me original proposition before the
committee on towns was to divide the
town of York and establish the town of
yorktown. The dividing line in the
original bill was from where the Josias
river crosses the dividing line between
York and Wells along the old post road
to the kittery line. After an extended
hearing before the committee on towns
seven members of the committee sign
ed report fought not to pass" A mi
nority report, fought to pass in new
draft was afterwards presented by
Senator Theriault, entitled AN Act to
divide the the town Of York and estab-
lIsn the town of Georges. The new draft
makes the boundary lines of the pro-
posed new town considerably smaller
ana provides that the proposed town of
Georges is to assume and pay for the
bridge across York river at York Har-
Dor so that the town of York shall have
no further concern or expense relative
to said bridge. The minority report
passed the Senate and in the House
provoked a debate lasting two days
during which several amendments were
proposed, the only one carried being
the submitting of the bill to referen-
DUN Of the voters of the proposed new
town. Representative Chase of York
conducted the fight for the preserva
ton of the old town and at a critical
stage of the debate was reinforced by
,Represe ntative Allen of Jonesboro.
The signing by Governor Fernald of
the resolve in favor of the bridge at
Pishon'S Ferry is an act which meets
with enthusiastic approval upon the
part Of the residents of the northern
part of Eennehec county and the south
ern part of Somerset county Resi-
dents Of the section have been before
legislative committees for several ses-
sions asking for this bridge, but their
efforts have been unsuccessful until
the present session. The location of
the bridge is across the kennebec
river between the northeast part of
Fairfield and the northwest part of
Clinton and between the counties of
kennebec ono Somerset. 1t is mid
way between the villages of Fairfield
and Skowhagan and is eight miles dis
tant from the bridges over the Ken
nebcc at either place. Situated on the
west side Of the river near the pro-
posed location is the East Fairfield

within five miles. This water is capa-
bic of great development and with the
new bridge it will undoubtedly be fully
utilized, bringing to the State and the
towns Of Canaan and Clinton a large
increase in taxable property. The
bridge will afford easy access for man

to a shipping point.
The full text of the resolve is as
follows:
