Portland Armory Question
That the law does not cover the
Infantry Units located in Portland
and they will have to move to a new
location, was pointed out by Adjutant
General James w. Hanson. 1t APP
peared that when the armory at
Portland was built, that building
was given to the State by the City
OF Portland with the provision that
the city would not be obliged to con-
tribute further money. The State
mad accepted the building from the
city OF Portland. The Attorney Gen
erafs office ruled that the contract
with the city was valid.
The State maintains the Portland
armory, which was built for four or
CARNATIONS. When the building was
erected there were only artillery I'M
its in Portland, but now with the in
fantry units there are total of sew
en- units in that city. So it has be-
come necessary TO find quarters for
these additional units
The proposition Of leasing the old
Kinds laboratory on Pine street in
Portland, was presented by the adj
jutant general. The rent of this will
amount to $3000Ha year.
In executive session, the Governor
and Council passed an c. der making
the Governor and adjptant general
committee to negotiate for suitable
quarters for these units.

the contract for the legislative print
ing Friday, this being awarded to the

by Governor Baxter, who extended
the Christmas greetings in behalf of
the State and welcomed them.
Santa Claus then began his task of
distributing the presents. Skis,
dolls. skates, sleds and in fact pres
ents of every description that glad
den the hearts of the young, were
taken from the tree, and as Santa
had previously found out the wants
of the children, each present proved
to- be the one most desired by the
child to whom it was designated.
The children then formed a line
and marched to the lobby on the
third floor of the building, where
Ice cream cones were given out.
Bags of candy and pop corn were
also given to the children. 1t was
indeed a merry Christmas party for
all.
Each member Of the State House
Family had been invited and many
accepted the invitation. Through
donations by the State House en-
ployes sum of nearly $3.50 was
collected to be used in the presents
for the children and for other ex-
penses incidental to the party. An
appeal to friends outside of the
State House also met with a generous
response. The tree was lighted by
the Central Maine Power Co.
The party was held under the
direction of Miss Elizabeth Leslie,
assistant supervisor for the State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
While the committee in charge of
the party consisted of Charles S.
Brown, Theresa c. Stuart and Maur-
ice II. Leighton.
