Bridge Held Up Again
HARPSWELL SELECTMEN MET
SATURDAY TO CONSIDER BIDS.
Say They Have No Statement To Make
At Present.

The Harpswell Selectmen have had
one meeting since the final revised
bids were received for the new bridge
between Bailey and Orrs islands.
This meeting was held last Saturday
at the Harpswell town house and since
that time no one has been able to get
any definite information as to how the
matter stands, except that for some
reason the contracts have not been
awarded. Mr.. Edward NJ. Pierce,
chairman of the board, says that the
Selectmen have no statement to make
at present
1t is matter of knowledge about
Harpswell that the original figures on
| the bridge were some thousands of
dollars too high, exceeding the sum
| authorized, which was $4,000. Since
this became known the bridge engi-
neer, MIR. George B. Merrill of Port
land and at least one of the contract
ors have had a conference in the pres
ence OF one of the leading citizens of
Bailey Island at which it was plainly
stated to the contractor that modifi-
cation OF the terms of the contract as
well as the cost must be made This
resulted IN new set of bids conform
ing with certain changes in the specifi-
| cations, which were submitted to the
Selectmen last Saturday. The bids
received were from Sylvester |. Hill of
Chebeague on stone work. and from
the Bennett Contracting Corporation
or Portland on iron and wood work.
etc. The sum total was $24,94O, or
exactly sixty dollars under the sum
specified by the town at the last an
nual meeting. All legal attempts to
hold UP the bridge have been disposed
of and rumor that the Selectmen are
now waiting for the County Com
misloners to give a permit has been
run down and proven groundless, in
fact has been denied by the chairman
of the Selectmen himself.

Peaks Island House
DELIGHTFUL CONCERTS, ETC.,
GIVE GUESTS MUCH PLEASURE,
Various Societies Enjoying Pleasant
Outings at the Hotel.

AS will be seen by a most casual
glance at the Peaks Island House reg
lister on another page of this paper,
the house bookings and arrivals are
very large. Manager Ralph E. Rowe
says that this year so far has exceeded
any year previous, being even better
than the season of 1910 which has
held the record for the banner year
to date. The guests at this popular
hoStelry find plenty to amuse them
selves no matter in what direction
their tastes lie. Whist parties which
are held every week are becoming a
very popular feature of the social life
while the dances and concerts which
have been so much appreciated have
become almost an indispensable part
OF the houses activity
On Tuesday of this week the Aged
Brotherhood Society held its annual
outing at the house. Dinner was en-
joyed soon after arrival and the rest
OF the day was pleasantly spent in
various ways. The Aged Brotherhood
has been holding its field days here
for years past and no place seems bet
ter suited for the purpose. Among
the attractions booked for later in the
season are the ever-popular Juvenile
Ehtei tdlieIS uHuef cnarSe or Mrs.
Glover who have been here before and
VINO are due to appear sometime the
first of August this year.
The concert a week ago was given
by Ernest j. Hill, assisted by his wife
Mrs. Martha Hawes Hill. Among the
selection enjoyed We're Gounod's
"Salve Dimore", Ma Chi Vien," and
various other songs of more popular
variety. Mr.. Hill has charge of all
the concerts and with this assurance.
patrons feel confident that the con-
certs will keep up the high standard
already set.
Sunday night the Peaks Island
House Trio rendered another pleasing
program. Included in the selections
rendered were Bache's "Standchen, !"
and. compositions of Aver, Tobani,
BohSi, and Moszkowsky

another shark episode this past week

Steve Toothaker, while out pulling his
traps, caught sight of a shark be.

succeeded in getting near enough to
1t to tie a rope around it, and then
towed 1t to the harbor where it was
viewed with much interest. Mr.
Toothaker was concerned in an unsuc.
cessful attempt to capture big shark
some three or four weeks ago, but on
that occasion the shark was too much
for him and got away.
