SEWER HEARINGS HELD LAST NIGHT
Long Suffering District to Get Relief-St Mchaels
 Win

Important hearings on the con- struction of important sewers in the Waterville section were held at last nights meeting of the board of commissioners of public works. The proposed sewers are to be laid for the relief of the serious condi- ton which has existed for some time in the rear of the Haase street tenements. The area is honey-combed with cess pools which have long since been |in operative due to the fact that the ground cannot absorb the waste.
 The plan calls for the laying or A sewer in Haase street, full length from Driggs street to Sheffield street: in sheffield street from Haase street to Thomaston avenue, an din Thomaston avenue, from Driggs street, south to Homer street where connection will be. made with the lateral emptying into the northern terminal of the trunk sewer at Huntingdon avenue. =.
 Without two exceptions all property owners were in favor of the project, realizing that it is not only necessary, but has been or dered by the board of health. One obpector was the Blake & Johnson Manufacturing Company. The Sco- will Manufacturing Company reg istered in favor pointing out that they seek to protect the unusually pure supply of drinking water obs tained from wells on the property of the Plumbers Brass Goods Division, formerly the American Pin Company. Its sanitary enSin- eers report that the water is at present unimpaired and will prob- ably remain so far the next few years. If the nuiscance at Haasc street were permitted to continue the wells might be contaminated in a few years so it is felt that the sewage disposal plan should be pushed now before bad situation develops.
 The sewer construction will de- finitely relieve a health hazard at Haase street which might at any time precipitate a serious epidemic since so many properties are eX- posed to the danger of infection.
 Some property owners from Driggs street were present inNir- ing as to the reason no hearings had been called for that street. It developed. however, that no Driggs street petition had been filed with the board.
 St Michael Wins.
 St Michael won another game in the Catholic Parish league on Monday evening. defeating St Peter and Paul at Hamilton Park, Az. The victory enabled the local teams to maintain clean slate In the second half series. Blein pitched excellent ball allowing but three hits, flaming eight men and keep. ing his opponents scoreless until the next to the last inning. His mates reached Connor for nine hits including a double by flyers and triple by Bouley.

Oiling of streets on the outskirts of the borough as well as few longer streets of the borough will be oiled under the supervision Of Deputy State Highway Comm1s- sioner Henry Schildgen it was de- cided at last nights meeting of the board of warden and burgesses. The other streets in the borough will be oiled under the supervision of Superintendent of Streets Victor Anderson.
 The streets designated to be oil- ed under the supervision Of MT Schildgen are Rubber avenue from Bridge to Henry Bradley's corner, Spring street from Anderson street to the town town, City Hill street, Maple Hill road, Allerton Farms road, East Waterbury road. Cross street, Walnut street, Carroll street and Millville avenue. It is figured that the work of oiling these long streets can be done by the state highway department cheaper than by the borough.
 The meeting last evening was tame with the exception of an out burst started when several young men complained to the board that they were unable to get work with the street department and thought they should be given something to do to earn some money to keep them from starving. Warden Whit temore stated that all of the cases were thoroughly investigated be- fore anyone was put to work. He said that the reason they were not put on was through the Tact that other cases were more needy.
 Burgess Daniel Callahan inquired from the warden why Americans were not given preference. over for eigners as workmen for the street department. Burgess Callahan said in going around he found there are many aliens working on several borough projects and though citi- gems should be given preference.
 Warden Whittemore stated he had heard rumors that aliens are favored but this was false. Every effort is being made the warden said to give work to those most in need and especially those who have back taxes to pay.
 Burgess P. August Johnson though tthe drivers of trucks and borough foremen should do some work instead of sitting around idle. The truck drivers Burgess Johnson said stand around and wait for their trucks to be filled. Condi- tions have changed he said and he thought the drivers icotfld take a hand in loading.
 The Grove street burgess said he could not see any reason why the foremen could not turn in and give hand. Burgess William Noble contended that the foremen should be supervisors and not workmen.
 Burgess Johnson took the street department to task for not having repnirs made where the bank was washed out on North Church street promptly. The delny he said had aostt he borough many dollars. roard members agreed with Bur. Rayn Johnson that great amount ef money would have been saved lf i'm hrenk and wnah0ui had been rennired immediately.

Courts Decision In Carangelo Case
 Sets Precedent
Dr Moriarty Highly Praised in Finding of Supreme Court of Errors Which Upholds $4,OOO Verdict Given ll-Year-Old Boy Against Cheshire Farm Owned By Judge Peasley

Dr James L. Moriarty, who treat ed the boy and who testified on tho stand during the course of the trta was highly praised in the supreme courts decision. He was highl. complimented for his standing 1T the community and for his record during a practice of over 30 years His long period of attendance or ,the boy was also alluded to favor ably by Justice Hinman.
 The new law laid down regard ing reputable doctors and sur geons' testimony concerning cost! for services is as follows:
 ''It has been held that it is not sufficient to show the amount of the charge for such services without other evidence as to their value. Note 19 l.. R. A. (N. S.) 920; 17 c. J. p. 917. However, we regard as preferable the rule that proof of the expenses paid or incur red affords some evidence of the value of the services, and if unreasonableness in amount does not appear from other ' evidence or through applica- tion of the trier's general knowledge of the subject matter, it's reasonableness will be presumed This accords with the general practice in trials in this state and is fair as we'll as practicable; it Is only in exceptional cases that the reasonableness of physicians charges as an element of dam- age in negligence cases is questioned or open to question, and in such cases the adverse party may offer evidence on that point.

Also, evidence of the nature and extent of the services rendered and of the standing experience and ability of the physician not only is an important aid in de- termining the reasonableness of his charges, but also may serve to repel suspicion of col .lusive charge of 8 speculative
 fee which sometimes has been regarded as Q purpose for re- quiring specific proof of reason- ableness. The court was cor rect in not withdrawing the expense of medical and surgi- cal treatment from considera- tion as an element, of damage"

"FIsHERMEN'S PARADISE"

Unknown to many Key Westers, the
Florida Keys. the last four or five years,
have been gaining continually their right
full title as the ''Fishermen's Paradise
How decided will be the gain when
the long bridges are constructed?
One persons guess is as good as
another's, but the guess of any of us prob
ably would fall short of what actually will
come to pass.
And, in dollars and cents. what would
it mean to the Florida Keys if 10000
,anglers-only a small number of the esti-
mated Is 5000, 900 in the United States
visited the keys from Key Largo to Key
West every winter?
Canada and many sections of this
country spend millions of dollars annually
in advertising to attract anglers to try their
luck in the waters there, because it is
known that much revenue is derived from
devotees of that sport.
The day will come, and it will be
hastened when the long bridges are con-
fstructed, when fishing for sport will bring
an income of millions of dollars to the
Florida Keys every year The millionaires
syndicate that is developing Anglers Park
at Key largo is aware of that fact and the.
day is not far off when we will BE- keenly
alive to it.

PRESS FREEDOM UP TO PUBLIC
(Jayhawker Press

insist that free press is matter in
which the people have deeper and more
vital concern than newspaper men them
selves. A wise people demand a free press,
not for the press sake, but for their own
sake-the sake of their liberties and their
perpetuity.
The newspaper men can go to jail or
go to digging bitches for a iving-when
this temporary setback to employment has
passed-but free people cannot exist
without full information as to what is trans
piring in the world, free expression of
opinion, and full and free discussion and
criticism of issues and policies. At the best
the elector can know all too little about the
momentous questions he is called upon to
decide; at the best the demagogue has too
great opportunity to delude and deceive. !
would not maintain that the American press
is today the great direct header in political
thought that it once was. It's function has
somewhat changed in the last 40 years. Its
mission today is to give facts as>fairly and
accurately as possible, to picture the back
ground, to give the public the basis upon
which to decide The newspaper is more
and more becoming witness rather than
special pleader. That is as it should be.
Whether this witness is free to tell the truth
depends upon the ethical standards of the
court in which it appears.
And that court is the court of public
opinion.
It's up to the public.

EXTREMES IN NATURE

An interesting listsof the extremes IN
natural substances was recently compiled
by Professor Hopkins of the University Of
Illinois, in which the following were
named:
Radium is the most expensive, being
worth about 100000 times its weight in
gold
Platinum is the heaviest of weiEknown
metals, being q times as heavy as water,
but the rare metals osmium and iridium are
slightly heavier.
Hydrogen gas is the lightest ordinary
substance, having only about one-four-
tenth the weight of air, but a temporary
gas produced in certain vacuum tubes Is
somewhat lighter.
Diamonds are the hardest substance
known, hut carborundum is almost as hard
Electric furnaces produce the greatest
heat known on earth, running up to nearly
Z 900 degrees Fahrenheit, while the ex'
IRENE in cold is solid helium and other
gases which solidify at about AS degrees
below zero. These extremes of heat and
cold are not natural, however, but are pro-
duced by artificial means.
