To-day we present the journal readers
our customary review of the year ust
closed. While noting the many improve
menJs made in our city. none are greater
than in the paper itself. Advancement is
the general order of the day and it is the
purpose OF the journal publishers t" keep
the paper fully abreast Of the most enter
prisin9. Belfast made considerable pro-
gresS during 1891. When the enterprises
which were born lasi wear are developed
into full manhuud ol,r city must be mate
liall, benefited The valuation has steadily
grown. and notwithstanding the improve
ment> in nearly every city department The
taxes have been kept down to 4 fair figure.
and every obligation has been met. Our
taxes trr lr}Jt SO ON 5000, which is as low
rs almost any city in Maine. With the
continual incIc5se in N;jiil1tiun there will

Belfast WAS wonderfully exempt from
fires during 1891. But three BUILDINGS
were totally destroyed and two of these
the old Steel house and the house OF
Capt Fred Wllite-were outside the by
trant limit. TIE most destructive fire of
the year WAS the burning of the Maine
Central freight house. with most OF its con
tents. TN the evening of March 18th The
total loss was about 81, 900. Every thing
was favorable for great contiagration.
The wind blew hard from the north west,
and only for our admirable system of wat
Ell works, much property would have been
destroyed. In this fire large quantities OF
freight were dt stroyed. but the Maine Cen
tral Go. very generously paid every per
son in full. although in many eases it was
not legally responsible.
The other fires were slight and were as
follows: Jan 4th small blaze in the room
! occupied by Matthias Culnan in the old
Robertson house on Washington street.
May LIST the house of Moses Gray on Bav
View street. was quite badly burned ON
the roof. May l5th the interior of Fred l..

One of the hand engines went up. but the
fire was too far advanced to save the house
July 18th, fire was discovered in the cloth
ing factory of Henry O. Dodge, on Com
mon street. As there was little stock in
the building the loss outside the machin-
cry was slight. A sheriff S jury investigat-
ed this fire but came to no conclusion as
to its origin. Aug. 18th, the old Steel

an ASS9SSm eHJ.
New York, May ls.-A large number Of
Richmond Terminal security holders at
tended a meeting in Work, Strong & Co. s
office to-day, and after a long session, in
which number Of suggestions were made,
w. L. Strong, chairman Of the new com
mittee, was authorized to increase Its MEM
bership and draw up plan for reorRaniza-
tion, which will be reported at another
security holders meeting on Monday. The
plan, which has already practically been
agreed on provides an assessment on both
the stocks and bonds OF the Terminal COM
pany and on some OF the securities of the
Danville company. The assessment on the
Richmond Terminal stock will be about 7
per cent The Terminal company aud the
Danvflle company will be merged into one

of the Terminal company in various So
curittes and at the same time operate de
rectly the Denville road.
DREXEL MAY TAKE A HAND.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 1s.--An after
noon paper prints the following: THE res
port that Drexel. Morgan q Co. are at the
head Of a new syndicate which will take
charge Of the affairs of tho Richmond
Terminal company is generally believed to
be correct in financial circles, although at
the offices Of the firm in New York and at
Drexel 81 Co.'s i'll this city It is said that
nothing has been done. The affairs of the
Richmond Terminal company are attract
ing considerable attention in this city, owing
to the fact that a large amount
OF the securities of the company
and of the affiliated companies
are held by home capitalists. The new
stockholders committee, consisting of Gen.
Samuel Thomas, W. L. Strong and William
z. Clyde, has charge of the plans for the
preservation OF the property and IL is prob
able that a meeting of the members of the
committee and members OF the syndicate,
headed by Drexel, Morgan & Co., will be
held. and that after the meeting an outline
for plan Of reorganization of the property
will be given. IL is generally believed that
the plan contemplates an assessment of 10
per cent. on the stock, first mortgage bonds
