Resignation of Miss Baker.

Miss Jennie P. Baker, who for years
has been prominently connected with
the Thomas Smiley store, Norway, has
much to the regret of many concerned
resigned her position.
Miss Baker was local manager for
several years, and is widely known as a
most reliable, efficient and courteous
business woman. She has felt because
of mum berless cares connected with the
business that q change was best, and
first Of all will take good rest, but we
are sure one as energetic and capable as
she will, as soon as rested, take re-
sponsible place in the business world,
where her countless friends wish to see
her and are confident she will fill large
place.

Violent or Accidental Death.
DUTIES TO BE PERFORMED IN coNNEc'
TON WITH THE CASE.

Brief abstract of certain portions OF
Chapter 1872, Public Laws OF 1915, (Medi.
cal Examiners Act) relating to duties Of
divers persons. prepared especially fol-
the information Of the public utilities Of
the State.
One finding body of . person who
may be supposed to have met his death
by violence or unlawful act, must imme'
diately notify
~ A municipal officer, q police of.
Ger, or constable, II 10 town or city.
(2) An assessor, II In a plantation.
Isl II in an unorganized place, the
| most readily accessible Of such officials
in any town, city or plantation In the
county.
The person 80 notified shall take and
retain charge of the body without re-
moval until the arrival OF medical ex-
aminer, the county attorney or the
attorney general.
The person so finding such body, or
the official In charge theI eof, shall imme-
diately notify the most readily accessible
medical examiner in the county and the
county attorney thereof who shall at once
notify the attorney general.
The medical examiner shall 60 at once
to the body, and, before Its removal,
shall reduce or cause to be reduced to
writing, a description Of the location and
position of the body, and any and all
facts that may be deemed important In
determining the cause OF death.
This does not relieve the utility OF its
duty to notify the Public Utilities Com
mission OF fatal accidents occurring on
or in connection with the operation OF its
properties.
1t is recommended that the representa-
tives of the several utilities familiarize
themselves with the names and resi-
deuces of the medical examiners of the
counties in and through which they OPP
crate.
1t ia not to be inferred from this state
ment that this Commission has or as
sumes any official relation with the Med
ical Examiners Statute. These sugges-
lions are made solely to assist the utilities
and in the hope that they may aid In
avoiding the repetition of some unneces-
sary delays which have occurred In the
recent past and for which neither the
Commission nor the utilities involved
have been in any way responsible.
The Public Utilities Commission has
absolutely no jurisdiction over the dis.
position of the body of the deceased, and
no power to hasten its removal from the
place Of accident.
TO the above, prepared by the Public
Utilities Commission, the Democrat
would add for information that under
the law Oxford County has two medical
examiners, who are Il. L. Bartlett, M.
D of Norway, and William I. Rowe,
NJ. D., of Rumford.

VIII Build Town Hall at Rumford.

At a town meeting held in RumfOrd on
the 2lst, the sum of $50, 900 was author
lied raised by loan as an additional ap'
preparation toward the construction Of a
municipal building and court house.
The appropriation made at former
meeting was s45, 900, but this was found
to be insufficient. In addition to the
amount raised by the town, the county
of Oxford is required to contribute the
sum of $25 900, which makes total OF
800, 900 available for the building.
By the terms of the legislative act, fol
the sum provided the county In to have
perpetual use Of the necessary parts Of
the building for the terms of court now
held at Rumford, without charge.

We are now importing building sand
from Ireland 1t is being used mostly
in New York City. Not that Irish
sand Is any better for mixing mortar
than American sand. The stuff is
brought as ballast, and having arrived
at port is sold for a trifle or given
away, because there's a law against
dumping sand in the bay.
Luckily for shipowners, there is no
tariff on sand; otherwise they'd have
to pay money to get rid OF it, after
burning lot of coal to bring it over
The owners OF domestic sandbanks
have made no demand for tariff pro
lection, either, and it isn't likely they
will, since nature has made sand so
plentiful around New York that dredg-
Ing II out of the harbor is one of the
city's leading industries
The importation of sand is strik
ing index to the status Of the foreign
trade. Vessels bound for Europe are
loaded to the matches, and on the re-
turn voyage are seldom able to get
enough cargo to serve as mere ballast
1t Is. reminder of the similar situa-
ton 200 years ago, when the lack of
American-bound cargoes impelled yes
sclmen TO ballast their ships with
Dutch brick on the westward trip.
They had to sell it very cheaply, for
the colonies in those days made excel
lent brick. That accounts for the many
houses around New York built of
Dutch brick at that time.
