Mr.. MACFARLANE of Piscata0uis:
There are two companies. one from
WeStbroOk and one from Bath and the
Signal Corps from Portland. who de
sire to attend the inaugural ceremonies.
These several companies have raised
about $1,000 for the purpose of defray-

upon the part of Maine has a tendency
to go a long way to establish a spirit
which is necessary in all army organ
lZationS; and. in this matter, | think
the State will be amply repaid in pay
ing this small tribute to these men. Not
only that-you must bear in mind that
these men stand ready at all times tC
risk their life in support Of your prop
erty and in defense of it; and It seems
10 mo the State Of Maine can i'll afford
to allow this matter to pass by.
