The superintendent OF the Home is

house, but the superintendent must
furnish the table and care for the In
mates. Medical assistance Is given
the inmates by the county physician,
who receives the salary OF $40 per
month.
There are at present eleven men

LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE
Bureau Is Being lnausurated by State
Librarian Holmes.

State Librarian Herbert e. Holmes
is inaugurating Legislative Refer
ence Bureau in connection with the
work. of the State library, for the pur-
pose of rendering aid to members of
the new Legislature in studying pro-
posed legislation and in drafting new
bills
This idea originated in Wisconsin
and number of states have made
appropriations for such a reference
bureau. Maine has no appropriation
available for this purpose but the
State librarian proposes to carry the
plan along as far as feasible with
the regular State library force and
appropriation.
The scope of the bureau can best
be explained by taking up a single
proposed measure, such as the Work
ingmen's Compensation Act Suppose
the person drafting this act were de-
string of obtaining the aid of the State
library in the matter and applied to
the librarian for such aid He would
first receive prepared brief, which
would tell what had been done by 9TH
er states in the matter of such leg
islation and would give the status of
pending acts. Then, if the legislator
planning to draw such an act, was
DESTROYS of having one drafted to car
ry out certain ideas which he proposed
to incorporate in it, he would receive
a drafted bill, which would contain
those ideas suitably Incorporated.
Such plan will be likely to appeal
in particular to members of the Leg
islature who have not had legal train
ing.
Mr. Holmes has already had appli-
cations for preparing of briefs and
dra fling of bills in connection with
10 or. 20 proposed measures. The in
formation thus given out is considered
confidential and the name OF the per-
son asking or the nature of the legis-
lation in regard to which he is max
ing inquiry will not be made public
Mr.. Holmes began working upon this
plan as early as October and num-
Der of briefs nave already been pre-
pared and sent out and others are in

STATE HOUSE.
Bristol Town Division Is
Again Agitated.
R. R. COTnrs. Do Not Approve B.
& M. $7,500,0OO Bond Issue.
State Librarian lnaugurates a Legis-
iative Reference Bureau.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and Coun-
Gil, Thursday, Dec. 19, at 10 A. M.

A bill for the division of the town
of Bristol will be presented early in
the present session of the Legisla-
ture. The proposed separation will
be somewhat different from that
sought, two years ago, and will seek
to set off that portion of the town
known as South Bristol from the main
portion of the town.
South Bristol has population of
about 500 people, who are interested
in fishing and caring for summer
visitors, while the remainder OF the
town has a population of a little over
1000. The residents of South Bristol
are nine miles from the town High
school and 10 miles from the town.
house. Teams are few in that local.
ity and it is stated by one of the pro-
ponents that if all of the teams in
South Bristol were put in use they
would not be sufficient to haul the
voters of that section to the town
polling place and as result measures
in their interest are voted down while
they are compelled to help pay for
improvements in other sections of the
town from which they receive no ben
eft.
Judge Warren c. Philbrook of Au-
gusta and Hon. Cyrus r. Topper of
Boothbay Harbor are the proponents
of the measure for the division of the
town. The town of Bristol has kept
its territory intact since 1928, when
Bremen was set off in 1928

LACK JURISDICTION.
Railroad Commissioners Refuse APP
prevail 3. G. M. Bond Issue.

The State Board of Railroad Com
missioners. Friday, refused to grant
the petition of the Boston & Maine
Railroad Co. for approval of a pro-
posed bond issue of $500 900 giving
as a reason for refusal that the petit
ton did not appear to be within the
jurisdiction of the board
The purpose of the proposed bond
issue. as set forth in the petition OF
the Railroad Co, was for making adj
ditions to the equipment of the com
pany, for abolishing grade crossings
for making present improvements to
the road, for refunding the foatine
debt, and for paying and refundins
the first mortgage bonds of the Wor-
cester, Nashua & Rochester Railroad
Co. of the par value of SSH 900, and
for other necessary and lawful pur-
poses The bonds are to be 20-year
bonds with interest payable semi-an-
nually at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent.
per annum.
The attitude of the commissioners is
that under the Maine statute a railroad
corporation is notl obliged TO ask the
approval of the railroad commissioners
to bond issue as is the case when cap
ital stock is increased. They therefore
consider the petition needless, as far
as the State of Maine is concerned
