porary Patches, Pending Re-
Surfacing by County.

r. NJ. Clayton, chief of construction
mas informed the Fulton county COM
mission that the city, apprehensive of
damage suits, will begin at once to

surfacing project contemplated by the
county is begun this spring.
Nym Hurt superintendent of streets,

dertaken by the city would be Of the
makeshift variety, costing She city not
more than 800. Now he asserted, the
street is practically impossible, and I'M
less something is done the municipality
is liable daily for damages.
According TO Chairman Smith, it is
the tentative plan of the Fulton COM
mission 10 resurface the entire thor
oughfare between Sixth and Fifteenth
streets this spring The only hitch in
the county's project is delay An reach
ing an agreement with Warren Bros,
the firm which put down the pavement.
1t is understood that George War
rem, president of the material firm, dur
ing a recent visit to Atlanta. agreed to
furnish the county with material to
make the repairs on representations
that the pavement had not been up to
standard The commission wants suf-
fcient material to lay a whole new sur
face. Negotiations with the Warren
Bros. are pending
gotiations with the Warren Bros. are
pending.
Recently committees of residents OF
Peachtree affected by the deplorable
condition of the pavement visited both
the street committee of council and the
public works committee Of the Fulton
board. The county authorities gave as
surance that the Peachtree work would
be included in the 1913 program, and
would be undertaken this spring.

X, of this city. had an argument last
night with the cashier of our local
bank as to the relation of de-
positor with the bank. Mr.. \ said
that the bank became trustee OF
the funds, while the cashier in
sisted that the relation was that of
debtor and creditor. Several mer-
chants have entered into the dis
cussion. and to settle the dispute
we would like to get the opinion of
your legal department.
COMMITTEE.
The cashier is right. When money is
placed in a bank on general deposit, the
title to the money Immediately passes
to the bank, and the relation of debtor
and creditor is created between the
bank and the depositor. The moment
the deposit is made, the credit of the
banker is substituted for the money.

Curator James on
Plumage of Birds.

The K. Us Gossipper was talking
with Curator James of the State Muse
um about the plumage Of birds, when
Mr.. James gave it as his opinion that
the reason why the male birds have
in so many species such beautiful
plumage and the females as a rule
are so modestly garbed in their feather
coats is because all the males have to
dc is to fit about and look pretty while
the females of the species have to
hatch the eggs and attend to household
duties On the nest. So the mother birds
are given feathers that harmonic with
the surroundings of nature. Were they
as conspicuous as their male mates,
they would be easy prey to enemies.
Take the wood ducks for example, the
Lord and the Lady and what a
magnificent coat and hat his Lordship
years and how modest is the Lady S
brown plumaged gown Some birds, for
example sea gulls. have two coats a
year, brown and white like the rab-
bits changeabie fur.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of the Governor and
Council, at 10 A. M, Tuesday, Dec. %.

Returns from the blanks recently
sent out to the overseers of the poor
houses within the State are slowly
coming into the office of the state
Board of Charities and Corrections, and
the general tendency of these is to
show that the number of poorhouses
in Maine is on the decrease rather
than the increase. This does not mean
necessarily. that there are fewer poor
people in the State than formerly. 1t
simply shows that many of the towns
prefer to take care of their poor at
other places rather than upon town
farm. And In small towns this has
been found often to be far more profit
able. The cost of maintaining a town
farm in a small place is large COM
pared to the amount of money needed
to board these people in private
homes.
The blanks sent out by the board
were for the purpose of gathering in
formation relative to the condition or
the poorhouses in the State-informa-
ton which the board must have in
order to properly carry on its work.
About half of the towns written to
remaining towns will be heard from
within the next two weeks in order
that the returns may be Incorporated
into the annual report of the board.
In connection with the return of these
blanks, Sec. J. F. Bagley reports a
noticeable feature, that almost without
exception the small towns have been
the first to be heard from.
In order to instantly refer to the
institutions under the general super
vision of the board. Sec. Bagley has
adopted a novel idea. Upon good
sized map of Maine colored pins are
placed, each color representing a
different class Of institution. At a
glance it can be seen Just where
the children's homes that receive
State aid, for instance, are located for
they are designated by blue pins. OF
course, a card index is also used in
the office, but for quick reference, this
scheme has proved very good.
