municipalities Have State
Publications Only in Trust

Deputy Attorney General William
H. Fisher of Augusta has just given
an opinion to State Librarian H. E.
Dunnack to the effect that municipal
officers have no right under the law
to give the custody and use of the
Maine Reports given into its care to
an individual not a resident of that
town. The text of the opinion, under
date of July Z, 1921, says:
In reply to your question as to
the right Of municipal officers of a
town TO give the custody and use of
its Maine Reports to an individual
not a resident of the town.
Prior to 1895 there seems to have
been no legislation relative to dis
tribution of Maine Reports to towns
and plantations but the custom had
grown up Of sending such reports as
published to the different municipali-
ties of the State.
THE Legislature of 1895, recog-
nizins this custom, passed an act
providing for the distribution of pub
lie documents, which act is now in
cOrporated in Chapter of the Re-
vised Statutes by which it is provid-
ed in Sections %, 26 and ~, as fol-
lows:
All Maine Reports, Statutes,
digests. acts and resolves and other
publications, printed or purchased by
the State, and hereafter distributed
according to law or custom, to the
several towns and plantations within
the State, shall be and remain the
property of the State, and shall be
held in trust by such towns or PLAN
tations for the sole use Of the in
habitants thereof and for no other
purpose.
"'All such books and publications
as may hereafter be furnished by the
state. to any State, county or town
officer, shall be and remain the prop
erty of the State. and shall be held
in trust by said officer, for the sole
use Of his said Office and at the
expiration of his term of office or on
his removal therefrom by death,
resignation or other cause such Of
ficer or if he be dead. his legal
representatives. shall turn over to
his successor in Office all Of said
books and publications so furnished
by the state and shall take o receipt
therefor
"'All Maine. Reports, Revised
Statutes, public laws and digests
distributed by the librarian of the
State Library to the several towns
and public officers in the State, shall
be plainly marked upon the cover
and upon the title page with the fol-
lowing words: The Property Of the

that day This hypothesis of course,
may not be correct, but it seems
difficult to account for the accident
on any other theory.
AT all events, where there is sud-
denly so radical change in con-
struc1ion as in this case, we sug-
Eest that some very prominent
marker or conspicuous warning sign
be used at the pole where such
change in construction occurs, so
that linemen who may have occasion
to work on those poles may be fur
Their placed upon their guard It
might also be we'll to consider wheth-
er two foot spacing between a high
tension wire and a telephone wire
on the same pole is sufficient. If a
wider spacing were required and
used, it would seem that at least
some of the chances of a fatal acct
dent would be eliminated"
