LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The bill to amend and extend the
charter of the Buckfield Water Company
has been favOrably acted on in commit
tee.
The bill to extend the jurisdiction of
the Rumford Falls Municipal Court over
certain townships in Franklin County,
including what is known as Bemis, has
been adversely reported by the judiciary
committee.
Davis of Waterville has introduced a
bill 10 allow registered apothecaries to
sell liquors for mechanical and me-
dicinal purposes. He says he does not
expect it TO pass, but it will have an
educational value.
The temperance committee will make
two reports on the resubmission of the
prohibitory amendment. The majority
report, opposing resubmission, will be
signed by eight members of the COM
mittee, and the minority report. favor
ing resubmission. by two members. The
msiority report will undoubtedly be at
cepted, after more or less orstory.
The committee on agriculture spent
two sessions last week in investigating,
according TO legislative order, the man.
agement of the agricultural department
by Secretary McKeen. More or less
complaints and criticisms had been
made The principal trouble shown by
the investigation was decided looseness
in business methods in the care OF
financial matters.
The committee on railroads has voted
TO report in favor Of the repeal of the
whole Of the general law Of 1895 under
which telephone, express, gas and electric
companies may be organized. This Is
the result of the agitation for the repeal
of the so-called consent clause" Of the
law, and the effect will be to make all
come before the legislature for special
permission who wish to organize such
companies.
The question of economy Of appropri-
ations came to definite head last week,
when Governor Hill returned unsigned
three resolves appropriating money. One
of these was the appropriation Of $1,000
to pay the expenses OF three companies
of the National Guard to the inaugura-
ton of President Mckinley. The, gov
ernor will, however, from his private
purse contribute 500 toward the ex-
penses Of each company. Since the
governor called this halt in the expend-
itures the legislature has shown a dis
position to go slower.
