The Council granted q hearing ve.,erd.v
on the mstter Of appointing special consta-
oies in Cumberland county for the better en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law. petition
was read, signed by Hon. w. w. Tboma,
OF Portland, and about forty others. asking
Tor the appointment of four special constables
No one appeared in favor Of the petitioners.
Hon. c. F. Libby, Sheriff Isaac ID. SAWYER
NJ. r. Frank, and Deputy Sheriff B. F.
Andrews, all of Portland, appeared in re-
monstrance. The Council decided that,
although the petitioners were not rep
resented at this hearing, inasmuch
as the actions of the officers had
been called in question, if they desired.
they might state the facts in the case. Mr..
Libby then called upon Mr.. Andrews, who
stated that over $1,000 more had been
paid into the city treasury Of Portland from
liquor cases, in the eleven months Of the
current. year than during the whole of 1880 !:
and that the number OF seizures and
convictions far exceeded those made
in the county hast year. Hon. Joshua
Nye agreed with Mr.. Libby, that. as the
petitioners had not appeared personally to
advocate the appointment of constables and
show the necessity for those additional
officers, the Council should not recon-
mend their appointment. After thorough
consideration Of the matter, the following
report was submitted by the Council
After due notice to all persons interested,
by publication in the Portland Daily Press
and by personal service upon William w.
Thomas, Neal Dow, the Sheriff Of Cumber-
land County and the City Marshal of Port
land, from the Secretary of State, inquiry
has been made by the Governor
and Council into the representations contain
ed in said petition. according to the provis-
ions of Sec. 4, chapter 247 Of the public laws
Of 1880; and in their judgment. from all the
evidence produced, said representations are
not well founded and therefore report that
the petitioners hare ieare to rithdyar.
Petitions from Penobscot and Somerset
counties, for the appointment Of constsbles,
were laid on the table for the present. A
deputy sheriff will probabl, be appointed in
the latter county.
