apnoRrIoNMENT COMMITTEE.
Several Counties Have eportedz Their
CIassifications. - ----~----''.-.

The committee on apportionment
will hold another meeting on Tuesday
of next week at which time the matter
of senatorial apportionment will un-
9oubtedly be decided. The question
at issue is whether Hancock county
shall be given two senators as it has
at present or whether the number
shal! be reduced to one. Five coun-
ties are now making a claim for their
senator, Cumberland, Pcnobscot, An
drOScoggin, oxford and Hancock.
Cumberland has the largest majority
fraction for the senatorShip, Penobscot
is next and the other three counties
are punched with very little difference
between them.
The committee has decided upon the
number OF representatives for each
county upon what seems TO be n sat
isfactory basis. Under the new APP
portionmcnt .tndroscogetn is to hav"
the same as now, II; .iroOstook. -.
