company. 1t reads as follows:
The contract Of June 10, 1896, be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant
was a valid contract. 1t was rea-
sonable and fair, and for a reason
able length of time. 1t contained
reasonable working agreement for
the protection of the village of North
Berwick after the expiration of the
term, pending q new agreement or
arbitration.
The Act of 1923 establishing the
Public Utilities Commission did not
affect the validity Of that contract. or
any rates fixed therein; they re-
manned valid and binding until the
Commission should find them to be
unjust, unreasonable or insufficient.
The rates for the public service
were fixed by that contract and were
published as required by the Act. NO
change has been made in the rates
and charges for the public service so
published. They were, therefore, the
lawful rates and charges in force
during the municipal year of 1928,
and continue to be the lawful rates
and charges until changed.
BY the Act of 1928 any agreement
of the parties for an extension of the
contract for public service became
subject to the approval OF the COM
mission.
In case the parties fail TO agree
upon terms of removal which meet
the approval Of the Public Utilities
Commission, the authority Of the
Commission must supersede the pro-
vision for arbitration. Upon such
failure either party may make ap-
plication to that tribunal.
In making a determination of rea-
sonable rates for service. taxes, to
which the defendant is subject are
to be considered as part of its
operating expenses, and are not to be
regarded in part as a measure of
such rates.
Judgment for the defendant.
