The firm of Robert Dobson Il Co. Pitts
field, have decided to build an addition
to their wooden mill the size to be 56x
100 and two stories high. Efforts are
being made to secure the hard pine
timber suitable for the structure but up
to the present such timber as is wanted
has not been located If the firm can
not find it in few weeks the v ork will
not be done this fall. The addition
does not contemplate an increase of

is contested to such an extent that work
is seriously interfered with. At present
the firm employs 240 hands.
