Heard at Length.
Other Business Transacted With Adjourn men
10 Wednesday Morning.

The Governor and Council convened,
Tuesday afternoon, for their regular
monthly meeting, continuing in the
evening until 10 o'clock.
The nominations recently made by the

The petition of the Buckfield & Rum
ford Falls Railroad sfor an abatement of
the old tax was heard and tabled.
The petitioners for the pardon Of
John A. swan, withdrew their petition.
In the case of Joseph B. Smith, the
petitioners appeared, and long testimony
was heard from Hon. Charles Buffum of
Orono, and hon. Joeb Palmer of Bangor.
Smith was, in 1877, sentenced in Penob-
scot county for the murder of one Josselyn.
afterward committed to life sentence.
1t was alleged that he was drunk at the
time of the deed
Mr.. Palmer testified that he had known
Smith as boy, and had thought him one
of the oleanest and most well behaved
boys in Auburn, where he lived.
Mr. Buffum stated that when young
fellow Smith held his good opinion. E
The evidence showed much interesting
testimony to the effect that Smiths step
mother had exerted a harmful influence
over his disposition, largely responsible
for his act of murder. He entered the
army when 10 years old, serving in the
war. He was 20 years old when impris-
oned. He is now suffering from con-
sumption.
His case was tabled for further action

MANY BICYCLES.
Number of Bicycles in the State
Estimated to Be 10000.
City ard Town Assessors Will Probably Include
Them as Taxable Property.

The question of taxing bicycles has be-
come during the past six months, one of
increased and increasing interest.
Their numbers are legion in the State
OF Maine, and such has been the increase,
during the past season, of this commodity
and method of transportation, that they
are now to be numbered by the thousands.
The question put to the city and town
assessors, this past year, by the State
board OF assessors, regarding the esti-
mated number Of wheels in each locality,
has made it possible to obtain, II not an
exact, at any rate the nearest estimate of
the number of bicycles il use in the State
which has ever been made. And, at the
rate that this number has increased over
that of the previous year, the future
promises that the family which does not
own one or more of the machines, will be
striking exception.
The estimates which have been made
by the local assessors give a fair idea of
the estimates are conservative. In small
| towns the number can be easily computed
but in the larger places 1t is next to i'm
possible to get at the correct figures.
The returns by assessors made last sum
| mer, some of them having been made
about the first of the season, since when
many have been introduced, show a total
| of 1858 in the State. In round numbers
| it can safely be said that there are now
1000 in al, laying by in their winter
quarters. An estimated valuation OF $50
a machine is reasonable one, which
would make total valuation of $500 900
for the State.
In comparatively few instances have
the bicycles been taxed. In Kennebec
county, the assessors of Augusta and
Randolph included these among their list
of taxable ps sperty, there being about 300
in the formshlocality, and Is in the latter
The number of wheels in each of the
counties of the State, has been estimated
by the assessors as follows, but, as in very
many cases towns have been reported as
having no bicycles which from their slze
undoubtedly contain quite number, the
figures are likely to be underrated
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1895-12-18
cures are likely to be moderated;

The assessors throughout the State arc
beginning to realize the importance of
including this kind Of vehicle among the
taxable properties. Just on whom to lay
the tax, often is difficult question, as,
in many families, the wheel is family
property.
Tho bicycle man is the man OF the
period, and his influence is felt through
out out all the land. And the recent de-
termination of the Maine Branch of the
League of American Wheelmen, to make
itself felt at next years Legislature by
the introduction of bill for the creation
of a committee on roads, to better the
highways throughout the State, will
doubtless bear much weight.
Although the wheelmen are directly
benefitted, It seems to be one of those
scarce instances of a unitarian end The
spirit of selfish benefit is mingled with
one of altruism The wheelmen claim
that the State will benefit by the improve
ment in roads to an inestimable extent,
by the amount of money which the in
creased number of bicycling visitors will
drop, as they tour through the picturesque
country. The farmers, too, will be
greatly helped by the facility Of travel.
If there are 10000 bicyclers in the
State. they and their numerous friends
ara in a way to exert a considerable in
auence, all told, and they will beai
watching
The returns of the assessors from some
of the Kennebec cities and towns show
the following figures; Augusta, 800
Clinton. $50; Gardiner. l75; Waterville
l5o: Oakland, 100; Vassaiboro, 80; Hal

%: Winthrop, go. Windsor and Man
chester lay claim to two apiece Nienn'
and Rome report none within their limits
From all indications the only vehicle
which can supplant the bicycle is the lily
ing machine, which is yet some distance
from the reach of the people.
