Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Thursday, July 20, at $50 A. m.
A matter which is at present receiy-
ing much attention at the bureau of in
dustrial and labor statistics is the re-
ceipt and tabulation of the returns to a
blank which was sent out some time
ago to the assessors of the different
cities and towns of the State for the
purpose of securing statistics relative
to the summer residences which are
owned here.
1t will be remembered that at the
last session of the Legislature a re-
solve was passed instructing the bu-
reau of Industrial and labor statistics
to collect statistics showing the value
and extent of all property in the State
owned by people residing outside of the
State and used exclusively for summer
residential or other vacation purposes.
The report of the Board of State AS
SCISSORS shows the amount of the nom
resident real and personal estate. but
there are no statistics available which
would give the information desired and
with view of providing a means for
securing these statistics that the re-
solve was PASSED. .-....
1t was the desire of the Legislature
to secure this information in order to
show the extent and the development
of the summer business, the places that
are particularly benefited and just
what effect the industry has in con-
nection with the development of the
productive industries of the State.
The information secured will be used
by the State to advertise the advant-
ages offered by our established summer
resorts and the attractive and desirable
opportunities offered by other sec
tions of Maine both for recreation.

the matter Thursday. expressed him
self as much pleased at the manner
in which the returns were coming in
and at the interest which is being
manifested throughout the State. OF
the 500 cities, towns and plantations
of the State ATS have already been
heard from and it is now expected that
the entire result will be secured by the
end of the present month In the opin-
ion of the commissioner the statistics
thus secured will be of much value.

the resolve but also list of the
summer cottages owned by people liv-
ing in Maine, as we'll as list of the
