The editor of The Maine Sportsman had the pleasure of renewing acquaintance, the other day at the station in Bangor, with Frank Trump of Jersey Shore, Pa., who was on his way home from an outing in New Brunswick. Mr. Trump had a nice bull moose and six trout as trophies of his trip into the domain of the Canadians, all of which he left with the Crosby Co., for mounting. He reported that in a few days he heard some 55 or 60 different moose, 40 of which he saw and counted. He was unquestionably in a moose country.

A group of Auburn residents and businessmen Tuesday evening expressed tepid approval of construction of a two-way left turn lane on a section of Center Street to ease traffic and safety problems on that highway.

Lewiston-Auburn Comprehensive Transportation Study Director/Coordinator William C. Eaton presented three alternative solutions to the safety problems on Center Street between Turner Street and Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge.

The left turn lane would reduce conflicts and delays for drivers, improve access to businesses and homes on the street and have the lowest maintenance cost of the three alternatives, Easton said. However, the center lane would also increase the pedestrian walk distance and would case aesthetic problems, he added.
