STATE HOUSE,
Savings Bank Tax Commit
ted to State Treasurer.
Librarian Carver Suggests a Distribu-
ton Plan for Public Libraries.
ne Wcu'd Have Every Large Establishment a
Distributing Agency.

The savings bank tax for the six
months ending October %, was com
mitted to the State treasurer for col
lection by the State assessors. who
were in session, Tuesday. This tax
does not show so large a gain as the
officials had looked for on several ac-
counts. The amount to be collected
by the State treasurer is $2O4 1e3. 80
while the tax for the previous six
months was s19S.574S3.
There has been, as is shown by the
returns from the books, steady in
crease in the deposits of the banks in
the past year and the total of SO ,0OO,-
600 increase in deposits is shown in the
over last year. Everything of
this sort, while showing that Maine is
saving money, assists the State. as If
has materially in the tax.

the attendance was much better than
on the first day Of last year. The par
lors Of the church presented an ami
mated scene, as during the afternoon
the ladies strolled about among the
tables which bear fancy articles and
food
No pains have been spared to make
the sale a success, even though the
evening entertainment had to be given
up on account of the children who are
not allowed to take part in enterta in
ments at present. The tables are sroar-

trees to be found growing in no other

weld pond is the oldest one | have
seen, and believe there is nothing like
it in existence" remarked the veteran
fish commissioner. Henry o. Stanley.
Tuesday There is an abundance of
pickerel and yet at the same time L
do rot know of a place where a larger
number of trout can he captured in
any one day than there. One of the
secrets is the fact of the many little
streams tributary TO the pond. The
trout climb these streams, going up
mountain brooks at a great distance,
and there spawn. The fry do not en-
ter the pond for Il year or more after
they are hatched and then they are
large enough to defend themselves
against the greedy pickerel."

The result of the scarlet fever con-
ditions did not change to any extent.
Tuesday, but one case being reported
and that in the already infected dis
trict The health officer and other rhy-
sicians are very strongly in hopes that
other parts of the city, where an occa-
sional case of the disease was found,
the further spread has been stopped
by the prompt quarantine. The time
has now elapsed so that ordinarily
those who were exposed would come
down and no new cases have appeared,
and this gives them courage to believe
that very soon the section north Of
Bond brook will be the only one where
the disease exists.

AT the same time the tax ON the loan
and building associations was made.
This amount is so very insignificant
that it is looked upon by many as
positive nuisance. 1t requires no end
of fuss and trouble to notify all and
10 arrange the tax as well as collect
ing in the usual form, and then the
State gets only s1OS.S7 as the result.
This does not show as some might
infer that the associations are not DO
ing good business. Take the Augusta
association for instance, that is on
having basis and is doing a very large
business. They pay no tax, for under
the laws. the tax is assessed only on
the amount of the monthly capital
dues paid in by shareholders, over
the amount of Withdrawals, fines, il
terest and premiums. These latter are
60 large that there is seldom anything
left to assess upon, and this accounts
for the small tax.

NJ. Carver thinks that perhaps it
would be good idea for the people oc
Maine to follow somswhat the plan Of
the branch libraries. 'He mentions par
tieularly town that has for some time
been thinking of establishing a puIli,
library. Like many others of our

the larger one believes it should have
the library located there which is but
natural. On the other hand. the smaller
settlement will not assist unless it can
have it. Mr.. Carver suggests that ii

might have the location, as it would

of which the tablet to go with the

plans were suggested, but the one that
seems to offer the best results at the
most moderate expense, was that Of a
stone appropriately cut. upon which
is to be riveted a brass plate with 4
suitable engraving. telling OF the origin
of the cannon, both in its construction
and in it's presentation to the State Of

be set next to the building, where all
