Lewiston Journal: A few days ago
we noted that Il tenement house to
hold 50 families was being built of in
flammable material in n Maine city.
and we predicted that sooner or later
tall and infiamable tenements will
supply tragedy There came near
being a tragedy in a much smaller
tenement house in Lewiston. Thurs
day morning. This house contained
but six families. But what may hap
pen if an inflammable building con-
tanning perhaps 275 persons should be
snapped by the fire fiend, some grim
midnight?
With one more snowstorm yet to
come if the weather bureau makes
good it's schedule, it has already cost
the Portland railroad $4,000 to clear
it's tracks and the streets of snow.
This is probably the biggest snow
bill the road has ever had for single
month and is considerably more than
the whole bill for last year. There is
not much doubt but the expense
which will have to go to this year to
take care of the snow will be more
than the total expense of last year
and the year before put together.
Portland Express: According to in
formation learned Wednesday it is
doubtful if the trans Atlantic steam
ship service will be continued through
the summer months as officials of the
Dominion line say that the outlook
for summer service from Liverpool
is not very bright and. as the Allan
line and the Thomson line have never
run summer service to Portland 1t
looks as though Portland would be
| mighty quiet in regard to the steam
ship business, unless something I'M
| foreseen happens or the outward
| freights show a decided increase.
The new vaults for the Bath Ma
tional Bank and the Bath Savings IN
stitution weigh 80 tons and will make

One of the sights in Saco Wednes-
day morning was Benjamin f. Hamil-
ton shovelling the snow from the path
from his home to Main street He
was apparently making easy work of
it. despite the fact that he celebrated
his DIST birthday last Sunday.
