SOUTH PORTLAND WANTS BOARD OF
TRADE.
Posters are out by committee of South
Portland citizens, calling meeting of all in
teIested in the welfare and prosperity of the
town to meet at Union Hail. South Portland,
this Saturday evening, to take steps toward
the formation of a board of trade. 1t is al
so said that the question of the introduction
of SebagO water for the several villages
along the shore front will come up for dis
cussion. Not only Is purer article of water
crying need of at least two of these vii
lages-South Portland and Knightville-but
the necessity for some adequate means of
preventing wholesale destruction by fire in
these places Is too palpabe to be a subject
OF controversy. How to secure this article,
so necessary to the welfare of the people
and security of property along the whole
narbor front OF the town, without undue or
inequitable taxation, is the germ of the
question.
Mr.. Jesse Dyer is rapidly filling his ice
house at Knightville with fine ice cut from
the mill pond. He employs a dozen hands
and six horses, and Friday he cut and housed
$50 tons. M,
