noon in an effort to ascertain what reim-
bursement the sheriffs are to get for their
who have failed to return their question
naires TO the office of the local board of
Orange county. He was much surprised
when he turned over quite list OF those
who cannot be found, to learn that the
federal government has not as vet pro-
yided any way in which TO pay the Off
GERS of his station and that they have
been giving their service free gratis He
wondered who was to settle his livery
expenses to get the summons into the
hands of the delinquents and who was to
pay for the heating of the county court
house in Chelsea, which the local board
has been using. No provision has as yet
been made by the federal government in
either instance. Sheriff Reed did not
mind giving his time, but he would like
payment for team hire.

mittee met at the State House Tuesday
afternoon relative to the completion of
the building. They discussed many
phases of the work. The color of the dec
orations and many little details were
under consideration. One of the bigger
matters was the heating plant. The act,
by which the construction takes place,
provided that the heating of the two
buildings shall be from the plant in the
new building, so the matter of taking
out the old heating plant in the capitol
was discussed while. The remodeling
of the rooms in the old capitol, when the
new one is ready for occupancy, occu-
pied some of the time. 1t is expected
that the work on the new building viii
go along better now than it has for the
last few months.
