adopt the policy Of erecting armo

put an end to much of the con-
troversy now constantly arising rel
alive to the fitness Of company quar-
tiers; secondly. it would have a tend

mean another advance in the type OF
men who would enlist.
An armory such as the State
should erect would cost about $50, 1000,
according to Gen. Greenlaw. 1t would
have the usual armory front, but the
bulk Of the building need not be over
one story in height. Such a building
would be for militia use and no other,

In the legislative sessions of 1905,
1907, 1909 and 1911, these fights over
the rights of seiners and weirmen
were among the big ones Of the Leg

sides. In each. session the two sides
spent large sums for counsel and other
fees and for bringing witnesses to Au-
gusta, keeping them here and other
