The Dodlin Granite is having great
run at present, a large quantity is being
shipped 10 Madison Tor the new dam and
TO the Eastern Mig. Co. of Bangor to
work into building and several other
contracts are being filled at the same
time. Last Sunday we had the pleasure
of viewing the new dam at Madison and
it appears TO be a most workmanlike and
substantial structure and when com
pletcd will tie second to none in the
state. We understand that the contract
allowed them TO use the ledge already
on the spot AS filling material but they
found it cheaper TO take small pieces of
granite from Dodlin than to blast the
ledge
