/ Special assignment, House document No.
800, an act relating to the salary of the
State librarian etc, with amendments, was
taken from the table.
Mr.. Seiders of Cumberland went over the
bill section by section, and explained that
the resolve passed few DAYS ago did not
conflict with this act, that there was no
! double appropriation; that the salary of the
State librarian should be increased, as he
had now to perform the duty of the sending
out OF all the State reports, etc, which
! formerly was considered AS extra work and
paid for accordingly, and therefore if the
| Legislature left his salary at $1,000 il would
be in effect u reducing of his salary, for he
would have to perform the work
which he bal been getting Sl200 fr
| for the sum of $1,000, which would he man
| itcstly unjust. He further pointed out the
needs of the library in books periodicals.
etc, and said that at least one clerk was
absolutely necessary and that his salary
| should be $500 year. He then offered
Senate amendment C., striking out the las,
/ sentence of sec.
| Mr.. Hersey of Oxford then spoke against
| the raising Of this salary. saying that the
State could get many good men to take the
Office for $1,000 year.
| Mr.. Peaks of Piscataqus also spoke
| against the bill and pointed out the low
( salary paid to the librarian in the past, an1
the number of men who would be eager
/ and willing to take the position for $1,000 a
| year.
Senate amendment A was adopted.
| Mr.. Winslow of Somerset said that he
understood that this bill and resolve provid-
ed for an assistant librarian at $500 year,
u iocumental clerk at 500 year, and
raised the librarians salary.
| Mr.. Seiders explained that there was no
double appropriation, and that the assistant
librarian and the clerk were one and the
same. He then offered to move an amend
ment making the librarians salary 5000,
but thought it ought not to be made lower
than that.
