OLD FIRM CHANGES HAND.
Central Maine Power Co. Purchases
Grist Mill of Frank II. Steward.

Frank R. Steward announced Mon
day that the sale of his grist mill
property on the Island has been eff
fected. the purchasers having been
the Central Maine Power Co. This
means a decided change in the bust
ness life of Mr. Steward as he has
been connected with this mill nearly
his whole life. The building was
erected by his father, the late Hiram
S. Steward, who was its first owner,
he later taking his son into partner
ship Still later another son, John
w Steward was taken into the firm,
the two brothers conducting the bust
ness for a time At the time of the
sale, however, Frank r. Steward was
the sole owner.
With the. sale of the mill are also
the water rights which amount to
about 1.19 cubic feet per second, the
average power being about $50 h. p.
For the present Mr.. Steward will
remain in Skowhegan to make the
necessary collections and settle all
affairs connected with his former
business.
