building bill, which will be passed at this
session OF Congress. There now remain
but few members Of experience on the
committee in passing bills OF that chsrac-

he has given careful attention to the needs
OF the country for public buildings, his

HANCOCK COUNTY.
REPORT OF TREASURER AND
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
COUNTY IN EXCELLENT FINANCIAL
CONDITION, BUT CASH BALANCE
SMALLER THAN LAST YEAR.

The annual report OF the county COM
missioners, Nahum Hinckley, John P.
Eldridge and o. w. Foss, with reports of
County Treasurer Tapley and Sheriff
Mayo, has been completed.
The report this year is larger than usual,
including court directory and list of
county officers, with terms of supreme
court, probate court and county commits
sioners' court.
The report shows decrease in the net
resources for the year of SI,61206, against
net increase of s559.32 in 1904, and net
increase of s1,916.s4 in 1903. The cash
balance this year is s9,640.09, against s12,
s17.S6 last year, reduction of s3,177.77.
This decrease in balance and resources is
principally due to two causes heavy bills
OF costs for coroners' inquests and grand
jury inquest in Robbins murder case, on
the one hand, and falling off in amount
received from liquor fines, from n, 451. SO
in 1901, to =, 1890 last year, or a decrease
OF e $50. The cost for investigation of
violations of the liquor law last year was
about 500 greater than in 1904.
There were fewer prisoners in the county
jail than in 1901, the report Of the sheriff
showing a total number of twenty-nine
prisoners as against forty-six in 1904, with
total OF PIT weeks board last year as
against 325 the year before. The cost OF
board of prisoners in the county jail dur
ing the past year was, however, 1927 .9s as
against sS13.93 in 1904, or an average of
about $50 per week in 1904 and s2.s9 per
week in 1905.
This greater cost for care of prisoners
may be attributed to the new law which
| went into effect July 1. Under this law
the county is required to buy the food for
| prisoners and provide for the cooking and
serving OF 1t, instead Of contracting with
the sheriff for board OF prisoners at $50
per week, the sheriff finding everything
as heretofore. The new arrangement
would doubtless result in a saving in
| large counties where there are many pris-
oners, but in Hancock county it will prove
more expensive. rs a
The placing Of all the county officers on
salaries results in considerable change
I in the items in the report this year, but
Us the saiafy arrangement utu NOV ueshh
. until July for most OF the officers, or, in
case of the county commissioners, not until
January of this year, no fair comparison
! between the fee system and salary system
can be made from this years report.
| COUNTY TAX.
| County Treasurer Tspley's report OF the
county tax makes an excellent showing.
| Not dollar OF the 1905 tax remains UNI
collected, and in addition 1904 taxes due
from Eastbrook, see.5s, and Verona, ss4.72,
have been collected. Only once before has
such showing been nade-ia 1903, when
all taxes for the year and back tax from
| Otis were collected.

WHITE VS.. Fits.
Case of Interest to Ellsworth Tried
in Bangor,


in Bangor.
The action OF Robert H. White, of Ban
gor, VS.. Frank Fits, of Ellsworth, was
tried in the supreme court at Bangor last
week. The plaintiff sued to recover a, 900
damages growing out of a contract for
cutting stave wood. Plaintiff alleged that
May 25, 1904, he agreed to cut the timber
suitable for slaves on certain tract OF
land containing about $50 acres, and to
saw the same into logs of nine, twelve,
fifteen and eighteen feet in length, at the
rate of 81 a cord as fast as defendant
should need the same for use in his mill.
That defendant on Nov. 80, 1904, dis
charged him from his undertaking and
refused to allow him to continue in the
performance OF said contract, and en-
ployed other men to cut and saw lumber
upon the tract.
The defendant made general denial of
liability, admitting that he and plaintiff
entered into verbal contract on May %,
1904, whereby plaintiff was to go upon a
tract of land belonging to him in Otis,
and cut and saw stave timber, for which
plaintiff was to receive 81 cord, and that
plaintiff from May 25 to July 1, 1904, cut
and sawed said logs in satisfactory man
ner, but that thereafter the plaintiff care
lessly and unskillfully cut and sawed the
timber. The work was unsatisfactory and
caused great inconvenience, delay, loss
and damage. After repeated requests and
warnings, on Nov. 80, 1904, he prohibited
the plaintiff for further cutting and saw
ing and discharged him from the work,
and on Dec. 20 paid plaintiff in full.
A verdict was rendered for the plaintiff
for $500.
