The kennebec Journal replies
with becoming spirit to the attack on
Augusta by writer in the Portland
Press.
The Journal states that the Messrs.
Sprague have already accomplished
more than they agreed to do at the
time Of the purchase, within the
time since elapsed. The Journal
says -
That time has not passed, yet the
first year nearly sirtu thousand dol
lars were expended by the purchasers
of the property il improvements and
cnlargements. During the past year
one large new building toar stories
in height ha, been erected and is now
nearly filed with machinery, build
ings have been repaired and remod-
cled, streets have been built through
the lands by the purchasers, one sto-
nv and new roof have been added
to the old factory, and now the foun-
dations are being prepared for new
factory five stories in height and II
basement the completion of which
and its accomplishments will cost more
than $500, 900. The granite is be-
ing hauled for the factory foundation,
for the extension Of the dam ON the
western end, and for new and cx-
pensive raccway for the passage of
the water for both factories. The
bricks for the walls of the factory
are already burned or contracted for,
and the whole arrangements for the
completion arc being made. The
owners of the watcr-power and it, ac-
companying lands have common in
tcrcst with the citizens of Augusta
for Its improvement. The intrinsic
value of the property in the future is
in its development AS rapidly as the
laws of business and common sense
will allow. Already the sale OF the
property to the Rhode Island capital
lists and the evidences they have Civ
en- of their business intentions by sub
stantial facts have increased the prop
erty of the city thousands more tn IN

this effect on real estate is being re-

gacious capitalists and property hold
