The Governor and Council will on
this occasion be in session both Mon
day and Tuesday, the Monday session
being given by the Governor for the
purpose of holding a hearing on the
question of the division of the town
of York. The hearing will begin
promptly at 40 Monday afternoon and
it is expected that there will be quite
delegation of York county people in
attendance. The hearing is the result
of protest presented to the Governor
by some of the people of York against
the issue of any public proclamation
to, the effect that the act entitled IAN
Act to divide the town of York and
establish the town of Gcrges," ap-
proved April 2, 1909, has been suspend
cd by petition to the terms of the con-
stitution of the State of Maine.
The protestants asked the opportun-
ity to be heard before the Governor
and while the constitutional amend
ment does not seem to contemplate
such protest or hearing the Governor
will afford the protestants and others
interested in the matter an opportunity
to be heard, as stated above. All those
interested in the subject on either side
will be admitted to the hearing and
within reasonable bounds given a
chance to state any facts pertaining to
the issues which may be raised.
One of the matters in which the in
surance department has recently been
interested was the investigation, last
week, at Cherryfield, Washington
county, of a fire which, on the night
of July s. destroyed the farm buildings
of Mrs. NJ. F.. Tebbetts of Beddington,
the investigation being conducted under
the provisions of Section 40 of Chapter
2S of the Revised Statutes. According
to the statement of the people in the
house they We're awakend by the fire
dropping on the kitchen stove from
around the chimney and they at once
gave the alarm to their neighbors, who
assisted them in saving their household
goods. The investigation was held for
the purpose OF determining the cause
Of the fire. The suspicion of the de-
partmcnt was aroused by the first re-
port, which indicated that the fire
originated in the barn or shed close
by, but nothing developed at the in
vestigation and it is considered prob
able that the fire was due to a de-
fective fue in the chimney. The mat
