An ether Curiosity.
Another curiosity of legislation is found in
a resolve which was killed during the past
week. In aid of the town Of Frenchyille. The
town wanted $50 out of the state treasury
to help it in repairing bridge. The state
ment of facts accompanying the
resolve showed that two loads
of hay aud horse had fallen
through the bridge and that it was a very
dangerous place. especially to strangers. 1t
was further stated inasmuch as the town
had recently lost $4,000 by fire it could not
afford to raise the $3.50 to repair the bridge.
This appeal led some members to examine
into the towns relations with the state and
they found that from the mill tax and school
fund, Frenchville receives annually 2,466 "a.
1t pays back into the treasury as its share of |
the state tax $246.19. leaving balance of |
$2,220.05 in favor of the town. 1t would |

standing the towns loss by fire, the horse |
and two loads of hay, that it might mana ge
to squeeze out of its resources cash enough |
to make its bridge safe.
