DEATH of Ezra +. Beai, Esq.

Ezra +. Beal, Esq, OF Norway, died
ON Tuesday las, Dec. 18th. at o'clock Z.
NJ. He had tasted OF no nourishment
for about 20 days, and was consequently
much reduced. lie passed away very
quietly, and almost imperceptbly. We
find good sketch of his character and
life in the Portland Press. which we
copy:
For several months he has been in i'll
health. cloud having gathered over his
mental facilities in his latter days. Mr..
Beal was well known through the west
ern portion Of the State rs an active and
energetic business man. ut times having
large interests entrusted TO his good
judgment and practical experience. He
was, we think, native OF Norway, but
was for many years resident of Port
land He returned to his country home
some time previous to the year 1913. aud
resided there up to the time OF his death.
Mr., Bcal was on the original board OF
direction OF the Atlantic & ST. Lawrence
railroad. and it was in large measure
owing to hi, perseyering efforts that this
great enterprise was carried forward
to u successful completion. His ripe
judgment and clean foresight were &C.
knOwled9ed in Oxford county, and his
personal influence was the means by
which the people OF this city were in
duced to enlist so heartily in this mag
nihcent undertaking. As a director he
had especial charge of the construction
of the principal depots along the line
including the original wooden passenger
depot in this city, aud the present splen.
did brick and granite structure and OF
most of which he was the architect
He was also the builder of the Alpine
House at Gorham, n H., and superin
tendent Of the Falmouth Hotel. Brown:
Sugar House and Lancaster Hall, in
Portland Besides these works he bean
tilted the town of Norway with num-
Der OF elegant buildings.
In politics Mr.. Beal was an active
Wing, so long as that party existed, and
on its dissolution he became firm adj.
hercnt to the principle of the Republican
party. Mr.. Beal was Lifelong Univer-
salist, and firm supporter of that faith.
He was conspicuous in his devotion and

In accordance with the act OF Con-

vened Commission of eminent gentle
men to devise rules and regulations tor
the purpose of reforming the civil ser
vic Their labors are now complete,
and transmit herewith the report, to.
gether with the rules which are recon.
mended for my action. These rules
have been adopted. and will go into eff.
feet on the lst day OF January, 1872
Under the law referred 10. as | interpret
it. the authority is already invested in
the Executive TO enforce these regulations
with full power to abridge, alter or
amend them at his option when changes
may seem advisable.
These views, together with the report
of the Commissioners, are submitted for
Your careful consideration, as TO whether
further legislation may be necessary in
order 10 carry out an effective and beae-
fetal civil service reform. II left TO me
without further Congressional action,
the rules prescribed by the Commission
under the reservation already mentioned
viii be faithfully executed, but they are
not binding. without further legislation,
by my successors. Being DESTROYS of
bringing this subject 10 the attention of
Congress before the approaching recess,
have not time to sufficiently examine
the accompanying report To enable me 10
suggest definite legislative action to in
sure the support which may be necessary
in order TO give 4 thorough trial to a
policy long needed. | ask for all the
strength which Congress can give me TO
enable me 70 carry OF, the reforms in the
civil service recommended 10y the Com.
missioners and adopted to take effect, as
before stated, on Jan. lst, 1872.
The law which provides for the con-
vening of Commission to devise rules
and regulations for reforming the civil
service authorizes, think. the perma-
neni organization Of primary board,
under whose general directions all exam
nations of applicants for public Office
shall be conducted. A. there is no APP
preparation 10 continue such board be-
yond the termination of its present IA.
Jors, | therefore recommend that a prop.
er appropriation be made 10 continue the
services OF the present board for another
wear, and in view OF the fact that three
members OF the board hold positions in
the public services. which precludes
them from receiving extra compensation
under the existing laws, that they be
authorized 10 receive fair compensation
for extra services rendered by them in
the performance of this duty.
