Brownville Junction, Me-, Feb. e.
The residents of this hustling rail-
road town are greatly interested in re-
cent developments which indicate that
the town is soon to have a Y. M. c.
A. building which will compare ia
vorably with any in the State and fill
a long-felt want in the affairs of the
town. The need of an institution of this
sort is felt more forcibly every year,

stantly increasing business, especially
in winter. have brought an ever in
creasing number of transient residents
The town is without any facilities of
the sort which Y. M. c. A. building
would provide and the erection of the
building in the near future is looked
forward to with a great deal of antici-
patton.
The matter of the erection of Y. NJ.
g. A. building here has been under
consideration for a long time. Since the
erection of the Y. M. c. A. at Green
Vile, which has proved SO successful
fer the purposes for which it was

Eounced than ever The principal oh
stacle in the development of the plans
has been the lack of funds, but now it
comes from authoritative sources that

road the town owes its existence,
stands ready to contribute $4,000 to-
ward the erection of q Y. Nj. c. A.

ripple of interest in the House on Tues
day morning, when it came up for the
acceptance of the report Of the commit
tee on judiciary, which also carried u
new draft Representative Emerson OF
Lewiston moved that it be tabled, pend
ing the acceptance of the report and the
printing of 1900 copies. Discussion and
explanations of the proper procedure took
up considerable time and a viva vocc
vote on the motion left the Chair in
doubt. On motion of Rep. Emerson the
vote was taken by yeas and nays, re-
sulting in Il yeas and GO noes.
Representative Harrington of Augusta
stated that he should be against his
friend from Lewiston in the final clash
but now, in fairness to the people OF
Lewiston he should vote yes on this mo-
ton.
Rep. Emerson stated that the original
bill had contained the referendum but
that it had been eliminated from the new
draft and he thought it an injustice TO
the people of Lewiston and he wanted
them to have sufficient time and SUM-
Gent copies of the bill to study and I'M
derstand the situation.
The utmost interest was given KEEP
