The brick work and exterior finish of
the Skowhegan fire department building
are completed and the roof ia covered
with tarred paper ready for the gravel.
Work can now be carried forward prset-
ically independent OF the weather. By
the terms of the contract McQdillsn q
Pooler, the builders, have flour months
from the completion of the foundation
in which TO execute their part OF the
work. This date, we understand
is not clearly determined but seems
to be understood, by both the building
committee aHd the contractors, to have
been between the 5.h and the Is h Of
September. This being the case Nc
Q1illan & Pooler have until January 5.h
or 18th to make the building ready for
occupancy they are confident OF their
ability to perform the work within that
time. The suggestion has been made
that, when the building ls finished and
the fire apparatus installed therein, a
"house warming" should be held to
which all citizens of the Cooperation
shonld be invited.
