MR.. HALE'S COMMITTEE.
Looking Into the Bills of Garcelon's Ad-
nainistration

Geo. G. Stacy, ex-State Librarian, appeared
before Mr.. Hale's committee Tuesday and tes-
tilted that the salary of his Office was 5000, and
in addition to this the librarian has always
been allowed 5000 extra for sending away State
documents. When Mr.. Stacy became libra
rian he found that very many books which
should have been forwarded during the wear
1878 were still in the library for one reason and
another. During the year he forwarded these
and charged $50 additional for the increased
work. The annual appropriation of $500 for
the purchase of books was paid him and he
expended this at his leisure during the year
without presenting any bill OF particulars, and
at the end of the year had on hand of the
amount $47.46.
Among the items charged in one of Mr.
Stacy's bills were several volumes of papers
which he had on hand of his own, but which
he furnished the State and charged therefor
was one for 1922 worth of postage stamps
bought of the postmaster in Boston. These
Mr. Stacy explains as used in transporting doc.
uments, as under the present postage law it
could be done through the mails at half the
cost of express charges The regular contract
prices have always been arranged with the
express companies, and Mr.. Stacy states that
some years as high as $1700 have been paid fol
transporting documents. Mr.. Stacy requested
the privilege of denying that he had ever had
anything to do with any election returns dur
ing the past year as he had heard stated.

Getchell of Augusta, who testified that about
