| Resolve in favor of road leading from Fish
river Mills to Daigle Mill, Township Me-, IL
Range 6. Aroostook county, came up on Its
! first reading.
Mr. HATCu of Bangor said this was Sc
ries of resolves that come in here every year
| from AroostOOk county, u county to-day bet
ter able to take care of its roads and bridges
than any other county in the State. lie
thought it well to look into these matters
early, and if it should prove that this meas
ure was meritorious, he would make no OBJ
lection to it. But lie desired to hear some
reasons why it should pass.
Mr.. DIcKEY of Fort Kent explained the
nature of the road, its location, and the cir
cumstances under which it was built. The
land committee were unanimous in reporting
an appropriation of 500 to repair the road
| to make it passable.
| Mr. HATCH replied that it was the same old
story of the hardship of ArOostoOk county,
rehearsed to the House year after year. If
the resolve must pass he desired an amend
ment so that the money shall be expended
under the direction of the county commits
sioners, and he made motion accordingly.
Mr.. DicKEY had no objection to the amend
ment
The amendment was then adopted and the
resolve passed TO its second reading.
Resolve in favor of the EoultOn and
Barring road across Indian Township and
Grand Lake stream road, in Washington
county, came uD on its passage to be en-
crossed.
Mr.. PERRY called attention to the fact that
the resolve called for $500 for Arocstook
county. He thought ArOostook as able TO
pay for its roa1s as any county in the State.
Mr.. FARRELL of Van Buren, said the road
was not in Areostook county. but in Washing
ton.
Mr.. PowEns of IIoulton. said it leads across
the Indian township in Washington equity.
AroostooA should bear no more burdens than
necessary.
Mr.. HATCH of Bangor inquired as to the ne
cessity Of the appropriation.
Mr.. GILMAN of Medlybemps. explained that
the road leads across the Indian township
which belongs to the Indians, and it belongs
to the State to maintain. The appropriation
is for repairs.
Mr.. FARRELL of Van Buren,. said the town.
ship had been decided to the Indians. and is
held for their benefit by the State. 1t must
be kept in repair, and hence the appropriation.
The resolve was then passed to be engross-
ed.
Resolve in favor of Eugene Michaud came
up on its passage to be engrossed.
Mr.. HATCH of Bangor, said he understood
this resolve had been considered by the House
last year and was indefinitely postponed. 1t
was an old matter. and if il had had anv mer-
1t In it, would have been settled long ago. Ii
was simply an opening of the door to another
resolve on the table requiring an expenditure
of 81 100 to quiet the titles Of some settlers in
AroOstoOk county. He moved to indefinitely
postpone.
Mr.. DicKEr Of Fl. Kent opposed and ex.
planned that the resolve last winter passed
both branches: but that in his absence a gen.
fleman in fit Of vindictiveness to him had
called 1t up and got it indefinitely postponed
without the House knowing much about it,
He also explained that the resolve called for
