Any of these are of course liable to be cut
off. But the Madawaska claims have already
had the approval of the Senate. as has also
the State College resolve; the Bangor Insane
Hospital has passed both House and Senate
on engrossment and lis only awaiting final
enactment; the repairs on the old Insane
Hospital are demanded on the score of hu-
manity if the work on the new hospital is to
be pushed as leisurely as is now contemplate
cd 1.-The Lewiston:people very anxious and
diligent to get their hospital; and the Augus-
ia people express themselves confident Of
getting the $135, 900 for the State House.

beyond its income much Orer half million
dollars in the next two years. The large
surplus left at the end of 1888 will be wiped
out. and in place of it will be a deficit of
more than 100000.

THE city affairs having been looked
into in various matters, a question it
seems has arisen concerning the
validity of the notes given by the
Mayor, each month for the running
expenses of the city. Some lawyer it
is said, has discovered that the notes
can not be collected, and that if any
citizen were to emulate Bolton s
temerity, and enjoin payment, there
would be very awkward compllca-
