On motion by Mr.. Prince of oxford.

the same was referred TO the commit

the committee thought the salary
should be raised to $lS000O; but fin

We felt that it was not matter of
generous appropriation, but matter
of investment for the State of Maine
to retain the services of Mr.. Camp
bell. The trustees of the hospital have
become alarmed at the prospect of los

and, last year. he had promise from
the trustees that they would endeavor
to have his salary raised.

of chairman of the finance committee.
| had not been on the board long when
| realized that Mr.. Campbell was not
getting the salary which he was prop
crly entitled to for discharging the
various duties which devolved upon
