VIII say that we have taken up the

Dection with the city hall, and will with
your permission send you, sketch
showing the city hall, and theater COM
bined at cost somewhere between 500
900 and $4,000 complete and ready for
occupancy, both city hall and theater.
The theater building we will lease for
period Of Ten years paying for 1t a rental
based 90 6 per cent net OF its cost. which
| estimate to be between &25, 900 and
$50 600 complete and the city hall be-
tween &S5 900 and $40 00C complete.
The variance Of So 900 in each instance
would depend more upon you than my.
self. You may want more when you
criticise the sketches in the way of
elaborate fnishlngs, details, etc.
The lease as above stated will be bond
ed 10 surety company acceptable to
your committee. The rental payable

The debate at Augusta, before the
committee on Education, in regard to
the State College, has been whether the
great amount asked for by the Institu-
ton should be granted II the University
of Maine shall continue to duplicate the
courses Of the other Maine colleges, thus
Gripping and perhaps crowdng out of
existence the older institutions. IC was
no doubt the original purpose of the act
establishing these institutions to train
young men in the science of agriculture
and the mechanic arts. But this was
not intended to exclude from the curri
culum of the university any courses that
are now or may be hereafter reasonably
necessary to the adt quate cultivation of
its special field of labor. All parties are
agreed that the college should be well
cared for by the State, but the proposed
appropriation of $4,000 Or 5000 900 an
nually seems too large.

Hearing Oh the Referendum.

One of the most important hearings of
the session was that before the judiciary
committee on the Judiciary, the Weeks
bill and the johnson bill being CON
sidered. 1t was explained that Mr.
Weeks bill embraced the statutes, while
that of Mr. johnson applied also to the
constitution. Several speakers stated
that the Referendum League and labor
organizations generally was in favor of
the Weeks bill. Hon. Forrest Goodwin
of this place summed the matter up,
tracing the history of the bin through
the Legislatures of 1908 and 1905, saying
that after extensive work the Legislature
of two years ago did not have as perfect
or effective bill as that introduced by
Mr.. Weeks.
Mr.. Goodwin then went ON to trace
the movement since that time, and read
that So ction of Gov. Cobb's last inaugu-
raj relating to the subject.
1T is we'll known to you gentlemen"
said Mr.. Goodwin, that there are par
ties in the State who Will oppose the
measure and will work to defeat it.
Now let me Say why | do not believe
minority and majority reports should be
submitted to the House We are. both
Democratic and Republican members, in
favor of the principle and if motion is
made to accept the minority report as
surely will be done, you will defeat the
bill, for this Legislature will never vote
to accept the initiative and referendum
as applied to the constitution. You can
not get the necessary two.thirds majori y

ferent platform"
