the greatest interest here, is, will Bath
build new $25, GOO school house this year.

titionedIthe city governmental build oneson
the lot now occupied by the old academy.
The scbool board say that its not case of
whether tho city wants to build one or not,
but says it must be built for at the present
time even the acc commodations are insuific-
lent.
DR.. EN-. Fuller, the alderman from Ward
4, who is also ON the school board. from
that ward, is very enthusiastic over the
erection of a modern school house, and he
set forth the idea OF the.city's raising the
money by temporary loan, small part
of which might be paid each year. thus
making it much easier for the tax payers.
The petition for the new building was re-
ferred to the committee on schools and
school houses, and report will probably
be rendered at tho next meeting of the city
government, which will probably be an in
teresting session.
1t is now expected that the ram Katah-
din will be given spin over the Southport
course next week, and that she will then
be ready for her official trial trip.
