Who Is Responsible?

Quite question has been raised be-
tween the city marshal and the over
seers of the poor, which would affect
any city or any city marshal in the
state, under the circumstances. one
day recently the marshal was notified
by ncighbors in certain locality
that they had good reason to believe
that citizen in an adjoining house
had committed suicide, and was in
his room in a dying condition.
The marshal went to the house and
after making every reasonable effort
to arouse the man was finally obliged
to force AN entrance by breaking in
tn" door. Upon entering the room he
found the man apparently dead. but
upon further examination he found
that there were still slight evidences
of life. He also found evidence that
the man had really attempted suicide
by taking something that had pro-
duced the condition in which he was
found.
knowing that the man was receiving
help from the city. the marshal at
once directed a bystander to call the
city physician if possible, and if not
able To find him, to secure the first
doctor available. 1t so happened that
the city physician could not be found.
and another doctor answered the call
and together they succeeded in resus-
Chatting the man, who had, it was
afterWard proved, taken a large dose
OF morphine. 1t was only by the
prompt action of the marshal that the
mans life WAS saved
The point in question is that of who
is responsible for the payment of the
physician. The OVerSeerS refuse TO
acknowledge the bill on the ground
that the marshal had no authority to
employ medical aid without first mott
flying them. The fact that the mar
shall Immediately proceeded to the
Office of the overseers and notified
them as soon as the physician had ar
rived, is not considered.
This is claimed to be the law. and
as IL affects the marshals of cities.
who are always the first to be called
upon in case of accidents. it places the
injured in very bad position. for
very few marshals would call a nhy-
slcian. no matter how badly thew
might be needed, if the marshals are
personally liable for all bills. This
seems to be strange ruling, as hui
man life is supposed to be, in civilized
communities, of more consequence
than anything else.

EVERYTHING LOOKS FAVORABLE
For the Purchase Of $4,000 Worth Of
Quebec & Wiscassct Stock.

SO great has been the change III
sentiment toward the entrance of the
Quebec & Wiscassct Railroad into
this place that there is good prospect
that when the vote as to whether or
not the city shall subscribe for $40, 900
worth of stock for the road is taken,
the project will be carried by a two
thirds vote.
Present indications show that. with
the help of the city by taking a part
of the stock. beginning will be made
on the road this fall. According to the
special charter granted to the road by
the Legislature, work must be com
menced on the road before the present
year has expired. In order that the
promoters may not lose the rights
granted them by the charter it is pro-
posed to make beginning this year
The promoters Of the road are quoted
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1898-07-29

as saying that if $27 900 worth of stock
is taken in this city there will not he
the slightest trouble In bonding the
road so that work may be commenced
in very short time. In order that
this amount may be raised the city will
he asked to make a subscription for
the stock. With this amount sub
scribed for and what others have sig
nified their intentions Of taking in
stock. there seems to be but slight
question but what the promoters of tho
road will be able to start the work of
building late In the fall.
Although many of the prominen.
citizens have signified their intention
of subscribing for a large amount of
the stock the question Of whether or
not the road shall be built hinges in a
measure on what action will be taken
at the fall election In regard to pur-
chasing stock.
The question as to whether or not tho
city can take stock in the road on ac-
count of the approach to the debt limit
seems to have been settled by the
work of the present administration in
reducing the city debt even with q re-
duction of a tenth Of a mill in the tax
rate. During the present year the deb;
of the city has been reduced $40. 900 and
at the same time the rate of taxation
has been reduced.
With this reduction of the debt there
is but slight question but what there
win be no illegality in the city's voting
to subscribe for the amount of the
stock asked for by the promoters Of the
road.
Whether or not the citizens are in
favor Of subscribing for the stock, is a
question that seems to be settled by
what President Frank Redington OF
the road said III an interview. yester-
day morning. In speaking of the road
he said that some time ago the mat
ter as To whether or not the city should
take stock in the road was voted on.
At thai time the question was voted
down. Since then the sentiment has
changed. He has talked with the
greater part Of the representative men
Of the city and nearly all have not only
expressed themselves in favor Of the
idea of the city's taking the amount OF
stock asked FOR, but more than that.
they We're highly enthusiastic over the
idea.
Others In speaking Of the matter said
that this was an opportunity that
should not be lost. The charter ex-
pires at the end of this year If the
city does not now take advantage Of
the opportunity. an unusual oppor-
tunity for the development: of the city
