STATE HOUSE.

Commissioner John A. Morrill, of Au-
burn, has completed the revision of the
Statutes, upon which he has been at
work for more than year, with the
exception of preparing the index. The
revision makes 9S1 pages of printed
matter. When Mr. Morrill, began the
work he was afraid there would be
| more than this number of pages, MAX
ing the volume too bulky for con-
venient handling; but in the compost
ton it has been possible, through the
use of type shade smaller and more
condensed than that used in the pre-
ceding edition, to save several hundred
pages of space. Mr. Morrill, figured
that the book would make from 1900 TO
100 pages. He now thinks the entire
volume. index and all, will not exceed
| 1900 pages.
The preparation of the index will re-
quire much labor and considerable
time will be necessary to do the work.
This part of the work will be set double
column and nonpareil type will be used
in it's composition.
MIR. Morrill, is now confident that the
entire job will be completed and ready
for delivery to the Legislature by the
order OF the last Legislature.
One of the last Legislative nominees
to file his papers with the secretary of
State was Lewis A. Goudy, whom the
Falmouth and Cumberland had nomi-
mated as their candidate for representa-
tive. 1t transpired after the nominal
ton had been made that Mr.. Goudy
was ineligible, as he had not been a
resident of the district long enough.
His nomination papers have been filed,
but he will resign and the committee
of the Legislative class will name a
candidate in his place. Mr.. Goudy has
been u resident of Portland for many
years, only recently moving to Fall
mouth. He is the president of the
Northeastern Telephone Co. and is
we'll known throughout the State.
Major General Augustus B. Farnha,n,
adiutant general, went to Portland,
Saturday, to see the Naval Reserves
embark on their deep-sea cruise.
