The cost of the Supreme Judicial
court sessions was $7,691.32. The coun-
tys total indebtedness is $53, 800. Last
year it was $4,000.
The year past has been an especially
busy and important one, and in the
transaction of their somewhat arduous
duties the commissioners have proved
themselves equal to the occasion. The
makeup of the board is as follows:
Captain Charles A. Sylvester of Rock
land, chairman; Deacon Mark Ames of
South Thomaston and Captain H. j.
Sleeper of Union. Captain Sylvester is
now entering upon his sixth year as COM
missioner. He is the only Democrat on
the board. Messrs. Ames ! and Sleeper
are on their fourth and second years re-
spectively.
AS clerk of the board, r. R. ,Ulmer,
Esq, clerk of courts, has proved himself
most efficient, and always accommodating.
The registry of deeds, under the charge
of Frank B. Miller, of Gushing, is one of
the busiest corners in the court house.
From his neatly kept records for the year
past, it will be seen that these were 1904
transfers of real estate, or an average of
over three a day. Fifteen corporations
were formed with total capital stock of
$6OO,5OO. OF these corporations, some,
at least, will not prove wildcat
schemes. The Rockport Opera House
Company has in course of erection, now
nearly completed, a fine opera house.
The Rockland Building Association has
erected here a large pants factory, which
in a few days will be ready for a small
army of workmen The Lake City Hotel
Company has purchased land and taken
the necessary steps toward the erection
of a fine summer hotel at Lake City,
Camden.
