Parish Juryman, Ward 6, sent in 6
most carefully prepared record, to-
gether with properly signed vouchers
FIR al 'u2is handled by him from! Oc.
tober, 1913, to May 3lst, 1913. We
teannot refrain from commenting Mr..
Page for the. most excellent manner in
which he accounted for funds entrusted
to him, and for the realty, we'll kept
and comprehensive record shown of his
wards operations. All Ward and Dis
trict funds, are now being handled di-
rectly by the Police Jury office. except
those of Ward 6, which are still handled
by the Juryman of that Ward, although
we called attention, in our previous re-
port. that such procedure was illegal,
and the law, governing that point,
should be observed.
Our representative was impressed by
the absence, during your administra
ton, of the transferring of funds, from
one fund to another, and the discon-
tinuance of the custom, of members of
the Police Jury profting by the Office
held by them.
The records and files of your office
were in most excellent shape, except
the District Court Jury, Witness and
Election Script, which disorder was
caused by the obsolete method of hand
ling same, and in this connection we
suggest that, when redeemed, this
script be filed in numerical order, and
that record of outstanding be kept,
which was being held by the
representative banks redeeming same,
and those that had not been presented
for payment. The payment of this
script is by warrants issued by the
Clerk of the Court, against the General
fund, but the General Fund does not |
show this liability or disbursement |
until the script has been taken up by |
the Parish Treasurer, from the banks
which had redeemed it, regardless of
the amount redeemed and the time it
IS held by the banks.
The accompanying Exhibits and
Schedules show that the funds received
by the Treasurer. from the Tax Co.
ector, and other sources, have been
accounted for. Asyou relieved

items, from the records of the Treas,

the Treasurer be removed to the Court
House and located preferably near the

/, We cannot refrain from again saying
that the records of your office are in
most excellent shape with the excep-
ton noted, and the filing of warrants
has been: neatly and carefully done,
making them easily accessible for ref
erence. Respectfully submitted,

POTATO NOTES

Fort Fairfield Review-Potatoes
are growing as rapidly and looking
as we'll as ever seen. In very few
places, however, in the lowest spots,
there has been too much water for
their good. However, this trouble
does not obtain so much In the
Aroostook Valley as it does in south
ern Aroostook. where the soil is less
FAVORABLE for crops during Il wet
spell. The spraying has been very
slightly done this year owing to the
prolonged bad weather. Even when
spraying was done, the materials
were promptly washed off by some
sharp shower This lack Of spray
ing renders the crop peculiarly open
to attacks from rust. which we are
all now fearing, the conditions late
ly having been very favorable for it's
development. Indeed it is said to
have come already in some places,
but is not vet showing to any alarm
ing extent.
Review-Potatoes in IS days from
the time Of planting is getting
around some. We noticed in the
window of the Fort Fairfield Drug
Company the other day some pota-
toes that were two inches to . IA
inches in diameter and that had
been grown in IS days after the time
Of planting. Aroostook is a country
that hurries considerably when ii
has the mind to do so.

This is an important matter which
will be of interest to other towns
throughout the States as well as

wives are not native Of Phippsburg
but have been brought there by their
soldier husbands when they were
