Water Power for Manufacturing.

oACCAkAPPA. Marcn IL, lSb3.
To the Editor Of the Press:
PresumiDg that it may be OF some interest
TO many OF your readers, who are turning their
attention to manufacturing and are looking
for suitable positions or localities. where they
can invest their money most economically and
judiciously, with fair prospect OF satisfactory
returns, | take the liberty of calling their at
tention TO the excellent advantages aud facil-
tiles afforded by the superior water power at
Saccarappa.
The Presumpscot, a never falling river.
whose fountain head Is the Sebago lake, runs
through this village and furnishes water sniff
clent TO run as much machinery as is now en-
ployed IN manufacturing at Lewiston; but /
regret to say that only small portion Of it
ls used for manufacturing purposes. Two
dams cross the river at this place. called the
upper and lower dams. Upon the upper dam.
on the southwest side, is located large saw
mill, plaster mill, corn and -four MILL patent
poweg loom, harness mandatory, machine
shop, and wire factory, and formerly two pa
per mills since destroyed by fire. On the low
er dam, two large.saw mills, grist mill, ma
chine shop, planning mill, britannia ware man
ufactory, and the Portland laundry owned by
the Marr brothers. On the northeast side.
the upper dam is unimproved and has been
for years, except by small batting mill which
is being removed.
rue isui AT euis uatn is ABOUT eleven feet.
the bank Of the river for some 500 or 600 feet
is unencumbered, and the foundation is hard
blue ledge. In my opinion no better locality
for the erection Of buildings for manufacture
ing purposes can be found in the State The
town, at its last annual meeting, voted to re-
lease manufacturing establishments from tax
alton for five years. Real estate is cheap:
board. fuel and provisions, are twenty per
cent cheaper than in larger towns or cities:
and the carriage TO and from Portland from
so cts. to Sl.00 per ton. With labor as cheap
and as plenty In the vicinity as In any other
town in the State, as well as building materi-
ais, stone, brick and lumber, / cannot perceive
why capitalists, who are looking for safe and
remunerative investments, should hesitate to
cover the banks OF this river with suitable
buildings for manufacturing purposes. They
would not only be a source of income to those
who invest, but would afford labor aud income
to large class Of men, women, and children
In this community. who by close application and
economy viii find their advantage in whatever
may be done TO increase business amongst us.
