and SkoWhegan. The firm would be re-
liable financially, as all the stock would
be taken by members of the firm, and
they would not ask that any be bought
by the people of the community.
E. G. Crosby asked regarding the
length of the siding and whether the
brook would supply sufficient water 1t
was thought that the water supply
would be sufficient.
Mr. Brown: "How much are we asked
to remit?'
President Eaton replied that the
amount would be the $1,000 for the site
and the difference between $24 horse
power and 500 horsepower.
Mayor l.. G. Bunker wanted TO know
whether the company would come if the
lot were given them, or whether it was
a plan to secure a statement of what
Wateryille would do in order to lay it
before other places.
1t was replied that the company laid
bona-fide proposition before the
Board of Trade. Mr.. Purinton said that
the annual meeting of the company
would be held May s.
Dr. j. Frederick Hill moved that a
committee OF three be appointed to
confer with the Maine Central Railroad
and the Waterville & Fairfield Railway
& Light Co. On President Eaton's sug-
gestion the motion was broadened to
include the whole subject under dis
cussiCn. The motion prevailed and the
Chair appointed DR.. j. Frederick Hill,
Hon. Horace Purinton and DIR. Carroll
w. Abbott as members of the commit
tee.
Dr. Edgar l.. Jones said that he
thought that a great deal of misappre-
hension existed regarding Seavey
street. The legal conditions had never
been complied with in laying out Seav-
ey street, but the railroad company,
not desiring to antagonize the munich
pality, had not insisted upon its rights
in the matter. A question by c. E.
Mathews brought out the statement
that Seavey street had never been APP
proved by the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners.
G.. Fred Terry said that he did not
known of anyone who would lose any
money by the discontinuance Of Seav-
ed street. He was of the opinion that
the carrying out of the wishes of the
railroad in the matter would put q
stop to the necessity of so much switch
ing on College avenue.
Hon. S. S. Brown said that on one
occasion when IL tally was kept the
College avenue crossing had been
blocked by train or a part of train
Y times in 60 minutes. He thought that
the matter should be fairly presented,
and if the discontinuance of Seavey
street would in reality have the effect of
stopping the shifting, he would like to
see it done. Accordingly he moved that
a committee be appointed to investigate
the matter.
The chair appointed Hon. S. S.
Brown, DR.. Edgar L. Jones and George
Fred Terry on the committee. DR.. Jones
asked that the name of DR.. Thayer be
substituted for his own, and this was
done.
THE discontinuance of street
which nobody uses for the relief of a
street which everybody uses would
certainly be a fair trade" said Presi-
dent Eaton.
Frank Redington believed that there

FOR PIE PLATE PLANT.
Board of Trade Holds Special Meeting
to Consider a Location.

a well attended special meeting
Wednesday night, the principal busi-
ness being the proposition Of the keyes
Fibre Co. of Shawmut for a location.
The board looked upon the location OF
the pulp pie plate concern with favor
and a committee was appointed to con-
fer with the Maine Central Railroad
and the Waterville & Fairfield Rail-
way & Light Co., the two companies
which had submitted estimates to the
Keyes Co., the one for Sidetrack from
the main line to the company's land on
the proposed location of the keyes Co.
near the brickyard, and the other for
furnishing electric power to the COM
pany. 1t was felt that the board would
be able to affect some sort of ADJUST
ment of the matter, and the atmos-
phere of the meeting was hopeful.
Mr.. keyes, it was understood at the
meeting Wednesday evening, looks
with favor upon Lockport, N. Y, as
the location of the industry, but
who are heavy stockholders in the con-
Germ, desire that it shall be situated
somewhere in this vicinity, either Wat
erville, Pittsfield or Skowhegan.
The discussion of the Keyes Fibre
Co. location gave rise to another ques-
ton, which was felt to have had i'm
portant results, in the appointment of
a committee to confer with the Maine
Central relative to the discontinuancc
of Seavey street The sentiment of
the meeting, without dissenting voice,
was that the street ought to be dis
continued to give the railroad better
chance in the upper yard and thereby
relieve the congestion at the upper
College avenue crossing.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at 7.3O P. NJ. by President
Eaton. The records of the last meet
ing were read and approved.
President Eaton laid before the
meeting the business of the evening,
the location of the keyes Fibre Co,
which now operates pulp pie plate
factory in Shawmut, and desires to Sc
cure a more commodious location. The
company preferred Waterville as a 10
cation, but had received from other
localities very reasonable offers, par
ticularly from Lockport, n. Y. The
company asked three things: A lot;
power at $40 a horsepower per year;
a sidetrack free of expense. The presi-
dent stated that at a conference of the
officials of the company and members
of the board, Horace Purinton had
said that he would sell his lot, the pro-
posed location for $1,000, and that he
would cut the price in half to the
keyes Fibre Co.
The Waterville & Fairfield Railway
& Light Co had offered power to the
company for sg4 a HORSEPOWER per
year. The Maihe Central Railroad had
submitted an estimate on the proposed
sidetrack for $1,000. The board was
asked to adjust these three difficulties.
Mr. Purinton said that in his opinion
the Maine Central Railroad would be
willing to construct the sidetrack if
Seavey street were discontinued by the
Waterville city government. He said
that the Keyes Fibre Co. intended to
carry on operations at four times the
present capacity.
Mr.. Purinton told of the cordial re-
ception which the officers of the Keyes
Fibre Co. had received at Pittsfield
