Opposition To The Auburn Water District Augusta, Feb. 21-Judge Harry Manser Auburn presented the reasons why the people of that town were asking the creation of water district. It would constitute no change, he said for the ordinary citizen as the system of water supply in Auburn was now conducted as a public function. There were, however, serious detects in the plan of operation, In 1895, he told the committee, the Auburn Water commission was created. This was before the present plan of water districts.

While it was designed to eliminate bills contracted commission from the city debt, decisions by the supreme court had held that this was not an accomplished measure. It was necessary, he said, for the commission to make extensive developments to meet the demands of the city for water service. Already it had borrowed 000 for this purpose, but it would require more money to do it and, in order to accomplish this the water district plan seemed the most feasable. The bill he said, followed the same lines as did other water district laws of the State. The city council of Auburn favored the bill, stated Judge Manser and he read the record of a vote taken by that body on Tuesday night.

A. F. Warren of the commission stated that the commissioners all favored the change and regarded it a8 a good business proposition the city. Councilman George C. Bolduc of the city council stated the position of that body as being in 1a- vor, There was no opposition to the bill.

BAXTER SUGGESTS BILL FOR SIMPLE AND UNIFORM MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTING: Augusta, Feb. Gov. Baxter today sent a message to the lature saying that during the past two years of his administration as Governor he has become much interested in the question of municipal accounting. "At my request, the State auditor has made a survey of the various methods of accounting nOW in vogue in the towns and cities of the State," continues Gov. Baxter in his message.

"The State auditor reports to me that the accounting many of our municipalities is wholly inadequate to meet present day requirements. The bookkeeping of States, counties, cities and towns should be in as simple form as possible, so that citizens may understand the public: business, for unless citizens do so understand. they cannot an intelligent part in public affairs. "It also is important that the bookkeeping methods of cities and towns should be uniform in order that comparisons may be made, for only by comparing can the citizens of one community determine whether or not their public officials are doing their work satisfactorily. "At my suggestion the State auditor has drafted a bill making it optional with the municipalities within our State to adopt a uniform system of.

accounting. I am transmitting to you herewith the auditor's report above referred to to- GOULD'S ACADEMY WINTER CARNIVAL HELD BINGHAM GYMNASIUM EL AUSPICES Y. M. C. Bethel, Feb.

This question deserves your careful consideration.

I belleve we should do everything we can to stimulate the great body of our citizens to study and understand the financial statements of our State, county and, municipal governments.

To do this we must make these statements understandable. "It cannot be denied that in times past many public transactions that would not bear the light of day deliberately have been covered up by elaborate systems of bookkeeping, and complicated figures often have been used for sinister purposes.
