said one of the men in the crowd.

fact that there has not been genuine
burglary in Augusta for long time
with the exception Of the few little
breaks made at the houses about

the boys who are now in the

CHIEF ENGINEERS POWER.
He Has the Powers Of The Old Fire Ward.
Conferred Upon Him.

A chief engineer of the fire depart
old saying goes, if he has a mind to use
all his authority in case of fire. The
revised ordinances of all cities, and of
the city of Augusta as well as others,
give the chief engineer all the powers
conferred upon the fire wards by the
statutes of the State of Maine
First of all, it may well be explained
that a fire ward was elected by the
people, and every town or city had as
many as it chose. Their power at fires
was supreme. and any three of them
could order houses torn down and re-
moved in case they chose to do so to
prevent the further spread OF fire. In
those days the power was given 50
that any three fire wards could order
the destruction of property, or if they
were not present any three civil or
military officers could be empowered to
do the same.
During the continuance Of any fire
ii was provided that in case the fire
wards needed any assistance they
could call on from the crowd for it:
either in removing merchandise. to be
appointed guards. or to assist in sup
pressing a disorder. Any person re-
fusing to obey the wards was liable to
fine of so.
Now according to the manner in
which one of Augustus ordinances
reads. Chief Kicker has the power to
call on for assistance for the purpose of
removing furniture. TO quell tumult,
to tear down a building or to act as
guards, and any citizen refusing is
liable 70 the fine as IN the case Of long
ago.

STATE HOUSE..
Land Sale Well Attended and Much
Property Sold.
Plans Tor the Trip Of the Governor and His
staff.

The sale of townships of the State
upon which the taxes of 1897 or pre-
vious were not paid, took place, Thurs
day. at the office of the State treas
urer. Mr.. Simpson acting as his own
auctioneer. The attendance was
large, some of Names most prominent
scented.
At the time set for the opening of the
sale there were noticed present in the
State House, waiting for the time to
bid, Hon. Waldo Pettingill of Rumford
Falls. Hon. w. T. Haines of Water
Vile. NJ. G.. Shaw of Bath, S. w. Phil

David Ross of Bangor. George w.
Bucknam of Columbia Falls. and At
torney Clifford of Bangor.
The number of townships on sale
were not SO great at the time of the
sale as they had been a few days pre-
viously. There has been 4 wholesale
selling of the taxes due since the time
would be up for sale in case the taxes
were not paid. Even, Thursday morn
ing, township after township was
cleared by the owners or by the agent
in charge Of the land. who have been
negligent.
The sale brought in prices that as a
rule We're but the prices of the taxes
due though in one or two cases the
was lively and they ran
the bids up from $50 to $225 in small
bids.
Several townships We're sold, the ac-
tual sale being larger than the usual
run of the auction sales.
There were still many lots on which
the taxes remained unpaid that could
not be sold. In some cases the State
has townships upon which the taxes
have not been paid since 1883 and from
that date up to the present time. The
greater number of those sold was for
taxes of but two years or a little more,
the amounts required to purchase the
tax title being small.
