The manufacture of sale clothing in this
State has become an important industry
The goods are sent into Maine all cut and
with trimmings furnished. The manufacture
ers here distribute the garments to women
In the country who do the sewing. The
Pittsfeld Advertiser says that this business
is one of the most important in the town,
and furnishes work for an army of women.
Norridgewock is another centre of the indus
try, and 1t is related as a somewhat curious
fact that while trousers are made around
Pittsfcld, the women around Norridgewock
make coats, giving to one region the name of
the pant country" while the other is called
the Goat country" 1t is undoubtedly such
extensive competition from the country that
has forced down the wages of city seam
stresses until their condition has become a
matter of public comment.

The year 1886 has much to its credit, in

tinue the experiment another year.

Improvements Being Made for the
Civil Service Boards Benefit.
Congress at its last session, among other
appropriations, made one Of $4,000 for
fitting up the west wing Of the city hall for
the use of the civil service commission, In
PRODUCING steam heating apparatus into
that part Of the building and making other
necessary improvements and alterations.
The work is to be done under the direction
and supervision OF Architect Clark, aud
promises TO be both thorough and substan-
tial. Auditor Payne, who has occupied the
floor above the basement as his quarters,
will be transferred TO the upper floor Of the
east wing, and take the rooms formerly
used by the grand jury and recorder of
deeds, which are now being prepared for
his use. Workmen are now engaged In
tearing out the old general term court
room and the two adjacent, at one time
used by the register OF Wills, preparatory to
the civil service board and put them In de-
cent shape and appearance. Steam heating
appliances will not only be introduced on
this floor, but In the old circuit court room,
and make most acceptable substitute for
the plan heretofore In use. In the criminal
court room scaffoldlng is being erected and
soon the entire ceiling of that room will be
taken of. 1t isin very dilapidated and In
some places dangerous condition, and the
proposed improvement does not come be-
fore II was needed. II is believed that
when completed the alterations will greatly
add to the appearance OF the building and
make every part Of 1t acceptable for Offices
and court purposes.
