The following appeared in the Lewis.
ton Journal Saturday evening;
The journal learns this afternoon on
good authority that the Bath Iron Works
people have practically decided to pur-
chase the Lowell Arms company's plant
In south Portland as a branch OF their
extensive bath plant. Negotiations have
been in progress for tome time. Inc
concluding arrangements of the deal have
not been finally settled, that Is, the pa
pers have not been made out, but II 10 as.
serted that both parties have agreed to
the trade and that the transfer of the
property Will be made at onoe.
Ths further announcement is made
that the Bath Iron Works folks will
employ at the South Portland plant from
500 TO 1000.
But there is a secondary purpose In
acquiring the property that is even more
interesting. Portland Is hereafter TO
have ali the year round transatlantic
steamers IN addition to the great winter
traffic. There is demand for repair
work ON grand scale. The Bath Iron
Works folks VIII therefore establish them
selves at South Portland and equip their
plant In such shape that they can handle
this great business.
