STATE HOUSE

ion of the comptroller, but as yet no
demand has been made upon the
Maine officers.
Il think, and many other officers of
experience agree with my stand, the
ruling is absolutely wrong, as the reg
ulations distinctly state that officers
of the National Guard and Reserve
having dependents, shall receive,
when on duty where no quarters are
available for such dependents. the
same pay and allowances as officers
of the regular army and equal rank.
members of the Maine Coast Ar
tillery, 103rd Infantry and 152nd Field
Artillery and attached troops were on
duty for their usual period of instruc-
ton either at Fort Williams or at
Camp Devens during the past sum-
mer. No public quarters were avil-
able at either the fort or camp for
the dependents of thes officers and the
War Department ruled that the Of
ficers were entitled to the full pay
and allowance Of officers of the regu-
lar establishment.
Major Charles E. Davis, A. G. d..
disbursing officer for the State OF
Maine, questioned the ACCESSIBILITY of
paying the Maine officers the full al
lowance and before reaching a decis-
ion in the matter he wired Washing
ton. He was directly ordered to pay
the officers the full amount under the
regulations promulgated by the War
Department. This he did and now il
is apparent that the Government
wants the money back, at least from
the Massachusetts officers.
| Even prior to this recent ruling
received word from some of our Ma
tional Guard officers under training
in an artillery school that question
. had arisen as to the payment of some
of the student officers the full allow
ance for Communication of heat, light
| and quarters for dependents. Realiz-
ing that there was opportunity fol-
controversy over the regulation
called it to the attention of the board
of officers then revising the legula-
ton in Washington with the recon-
| mendation that the wording be alter
ed so there could be no possibility O,
misconstruction and the National
Guard officers would receive the pay
and allowance to which they were en-
(! titled.
ITO deprive National Guard off
GERS OF this is manifestly unfair. They
are in the service of the Nation as
well as the State and when they are
on duty there IS no just reason why
they should not receive the pay and
allowances their rank entities them
to and which, TO me. is clearly desig-
mated in regulations"

and a number of visits to several dis
tant points in Maine as we'll as eN-
tended research among historical and
legal volumes. Much Of the informa-
, ton, with card index and notes. was
prepared by Judge Melvin n. Sim
mons Of Hallowell. deputy corrector of
internal revenue for the District of
Maine.
Judge Simmons first secured the
coast charts published by. the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey and
this furnished the basis FOR the invcs-
tigation. He made a list of the 1900 is
lands and lodges that appear on these
maps and divided each chart into
squares using lines of longitude and
latitude of four minutes each.
He then had the longitude and lati-
tudc of each square and numbered
each square on the charts consecutive
ly, later numbering each island in each
square consecutively. He then prepared
q card index in numerical order, fol-
lowed by cards in numerical order
containing the name and number of is
lands as they appear on the charts.
This method definitely located par
ticular island and avoided the confu-
sion caused by the fact that many of
the islands have the same name. With
an index or catalogue OF all these is
lands, it then became process of
eliminating those already conveyed.
There are on file in the Office of tho
State land agent copies OF deeds given
by Massachusetts and Maine and a
separate index Of island conveyanccs.
Massachusetts commenced deciding
! these islands as early as 1880, designat-
ing them by letter. Manv of them have
often since changed names. these cir
fcumstances making the index of little
use in determining whether an island
as known and designated on the maps
| today was ever conveyed by Massachu.
sets or Maine.
1t appears that the first island CON
veyed by Maine was Sept. 6. 1924. Tn
til 1876 the State disposed of only II
islands and in that year the State
| started TO dispose of all of her is
lands. BY a council order of Nov. II,
1876, there were &c islands sold for
| few dollars each, the price ranging
from % Gems to s445. Some "a of the
islands brought So and under and 10
| more between s. and SO, the whole
yielding s1109.15.
| Under the acts Of the Legislatures
of 1876 and 1877 there were II islands
along the coast of Maine that were
sold. few being withheld on account
of the uncertainty of title. The is
lands in front of Washington county
were sold in blocks to seven purchas-
ers ard the State received S@51. The
| conveyances in 1877 ended the attempt
| by Maine to dispose of all of it's is
lands. the State at that time consider
! ing the task completed.

May Be Deprived of $1,000 Pay
Received in the Tour of
Duty Last Summer
Formal Notification Has Not Yet
Veen Received - More Than
$1,000 Demanded by Government
from Pay of Massachusetts
Guardsmcn

BY the ruling of the comptroller OF
the Treasury Department that in
struction duty for National Guards
men does not constitute field duty"
MS specified in regulations. it looks
as though officers of the Maine Ma
tional Guard, includes Field Artil-
lery, Infantry and Coast Artillery
Corps and attached troops may lose
more than $1,000 of the pay and al
lowances received by them for their
annual tour Of duty late last summer.
Formal notification of this has not
been received as vet by Adjutant
General James A. Hanson, but as the
Maine troops We're paid under the
same regulations that applied to the
Massachusetts National Guardsmen.
from whose pay mere than 1900 has
been demanded by the Federal Gov
eminent. there is little doubt that a
repayment will be demanded from
the Maine officers. About 120 officers
are affected.
The War Department ruling while
the troops were in the field last
Summer was that that duty did
constitute field duty and the result
was that the officers were paid a
cash computation of heat, light and
quarters. amount to $40 for a second
lieutenant, $50 for first lieutenant
$40 for captain, $50 for a major and
$50 for officers of higher grade.
Months after these amounts were
paid comes the comptroller's ruling
that the officers were not entitled tc
such computation with the demand
in the case Of Massachusetts. that the
overpayment be repaid to the Gov
eminent.
I'VE have received no formal noti-
fication from Washington that the
Maine National Guard officers are ex-
pected to repay their allowance fol
heat. light and quarters, but there is
no reason why we should not be &C
notified, as our officers were paid un-
der the same regulations and with the
same allowances as those from Mas
sachusetts from whom, I understand
repayment has been demanded" said
