CAPE COTTAGE.
A Citizen Says It Was Not Built by John
Neal.

1.-The first Cape Cottage correspond
ent of the Advertiser, says, twas built up
on the site of the old Strout farmhouse. 1t
was large square wooden building with a
high cupola, and painted white with green
blinds. 1t was erected in 1888 by stock
company with capital of S6O00 in shares
OF you each, the company, consisting OF
Messrs. knights, burlington, Anthony
Strout, Charles Strout and others; Charles
Strout was for many years carpenter and
builder in Portland. This company ran the
cottage the first season, when trouble con-
corning some of the property arose, which
was settled by Anthony Strout taking
mortgage on some of the shares, who IL.
turn sold them to John Neal who finally
bought up the other shares and making
Joshua Fernald manager, ran the cottage
for about six years. when 1T was burned
down. Shortly after, as Mr.. Willard and
others recollect, wooden Gothic cottage,
painted white with green blinds, occupied
the site till few years later 1T shared the
same fate as the first. Which as learn
from S. 3. Beckett's historical memoranda,
found in an old city directory, occurred
September Is, 1919. Something over forty
years ago, Mr.. Neal erected the Gothic
stone cottage with two gables facing to-
wards the sea, with dark ed painted trim
mings, which years later was altered over
by placing the French roof in place of the
gables, so as to gain the third story it had
at the time of its recent destruction. 1t
would appear that the cottage in which
George Combe and his wife found hospitali-
tr was the white Gothic structure which
replaced the first, familiar to the present
generation Of Portlanders.

CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

Our taxpayers are to be congratulated
on the good work which the council
committee has done in the proposed
amendments to the city charter.
The final meeting OF this committee was
held Yesterday and all amendments are
agreed upon and ready for report to the
full council board, except as to the time
at which the new charter should 60
into action. leaving that to the determi-
ton of the foil board.
These amendments abolish unneces-
sary officss, consolidate other Offices.
give large appointive powers to the
mayor, nupject to confirmation by the
council.
Probably no city on the coass has O
charter framed with as much judgment,
thought and care nor as effective ae our
charter, with tho amendments now pre-
pared. will be.
A post'a enthusiasm may sav "let me
make the eongs OF q people and l care
not who makes the laws" but hard,
practical experience in cities like Eliza
beth, New Jersey, and other places,
shows that un wise municipal laws may
amount to practical confscstion OF the
peoples property. Our city ia prosper
Gus. our prospects the brightest; still
any added good is desirable. and the
sooner a better charter can be put lii
force the better for all except the few
office holders who will be elected at our
next election. However, we doubt not
that their patriotism will gladly yield
their small personal interests to the
great public welfare, and our people
gladly and wisely sustain the couucll's y
action if they determine in favor Of 3
new charter going into full effect at the
first election in April next
