the question OF providing an armory
that will be satisfactory to the Maine
ArmorY Commission The Brunswick
Record in an editorial advocates the
making of suitable quarters out of
the old armorE in the rear of the Town
building, Which WAS erected - years
ago at a cost Of $1,000 This building
was occupied for Is years for armorY
purposes, at the end of which time tile
company recently disbanded, moved to
the building at the corner Of Maine
and Mason streets, which was burned
last year.

proposition that the Town hall could

pers office at the State House and the
testimony offered By them was record
ed by Fred 5. Rand of Augusta the

Mr.. Upper next took mp the statute

Tennysen Dickens, son Of the late
