Mr.. Orcutt was born IN Holden, and
was fifty four years OF age. he grew up
in that town, and was located there until
about twenty years ago when he came to
Ellsworth, and opened the little shop on
Water street where he became 60 well

before he moved to Ellsworth be married,
his wife's maiden name being Zupha
Lawrence, and the twenty years OF we'd
ded life have been years Of happiness for
them.
Perhaps Mr.. circuit will be best remem-
bcrcd for his genial way by which he won
so many friends. As a workman he
needed not to be ashamed; as a man he
was honest and kindly. He was member
OF Lejok lodge, /. o. o. F., Nokomis Reb-
ekah lodge and Bayside grange. His fell
lowsnip with the members OF these organ
izations was most hearty, and he was held
by them in highest esteem. He has round
ed out life that has been useful and
helpful, and his death means loss not
only to the home but also to the orders
mentioned above and the entire commune

His wife and his sister, Mrs. E. E.

the sympathy OF q wide circle Of friends.
Funeral services were held at the home

&C Turned Down"
ELLSWORTH, Me-, June 6, 1911

To the Editor of The american:
The unceremonious turning down by the
board of aldermen at its meeting last Mon
day evening of the special committee ap-
pointed last March to investigate and
report on the financial status of the city
on last settlement day-Feb. 13-was a
curious proceeding.
The occasion for the appointment OF this
committee was the fact that the financial
statement as printed in the city report
was incorrect, several important items in
both assets and liabilities having been
omitted. While this was properly the
work of the finance committee, the mayor
thought it best to ask two persons outside
the board, if they would consent, to under
take the work.
With the assent of the full board the
mayor appointed the undersigned who
promptly went to work. Heads OF depart
ments were interviewed, accounts and
books were examined, cordial corporation
was extended until the committee reached
the collector Of taxes, who is also special
collector OF certain back taxes, extending
as far back as 1887.
With the exception Of the lists for 1887,
1889 and 1899, the committee was unable
to get at the lists. The collector is also
the custodian of the tax-deeds owned by
the city, and list of these the committee
was unable to get at. Inasmuch as
these back taxes and thetax- deeds involve
some S20, 600 of the city's alleged assets, the
importance OF verifying these lists is
obvious, and yet it was just here that the
ing the ground that the committee had no
authority to examine the lists in his keep
ing. He went farther, claiming that the
board of aldermen had no authority to ap-
point such committee, and hence could
not compel him to show his books to the
committeeman technically he is prob
ably correct.
While it is true that the collector made
no formal refusal OF the request to show
his books, his attitude plainly evidenced
his intention, and the committee finally
ceased its attempts to get at them, and in
formally reported the situation to the
board.
Although at the May meeting the COM
mittee was given indefinite time to report,
the board last Monday evening brought
the matter up, and voted to discharge the
committee, with thanks" and that, too.
in spite Of the mayors suggestion that it
be given further time.
The reason for this ridiculous proceed
ing appears to be based on the collectors
dissatisfaction with the personnel Of the
committee. II this is true, it would be in
teresting to the citizens OF Ellsworth to
know who is running this city = the duly
elected oficials, or Q subordinate who
holds &2o, 900 of the city's assets, and who
refuses to submit them for inspection to

With the completion of the repair
work on the fire house in the city,

of fire is turned In. Between fires
the men will take care of the fire
houses and the apparatus.
Plans and specifications are now
under way in the hands Of Architect
j. K. Jensen for a new fire house for
Liberty Hook and Ladder Company.
With the completion of this build
ing it is the plan of the city to buy a
new hook and ladder, upon the ar

placed In one of the fire houses in
the business section and the present
hook and ladder in that house trans
