Fine Record at Bellows Falls.

| A gratifying and fully satisfactory rec
ord has been made during the year in Bel
lows Falls and noteworthy additions and
improvements has been the rule for both
public and private property. While the
number of new buildings j, somewhat less
than that for 1897, which was an exception
al year, the total amount expended will
reach nearly, if not qnite, 5000, O00 which
were last years figures. Among the more
important and expensive undertakings ms+
be menii oned the new paper mill Of John
T. Moore & Son, the residence OF Clarkr
Chase and George E Page, the new stretce
of highway and bridge at Saxtons Riveh
and other street improvements, worthy OF
D ecal emark being the widening, straight
ening and grading OF Rockingham street
Thousands of dollars have been expend-
ed by the paper manufacture rs in additions,
repairs and betterments to their plants, BE-
sides the amount invested by John L
| Moore & Son in their new mill. This
plant, which is now ore of the best equipped
and most up-to-date mills in that section,is
thoroughly new, the building having been
entirely rebuilt upon the sit9 of the old
m IL which was removed for the purpose,
and is iurl i,hed with an entire equipment
OF high-grade machinery, including a Four
drinler machine. Upward OF $4,000 was
expended there. Wymsn Flint & Sons
have replaced their old boilers with new
ones and made other expensive improve,
mems, and the Moore & Thompson paper
company have aided 175-horse-power
A1lfions
which will materially increase the product
OF this mill are in cont. mplaticn and will
probably be carried out duiiug the coming
year. The local mills OF the international
paper company, while making no changes
OF special significance, have expended
large sum In MINOR improvements, one OF
which is the placing OF filter through
wi ich all the water used in the manufac-
ture of paper asses, and the clearer and
purer supply thereby Obtained helps to a
marked degree in raising the quality OF the
product.

erected during the year is the new schoo
building at Gageville. The constructor
