The communications received by the Gov
ernor and Council from different sources are
often,imes very grotesque and Ian ghable.
Recently an old gentleman wrote from Frank
fort that he resided in the lower story of a
house, while another party occupied the
chambers above. His neighbors, he said,
were in the habit of emptying filth out of
their windows much to his annoyance. and he
was DESTROYS that the Governor and Council
take some means to restrain them. The mat
ter was referred to the State Board of Health.
Another epistle came from the first select
man nj Waldo county town. This con-
tanned a statement that young man resided
in his town who was prscticing medicine,
but never having obtained diploma was I'M
able to collect his bills. 1t was represented
that there was no other doctor in the place
and the services OF the yong man were indis-
pensabe The town official was DESTROYS
that the Governor and Council arrange mat
tiers so that the young man could collect his
bills.

ANNUAL REPORT

FREDERICK Robe.
BY the Governor.
ORAMASDAL SMITH,
Secretary of State

The annual report of State Land Agent
Packard for the year ending Nov. 80, 1884, is
published. From it obtain the following :
There appears to be misapprehension of
the law relating to Reserved Lands, or, as
they are sometimes termed, Public Lots, "
or School Lots" Judgment has been rem
dered in favor of the plantation in the case
for the recovery of stumpsge of timber cut
on reserved lots in Cyr Plantation o. II. %.
Another suit Is pending TO recover ray for
timber and bark cut on reserved lots in Silver
Ridge Plantation, which will probably be
trl, Il at the April term of court in Bangor.
The care and custody of the Reserved
Lands" or, "a they are sometimes termed,
"School Lands," devolves upon the Land
Agent. The officers or plantations. in some
instances. think and act ~ though these lands
were At their disposal. They have, without
auth otry. sold the timber from these lands
and used the proceeds for plantation pur-
poses
In 1924 the Legislature of Maine passed
law from which the following abstract is
made "And in all cases where lands have
been granted or reserved tor the use of
schools in any town within this State, the fee
IN which land is not already otherwise invest
ed, the same shall be, and is hereby declared
Ia be invested in the Inhabitants Of such town
for the use and support Of schools therein
foreper.
In a suit brought by the State against Cut
Ter, Maine Reports, vol. l6, page $40, where
trespass upon reserved lands was alleged it
would appear from the decision of the court,
that these lands were reserved for perpetu-
nj fund "tor the use and support of schools. "

STAT. of Nsine never owned any part of these
lands ard consequently cannot sell or give
them away, bu Is y gnlr'iian or trustee for
the securit> oi fho.e wa" may be entitled to
the benefit" Ii appears TO be well settled by
law. and sustained bv the court, that the
State shall have the care and management of
these lands (for the benefit of those for
whom they were reserved) until the township
in which tn v lie, is incorporated into a
town.
