Council Notes

Councillor Norton informed Cover
nor Milliken Tuesday evening that
Rev. Charles F. King of the Christian
Advent Church of Portland desired 10
tender his services as volunteer
chaplajn. to be available whenever
they shall be needed. He is partlcu-
larly anxious to serve, as he stated
that no chaplain had as yet been ap-
pointed from his denomination.
INQUIRY being made about the pro-
posed new National Guard regiment in
Maine, Governor Milliken informed the
Council that the government makes
requirement that it be organized on
precisely the line of the old National
Guard. 1t is thought that this will
give many of those men rejected by
the particularly severe physical ex-
animation by the Federal surgeons a
chance of having military training.
Warden Frank J. Ham and Prison
Commissioners Boynton and Har-
graves were present Tuesday evening
to request new boilers at the State
prison, stating that one had been con-
demned and the other soon would be.
A new boiler house was strongly
recommended. the old location. under
the broom shop, being dangerous and
uncomfortable for the inmates. Their
presentation resulted in an emergency
order being passed to relieve the situ-
alton.
Trustees Of the State Hospitals. the
Juvenile institutions and of the
tuberculosis Sanitariums were at the
Executive department Tuesday, about
all day and evening. in conference on
business matters of importance.
1t was pleasing to hear the report
of Governor Milliken that Maine had
heen the first State to file Vocational
Education plans with the government
at Washington and that DR.. Thomas
plans are now being used there as the
sample plan for the guidance Of other
states. Agriculture and shipbuilding
are the two subjects that will probably
