Every well regulated city at some time
In its history has a scare about title to
real estate. Augusta, the Maine capital,
has escaped this until very recently.
Now as the story goes the heirs of James
Howard purpose through attorneys to as
sert their claim to ownership of large
portion of the business part of the city
and the land upon which are many of the
best residences, also churches, U. s. Post
Office, State House etc. These lands
have been in undlsputed possession Of
occupants for 1870 years. ExMayor Pat
terson, 50 years old, himself one of the
descendants of James Howard, is quoted
as saying he knows nothing Of the claim
OF the heirs. 1t is probably hoax.
