MAINE DISPATCHES.
BATHS PROSPERITY
Breezy Account of the Business OpeT-
atoms in the Shipbuilding City.

Special to the kennebec journal
BATH Jan. IS.
Bath is beginning to assume an appearance
of renewed yigor. Never since the failure
of the great shipbulding firm Of Goss &
Sawyer has there been such business activity
as at present The New England -hipbuild-
ing company has large number of con-
tracts ahead and is building TO its full capaci-
firm, are actively engaged in running the
iue-t vessels of the stocks This firm, it is
understood has the able assistance of F.. +.
Sawyer, Esq. the veteran builder and for
mcr partner of Mr.. Goss. 1t has contracts
ahead and could do the largest business in
the city if it was willing to undertake so
much. business at several of the other
yards is either booming or is getting ready to
boom.
But Bath is now no longer to be dependent
upon the ship-building interests for its pros
perity. It's iron foundries and machine shops
besides the immense marine engine works
connected with the y. f. :. Il. Co, form
an important factor in the city's prosperity.
Yet in addition to all these aud many smaller
concerns, Bath is now rejoicing that
the long idle plant of the patten Car
Works is again to be made To hum with
the sound of machinery. better location
and no more suitable buildings could have
been found already built for the manufact-
urc of oil cloth. Messrs. Addition Strout
when they were forced from their old factory
by unfauorable business conditions, could
not have succeeded IN securing a better
plant for the continuance of their business.
Bath too is fortunate in having them locate
and make use of this property. With the pay
roll of 30 workmen and other necessary cir
culations of cash attending the new industry,
quite an impetus will be given to the business
