BILL SEEKS REPEAL
STATE PIER PROJECT

An attempt to upset the State pier
project is taking form in the guise of
a bill that seeks to repeal legislation
enacted by the last Legislature and
Rep. John f. Davis Of Freeport has
been selected to introduce the bill be-
ing drawn by Walter A. Gowan, a
Hallowell attorney.
Those who seek to set aside the law
which became operative with adop-
ton Of a constitutional amendment.
say they believe it unconstitutional
for the State to assist in financing the
project.
1t is said that supporters of the re-
peal bill will declare that business Gre
ated by erection of such a pier would
b'. beneficial only to the city of Port
land. Furthermore. the charge is pre-
erred that tax payers Of the State
should not be burdened with tax
for such purpose.
Those who have been aware that a
movement Of this sort was on foot
claim they can trace the origin back
to South Portland where an unsuc-
cessfui attempt to have site in that
city selected occasioned late oppose
ton to the whole project. Refusal Of
Mayor Mcdonald and Treasurer Card
ner to join with Mayor Clarke, Treas
Gilmartin and Henry r. Merrill of
this city In organizing the pier site
commission q ew months ago WAS
followed by litigation which was
transferred to the Law Court bv
agreement to have the law and Sae
constitutional amendment construed
as to legality. This case Is pending
and decision will go Tar toward either
promoting or abandoning the project.
Mr.. Merrill stated Monday that he
had been aware Of this move to no
launched in the Legislature, for some
time, but he had no fear of any suc-
cess for the proposed bill and further
more he Is confident the Law Court
will sustain the act and amendment.
Some restlessness invariably arises
when . big project encounters obsta-
cles and Is delayed but he and his AZ.
sociates on the pier commission have
no fear Of the outcome eventually.

WHEN JEFFERSON TOOK OATH
Early Presidential Inauguration at
Which There Was an Abundance
of III Feeling.

The first Jefferson Inauguration had
more drama about it than its three
predecessors. The President-elect was
received upon the portico of the new
ly completed north wing of the capt.
tOl by Aaron Burr, whom jefferson
cordially distrusted. And the oath of
office was administered by one of his
bitterest enemies, Chief Justice Mar
shall, who had been appointed to Of
flee by Adams in the closing days of
the administration, an act which JEFF
ferson regarded as not only an i'm
propriety but personal affront. JEFF
ferson's feelings towards Burr and
Marshall were well known.
Then the new president was escort
ed to the senate chamber, where he
delivered his inaugural address, one
of the most notable of all such
speeches. He was afterward escorted
TO his boarding house, where he re-
ceived the congratulations of the for
eign diplomats and of the leaders of
the popular party, who reioiced over
the defeat of the Federalists.
