THE CATTLE SHEDS.
A New Appraisal OF the Property az
Rigby Park.

A new appraisal Of the cattle sheds at
Rlaby park hes Just been made with 9
view to settlement between the Maine
Mile Track association and the New Eng
land Agricultural society.
when these sheds were built, In 1924,
In anticipation OF holding the New Esg-
land fair here, 10 was agreed shat when
ever the society should decide co discon-
tinue holding the fair al Rigby the asso'
citation should psy the sscisty one-haif
the appraised value Of the property owned
In common by them. Last year, when 10
became known that the New England
fair was not to come to Rigby, an APP
praisal Of the cattle sheds was made, one
appraiser being selected by the officers Of
the agricultural society, one BY the hig-
by management and these two APPRAISERS
selecting the third.
They est the figures Of 5000. which
meant that the Highly hackers mutt psy
over $500 In order to retain the build
inRs, and 10 vas announced that this sun
was TO be ufed By the New England sosi.
ETY. In settling Its outstanding accounts
and paying as large percentage as pos
slbls Of premiums due on the 1898 fair.
Hut President Burnham OF Rigby de-
clared that the ap praisal was excessive,
and he should NOS settle on that basis.
The new appraisal places the value OF
the cattle sheds at about $500. The New
England society's share of that amount
will not go very far toward paying over
due premiums. Probably not more than
10 per cent. can be paid on that basis.

IL 10 now considered more than likely
that the rate Of 50c0 tons month Of new
shipping will be maintained II not ex-
oesdsd In the remainder OF the year at
Maine Torts. This gratifying state Of
affaits has besn brought about by the
great rsvi. nj Of business that came last
year when freights went up suddenly. 1t
was predicted last summer that the So
high rates could not long be maint aimed.
