WATERVILLE

The sixth voting district, which | includes all of the Waterville and Fairmount sections of the city, went into the democratic column in yes- terday's election for the third time in nearly twenty years. A record vote was cast here as elsewhere in the city, l,544 voters registering their references in the booths at the Thomaston avenue fire station between the hours of 6 Q. m. and 6 D. m.
 This represents more than % per cent of the l,708 names appearing on the official lo36 list of voters. With such 6 high proportion of the voters at tEe polls the district would normally have gone into the repub- lican column by about 260 majority but the local voters swept along with the Roosevelt landslide which prevailed throughout the country and gave the president 8i0 votes to 825 for Landon. Jurge Slavin, candi- date for reelection aS judge Of pro- bate, the office which he has ad- ministered most satisfactorily for many years, received the highest number of votes cast for any candi- date in Waterville. HIS total was 84i votes to Attorney SweeneyS 6l2.
 All other candidates ran behind the president. Senator Culhane, seeking reelection to the state Sen- ate from the 18th district, defeated Coroner MonZani, 8i6 to 636. Con- gressman J. Joseph Smith, who was returned to Washington, held an BIO to 638 margin over J. Warren Up- son, chairman of the republican town committee. Governor Gross re- celyed 7oe votes to @ for Brown, and Mayor Hayes, who again Suc- ceeds to the ofiice of lieutenant goy- crnor, received 783 votes to 607 for LaVcry. John ThomS and Daniel Mahaney were returned to the house of the general assembly by votes of 8li and 8i0 respectively, their op.. ponents, Mortimer Calvin and Maurice Gruskay, receiving e36 and G33 votes. :.
 The union party, which received the sup. .,ort Of the local members or the National Union of Social Jus- tee, registered 74 votes
 Both major parties had well.or- ganized and effective organizations working all day as is evidence by the remarkable vote cast. William II. Dunlavey, whoh andled the dem ocratic organization and c. Arthur DuBois, the republican district lead CT, were agreed that every possible vote was cast before the polls closed. There was a steady stream Of voters at the machines throughout the day, with cars and party workers constantly combing the district. Thc number of voters who turned out efrly was most remarkable, indicat" ing the interest of the electorate and the determination of the ma jority of people to return the pres ent administration to another term.
 There were no disturbances at the polling place which was well-man- aged by the moderator, Joseph Me- Ardle. James Morrow was the deputy sgistrar. The checkers were: Robert Rose and Frank Carney; and the machine tenders, Thomas Doyle, stephen Greatorex, Joseph Caron and J. Lawrence Vibbert. Party checkers at the polling place were Vincent Leonard and William Cre- gan, sl

pension such as the Townsend Plan.
according to survey today by the
National Industrial Conference
Board.
In addition to placing the bur-
den of paying for such a system
upon those less able to support it,
the application of the 2 per cent
gross transactions tax. according TO
the report would bring about q
general paralysis" of the country's
production, trade and finance.
The report continued that the
plan would result in suspension and
bankruptcy of individual business
concerns, elimination of many lines
of business, reduced production and
trade, increased unemployment, i'm
poverishment of farmers, workers
and persons and institutions de-
pending upon fixed incomes, partial
destruction of all savings, insurance
and investments, increased labor
conflicts and class strife"

port said, would have found it i'm
possible to pay the Townsend tax
out of profits, either because they
had no net income or because net
income was less than per cent of
the gross.
The cost of government with the
plan in effect, the boards statis-
ticians estimated, would rise to $40.-
000,000000. This increase, they
added, could be met only by gen.
eral imitation of prices and depre-
citation in the value of money.

A decrease in receipts today at
the Indianapolis stockyards as we'll
as at surrounding livestock centers
resulted in a general advance of Is
cents in porker prices Demand
also showed improvement over yes
terday.
Although the decrease in supplies
was only moderate at the local ex-
change a scarcity, especially in
hogs, was reported at nearby mar
kets. This was regarded as a strong
factor supporting the price in
crease Receipts were estimated at
1000. compared with 5000 on hand
yesterday. Holdovers numbered
215.
The top price paid for good and
choice weights again reached $10.85,
the highest level in three weeks.
The bulk of $50 to 225 pounds,
cashed in at SLOTS to $1085, while
medium heavies, from 225 to 200
pounds, brought $10.15 to $10.35.

The cattle market maintained a

IN COLD READY
FOR SHIPMENT
Treasury Releases Huge
Stock as u. S. Dollar
Breaks Further.
By RICHARD L. GRIDLEY
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Fed
eral government prepared today to
part with good portion of its huge
$40, 182, 246,742 monetary gold stocks
to keep the American dollar from
falling below par in world markets.
Persistent imitation talk, with
consequent shifting of funds to
Europe, has sent the dollar to 1905
cents of par in relation to the
French franc. At this level it was
profitable for American banks to
buy gold from the Treasury with
deprecated dollars and ship it to
France and Holland for sale.
The decline in the dollar sent
three gold shipments aggregating
Sc, 100000 to France and one
amounting to $365,000 to Holland.
More shipments are expected should
the dollar continue depressed. Al
though officials doubted an extend
ed flow of gold out of the United
States, the outward movement
aroused considerable discussion in
financial circles. Fears of possible
currency initiation legislation by
Congress were believed instrumental
in causing movement of credit to
Europe.
New Board Meets Today
An extended movement of gold to
Europe would be welcomed in many
quarters. The export of the metal
would tend to re-establish foreign
monetary reserves and hence aid in
restoration of world prosperity. 1t
also would wash away part of the
huge American hoard which threat
ems to form the base for an Ameri-
can credit initiation along with a
possible currency initiation.
The outward movement of gold
conceded with the initial meeting
today of the new Board of Cover
norS of the Federal Reserve System,
which is charged with broad powers
to prevent a runaway credit inf1a-
ton by restriction of credit.
Gold has moved into the United
States in every month except Sep
TENDER, 1884, over the last two
years. The loss in that month was
only $18,670,000, leaving net gain
in American gold imports over the
last two years of more than 49,
000,000,000.

But no one is going into the bust
ness of erecting low-cost houses.
The lending plan may help the

for the poorer group.
About the higher income group,
we need not trouble ourselves so
much. AS soon as the need is sui

sponsored or financed by the gov
eminent which will make money
available on mortgages at low rates
of interest to home builders.
There ought to be no controversy
between the two groups. They are
aiming st wholly different purposes.
In this country we may roughly
divide homes into two large CLASH
fications. One class includes houses
for those who can pay $25 month
or more rent. The other group
includes all those who can not
afford to pay that much.
TT has been demonstrated that
Il under modern conditions it is
impossible to build decent homes
for the second class at profit.
The first group is the one which
has been occupied by the private
building industry.
Today the country needs houses
in both classes. The depression
has almost completely paralyzed
the private home building industry.
Therefore, few houses have been
built in the last five years. Mean
time the population has increased
and hundreds of thousands of
homes have been destroyed by fire
or otherwise and have fallen into
oosolescence. There is a need for
such houses. The private building
industry has already begun to
erect them.
The low-cost group, however. is
in a much more desperate situa-
ton. 1t was in bitter need OF
homes before the depression began.
The need is greater now. But no.
body is going to build any houses
for this group.

very carefully, Mr.. Chanin laid down
the. queen of hearts, his reason be-
ing that, in spite of the fact that
his partner had asked for Q club
lead, South had been perfectly will
ing to bid the slam, and hence must
be well prepared for q lead Of that
suit. At the same time. North's heart
one-bid might well have indicated the
ace and one.
After the heart opening, South had
no play for the slam contract, since he
had to lose trick in that suit and
club. But with q club opening he
would then have discarded o losing
heart before the ace had been knocked
out.
It Is also worthy of note that the
slam in diamonds was an absolute
laydown, even with . heart opening.
since North would be able to discard
losing heart on dummy's long spade.
