school buildings to enable the teachers to
perform their duties successfully, and to
conform to sanitary requirements. Obvi-
ously this could not be done without
money; and on the whole we believe that
the expenditures have been judicious.
The best school building in town to day
is the North Primary, but before the adj
dition was built it was wholly inadequate
to the needs. The brick schoolhouses on
the common should be replaced by mod
ern building capable of accommodating
the four schools, and only such improve
ments as were imperatively called for
have been made there. The South Prim-
airy building by an expenditure of $500 or
5000 may by made TO answer all require
ments for some years to come. At pres
ent the sanitary conditions are not what
they should be. The building has no
cellar, and one should be excavated, a
furnace put in to heat the rooms above,
and closets to take the place of the pres
ent outbuilding, which is nuisance to the
neighborhood and an eye-sore to all pass
ers-by.
In future we shall report all that is
done of public interest at the meetings Of
the school committee, for the information
of all concerned.

We begin next week the publication in
condensed form of the town reports of
Waldo county towns so far as we have
been able to obtain them. Some of the
towns went outside the county to have
their reports printed. While the pamphlet
reports are more or less generally dis
tributed they cannot reach as many peo-
pie as when published in the local news
pa oer, where later they can also be readily
found for reference.

In another column We report the organ
ization OF the school committee, with ex-
tract. from the special act of the legsla-
ture defining its authority and powers,
concerning which there has been some
msapprehension. Further than that, the
committee has been more or less severely
criticised, and has been charged with ex
travagance Criticism is to be expected.
1t is a penalty all must incur who accept
public office. In one particular case the
critics are so nearly divided for and
against the action of the committee that
it would be difficult to decide where to
draw the line. As to extravaganza, we
do not think the charge well founded.
The sum total paid for transporting schol-
ars does look large; but if the transporta-
tion was not furnished it would be nee
essary to have additional schools, which
would cost as much or more, while they
would not give the children the education
al advantages they now have in the city
schools.
When the district system was abolished
and the Belfast school committee began
its duties the school buildings generally
were in bad condition, and the schools
themselves were much inferior to the
schools to-day. 1t has been necessary to
repair, renovate and change the existing

Steel VS.. Wooden Ships.

The great advantage in buoyancy which
the steel ship has over one of wood is illus
trated by the fact that while the giant four
master Arthur Sewall draws a scant eight
feet when light, a wooden vessel of that size
would draw at least twelve. This difference,
nearly one-sixth of the loaded draught, in
dictates carrying power of dead weight one
sixth larger than that of the wooden ship Of
corresponding size, fact of vast signifi-

The new city government has entered
promptly and harmoniusly upon its du-
ties. At acaucus held Saturday the nomina-
tons Tor city officers We're agreed upon and
they were unanimously elected Monday.
Mayor Poor address is brief and bust
ness like He recommends that in max =
ing contracts Of any magnitude bids with
specifications should be publicly advertis-
ed suggests the appointment Of an audi
ion: the use OF a rock crusher; annual
appropriations for the completion of the
sewer system; and an examination of the
lower bridge by experts with a view to
making it a permanent structure. These
suggestions carry their own recommends
lions. All the cities and many of the
towns have an auditor and such an official
could render valuable service. The con
dition of our streets during the greater
part of last summer emphasizes the need
of a rock crusher, while it is evident that
the road machines have outgrown their
usetulDess and the money it costs to run
them is practically thrown away. No
argument is needed in support OF the
coutinuatI'n Of work on the sewer sys-
tenn; and the condition of the lower
bridge is such as to call for prompt action
The Iip-rap plan proposed seems the most
practical and the money expended will 60
to local labor, as it should. 1t is custom
AIRY IN this connection to say something of
the new city officers, but as they are most
ly their own successors it hardly seems
necessary. The election of w. L. Walker
as street c )mmissi oner meets with general
approval

The Narraguagus Times of last week
pleaded the cause Of the local newspaper
with much eaInestness. While it speaks for
itself, every publisher of a country news
paper can testify TO like experience Out
slde competition Increases each year, and
each year is harder to meet Unless CON
dtluus change the number Of country
new papers must be greatly lessened in
the neA future Only the old establish
ed iou nai4 wilh Loyal constituency be-
hind them can survive. This we regard
as d misfortune a town without local
newspaper is in fail way to become a
dead town. There is nothing that can
take the place OF the local newspaper as
an active agent in promoting the welfare
Of mmunity-certainly not the cheap
oiry weekly, whose interests are elsew here
and which must necessarily be unfamiliar
with local opinion ard local needs. The
n arraguagus Times refers to the money
it pays out in Cherryfield for labor. The
Journals payroll is of course much
larger and the money goes into local cir
culation each week. The churches, char
liable organizations, and the firemen, are
given their advertising free, and every
local enterprise is aided and encouraged
without money and without price What
foreign publications can or would do this.
Is not such service worth something to a
community? If you can answer this ques-
ton in the affirmative, if you are not al
ready subscriber, subscribe for your
local paper, wherever you may be,

The name of the one not living is Mrs

The other claims are looking well. aud several thousand tons are blocked out in the Mammoth whicd iti believed will run better than the ore in the Maine.
 Citizen: Deeds and escrows have been deposited n one ( f tne big vaults on Congress street. This means, as has been commonly understood on the street, that mining properties in the Qniiotoas have or will change hands, and that .S40,000 are the round tiplires in the transaction, Sl0,0oQ be ing paid down.

The company is preparing tol commence actire operations under the management Of Geo. Holladay as general superintendent.
 Globe Belt: A late number of the Boston Herald states that at a spStial meeting of the Juanita Copper Min ing Co.,, held in Jersey City, it was voted to double the capital stock, making it 100000 shares. This will give means to provide for the Arizona properties recently secured. It was voted to sell or otherwise dispose of the so,called Plutus property. The Arizona properties referred to are on Gun creek in Gila county, mention of which was made in last weeks Belt.
 Globe Relt: Dudley Brothers, who have been working the San Juan mines near Stafford for the past two years, have put in forty ton shelter which is about ready for operation. Supt E. Jones of the c.
