Neither This State Nor Massachusetts, Have
Gained or Lost In Area.

The report of the commissioners ap-
pointed to establish a boundary line be-
tween Rhode Island and Massachusetts
presented in the General Assembly to-
day, is a voluminous document, and a
great deal Of ii is devoted TO a his
tory of the efforts made for years past
to settle the lines To the satisfaction
of all concerned.
The report says that il was agreed
upon at the outset that i'm making tina
changes of the jurisdictional line called
for by the act, that they should bo
made, in all cases, without transferring
inhabitants, buildings or other i'm
provements from one state TO the other.
and it is upon these rules of procedure
that the work OF the commission has
been conducted. Wherever there has
appeared TO be an increase of territory
by one state caused by the drawing
of "a straight line, a correspond.
amount of territory has been obtained
by the other state at some other point.
Neither state has thus ultimately
gained or lost 4fe- area. -
In marking out the territory the COM
mission has developed the fact that Ger.
