Fire Station
Committee Asks
For More Time.

The regular August meeting of the
city government held, Monday even
ing, was not a lively affair and it'tool<
less than half an hour to transact the
business which came up. However.
an adjournment was taken for week.
at which time it is expected that the
site for the new fire station will be
discussed and as there are several
widely different views held by mem
bers of the committee the outlook is
for lively arguments. AT the meeting
next week the question of polling
place for Ward will also be consid-
cred. When the buildings on Water
street were torn down to make room
for the new Maine Central Railroad
station the voting place for Ward
was demolished and now the city
council is having difficulty in locating
a new place. 1t is possible that tenn
porary voting booth may have to be
erected for the fall elections.
No one appeared in opposition to the
petition of the Central Maine Power
Co, for the right to erect poles and
wires on Scott, north side, from State
to Grove street, and the petition was
granted. A hearing was set for Sept
16 on the petition of the same COM
pany to erect poles on the South Bel
fast road from School street out to-
wards the Togus line.
Roll of Accounts No. S. amounting to
$9936.13, was reported by the finance
committee and passed.

We told you that it was first sold here in 1898.
The lights were poor then, bat now the Tungsten
will rival the sun itself and the costwell the cost
has been decreased.
Think of lighting your living room for whole
evening at the cost of about one cent. Think of
going into the cellar tending to the heater--and
what not--p practically every day in the month for
cent--the cost of box of safety matches. Think
of lighting your home every day i'll the month for

Long Island at least as early as 1898.
Its origin is unknown. but there is
some evidence that 1t WAS imported
from the orient with the japanese

Handbags made partly or entirely
