down the number of new judges from

The assembly debated and ordered
to engrossment the bill to create tlis
office of state fire marshal. Assem-
blyman Cleary, the author of the bill
and Assemblyman Pliny Norcross o
Jaresville valiantly defended tn,

Mains, George, Scott and Richle
helped favor the bill, while Messrs
Ties, ]. o. Thomas, Ingram aud Camp
bell objected. The first discussion
arose as a result of an amendment
offered by Mr.. Bichler exemptins
town mutual insurance compame.

into the state treasury one-fourth q
one per cent of the gross premiu ~

salary is to be $500, a first deput,
with salary of $500 and second
deputy with salary of $1,000. He
declared the legislation as entirely un
called for and needless show of ex
travagance, and moved for indefinit.

the experiences of the state Of O1io
where, on account Of the iIvestiga

to fires OF questionable origin, tte
record in that state showed a regular
ldecline of incendiarism as follows
1901, 292 cases; 1902, % cases; 1903
100 cases; 1904, 15s cases, and 1905
81 cases. Assemblyman Norcross
speaking in behalf of the measure
put himself on record as favoring
more drastic legislation than that pro.
posed and urged that the provisions
ought in the future at least to be
made more wide reaching than those
