Street Commissioner
The mayor in his personal organ last week
declared that the publication of the city re-
ports is delayed because Street Commissioner
Burgess is "still disobeying the city s(mayor's)
orders to comply with the law and submit an
ltemized report for last year, thus stubbornly,
wifully and evidently malciously, preventing
the printing of the city report" 1t is recalled
however, that in Hanson's first term as mayor
he refused to publish an itemized report from
Street Commissioner Wilson, and that in his
succeeding terms no itemized report by
street commissioner has been published Bills
fo- all expenditures by Street Commissioner
Burgess were approved by the appropriate
committees and by the auditor and presumably
are on file. If the mayor is SO anxious to comply
with the law. why is it that he fails to comply
with Il e law which requires publication of
list of the delinquent tax payers. This list
was included in the city reports for 19O7.8, but
the four pages it occupied were cut out before
the report was delivered to citizens calling for

change took place Monday in The Waldo
Trust Company. whereby Horace Chenery and
William H. Quimby sold their interest in the
bank to a syndicate of Belfast business men,
and by this sale Mr.. Chenery and Mr. Quimby
have severed their official connection entirely
with The Waldo Trust Company.
1t has long been q desire, expressed in many
ways, that The Waldo Trust Company might
county institution. 1t is possible for Trust
Company to do great many things and be of
assistance in great many ways. that other
banks cannot, and the Trust Company has
shown decided disposition in the past few
years to assist in the development of ANYTHING
which would add to the general prosperity of
Belfast and the county. So much so that it
mas come to be looked upon as necessity by
the business men of Belfast.
An opportunity was offered to the business
men about one week ago to take over Mr.
Chenery's and Mr.. Quimby's interests in the
bank, and Immediately large number of them
got busy to see what could be done Last
Saturday the deal was put through and Satur-
day afternoon canvass of the city with a
subscription list resulted in getting pledges
for large block of this stock in lots from five
to ten shares. Tuesday morning meeting of
the directors was held and the following
officers were elected: o. E. Frost, president,
Albert Pierce, vice president; directors. O. E.
Frost, j. H. Howes, Ralph L. Cooper and W.
H. Hall OF Belfast, Me-, A. K. Paul Of Boston.
Mass. Albert Pierce of Frankfort, Me-, R. M.
johnson of New York City, S. M. R. Locke, ].
K. Dunton and W. J. Dorman of Belfast. Me-.
William Farwell of Thorndike, Me-, H. M. Nc
Dougal of Rockland, Me. This change is made
with the consent and approval of the bank ex-
amlner, and the new management starts in
with every assurance of public confidence and
prosperous business.
The many expressions of good will which are
heard on the streets and in the different places
Of business must be of great encouragement
to the new officers and stockholders, as there
seems to be a general disposition to assist and
there is every indication that the Trust Com
pany is now started on q road which will lead
to greater degree Of confidence and prosper
ity than ever before. A great many of the
depositors have interviewed the new officers
and have congratulated them on their election
to new responsibilities, and have assured them
that they are ready to assist in every way
possible. and in this deal there are many new
accounts which will be placed with the Trust
Company to show appreciation of the change
which has taken place.
When interviewed the officers expressed
the desire that the public generally might feel
that they could safely place confidence in
them and their management, and they intend
to do everything possible to assist in making
the bank a strong, conservative, well-managed
institution. and big factor in the up building
of Waldo County.
