when Clarence Hale, Esq, will appear for
the road and Hon. +. w. Robinson in be-
half of Cumberland county. The hear
ing on the articles of association before the
railroad commissioners was vigorously
entered into by the attorneys, SO it seems
safe to say the matter of location will
receive their most careful consideration
and many fine law points will be brought
out. The hearing will be held at the
West End hotel in Portland.
Col. J. B. Peaks of the board of rail-
road commissioners, was in the city.

his home at Dover. He was at Norway

On the last list of nominations the
name of j. n Hill of Sullivan, as fish

was the nomination Of G. ID. Huntoon of
Rangeley, as an inland fish warden.

further time to investigate the case. and
instructed the commIttee 10 incur no fur

buyers, explained the legal aspects Of
the case. He said Story g. Thorndyke,
bend attorney specialists. decided that
the city could bond only 8 per cent. OF
this years assessed valuation, and not
last years assessment. This would allow
the city to bond 10 the amount OF $751;
90. %, and as there were outstanding
electric light warrants to the amount of
s405252 this amount would have to be
deducted, which would lsave about Si2,-
coo as the legal issue. The matter was
referred TO the committee of the whole.
