SECOND RECESS MEETING.

Inc second recess meeting OF the past
PEEK Immediately preceded the regular

SCHOOL BOARD TANGLE.
Inc first business of the meeting was
Strengthening out Of the school board

uch discussion during the past week.
pc trouble grew out of q conflict Of opin-
as to the law relating to the election

Gowns bid was per cent for the collec-
rroduction OF papers by the city clerk,
). II, h had been ON file in the clerks Office
shines tne bids were made. The papers
were produced, ana Mr.. McGown's bid on
the 1905 tax was 49, per cent. He ex-
planned the matter al som. lsayth, and
asked that correction OF the records Da
made.
TAX COLLECTION.
The question OF tax collection fof 1907
was taken up for discussion. Austin NJ.
Foster, - no has been elected tax collector,
submitted two hi IS, one for the collection
OF the tax on contract, the terms of which
have already been stated. for $500. The
other bid was to collect the tax On per-
centage for per cent.
AID Curtis favored contract, but thought
the price was too high. He believed
81 800 was enough. Aid. stuart, still fav-
oring the percentage plan, thought the
board should accept the offer TO collect for
2 per cent. Aid. Alexander favored the
contract plan, and believed the apparent
difference between the two bids would be
more than offset by the advantages of the
contract over the percentage system.
On motion, voted, that a committee OF
three be appointed by the mayor fos the
purpose OF executing a contract for the
city with A. NJ. Foster, collector. accord
ing to the terms of Mr.. Fosters lowest
bid, said committee to report to meeting
OF the mayor and board of aldermen to be
held April 8, at 7.3o p. IN.
The mayor appointed as such commit
tee Aid. Stuart, Curtis and Alexander.
The annual meeting then adjourned.

REGULAR MEETING.

The regular April meeting OF the board
was then called to order. Records were
read and approved.
Aid. Stuart reported that President
Graham, of the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co., had offered to replace the free
series lamp at the corner of Main and
Franklin streets, by an arc light, which
would be free to the city for the ensuing
year. 1t was voted to accept Mr..
Graham's offer, and extend to him vote
of thanks,
The suit of Miss Flora Watts against
the city for injuries received by fall on
alleged defective sidewalk, which is down
for trial at the April term OF court, was
discussed. 1t was the sense OF the board
that the case should be tried out on its
merits.
A petition for the re-establishment OF
Brimmer's bridge, signed by some fifty
taxpayers, was presented and referred to
the committee on highways and bridges.
D. E. Hurley, attorney for Olin Sargent,
addressed the board in relation to
suit brought by him against ex-Street
Commissioner Newman, personally, for
trespass. The case grows out Of the open
ing of the new Mariavllle road, and the
legality of the laying out and acceptance
OF the road will be at issue. The matter
was referred to the committee on high
ways.
Aid. Stuart broached the subject OF
equipping the fire department with horses
and other paraphernalia to insure better
service and lower rate of insurance. He
believed this could be done at an addi-
tional expense to the city at the end OF the
wear of not more than 500. He gave no.
tice that at the next regular meeting OF
the board he would bring the subject up
for discussion and action.
THE WOOD LOT.
The city wood lot was the subject OF
short and spirited discussion, and IT
seemed the unanimous sense OF the board
that the lot should be sold II it could be
disposed of advantageously.
Aid. Curtis and Monaghan were ap-
pointed a committee with power to offer
the wood lot for sale at a price not less
than that paid by the city-$3,0OO.
TELEPHONE LINES.
The petition of the New England Ieie-
phone & Telegraph Co. for right to erect
lines on certain streets, as specified at the
last regular meeting, was referred to the
committee on streets.
1t was voted that the clerk make formai
application to the telephone company for
free installation of telephones at the house
of Chief Engineer Sinclair and at the en-
CINE house, with extension bell in the shop
of the chief engineer. George H. Grant,
local manager for the telephone company,
said he had little doubt that the company
would grant the application.
G. w. Mason said he had been talking
with Nthe city library trustees, VINO
thought there was not sufficient insurance

MAINE FOLK IN MAIDEN.
Another Pine Tree State Association
in Massachusetts.
Contributed by Mrs. Lillian May Robbins. ]

Contributed by Mrs Lillian May Robbins. !
In a recent edition OF THE AMERICAN
reference was made to Maine clubs and
Hancock county people in Massachusetts,,
and think it may be interesting to some
to hear of the Pine Tree State association,
OF Maiden, of which Harvey Thompson is
president. At the last meeting of the
association, March II, Mr.. Hanscom, one
of the honored and surely one of the most
popular members, took charge OF the pro-
gramme for the evening, and gave the
members delightful surprise.
The programme began with choice
music by an orchestra. An elocutionist
gave select readings of prose, poetry,
monologues, comic, pathetic, and interest
ing, and he also gave solos. Then
wildly realistic stereOpticon exhibition of
a moose hunt in Maine was given by lone
who VENT. Pictures of some of the
guides were familiar to many who hao
been hunting and fishing in Maine. Then
a few short addresses were given, in which
many references to Maine carried us back
to childhood days, in the dear old homes,
to which many of us have not been prlvi-
legged to return these many years.
Mr.. Hanscom was invited to the plat
form, though he came very reluctantly
Mr.. Hanscom is evidently man who
keeps his left hand down deep in his
darkest pocket while his right hand is
passing out pleasures to his friends.
President Thompson in his inimitable
manner presented Mr.. and Mrs. Hanscom
with beautiful basket of flowers, with
the kindest wishes of the association.
Mr.. Hanscom responded in a pleasing ad-
dress, altogether in harmony with the
spirit of he even ing.
The president requested the members to
form in line and march in couples to the
banquet hall, and then an elaborate col
lation was served by caterers. To them
who cared to dance, the orchestra fur
nished music and many remained to
dance. There were present, we were told,
about 800.
The whole evenings entertainment was
given by Mr.. Hanscom, and was heartily
enjoyed and thoroughly appreciated by
ali. All were Maine people - many
from Hancock county. This being mem
bership night, no one was present but
bona fde members.
