80 upon that protect the names Of my
brother Hersey and brother 6wasey,
who are promlnent practitiouers and In
active practice. ! also - upon it the
name Of the clerk Of courts, who v not
allowed, by the statute, % practice
while be holds that position. do not
go the names OF the majority Of the
thlrty-eight. A tho protest comes
before you, you can examine IL and 80
Tor yourselves.
Now, you could not very well 20 on
and make repairs this winter you could
not make nrc-proof vaults, or anything
Of that kind. You must walt until the
warm weather comes 10 order TO do that.
You have time 70 take the verdict OF the
people Of the county an then act under
standingly, and believe that that will
Be your Judgment. Ibelieve that, II it
were matter personal to yourselves,
that n your own interests wero at stake,
you would say, erect the new and
modern buildings at South Paris, and 10
entertaining that belief, have conf
dence that you will submit the question.
Now these remonstrants do not ask
that the question shall not be submitted
to vote OF tho people Of the county.
They have protested against the 70
moval. know, and almost every man
who has heard this matter discussed and
talked about knows, and 1t must be Q
mstter within your own knowledge ~
citizens of this county,-for 1t 10 I'm.
possible for q man to travel up and
down the county and not hear this thing
discussed more or less-that quite
large proportion Of the people who have
signed these remonstrances want the
question submitted to vote OF the peo-
pie OF the county and take their senti-
mcnt upon It. They did not sign
the circumstances with the Idea
that Il was not to DO submitted to
the people. They want It done. !
have myself heard people who have
signed the circumstances make that re-
mark with the past three days, aud i
have no doubt but that you gentlemen
OF the Commission have also heard the
some thing. The thlrty-two hundred
names which they say they have upon
the circumstances do not represent the
will Of the people upon that question,
and you will hnd, II you submit the
question to the people, that the "sn0w
OF ballots" which will come on the 9th
of March will bear me out In what i
say.
Now promised you that would de-
tain you but very short time. | might
talk an hour upon this matter; II IL q
tempting subject Ia these days OF I'M
provement and modern invention. or
course We should like to have the coun-
ty buildings located at South Paris for
the convenience which modern Improve
ments suggest, anu we believe that we
shall get them; but I do not wish tn
weary you, and will leave the question
where 1t Is.
Judge wilson, will simply say this
much In regard to the matter, not know
Ing what your judgment may be. IL
you should decide to submit the ques-
ton to the people, and Il should be
necessary for you to determine where
you would locate the buildings, II you
will inform me, or some other party,
should like to show you some OF the
locations. This Ia upon the suppositi0n
that your Judgment may be that way. l
know nothing Of what your Judgment
may be.
The Commissioners then adjourned to
meet sgain at Paris Hill In one
week, on Thursday, the 10th Inst,
when their decision will be announced.
