RUMOR BASElESS,
Steamer City Of Augusta Not Sold,
and No Immediate Prospect.

In order to put a stop to a persis-
tent rumor which has for short
time past been going the rounds along
the Kennebec river, that the transfer
steamer City of Augusta of the East
ern Steamship Corporation, Whic
runs between Augusta and Gardiner
and connects with the larger steamers
of the corporations Kennebec AMI
Boston line, has been or is about %
be sold the journal is requested to
state on the authority of Supt. NJ. A.
Haraden of Bath, that the reported
sale of the steamer is not correct, and
that further than that, there are no
negotiations in progress looking
| toward a possible sale. Supt. Hara~
den has just returned to Bath from a
| trip to Boston and New York. during
| which time he saw President Calvin
Austin, and other officials of the cor
poration, and at no time during his
stay in the two cities was the subject
! of a possible sale of the steamer
| brought up.
i In an interview. Friday, with Sup.
Il Haraden, regarding the rumor, he
stated that it probably had its foun-
dation in the fact that few weeks
ago a man visited Bath and looked
over the City of Augusta, his objec'
being to secure steamer for service
on the Potomac, or some of the othe'
Southern rivers, but no negotiations
were made for her purchase. Supt
Haraden also stated that While TIL
Eastern Steamship Corporation haC
tod
boat for the route now covered by TIL
City of Augusta that could be oper
ated at less expense, and that if on
could be secured the City of August
would be disposed of, there was moth
ing at present to indicate that such
change would be made.

HEARING ON NEW
SCHOOL BUILDING.

The gathering in the chamber OF
The Common Council last night was
probably the largest which ever ap-
Epeared before a committee in the
city's history. 1t was representative,
and people were present from nearly
all walks of life all of whom earnestly
urged upon the city the necessity for
.he immediate erection of a high
school to meet the growing wants Of
the city's school population. 1t was
said by all the speakers that the
rooms now used for tuition purposes
are overcrowded, that many children
are unable 10 gain admission, while
the old Lancasterian building has long
out-lived it's day of usefulness ami
that it is unsanitary.
A minister of the gospel appeared
in the interests of the movement, sew
eral ladies, and Representatives OF
the pulse Of the city-the Chamber OF
Commerce and Retail Merchants
and there was a sprinkling Of members
of the Trades Union, and most of the
fraternal organizations Of the city.
They were all of one accord in their
statements, and the member. Of the
school and finance committee listened
attcntively to all that was sait'.
As had been anticipated, however;
no one seemed to have any definite
plan as to how the money necessary
for this new building could be raised.
One speaker said he heartily approved
of the plan suggested some tine ago
when committee of the School Board
met the Committees on Schools and
Finance.
The speakers laid the burden OF
handling the financial end Of the pro-
ject upon the City Council. 1t isl
hoped by all interested that some
feasible plan may be found By which
the money can be raised, but in the
meantime nothing impossible Should
be expected of men who are doing the
best they can and who realize the
wants of the city as do those Who ap'
peared before them last night.
1t should be stated that every ap-
plication for a permit to cn.cr the
public schools this year was granted,
although, it is true, there has been
some crowding. About one hundred
and sixty applications in excess OF
those OF last year were MADE, ana
should the school population increase
at the same rate by next September,
additional accommodations VIII be
needed in order to meet demands.
This statement is made authorlia-
lively, as there were allegations made
last night which were calculated TO
make people believe tnat many chill
dren are a; present crowdc'! Out OF
the schools.
