Mr.. George p. Wescott and the Auburn
Aqueduct Co.
The Lewiston journal saws:

''Mr. George P. Wescott is a pioneer
water man having been for many years
identified with the Portland water works,
and is interested in several water plants
in Maine including those of Brunswick
and Bath. He is a keen, shrewd bust
ness man as well as practical man in
the management of the water works
There is considerable curiosity on the
part of the veteran stockholders in the
Auburn Aqueduct Co. and the public
as to what Mr.. Wescott will favor doing.
His ideas of what if anything shall be
done, under existing circumstances, will
have considerable weight in the future
policy of the company"

HOME FOR AGED WOMEN.
Annual Reports and Election of Off
GERS.

| The annual meeting of the Home for
Aged Women waa held yesterday after
| noon. Miss Harriet S. McCobb report
| ed for the Board of Managers. She re-
ferred to the humble beginnings of the
work in 1856 and it's early struggle with
| poverty; it's removal to its present com
modious house on Emery street and the
relief from it's crippled condition in 1881,
when legacies from the late j. B. Brown
and d. M. Skillings, made possible the
wiping out of the debt. Still, the funds
will not yet yield the necessary income
until afew more memorial offerings have
been made. Appropriate reference is
made to one such legacy received during
the year. The report says:
The Home itself is, as formerly, in
charge of matron and her assistant
with such service in cookery, laundry
and domestic work and nursing as cir
cumstances require. One cannot think
| of the household without being remind
ed of the matron, who is closely identi-
fed with both the outer and inner life of
| its members, and whose presence, bright
with light which comes from no earthly
source, is constantly bringing joy and
rest and comfort to her charges. The
present year, Notwithstanding this allie
Walton has still been often saddened by
disease and DEATH Four of the inmates
have passed away after sicknesses which
in every case except one, were lingering
and distressing. Their places have as
usual been Immediately filled, but even
now a fourth of the number need careful
attention, so that the existence of severe
illness makes itself constantly felt
throughout the house.
| In conclusion the Board presents it's
thanks for the gifts in thought, word
and deed, which it has this year been its
good fortune to receive. May it always
deserve the favors so freely bestowed.
