SALARIES AND FEES

Many matters came before the
committee on Salaries and Fees at it's
session on Thursday afternoon. A
number of State office. holders asked
for increases in their salaries, and
there were also presentation of claims
by the judges of the superior courts
and of some of the county officers
and clerks in several counties.
A number of speakers, including
VIM. P. Whitehouse, former chief jus.
tlce OF the Maine Supreme court; J.
II. Winchester, Corinna, member of
Maine Library Commission;@ Fl. A..
Allen, of the State department of
public schools, gave some excellent
testimony as to the work being done
by the department and showed how
it had increased in service and eff
cheney under the direction of the
present State librarian, H. e. Dun
mack
All the measures before the COM
mittee in regard to increases in sala-
rles for county officials for Kennebec
county were postponed for one week
on request of interested parties. Most
of the Penobscot and Washington
county matters were laid on the ia
BILE for executive session as no one
appeared either for or against the
measures.
On the Act to increase the salaries
of the Justices of the Superior Courts
there was very strong argument adj
vanced on behalf of each of the JUS
tees. Charles B. Garter of Lewis
ton was heard for the justice of the
Androscoggin court. Senator Gillin of
Penobscot and Hon. Joseph F. Gould
spoke in favor of an increase for
Justice Smith of the Penobscot supe-
rior court. George c. Wing spoke
generally in favor of the act and H.
d. Eaton of Wateryille in favor of
Justice Bean.
Senator Sprague of Piscataquis
spoke in favor of an Act increasing
the pay for the commissioner of In
land Fisheries and Game from $4,000
to $500.
Col. Albert D. Greenlaw of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission spoke in favor
of an increase in the salary of the ad-
jutant general. ss. ..4
John r. McDonald-of Addison.
member Of the Board of Steamboat In
spectors, appeared in favor of an Act
changing the compensation of steam
boat inspectors from 81 per diem to
$500 yearly. Others speaking in IA
vor Of the act were c.. F. Woodward,
general manager of the Coburn Steam
boat Co. Of Greenyille and Others.
Carl F. Getchell Of Lewiston ap-
peared for two bills in favor of the
increase in pay of the stenographer of
the Androscoggin superior court and
for a bill increasing the pay. of the
sheriff of the same county from $4,000
to $500 annually. -. ,.
A bill increasing the pay Of the
Judge Of probate of Washington coun-
ty from $500 to $1,000 a year seemed
to meet with the appreciation of the
as the claim was endorsed
by all the members of the Washing
ton county bar and the salary on the
face Of it was far below that paid
to judges of probate in all the counties
of the State. At this point the meet
ing adjourned after session Of two
and half hours.
