For some time past the Joint Committee Of the
Common Council, appointed to in yestigate the af-
fairs Of the various departments to egualize sal
aries have been collecting Information on the SUBJ
ject. They have found mat the salaries Of the
chief clerks OF various courts larger than their
services would justify, and that the number of SUBJ
ordinate clerks and court attendants could be re-
duecd some fifty per cent without detrmcnt to
the public business. The committee has also as
certained that the expenses Of various depart
ments can be reduced, and that prompt
action on the subject will result in saw
ing very large amount to the city. But
the committees powers are merely OF sugges
tive or recommendatory character. In some In
stances the number OF employees and the amounts
paid to them are fixed either by statutes, ordl-
nances or heads Of departments The committee
will continue 10 meet until prepared to report on
the whole subject. The committee consists OF Al
dermen McCanerty chairman). Ottendorfer and
Billings, and Assistant Aldermen Clancy, KehOe
and Healy. MIR. Francis j. Tuomey was appointed
clerk.
In the course of the discussion it was decided to
begin with the Dock Department, next with the
Department OF Buildings, then with the Fire De-
partment.
Alderman MCCAFFERTY said the appropriation
for the Department OF Buildings had been in
creased from $40, 900 in 1872 10 s1l0 900 in 1874

rodpole that he might destroy the proof of
his guilt, but it was not to be found He
could not understand where 1t had gone,
but when he appeared in court, there that
ghost of a rodpole met his astonished
view. How it came there none but Calvin
know, and he was silent The case was
soon tried, and a verdict of guilty was
rendered, with nominal damage and costs
OF coert. This, with the advantage Of his
enemy and the whitening rcbuke of the
lawyers, was a terrible reuibutiOn for
poor John. But more was vet in store.
Rodman saw by the evidence at court that
he had been cheated out OF one hundred
feet of ditch actually dug, SO he COM
menced suit against John. Again came
the sheriff, again he went to court, and
again he received the cold cuts Of the at
torneys and the sneers of the people, with
the verdict of guilty, and the order of full
pay to Redlnan and costs Of court.

nearly all the actors have long since set

To the Honorable Senate ana House Of Representa-

bled.
WE, the undersigned, residents of Palermo in
w the County Of Waldo respectfully represent
that we reside in the town of Palermo, the east
erly side of the Sheepscott River and Pond, and
bounded by Liberty on the North and East and the
road leading through said tract territory of land
leads. directly to Liberty Village where do most
OF our business OF trade, such as store bills &c. or
most convenient place OF milling is in Liberty and
such like business. Also their town-house is on the
same road leading to place of trade, which is Il
easy, level road to travel any time OF year tur
town house in Palermo where all town meetings and
elections are held, is eight miles OF more, and hard
hilly road to travel. So at our annual town meetings
without fine day and a favorable time it is almost
impossible to attend town meetings and there are
several of said petitioners that now own real estate
in the town Of Liberty, which makes it very illcon
yenient many times to go into different districts to
work out their highway taxes that it would be for
our interest and Onyenence and very gratifying TO
wishes, that the following described real estate
be set OFT from the town of Palermo and annexed to
the town OF Liberty, to wit Beginning on the
Easterly side of the Sheepscott River and Liberty
line where 1t crosses said river thence the side
OF said river and pond to the mouth of Little River
near Iron Ore Point thence on said river and Mud
Pond to Palermos south line thence on said line to
the southeast corner of Palermo and Washington
line; thence on Washington line to land owned BY
Peter Nj. Lenfest, thence westerly ON Washington
line and Peter NJ. Lenest to the highway near James
S. Glidden's; thence on the highway to land owned
by Charles 7. Cove; thence on said Cove to the
northwest corner of land owned and occupied by
Peter NJ. Lenfcst to Washington line thence north
easterly on the line between Washington Liberty
and Palermo to the angle of Liberty line where if
intersects with the Wad line; thence northwestern
on the Liberty line to the place of beginning. We
therefore respectfully pray your Honorable body that
the above described territory may be off from the
town of Palermo and the same be annexed to the
town OF Liberty. And as i'll duty bound will ever
