cost of construction to the contrac-l
tors was $4.7,051.70, thereby making!
a loss to the contractors of $10,

This loss was occasioned in a

State Has No Liability
in Proposed Sewer
Attorney General Raymond W Fel
lows told the committee on Insane
hospitals at a hearing Friday after
noon that there was no legal obliga
tion on tlie part of the state to con
struct a sewer main connecting with
the Bangor State hospital. The re
| solve calls for an appropriation of $5,
000.
It was brought out at the hearing
that there might be a menace under
the present sewer arrangements to
the health and safety of the citizens
of Bangor, and Charles E. Smith of
Newport. oi»« of the hospital trus
tees, said that the trustees did not
oppose the construction of the sew
er. Mr. Smith said, however, that
there was nothing in the appropria
tion for the hospital for the coming
two years calling for an expenditure
for this purpose.
Attorney General Fellows later told
the committee that the state had a
moral obligation in his opinion to
build the sewer, as the failure to con
struct the new sewer might be a
serious matter.
