SOUTH PORTLAND.
WHY THE TOWN HAS NOT BEEN
SUPPLYING ANY JURORS.

1t would seem that the new town Of
Cape Elizabeth. when the divisional line
was adopted by the legislature, walked of
with the jury box. as all the jurors for
State and Federal courts have been
drawn, since the division, from what is
now the new town of Cape Elizabeth,
with Its two:hundred voters against about
fifteen hundred in South Portland. The
records, documents. etc.. pertaining to the
old town were left with the new town of
South Portland. but through iuadvert-
enoe, presumably, On the part of the
officers of the court all the venires were
issued in the name of Cape Elizabeth and
as q consequence all the jurors were taken
from this town. To correct this, Senator
Reynolds has introduced a measure in the
legislature which will have a remedial
effect.
About the only other bill before the
legislature Of general interest to this sec
ton is that introduced by the Inhabitants
of Willard to be set apart from South
Portland. There Is no likelihood Of vii.
lard being annexed to Cape Elizabeth and
because of this, the Willardites are bend
ing their best energies to secure separa-
ton.
