The Portland daily press., 1893-11-15


Last year the PRESS, in its review of
building operations in Deering for that
season, recorded the building and getting
under way of about fifty-two new build
ings, almost entirely dwelling houses.
That was at that time considered very
f1attering growth; but the record of this
year shows that it has been surpassed.
Mr.. j. C. Colesworthy, who takes great
pride in the growth of his native city,
has kept record of the building this
year. Ground has been broken for fifty
three new buildings, besides extensive
additions to manufacturing plants. The
total value of those dwellings must be
not far from S125, 200. No very expensive
residences have been built; but nearly
all are handsome, comfortable buildings.
The sections of the city that have been
selected for building show the owners
are largely interested in being near
Portland, where their business enterprises
are. The additions to the mercantile and
manufacturing business of the city,
shows an investment. during the year Of
$125, 900 more, at the most conservative
estimate. The principal additions in this
line have been at the Eastern Forge
company, where a new machine shop and
very expensive machinery have been
added; the additions to the stoneware
plant at Deering Point; the new tooth
pick factory at Morrilps Corner; an addi-
70 90 %

Bailey's carriage factory on Forest

a new drug store has been erected at
MorrilPs Corner, a new post office build

filled with litigants and.spectators. The
first and most interesting case was that

an action that took place last September.

had been obtained against Augustus F.
Stubbs, in favor of j. Parker, and an
execution issued, he went with the writ
and seized ten tons of hay Stubs
claims that enough of this hay to feed
two horses, which would be six tons !,
was exempt under from attachment
the statutes. Therefore he brings against
Chief Berry an action for trespass claim
ing $50 damages. VIII. Motley appeared
for Chief Berry, and V. C.Wilson for
Stubs. DR.. Huntington was called by
the complainant as an expert, and testi-
fed that six tons Of hay would be the
suitable amount to winter two horses :.
Chief Berry testified to the Circumstance
