MIR President, I would like to have
the senators understand clearly the
position in our county. In Aroos-
took county we have two registry of
fices. one in the southern and one in
the northern portion: one at Houlton
and one at Madawaska. 1t seemed to
be generally known TO people inter-
ested that with the registry Office |
in the northern district, the deeds and
mortgages on file there We're not prop |
erly protected. They are in an old |
shack of a building. and it was thought |
something ought TO be done to protect |
the records there 1t also seemed to |
be the general opinion that the loca-

of the fact that where it is now 10
Gated it is away from the railroad |
ard not easy of access. Therefore q |
bill was drawn. l think projected from
the county commissioners OF the coun- |
", pfoNiuHlS lIdt an amount not e&- |
ceeding $4,000 should be raised for n
new registry in Aroostool county
This bill was referred to the Aroos-
took delegation The bin was prop
erly advertised and a hearing was
held thereon. The matters We're
threshed out l think fairly on both
sides. The two points designated or
argued on for Il location We're Van
Buren and Fort Kent, and after dis
cussing. pro and con. il was decided
by 4 large majority vote of the dele
cation TO locate the registry at Van
Buren. We supposed that settled the
matter, but evidently it did not for
when the matter came up in the
House it was amended by referring
the matter to the people Of the north
crn registry in Il referendum
| do not know that I would have
anything in particular to say in op-

people of this district. the town OF

sum OF $4,000. Each !,wn, Van Ruren
and Fort Kent. is obligated To sup
