Regarding the rebate on foreign coal
a local dealer stated, yesterday, that
it was difficult to say what effect It
would have on the coal business in this
city. 1t depended somewhat upon what
time the rebate takes effect. There
would be no immediate effect unless the
rebate applies to the cargoes already
expected in Portland. And then it
would take long time before the re-
bate would be made. Local dealers who
are expecting foreign coal have been
advised by the wholesalers that the
best the companies can do is to pay
the duties, if required to do so. under
protest and then, if they found that
the rebate applied to these cargoes,
refund the amount to them after such
rebate was made to the companies by
the government.

Municipal Ownership Of Water
Works Again Appears.
Town Of Camden Wants to Advance

Gable from England on Foot and
Mouth Disease.

Municipal ownership again bobbed
up in the Legislature, yesterday. 1t APP
peared in the form of two bills. One
was general water bill, which Senator
Staples of Knox presented, and the
other was an act creating the Dover &
Foxcroft Water District as the sue
cessor of the Dover & Foxcroft Fire
Company. The latter bill was intro
duced by Senator Guernsey Of Piscata-
Quis.
can act to supply cities and towns
with pure water is the title of the bill
presented by the Senator from Knox.
This bill is general measure, which
gives to any city or town, by it's
municipal officers, or by a commission,
acting for and in behalf of such city or
town. the power to take water from
any pond or other body of water, or
from springs for domestic, municipal
and manufacturing purposes.
The bill also authorizes such city or
town. so desiring, to make any neces-
sary contract with any erson or cor
poration for acquiring thu ownership of
a system of water works br the owner
ship of any part of suth system of
water works existing within such city
or town. or the ownership of the whole
or any part of the stock of any
aqueduct corporation, or any other
corporation owning system of water
works. or any part of the same.
And the bill further provides that
such city or town, by it's municipal
officers or commission may be entitled
to purchase the whole business or plant
of any existing system or to purchase
the same in installments through a
period of years. :.
The bill provides the methods by
which plants may be purchased, land
taken and water rates established.
The bill also authorizes two or more
| towns or cities, or city, or cities and
| town or towns, by vote of the annual
| meetings of the towns and of the city
| governments of cities, to form them
selves into water district, and such
| district shall have all the powers for
raising money and providing supply
Of pure water within said district as
are by this act conferred upon cities
and towns.
The bill is sweeping in it's character,
as will be seen by the abstract here
given. 1t is a municipal ownership
measure through and through.

Arguments were made, Thursday af-
ternoon by Hon. William B. Shelton of
Lewiston, county attorney for Andres
coggin county, and Hon. Daniel j. Nc
GillicUddy, mayor of Lewiston, in the
contested election cases of four repre-
sentatives from that city. Mr.. McGilli-
cuddy for Messrs. Coyne, Morey and
t1arcelon, the sitting members, argued
that the petitioners had made many
charges Of fraud but they had not pro-
duced "a single witness who had been
able to bring the fraud home to any
one person or to show that if there had
been any fraud thatfit had any bear
ing whatever in the settlement of case
under consideration.
City Clerk Lambert was vigorously
defended by Mr.. McGillicuddy who said
that all his acts had been in the strict
performance of his duties and that he
would have been open to censure if he
mad acceded to the request of Mr.. KEEL
ley for an examination of the checklists
and ballots when there was no one else
present. Mr.. McGillicuddy secuted the
idea as advanced in the testimony of
Finn about Lambert stuffing the ballot
box and stated that if Lambert did do
such an act he would have been
mobbed before he reached the door as
there were a number of persons of a
different political faith in the ward
room.
Mr.. Shelton for the petitioners argued
that there was unquestioned evidence
that the frauds were committed, the
Democrats themselves did not deny
this, but sought to escape by saying
that it was as much OH one side as the
other and that it made no difference
anyway. He said that when ex-Alder-
man Finn said that he saw Lambert
put large number of ballots into the
box he was making a statement to be
believed and that the trick could be
very easily done.
The committee took the case under

The question of resubmission and
prohibition attracted the attention of
the House for brief moment, yester-
day. The matter came up when the
Davis resubmission resolve was sent
down from the Senate, the reference
having been changed from the COM

on temperance. Davis of Waterville,
didn't want the reference changed, but
the House thought differently after

with the Senate.
