ANDREWS CORONER BILL
Given Hearing Before ConaE'ittee on
judiciary Thursday.

A hearing upon the bill, introduced
by Representative Andrews of Angus
to, providing that no person shall be
appointed coroner who is at the time
engaged in the business of an under
taker, was held Friday afternoon be-
fore the committee on judiciary. COM
pared with previous hearings which
have been held upon the subjects Of
ccroners and medical examiners, the
hearing was a very mild and gentle
one. Frank Hewins of Augusta said
that he did not believe that undertake
ers We're qualified to be coroners. He
was an undertaken himself and stated
that there was nothing in the under
takers training that told him what a
man died Of. He was simply taught to
treat the results of certain disease. He
believed a coroner should be sufficient
ly educated to know what q man died
of. Out of 116 coroners in the State 60
or 20 were undertakers. He said that
it was mighty hard to get body away
from an undertaken who was also a
coroner and cited a number of in
stances bearing on the situation,
Former County Commissioner F. S.
Adams of Sagadahoc county spoke in
favor CT tho bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Andrews of Augusta. He
said that he voiced the sentiment Of
the county commissioners Of the State
and that there was q general feeling
that coroners. particularly those who
were undertakcrs, had made unneces-
sary expense to the county.
Representative Montgomery of Cam
den said that he supposed the reason
undertakers We're employed as coroners
was because they were always ready
and waiting in case of death.
County Commissioner Levi T. Will
liams of Kennebec county said that in
his county the commissioners had
found that undertakers. who were cor
oners were inclined to be a little more
expensive than those who were not.
Senator Hastings asked what would
be done in certain sections of oxford
county, where the undertaken was the
only person available as a coroner.
County Commissioner Williams sug-
gcsted that the act might be amended
in some way in the case of country
towns. but in the larger cities, where
there was an evident spirit of CONNER
cialism among the undertakers the
provisions of the bill ought to apply.
Tile matter was then tabled for execu-
tive session.
