PORTLAND LIGHT INFANTRY.
Public Inspection of Company A.
Last Night.


Therewas a public inspection last night of
the Portland Light Infantry, Company A,
Captain Norton, at the City Hall. Brigadier
General Beal conducted the inspection in
the presence of large and well pleased au-
dience. Among those present were Adjt.
Philbrook, of the 1st Maine regiment, Cap
tain Cusick, U. s. A.; Col. Lynch, Col
Leighton, Major Melcher, Captain Sterling
Dow, members of the Grand Army of the
Republic, and of the Latin School Cadets.
The stacking of arms and other movements
during the dress inspection were made with
precision and greeted with applause. After
the inspection of equipments the drill took
place. and in this the forming of platoons,
the drill in double ranks, and the manual
movements were especially praIseworthy.
Concerning the drill, Gen. Beal said r. Con
sideriug everything it was remarkable. 1t
was the best have seen this year." Cap
tain Cusick said: ut was excellent, especi-
ally the drill in double ranks which is very
difficult. The drill was one of solidity The
Maine militia compare favorably with any
in the country and in some respects think
it is superior"
Col. Leighton said: "The men looked
clean and the ceremony was fine / was
very much pleased with the appearance of
the company"
AT a meeting of the Portland Light Infan-
try, last Thursday, the following non-com-
missioned officers were appointed: Sergeant
+. |. Walden promoted to first sergeant !;
Corporal A. S. knight to sergeant; Privates
Miller and Crockett promoted to corporals.

BACK BAY IMPROVEMENTS.
Hearing Given by the Committee on
Streets to Petitioners.

The committee ON laying out new streets
gave a hearing the Portland & Rochester
Railroad Company's petition to have part of
Cedar and Wilmot streets discontinued. The
committee visited Back Bay at o'clock,
viewing the streets that the petitioners beg
to have discontinued, and then adjourned to
the Mayors room, where the hearing was
closed. The petitioners asked for the dis
continuance of Cedar street below Somerset
street, and the discontinuance of Wilmot
below the head of Clapp's wharf Mr.. Wes-
colt appeared for the railroad, and he said
I'VE intend eventually TO go beyond the
marginal way with all our tracks, or to move
the marginal way out bodily. We eontem-
plate laying street about 200 feet below and
parallel to Somerset street. If you discon-
tinue Wilmot street we shall maintain it as a
street to the wharf to be built"
Mr.. Wescott thought that eventually there
would be a depot built on the land made by
filling in Back Bay.
The committee decided to recommend to
the city government that the petition be
granted subject to the following conditions:
That the gap between the end of Clapp's
wharf and the marginal way be filed in, the
street not to be less than fifty feet wide, and
that wharf suitable for commercial pur-
poses be extended from the marginal way to
the government channel, the work of filling
in to begin at once. and the wharf to be COM
pleted within one year from date.
The Portland & Rochester Railroad Com
pany will fill in the flats that they own as
soon as practicable, so that they can let or
sell them to manufacturing companies, and
run their tracks to accommodate the different
factories. The cost of filling in will not be
far from $4,000, Mr.. Wescott thinks. 1t is
the purpose of the road to encourage small
manufactures, and thus build up this part
of the city.

ervoir is in process of construction. Over a
hundred men, more than a score of horses
and four yokes ofloxen are employed at pres
ent in the work. The crew of men will be
increased as the work will admit, to upwards
of 200, and the reservoir will be completed
as soon as possible. 1t will hold about twice
as much water-over 100000 gallons
the one in the western part of the city. The
largest dimensions of the embankment or
wall will be about 100 feet on the bottom, At
feet high, and from 10 to IL feet wide on top.
