In view of these circumstances and the
pronounced disinclination TO speculate
on the long side on account of money
conditions. bear traders felt justified in
putting out new lines. Selling was on
a limited scale, however,, and the mar

told of many other societies and lodges
in Portland which We're exempt except
ON that section of their buildings
which were used for business pur-'
poses. He explained the cost of run

more than the total receipts of the

fene the legal affairs committee, on
Thursday afternoon. to support two
measures presented. One aimed to
provide a fireman or two firemen in
every theatre, concert hall and place
of entertainment in the State when
performance was on. The other
would make all members of the fire
department hold office until 60 years
of age unless removed for inetficieney
or for some other cause.
The fire chiefs were in favor of both
measures, but there was opposition.
The first act in particular brought out
an army of legal lights to oppose il.
b. w. blanchard conducted this hear
ing for the proponents and declared
there should be regular firemen in all
the .city's places of amusement so
that the lives of women and children
could be protected. He said that, at
many of the nickel theatres scattered
all over the State, the audience has
TO get out by one or two exits and
should an emergency arise, there
should be a fireman on hand to lead
them out calmly. Chief Mason OF
Bangor and Chief Buckley of Angus

the measure.

fact that by the bill every little Grange
