George w. Wells has made some improve.
ments on his house ON Church street. The
old sash with small panes have been re.
placed by sash with one large pane below and
two above, and new front door put in.
The Savings Bank building is growing and
when the alterations and improvements are
completed it will be one of the best looking
business blocks in this city. The outer brick
walls are to be given coat of finish which will
make them uniform in color, the granite trim
mings will be re-dressed and metal cornice
will surmount the ornamental brick-work. On
the 7th page-we print statement of the con-
dition of this bank as it appeared on the 18th
day of May, 1910. The Belfast Savings Bank
is widely recognized as one of the solid finan-
cial institutions of Maine and was never in
better condition than it is today.
AT THE oE-MoRTIMER PLANT. Mr. l.. l..
Wellman of Augusta, who has contracted with
the Coe- Mortimer Co. to move the houses of
Dolph Stevens and George o. Frisbee to new
locations on the upper side of the extension of
River avenue, arrived Monday. accompanied
by his foreman, NTH and a crew. Three car
loads of timber and blocking were received and
the work of jacking up was begun in the after
noon. The Coe-Mortimer bought the land on
which these houses have stood and the deal in
cluded new lots and the moving of the houses
thereon. The Coe Mortimer Co. has begun
II foot excavation at the rear of their main
building and will build a retaining wall The
earth taken out is dumped into the hollow be-
side the railway track. Grading has also been
begun about the Office building. River avenue
will be extended to the Rankin property and
in the near future Field street will be EXTEND
ed from High street to River avenue.
A Busy PLACE. Last January the Mathews
Bros contracted for 100000 window frames
and the factory is now turning them out at the
rate of 400 day. At 1000 week it would
take nearly year to complete the contract
Not tenth part of this work would have been
possible but for the enlargement of the factory,
the introduction of new machinery and other
improvements made by Mr.. o. E. Frost, now
the owner and for some years past the capable
manager. Just now the system by which the
sawdust and shavings from the machines is
carried up to large receptacle from which
1t is fed directly under the boiler is under
going extension and improvement. This is not
only labor-saving device but an immense
saving in fuel bills. Formerly hundreds of
tons of coal were required to run the machin-
cry, now not pound is bought. In the sum-
mer this refuse furnishes more fuel than
is needed and in the winter there is a suf-
ficiency. In addition there is large sale of
kindling, and as it is kiln-dried and includes
hard pine and hard wood it is the best kind of
kindling.
