8 The days of the hotels were long ago
numbered at Bar Harbor, but the actual
crisis seems to have come this year.
There was time when the Rodick was
as famous as any MOTEL in America. This
year it will not open it's doors. Three
other well known hotels have been t IN
down. Bar HarbOr is now the resort of
those who can afford to own the man
sions called Cottages, and the hotel is
only for the wayfarer and the stranger
who has no part or lot in the social life
of the great resort.

expended in allowances to Army officers
OF this sum s15,249 was for extra COM
pensation to Major General Brooke. Gen.
william Ludlow. Major Ladd. Treasurer OF
the island. and Col. Tasker H. Bliss. Col

tiers there was expended s1s.949; for trans

Ianeous, $685. During the second half OF
the year the total expenditure amounted
to S29. 100, as compared with $3.50 for the
first half CT the year. The increase of the
last six months was due to the payment OF
over 1900 in rentals for the year.
OF the expenditures for the first six
months of 1882 sl.450 represented salaries
to the Army officers mentioned. S22o was
fer rental of quarters. SOS for Transports
ton. S5e3 for subsistence. and 81 for mis-
cellaneous The transportation items were
principally for the reimbursement OF Army

items in the list are mostly in sums under
$40. The number of officers receiving such
reimbursement is under sixty. including
the civil officials drawing salaries. From
