terday Mayor Fletcher received a letter
|
suit of an interview with Adiutant General
Richards. 1t appears that there not rifles
enough on hand for the National Guard and
| the supply of ammunition is so short that
target practice was suspended some time
ago. There is only about 80 rounds to a man
On hand now, and no money available to
buy more. The only thing to be done is to
call special session of the legislature to
provide ways and means for putting the
State in condition for defence and there
should be no delay in doing this. 1t is the
| opinion OF Gen. Richards that there is no
| legal way in which company can be raised
for the defence of our city, but if the legis-
lature does not promptly make such provis-
ion OF law no doubt a company or companies
will be raised, just the same. Maine should
not be behind her sister States in this mat
