CHAPTER TWO.
Tie article recently published in the
Boston Giode, raising the question as to
the ownership of certain tract of land
situated in the vicinity of Bar Harbor
has attracted considerable attention and
given rise 20 no little excitement and
speculation. There can be no doubt
that tile article was highly sensational
and well-calculatcd 10 mislcad. From
the best information that We can obtain
from variety of sources. we think it
safe to saw that the value OF the prop
crty is not enormous" it does not en-
brace ">ome of the most desirable build
ing lots ou the island and it is not
true that ''sone OF the largest and most
valuable cottages are erected on it"
Ga the contrary the tract j. quite remote
from Bar liarhor village and is not Of
great value. ~ to the title itself there
are doubles, two good sides to the
question aud il j. not at all improbable
should the par,jc, Interested resort to
litigation for settlement of ;hcir
grievances. iiat il would prove that
