SALE OF THE MARINE RAILWAY. o. E. Frost
of Mathews Bros. has bought of George A.
Gilchrest the marine railway property, excu-
sive of the railway and its gear, which Mr..
Gilchrest expects to sell to other parties, to be
used elsewhere. Inability to secure workmen
here mpelled Mr.. Gilchrest to go out of the
business, and Belfast will be left without
marine railway. Mr.. Frost proposes to erect
on this property, which is directly opposite
his present storehouse, storehouse for the
finished work of the factory, and will connect
the two buildings by bridge 20 feet above
Front street. The new building will have
electric elevator and there will be facilities
for loading and unloading four cars under
cover, thus doing away with all trucking and
making a saving of about $4,000 year. AS
soon as the railway is removed arrangements
will be made to receive lumber and ship the
finished product from this point. Mr.. Frost
has further plans for developing the property.
by constructing wharf to be rooted over and
covered in, where cargoes of lumber may be
received and stored until wanted for shipment.
| The present storehouse has an elevator which
receives lumber from the cart and de-
livers it to any floor, and takes the finished
product from any floor to the driveway in the
building. The present plant is up-to-date in
every respect and with the additional facli-
ties proposed will be second to no plant of the
kind in New England.
