Bank Commissioners Query

Attorney General Pattangall render
ed the opinion at the request of Hon.
Irving Z. Vernon of Portland, State
bank commissioner. who wrote the at
torney generals department as fol-
lows:
The question has been asked me as
to the relation of two sections appear
ing in Chapter s, Revised Statutes, of
afne, being the sub oth and 18th
of Section 90.
"Sub-section 5th allows savings
banks to invest in the bonds Of any
corpora ton other than railroad and
water companies, which would seem to
include realty company owning ana
operating a given piece Of real estate.
Under that section there is no restric-
ton As to per cent. of bonds based up
on I valuation of the property, where
as. under subsection I, savings banks
can loan money on first mortgages of
real estate in this State to an amount
not exceeding go per cent of the value
Of such real estate.
In constructing the fifth section,
must we also limit the valuation to 90
per cent. as prescribed IN the SUISSE
ouent sub section. viz: The seventh.
May it not be argued in connection
with subsection five that new re-
striction is placed upon such bonds by
making the company issuing the mort
gage show earnings in excess of fixed
charges, etc. equal to per cent. on
an amount of capital stock equal to
one-half of it's entire funded debt, and
! thus do away with the 60 per cent.
clause as found in subsection seven.
In other words, giving two classes to
real estate mortgages which savings
! banks may take, the one mortgage
based upon 60 per cent. valuation with
no prescribed earning capacity. the
other doing away with the arbitrary or
fixed per cent valuation and substi-
tuting therefor a specified earning ca
pacity."

Richmond Arson Case

State Insurance Commissioner Erastus
J. Carter will go again to Bath Monday
to represent the State in further hear
ing of the cases against Samuel Hyman
and Morris Shiffer of Richmond, who are
now held under $1,000 bail upon two charges
in connection with the burning of the
building in which their store was located
at Richmond on May q, in which fire
Mrs. George Pushard and several chill
dren. who lived in the tenement above,
were with difficulty rescued.
The hearing Thursday developed a de-
feet in the original warrant in that 1t
charged that the two men were the own
ers Of the building asd while new war
rants were made by Judge Keegan OF
Bath municipal court Hyman and Shiffer
left Bath and were again apprehended
at Brunswick and brought back to the
Bath court, where they were admitted
to bail upon two charges, one for arson
and the other for attempt to defrard an
insurance company.
Sympathy in Richmond is very strong
for Mrs. Pushard who, with her children,
came so near losing her life in the burn
ing building and did lose all of her furni-
ture and personal effects. The family
has already been presented with $50 in
money, clothing and enough furniture for
starting housekeeping anew.

land has four companies, with an
amount of military property that ad-
vises insurance. Perhaps where a place
has but one company, with about $4,000
worth Of property, the State could af-
ford to carry the risk. That remains

gusta property is already partially in
Sured.
The Bangor Situation
The Bangor authorities have been
notified by Col. F. NJ. Hume of the I'd
Regiment, that owing to the absolute
unfitness Of the present armory quar-
ters the city is in danger of losing Co.
G. The Armory Commission has been
obliged to arrive at such decision, ow
ing to the insistance of the war depart
ment that suitable quarters shall be
provided or the company diSbanded.
The News, says the adjutant general,
has the situation we'll covered in the
following:
The State law governing such cases
was recently published by the News
in an article dealing with the situation.
Under the provisions the board of mu-
nicipal officers is held responsible for
proper provision for the National
Guard, under penalties Of sums sutti-
cient to be rather impressive.
The Armory Commission of the
State, through its duly authorized rep
resentatives, has thoroughly investi-
gated conditions in this city in regard
to the quarters for Co G and has rem
dered a verdict which is acquiesced in
by every citizen of Bangor who has
taken the trouble to visit the premises
and learn what meagre and entirely in
adequate accommodations are provid-
ed for the citizen soldiers.
The federal government supplies the
arms and equipment by the National
Guard, ard therefore has a voice in re-
gard to where they shall be stored and
can state whether the quarters proVid-
ed are suitable.
At the special meeting of the city
council, to be held on Monday night
next, the subject will be presented to
the boards, and it is now planned to
have a committee appointed to lnVesu-
gate and report on what can be Sc
cured in the way of quarters. That the
old armory must be abandoned is &C
copied as final by all, and an endeav-
or will be made to find accommodations
in a reasonable location which will be
acceptable
Bangor will retain Co. G without d
question by giving proper attention to
the matter as the proficiency of the
military organization is at high
stage and the city will not care to lose
! it.

National Guard

Special Orders No. 55, date of May
% has been issued at the office of the
adjutant general, ordering an election
for second lieutenant of Co. l, I'd Reg,
N. G. S. NJ. at P. NJ. Wednesday, June
Z. at the armory in Eastport. The pre-
siding officer will be Capt. MILFORD S.
Alexander.
The designations Of the following Off
GERS have been received by the adju-
tant general and accepted:
First Lieut.. John J. Coughlin. Sth
Co, c. A. c.. Lewiston.
First Lieut.. Myrick r. Gatchell, 10th
Co, c. A. c.. Brunswick.
Word has been received at the de-
partment that LIST Lieut.. John E. Brooks.
Eastport, of the Maine Medical Reserve
Corps, has passed the examination and
received his commission as a LIST lieu
tenant of the Medical Corps of the
United States Army. The department
says he is amply well qualified to make
valuable addition to the service.
Adjutant General Geo Mel. Presson
said Thursday that it had been suggest
ed in the matter Of the insurance which
the federal government now requires by
state on all government property in
the latter's possession, that insurance
might be placed thereon for the remain
der Of the present year, payment to be
made from the contingent fund, and
then put the matter squarely up to the
Legislature at the coming session The
adjutant generals department, through
the small appropriation made by the
Legislature for the National Guard. has
no money for such urposes-therefore
he was obliged to take the matter to
the Governor and Council.
Up to 10 days ago the federal gov
eminent has assumed responsibility and
in case Of fire losses, has reimbursed
the states, by charging off the loss
against the states allowance. unless the
state wished to pay cash for the prop
erty destroyed. Thus it has been a loss
in either way. because the federal al
1owance to each state is only about
enough to keep the National Guard in
working condition IS to equipment, etc
General Presson says that perhaps
partial insurance would be enough,
placed on those armories where the fire
conditions are bad. such as at Lewis
ton. where it is fire trap and not sani-
tary; at Skowhegan, where 1t is as neat
as wax. but fire trap: at Bangor,
where the conditions are the worst of
any place in the State. The conditions
are better in Waterville. being very
good. OF course in Portland the $780,
600 worth Of military property is in
| flre-proof structures; also that in the
military storehouse in Augusta.
OF the over 100000 worth Of prop
erty in our hands, only about 500. 900
! worth is insured. Over 100000 of the
Portland property is tied UP in the big
gun. The cost of the equipment of q
company Of infantry is about $4,000 and
that of a coast artillery company about
$4,000. 1t counts up heavily with some
thing like o6 Of the companies. Port

HOUSEWIVES AMAZED
$4,000 Machines Make Ice Cream More
Pure

Hundreds of visitors are being de-
lighted and educated by a trip through
the model plant of The Jersey Ice
Cream Co, of Lawrence. Women, es-
pecialy, watch with establishment the
wonderful scientific equipment which
produces ice cream of a purity surpass-
ing the fondest dreams of home cook
ing.
correspondent of this paper viewed
this Jersey" plant. which is well said
to be the best equipped, most hygienic
and sanitary ice cream factory in New
England The raw cream, which comes
from the Company own diaries in Yer
mont is not only carefully iced but is
pasteurized before shipment as pre-
vention against bacteria. On arrival at
the factory the cream is again pasteur-
lied d second time for further precau-
ton.
Then follows a most modern and in
tereSting process known as homogenz-
ing. The purpose of this is to break
up the Globules of butter fat and make
the ice cream a smooth, homogeneous
mixture, free from the unpleasant icy
spots that so often spoil dish of ice
cream otherwise satisfactory.
All this equipment, of course, for pas
teurizing, homogenizing and otherwise
perfecting the quality of the cream is
so costly as to be out Of the oues ton
except for ice cream making on an i'm
mense scale. The Company has an
enormous working capacity with a re-
serve sfprage capacity almost as great,
so that during a hot spell they can take
care of New England's most prodigious
demand for Jersey ice cream
Another piece of equipment, the ex-
pense of which runs into hundreds of
dollars, is the very recent type of clar-
ifier Although produced in high-grade
dairies with every possible care for
cleanliness, raw cream will still fall
short of perfect purity in spite Of all
straining. The Jersey Ice Cream Com
pany have therefore introduced this
new method known as clarifying,
which employs centrifugal force and
will remove impurities that could not
be reached by any other known pro-
cess.
In addition to these scientific mar
vels, there are all sorts of other re-
finements, such as the silver lined pip
ing, the live steam sterilizers, and the
refrigerating system which can pro-
duce a temperature SO low that ice
seems hot in comparison. Seeing such
things, which altogether represent an
investment of more than $40 900, it is no
wonder that even the best housekeep-
ers despair of rivalling the purity of
Jersey Ice Cream with that made at
home-as one visitor remarked: TT
can't be done"
In fact were it not for the enormous
quantity produced-the company sup
plies Jersey Ice Cream to hundreds of
stores throughout New England--the
price would necessarily be extremely
high. Only the very best of everything
is used; genuine high grade vanilla,
true fruit flavors. pure chocolate, and
choice selections of all other ingredi-
ents. But made on so large a scale
Jersey" can be sold by your store
at the usual price.

Hay Fever Fight

The State Board of Health is coop
Grating with the American Hay Fever
Preventative Association in attempting
to stop the spread of the disease in
this State and DIR. A. G. Young, the
secretary Of the State Board of Health.
has been in conference with officials Of
the Hay Fever Protective Association
in regard to the matter.
The president of the organization has
sent to Dr. Young list of the weeds.
the pollen from which, as it floats in the
air. causes the disease. The list in
cludes: Common rag weed, Roman
NORWOOD, great rag weed, western rag
weed. false NORWOOD, marsh elder,
western elder, careless weed. thorny
amaranth, cookie burr. false rag weed
and yellow dock. DR.. Young plans in
the health lectures that are given
throughout the State to introduce slides
showing such of these weeds as are
found in Maine and urge their cleaning
up and destruction as they grow in
waste places and beside the road.
DR.. Young states that contrary to
quent cause of hay fever The pollen
of the golden rod is sticky and is car
ried for the most part by bees instead
of being blown in dry form through
the air as is the case with the pollen
of the rag-weeds and similar plants.
Maine sufferers from hay fever will
undoubtedly greatly appreciate the eff
forts of DIR. Young in the direction of
making their chances of suffering from
the disease greatly less.
