Negotiations are now pending for the
building in the near future Of a new
wood working mill on the lines Of the
Penobscct Central. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that the proposed mill
would be erected either in kenduskeag
or East COrinth and that the deal
would be closed within short time.
For the past few weeks representatives
of outside capital have been in the city
and have been looking over the country
through which the Penobscot Central
runs Negotiations have been going
on for several different sites for
the building of the mill and it is
rrnbable that a site Will be Sc

names of the promoters of the
project are withheld for Il time until
the completion of the deal. 1t is pro-
posed to manufacture spool bars. bar

employ quite number of men. The
promoters of the idea think the project
will be a success and the location a
good one for the business. The people
of both towns are eager to have the
mill located there. The power will
probably be electricity. The men in
terested i'll the proposed mill desire to
get power from the Penobscot Central
power house and it is probable that
arrangements may be made to that eff
feet as the building Of the mill would
mean an increased revenue for the
