the State was Tferd r1' Augusta on Wednesday
and Thursday, Jan. Is and IA. All the counties
were represented except Cumberland, Knox,
Somerset and Washington. Waldo county was
represented by Gooding Grant. Prospect, Hi
ram =. Farrow. East Belmont, and |. B.. Thomp-
son, Montyille. The kennebec Journal SAYS of
the commissioners They We're solid looking
men with business like air." The following
recommendations for legislation were made:
l. That workshops connected with the coun-
ty jails be abolished on the ground that they
are an unnecessary expense, and have not
complshed desired result of being reformatory
institutions.
>. To adopt regulation prison uniform.
3. To prohibit tobacco from being furnished
prisoners at the expense of the counties.
1. To make it obligatory for trial justices
and police judges TO furnish bond to pay all
fines in thirty days from collection, and faith
fully to perform all their duties.
Under the present law almost anybody can
obtain Trial Justice commission, whether or
not he. has sufficient property to secure faith
full discharge of the duties. There are at pres
ent instances in this State where Trial Justices
have never paid over fines collected, and. as
they have no property of their own it cannot
be collected of them. If Il bond We're required,
it is believed there would be Il less number of
such instances.
>. To fix amounts of certain ices which are
now left discretionary with the Commissioners.
&. To make the code of fines more clear.
:. TO amend the law for the collection of
taxes on all wild lands.
The meeting was very harmonious one and
will probably result in good. Some OF the rec
concentrations of the commissioners are con-
sidered TO be important and that it l. necee-
sarv that they should be adopted.
y committee was appointed by the chair to
present the matter of requiring bonds of trial
Justices, etc. to the Legislature.
