Mr.. T. J. Emery. Of this city, started
last evening for Caribou, Aroostook Coun-

and Mr.. Emery 10 sent for to see what can
be done to obviAte this difficulty. There
10 no man in Maine more familiar with all
that relates to the construction Of dams,
and when he gets upon the spot he will
know what is best to be done, and how to
do it.
There is nothing in the business porto n
Of this city that more quickly catches the
eye Of the visitor who has not been here for
the past few years, or causes more enthusi-
astic remark on his part, than the sight of
the beautiful little park in front Of City
Hall. into which that unsightly spot, for
merly known a. 'Ihe Common" has been
transformed. 1t was formerly used as a
convenient place to hitch and bait horses,
pile rubbish, in fact for almost any purpose
that convenience might suggest. 1t is now
beautifully graded. with attractive walks, q
fountain of artistic design-in fact 1t is q
thing of beauty creditable to the beautiful
city at whose expense it was made. With
the completion of the new Masonic Build
ing on the one side. and the erection of a
new City Building on the other, which is
sure to come abou. in q few years at the
farthest the locality will have important
added attractions.
