MAYOR LANE ENDORSED.
Ex-Mayor Leighton Pays a Merited Tribute to
His Administration.

A few days ago the Journal called
the attention Of the taxpayers Of Au-
gusta to the splendid showing made
during the past twelve months by
Mayor Lane, under whose wise and
businesslike direction of municipal
affairs. a reduction of $50. 54u.84 was
made last year in our city debt, a
record which We do not think has ever
before been equallcd in the same
length of time. AS we said then il
is an achievement in which all of
our citizens irrespective of party, may
feel just pride and satisfaction.
That the qualification at this fine
showing is by no means confined to
Mr.. Lanes own party will appear
from the following letter from ex-
Mayor Leighton who, one year ago.
was the competitor of our present
mayor at the polls.
This letter. it may be said in pass
ing. is only one which Mayor Lane is
privileged to publish Of number Of
similar communications which he has
received from Democratic leaders in
this city.
Mr.. Leighton writes as follows:
Augusta, March 9th, 1900.
Hon. S. w. Lane. Dear Sir:
| notice with pleasure your renomi-
nation as candidate for mayor Of Au-
gusta. by the Republicans. | offer
my sincere congratulations. have

ton Of the past year, this in con-
nection with Your many years of pub
lie service in municipal matters | have

tics. but in municipal affairs | think

hest ntt,G candidate ! shall support

The Maine Central is now sending
fewer and fewer wild engines than
ever over the road. Usually when it is
necessary to send a detached engine
hack to the round house it is used
either on freight or passenger train
and in addition 70 the regular loco
motive. As the result there IS less
necessity for care in looking out for
the engine by special train orders and
a saving of fuel.
