In addition to these appropriations
Gov. Burleigh INTRODUCED bills at the
last session of Congress for new
Public Buildings at HallowelI and
Skowhegan.
As the ranking member OF the COM
mittee on public buildings, Mr.. Bur
leigh should have no difficulty in Sc
curing appropriations for these build
ings, together with an appropriation
for new post-office building at Gar
diner, an appropriation for the site OF
which he secured at the recent session
Of Congress.
In the period of n years from The
organization of the state up TO 1897, the
year that Mr.. Burleigh entered Con-
gIess. the total national appropriations
which had been secured for public
buildings in the Third Congressional
District was $272.225.16. Since 1897 the
appropriations for public buildings ia
the Third District have amounted to
$446, 600 90.
In other words, IN THE ELEVEN
YEARS GOVERNOR BURLEIGH HAS
BEEN IN CONGRESS HE HAS Sc
CURED FOR THE THIRD DISTRICT
APPROPRIATIONS FOR PUBLIC
BUILDINGS, EXCEEDING BY STA
fT4.00 THE TOTAL THAT HAD
BEEN SECURED FOR THE DIS
TRICT BY ALL OF HIS PREDECES-
HoRS IN THE PREVIOUS II YEARS
OF THE STATES HISTORY.
In addition to these appropriations
for his own district Mr.. Burleigh as a
member Of the committee on public
buildings, has had personal charge of
the securing of appropriations for
other sections of the State. The record
of public building appropriations for
this State is as follows:

In addition to this more than a mil

Maine which carried appropriations
amounting to $3.50 100000. Adding this

have had no truer friend in Maine
than Governor Burleigh. 1t was upon
his very earnest recommendation that
the legislature of 1889 increased the
appropriation for disabled veterans
and those dependent upon them, from
$4,000 to $135, 900.
1t was upon the recommendation OF
Governor Burleigh that the Law was
passed providing heavy penalties for
the careless setting of forest fires, and
making the land agent the forest
commissioner of Maine, with wardens
in every section of the State
indexinq Of the State Library.
When the State library was about to
be moved into its new quarters in the
State House EXTENSION, in 1891, Cover
nor Burleigh called the attention of the
legislature TO the great importance OF
Simplifying it with modern card cat
alOgue. in order that its treasures of
information might be unlocked and
rendered easily available TO its patrons.
For this reason he advocated an APP
preparation for the purchase of the
necessary cabinets and other material,
and the employment Of additional help,
skilled in this class of work The legis-
lature responded to this appeal and
today the State library of Maine, in
convenience and usefulness, is second
TO none in New England :
Reduction Of the State Tax Rate.
1t was upon the recommendation Of
Gov. Burleigh. in his first inaugural
message, that the rate of State taxa
ton was reduced to Q Ia mills. In adj
vocating this reduction Gov. Burleigh
said:
"rhe total taxation may safely be
reduced for the year 1890 to two and

Wisconsin Sound Warning
Against Ice Camps
MAY MAKE REGULATIONS
Mass of Men Coming for Ice Ear.
vest May Result In Drastic
Measures Being Taken ofi

Officials are being warned to look
out for an epidemic Of small pox in all
territory where large gangs Of men are
employed as ice cutters, and State
Boards of Health in both Wisconsin and
Illinois are sending out letters to the
districts where these ice cutters gather
in great numbers urging the officials
to take every possible precaution to
prevent the disease being brought into
these camps Reports from Chicago
are to the effect that six thousand men
have been employed to work in the
ice camps in Wisconsin and these men
have been gathered from all parts Of
the country. Many Of them are tramps
who have been on the road for the full
year and it is most probable that some
Of these men will carry the infection
of small pox and other diseases with
them into the ice camps. In former
years the small pox cases in this county
have all been traced to the ice camps
and the Health officers of the county
should heed the warning Of the state
boards and make an effort to prevent
any Of these infected people coming
into the state. The incoming of the
workmen will start within a few days
as the lakes are now being cleared Of
the snow and it is expected that if the
cold weather holds out for another
week the ice harvest will be on in
earnest. In Illinois camps the men are
being forced to submit to vaccination
before going to work in the camps and
this rule has been adopted by the big
employing companies at the request
of the Secretary Of the State Board Of
Health of Illinois. It is thought that
a similar arrangement could be made
for the men who are to work in the
ice fields in this county. DR.. G. H.
Harper, who is secretary Of the State
Board Of Health has always taken a
firm stand on this matter and it is
certain that he will use every power
Of the state to properly protect the
health of the people if the health off
GERS in the various counties of the
state will take some move for con
certed action. The Health officers, of
this county are ready to act and it is
understood that the health officers Of
Waukegan County have already laid
the matter before the State Board. Tt
may be difficult matter to carry out
any rule for vaccination Of the great
mass Of Workmen but it is certain that
cleanliness can do away with the spread
of infection should it be brought in
from other states. The health depart
ment Of Chicago has already appointed
special men to keep wa5ch on men
coming in from these camps and the
men will be closely wached as they re-
turn to Chicago. aws

AID. WADE TO QUIT.
Representative of Fifth Ward in
Common Council 70 Resign
His Office at Once
POLITICIANS WANT ELECTION

There will be another vacancy in
the Common Council next Monday
evening, as Alderman George Wade Of
the fifth ward this morning announced
that he would send his resignation to
the council at that time. 1t is stated
that the Alderman is not at this time
resident Of the fifth ward and that for
this reason he has found it necessary
under the law to surrender his place
in the Council Chamber. When seen
II have moved my family out Of the
fifth ward and shall send my resigna-
tion to the council on Monday even
ing. Alderman Wade has been a
year and half and he has been one
of the most active members of the
body. His retirement leaves two vacan-
cies on the council as Alderman Allie
man, of the fourth ward recently
resigned his office. The great mass of
people in the two wards seem to be
willing to allow the places to remain
vacant until the general election, to
be held in April, as the terms of both
of the resigned men would have expired
at that time. Notwithstanding this fact
some Of the political leaders in the
two wards are desirious of having a
special election in order to fill the va
cancies at once. This is sought on
account Of the fact that it is thought
that the men elected at a special cleo
ton would have geater prestige in the
general election. It is an admitted
fact that the man in office would have
the inside track for the new election
but there is some doubt if the city
council would be willing to hold a
special election just to give these po-
liticians such an inside track.
With the retirement of Alderman
Wade there is some talk among his
friends of having him become can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for Alderman in the Sixth ward. This
ward is now represented by Alderman
Edward Zievers and Morris Schend
and it is understood that Zievers will
be candidate for reelection Should
Wade come out for the nomination ii
would undoubtedly mean a hard fight
1t is probable that the matter OF
| the resignation and of the two special
elections will come up at the next meet
ing Of the council and some decisive
action taken.

Library Notes.

The School Duplicate Collections,
sent to the different school rooms in
the city, September Goth, were returned
to the library December 10th, and the
books, after checking up, were found to
have a circulation Of 4348, or nearly
double that Of last year. This is a
splendid showing, and is a decided in
dication of the interest taken in this
work by the teachers. The same books
will be re-distributed this week, for
another three months.
4 Mr.. John S. Sargent, of Chicago, has
compiled a lineage Of George Washing
ton, presenting manuscript copy to
Gilbert M. Simmons Library. It will
doubtless be Of great interest to many
people, and can be seen at any time
now, upon application at the library.
Many books are constantly being add
ed to our shelves, and certain subjects
have been receiving special attention,
such as mathematical and scientific
drawing, agriculture, bookkeeping, do
nestle architecture and home building,
with books on interior decoration, etc,
The most important on drawing are
two volumes OF the International School
Of Technology, and the encyclopedia of
Drawing four vols. A few Of the
new books on plans for houses are Mrs
Dodd's "Healthful Farmhouse Her
bert's "Houses for Cottage, " and best
Of all is our magazine "The House
Beautiful. -
Gas Engines, Steam Engines, Elec-
tricity, Tigonometry, Manual Training,
ETC., are other subjects in demand,
which are receiving attention at the
library. AS there have been many re-
quests for an Electrical magazine, the
Electrical World' has been aided,
and can now be found in the Reading
Room at all times.
