Handsome Chart Work

The Legislatures Of 1887, 1891, 1898
and 1915 have been providing for
charts Of the land surveys and prac-
tically all of the work has been COM
pleted, though Knox was left out, be-
cause only one copy Of the survey of
that county was made and that of
course had to be filed in the State
archives. The Legislature Of 1915
sought to remedy and Chapter Of
the Resolves provided that copy
should be made and filed with the reg
lister Of deeds of the county. Civil En-
gineer Henry F. Hill Of Augusta was
engaged for the work and he on Mon,
day delivered the charts to Fore stry
Commissioner Mace. They are at pres
cnt Il sheets in number, of about 26fs
by PSF inches in size and as handsome
work of that kind as you might wish
to see. To complete the set, two at
tested tracings will be secured from
the secretary of state of the state Of
Massachusetts Of parts not covered in
the present sheets. and they will then
be bound in book fern and sent to
the register of deeds of Knox county
at Rockland.

RESOLUTIONS OF WoMEN's CITY
CLUB CALLS JAKEY LOEB
CIVIL SERVICE WRECKER
Direct accusation that Jake Loeb,
school board president, is a civil serY-
ice wrecker is contained in resolu-
lions of the Woman's City club exec
utive committee.
Both Herald and Examiner this
morning printed these resolutions.
But the Tribune, school land lessee,
and hacker of Jake Loeb, did NOT
print them. Signed by eight women
never known to make reckless state
ments, it is the most serious i'm
parchment of Jake Loeb's motives
that has recently come from non
partisan, impartial organization.
''The merit clause, relating to the
teachers tenure of Office, has been
stricken out and the rights and obi
cations of teachers are left in a
looseIy-defned condition, resulting
in a Usurpation of power by the
school board" say the resolutions.
Arbitrary action by the president of
the board and his followers has re-
suited in the dismissal of teachers
who were marked efficient by their
principals.
I'VE protest against such arbitra-
ry procedure in matters that should
be decided by modern methods based
