FINANCIAL,

The Peoples National Bank was re-
organized, and on Nov. 1st became the
Waldo Trust Co. The methods of
doing business were slightly changed,
new features being added. The bank
ing rooms were enlarged by taking in
the Office formerly occupied by James
Pattee & Son. The officers are: Presi-
dent, Charles E. Knowlton; Vice Presi.
dent, Clarence o. Poor; Secretary and
Treasurer, Frank r. Wiggin.
William B. Swan succeeded the late
DR.. John G. Brooks as President of the
Belfast National Bank.
The Belfast Savings Bank declared
its 73d consecutive semiannual dividend,
amounting to $4,000, Dec. LIST.
At the annual meeting of the Belfast
& Moosehead Lake r. R. Co. the
amount of outstanding first mortgage
bonds was reported as $105,50O. The
amount of bonds redeemed during the
year was $4,000.

crease of $475 in real estate; Iof el4, 062-
in personal, total decrease of $14, sol,
and an increase of % in the number of
polls. The decrease is mainly due to re-
adjustment of values rather than to an
actual decrease in the amount of
property owned here. The depreciation
in the gas plant accounts for a large
percentage of the falling off, but the
works were then in process of renova-
ton and have since assumed their
former value. The rate of taxation
was Is IL mills against 10 mills in 1908.
Several needed municipal improve
ments, were made in 1904. The new
steel bridge at the Head of Tide was
finished and was opened to travel in
June. The steam apparatus supplant-
ed the stoves formerly in use in the
Memorial building. The work under
the State road law was continued and a
section of Northport avenue 400 feet
long was put in first class condition. A
continuous section of the avenue near
ly a mile in length has been under
drained and graded, during the past
four years, making a firm, dry highway
of what was formerly one of the worst
pieces of road in this section. Heavy
coatings of gravel were placed on
different sections OF the streets greatly
improving the same, especially in
mud time" The covering of the
lower bridge was given thorough re-
pairs. The work of improvement in
the cemeteries was continued, large
amount of efficient work being done in
Grove Cemetery and at the Head of
the Tide. A much-needed cross walk
was built across High street opposite
the Windsor Hotel. An arc light was
placed at the corner of Union and Pearl
streets. The city government voted an
appropriation of $4,000 to buy piece of
land for public park. The matter is
referred to more fully under another
caption.
Mayor Small gave the usual supper
to the city council and officials of 1903
4, at the Windsor Hotel, the night OF
the March meeting of the city council.

Principal, Hal r. Eaton: Assistants,
Misses Caroline w. Field, Ellen D.
