Robert Dobson & Co. have commence
ed making some more changes at the
Pioneer mill They have moved the
storehouses from the south bank of the
mill race to point near the street line.
The land formerly occupied by the store
houses will be used for site for the
new boiler house, upon which work will
be commenced a once. The new boiler
house will be much larger than the one
at present, besides being more centrally
located wi h the other parte of the mill.
Several new boilers will be installed
as soon as the building is completed,
this being necessary on account of the
recent increase in the capacity of the
mill by the building of the large addi-
ton last year, This will not interfer
with operating the mill while the
changes are being made. New water
wheels will also be put in of larger
capacity than those used at present.
