OPPOSITION IS STRONG.
China Residents Against Exempting
kennebec Water District.

Representative Dutton of China who
introduced bill Thursday morning in
the Legislature for the exemption of
the Kennebec Water District from
taxation. stated to a Journal reporter
during the day that there was a strong
opposition in China to the exemption
of the water district from taxation.
THE Water District owns several
thousand dollars worth of valuable
property in China which it wishes to
have exempted from taxation. Includ-
ed in this property is farm. which
it recently purchased of Mr.. Jealous.
the agent of North Vassalboro woolen
mills. They have refused to pay a
tax upon this farm on the ground
that 1t was an abandoned farm, that
there was no stock kept upon it and
that 1t was only used summers. But
since purchasing it they have leased
the farm back to it's former owned.
Mr.. Jealous. The farm is three miles
from the intake of the water district
and the assessors believe in view of
the fact that the farm is three miles
from the intake of the Water District

ment to make the time 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. There is work that
has got to be done some time. We have
heard il said here this morning that
there are no bills to be considered.
Mr.. Speaker, there never will be any
bills to be considered if we don't stay
here and fix them up. l know that
there were bills that were in prepara-
ton yesterday and they could not be
perfected so as to get here in time for
this session. Now those bills, and
presume there are many of them,
might come in today and action had
upon them tomorrow. and if this order
is passed there is one day gone, and
it seems to me that it would be better
to get those bills started and get them
into the committees and get something
doing than to go home every week in
the middle of the week and let things
bang. There is something to be done,
