Deputy Enforcement Commissioner Maxime Beaulieu was taken ill suddenly Monday forenoon with an attack of indigestion. Officer Beaulieu was preparing to attend the session of the Lewiston Municipal Court when he became ill. He at once went to a drug store but as his condition grew rapidly worse, he was removed to his home in a carriage. Last evening, he was more comfortable and it is thought that he will be confined to the house but a few days.

The Lewiston Board of Health and Welfare last night received a petition complaining of a soot condition in the vicinity of a Lisbon Street hotel.

The petition claimed that an incinerator operated at the rear of La Maisonnette Hotel resulted in soot getting into nearby houses and onto clothes hanging out to dry. The petition was filed for further study.

Frank Iovieno believes marching band competition is making a comeback.

And he should know. He has directed Lewiston High School’s marching band for four first-place awards in Class C competition this fall.

That’s quite an accomplishment considering that only 19 of the 50 members of Lewiston’s marching band play instruments. The rest make up the drill and flag team and center guard.

Lewiston has received recognition in four catagories this year. The band has won awards four times for best music and best color guard, and three times for best percussion and best drum major.
