Proposed Reduction of
Highway Dep’t. Wages to
Be Brought Up In June
Original Report of Committee Passed
by Only One Branch of City Gov
ernment Monday Evening—Work
Authorized on Streets and Side
walks
The proposed reduction in the pay
of men now in the employ of the city
highway department from $3.75 to $3
per day, and for teams from $7 to $G
per day was not passed by both
branches of the city council at thp
Monday evening meeting. It appeared
that the aldermen and the councilmen
had different views as to just how this
order should read, and as no agree
ment was reached the matter was put
over to the June session.
The original order which had been
introduced by Alderman Sturgis Ran
dall provided that a revision of
wages in the highway department be
immediately adjusted so that the pre
vailing rate shall not exceed that paid
by the State highway department and
private corporations for similar work.
At the rate of $3 per eight-hour day
for men and $6 for teams, the wages
would be substantially the same as
paid by the State highway department
1 for a nine-hour day.
' The committee on salaries and fees 1
to whom the order was referred, re
ported Monday evening that the wages
be so adjusted to take effect May 33,
1921, the committee unanimously
agreeing to fix the wages for men at
$3 per eight-hour day and for teams
at $6 per eight-hour day. This re- i
port was accepted by the aldermen \
and was sent down to the common j
council for concurrence.
In that branch an amendment was ]
made providing that all the wages of ■
labor employes In the highway depart- j
ment be cut 15 per cent. The board of j
aldermen refused to accept the amend- j
ment and the report went back to the j
cquncll. The council desired that a ]
committee of conference be appointed. I
but the aldermen voted to lay the
matter over to the next meeting. To \
this the common council did not agree j
but sent the report back with a sec
ond amendment providing that all la- |
bor employes, including teams, in the i
highway department be cut 15 per
cent. The report with Us second
amendment will/be brought before the
aldermen at the next meeting of the
city government.
A large amount of work on the
streets and sidewalks of the city was
authorized at the meeting in the re
ports of the Joint standing committee
on highways and sewers. Order intro- I
duced by Alderman Howes that the j
sidewalk on the west sido of North
Chestnut street be repaired and put
in good safe condition, was referred
to that committee with power to act.
By the reports of thib committee
which were accepted in concurrence, ,
repairs will be made on the sidewalk i
from Pearl street through Quimby '
street, on the sidewalk on the east side !
of Summer street, on the sidewalk on ■
Oak street nearthe residence of Frank !
Hewing. The sidewalk on the north !
side of Wlnthrop street between iWn- i
ter and Prospect streets will be re- !
built with concrete, and a sidewalk
will be built on the west side of Wil
low street from the southerly end of
the W. H. Gannett publishing house i
to Cony street.

juring him. It was thought last night
that the victim had suffered a broken
leg and other injuries. Marshal Bacon
brought the man to the police station
after a hard encounter and locked
him up. After landing his man Mr.
Bacon, in company with Special Offi
cer Melvin Clement, went’ for the car
and brought it also to City hall, where
upon looking it over the fact was
brought to light that some 50 quart
bottles of liquor labeled “Black and
White Old Scotch Whiskey” were neat
ly packed away in the rear ofthe car.
Mr. Bacon Immediately got in touch
with Sheriff Harwood at Augusta, who
at once came to the scene accompanied
by his son. Deputy Francis Harwood.
After some consultation with the mar
shal the care and its contents were
taken to the county jail at Augusta
No little excitement was caused
among the spectators who had gath
ered to watch proceedings when three
automobiles, two large touring cars
and a runabout, appeared opposite
City hall at this time. Sheriff Har
wood, sensing that something might
be in the wind, made a thorough
search of these cars, which was done
in a courteous manner. Besides the
drivers, the cars were occupied by a
number of women and children and
bore number plates from Nova Scotia.
tA occupants stated that they were
returning home from a winter’s so
journ in Florida. Sheriff Harwood
found nothing of an incriminating na
ture and allowed them to go on their
way.
The booze car carried a. number
plate of the state of Massachusetts,
number 65,214.
At the county Jail las^ evening
Sheriff Harwood was working on the
case until a late hour. From the
evidence gained by investigating the
contents of some personal effects car
ried in a leather traveling bag. It Is
thought that the man is one H. E.
Pryor. Among the effects was aji ac
count book containing the names of
Emmonds Hurd • and Fred Locke.
There were also several envelopes
and letter heads from Clark’s Hotel
at Houlton. >' There were bill heads
with the name of Pryor & Currier and '
a letter head Pryor's Employment
Agency. There was also In a pocket
book a Maine registration card for a
Ford touring car bearing the number
18,182 made out to Herbert E. Pryor
of Houlton. Sheriff Harwood is of the
opinion that this is the Identical car
with changed body and number
plates.
Commenting, on the affair the’ sheriff
is quite positive that he has seen
