A MORIBU MAINE TOWN.
MattamIscontIs. once Thriving, Now With
n Formulation OF ~.


AUGUSTA. Me. Feb. 1.-THE story of the
average backwoods town in Maine is very
much like the history of star. as each
begins its career in nebulous condition,
reaches stage of heated activity and finally
burns itself out.
This winter Representative Mullen of
Bangor has introduced an act in the Maine
Legislature permitting the town Of Malta
miscontis, forty-four miles northeast from
Bangor to surrender its town organization
and lapse back into plantation. so as to
escape the support OF its paupers and the
payment of county and State taxes.
Mattamiscontis was Incorporated as a
town. being a slice taken from Rowland
on March s, 1899 At that time the valua
ton OF the town was 10000 and its popu-
lation was eighty-two The residents had
every prospect OF getting rich rapidly,
The town grew and pros pered
On March 4, 1904, the entire population Of
Mattamiscontis was twenty-eight. Of whom
eleven we're voters, and every one in town
was either a Sawyer or a Roberts. There
was one Sawyer and two Robertses on the
board OF assessors, two Sawyers and one
Roberts were overseers of the poor, Saw
yer was collector of taxes and treasurer,
three Sawvers were serving as selectmen,
a Roberts was superintendent Of schools,
Miss Maud Sawyer and Miss Agnes Rob-
erts taught the two schools. n Sawyer was
justice of the peace, a Roberts was under
contract to furnish wood for the school
houses. and a Sawyer broke out the snowy
highways and carried the children TO aud
from school.
Eyeryb ody was related to everybody
else, The entire community was no more
than a family affair. There was no post
office, no clergyman. no lawyer and no
doctor in the whole town The entire
assets OF the municipality were Of an ap-
praised valuation Of sl9 2se and weed

no internent for six years.
Under the laws of Maine when person

public charge while residing on pan'a-

| ganized for the longest time. Mattaml--
contis has four paupers who have been
supported at a cost Of $3.50 a year. hN
! becoming a plantation the community
can compel Rowland to care for them,
In addition TO getting nd Of this hl..
| the plantation will have 10 pay no iaNs
except for common schools and -
pairing the highways. The change from
town to plantation form Of govern
ment will be a profitable investment lor
