WILL REBUILD.
Corinna Recovering from
Her ConfIagration.
Plans Being Made for Rebuild
ing at Once.
Voters of Town Will Consider the
Question of Fire Apparatus Which
Many Claim Is Insufficient-Specia
Town Meeting May Be Called.

Corinna. Me-, July 21.-(SpeciaD.-
Now that the ruins have stopped smok-
ing and the smoke of the Corinna con-
hagration has all drifted away the peo-
pie of the town are wondering as to
what will be done towards rebuilding
the burned portion of the village.
Things are assuming a much more
quieter aspect but it still remains as
the chief topic of conversation and
each asks the other, what are we to
do next? Things will not remain this
way long, however, as several of the
men whose property was destroyed
have already begun on the plans for
rebuilding at once, or at least during
the coming fall.
There's one thing, however, that the
voters of the town will have to con-
slider and that is the question of fire
were burned out have expressed them
selves very openly that they will never
again invest n cent in Corinna as long
as there is no protection from fire. 1t
is possible that a special town meet
ing will be called soon and steps taken
along this line. yet there is no move in
that dire ctinn at present.
1t is Acknowledged upon all sides
that had there been proper fire pro-
lection the fire would not have reached
the buildings THAI it did and probably
several hundred times the cost of the
apparatus would have been saved.
+. J. Gerry, proprietor of the cream
cries at Dexter, Belfast and Bucksport
and of the one that burned here, says
that he stands ready to commence up
on the erection of new buildings for
new creamery providing the town will
vote to install proper fire fighting APP
paratus. Mr.. Ireland. the owner of the
large brick block that was burned, is
in the same position and will do alb
solutely nothing if the town does not
buy the apparatus at once.
There is another thing to he con-
sidered. There are parties in Maine
who have had serious intentions Of
starting a starch factory in Corinna
during the coming fall months but they
have almost been frightened out of it
by the apparent neglect of getting fire
protection.
1t is plainly evident that the whole
matter rests with the voters. If they
want the buildings rebuilt and bust
ness resumed i'm the some old way with
possibly some additions they will vote
to equip the village with the newest
and most ur-to-date fire fighting APP
naratus. If not they will vote not to
buy anything along this line.
