to the mayors and selectmen OF

members are appointed for a term Of
years, their successors to be named
later, to provide for the retirement
of a member each year, SO that but
one appointment will come in any
one year. 1t is also customary to
provide for the filling Of a vacancy,
bot the latter provision was omitted
from the law creating the Board of
Trustees of Juvenile Institutions, so
that a peculiar and unusual situa-
ton exists.
A vacancy OCCURRED in the MEM
bership and an appointment was
made, the appointee going into Off
ce for the full term of four years.
The law was then amended by the
Legislature and here arise the pecu-
liar situation. The next appointee
was to fill out the unexpired term of
his predecessor, so that two terms OF
office will expire in 1922, those of
William H. Waterhouse Of Old Town
president Of the board, and William
N. Taylor Of Portland. This condi-
ton will prevail forever, unless the
LEGISLATURE makes further change in
the law.
A similar condition has also arisen
with the Board of Trustees Of the
State Normal School, no provision
having been incorporated in the law
providing for filling any vacancy ex-
cept expiration of a term. Trustee
Edwin w. Hamlen Of Milo, whose
term would have expired in 1923, has
recently resigned and his successor
has been appointed, William Lyons
Of Westbrook. whose confirmation,
was made on Wednesday by the Elk
ecutive Council. Without provision
for filling the vacancy, Mr. Lyons
term will be the full four years
Trustee Fred w. Thurlow's term will
expire this year, so that when 1924
arrives, two vacancies will occur ir
the same year.
