FOR MORE WAGES
Officials Reply They Have
No Funds to Meet
Demand

Caribou, Me-, Jan. 49, Engineers and
fremen on the Bangor 4 Aroostook rail.
road went out on strike to-day. Reports
received here were to the effect that nc
trains We're being operated though the
officials were attempting to move a mail
car from Van Buren,.
Notice of the impending strike was
given yesterday after the directors had
declined to grant the demand for in
creased wages. The officials declared
then that they had enough men to oper-
ate the usual schedule regardless Of the
strike.
The Bangor & Aroostook railroad OPP
crates through northwestern Maine
from the Canadian border to the
Penobscot bay, and il is the principal
outlet for the print paper mills Of that
section. The lines also pass through
the potato raising country and much OF
the freight business consists in hauling
this commodity.
In refusing to grant the increase esked
by the enginemen. the railroad officials
pointed out that such step would en-
tail the additional annual expense of
$34, 900. For the past two years, they
1"us tiir AtStipts hNdHduie Iof uiNt-
dends had been only 100000 and no
funds had been available for this pur-
pose since July.
The railroad was not a party for the
recent arbitration as to the engineers
wages, which took place in New York,
and consequently ii is not bound BY the
decision OF that board
AT the meeting OF the board of direc-
tors yesterday, Percy r. Todd was elect
I'd president OF the company Arthur |
Holland resigned from the position on !
he ground that the office should be |

More cOmmeroe for Peaohtreo.


More large lots on Peachtree are
doomed. Following the fall of the
Ladson site just north of the Geor-
gian Terrace and the conversion of
1t into business lots, many other lit
tie estates have felt the subtle in
huence of encroaching commercial
ism. Some of these have not yet
fallen, but they are fast wavering
and must eventually give way. A
recital of the propositions that have
been made to John w. Grant and Mrs.
Sallie F. Grant to give up the con-
siderable frontage at the southeast
corner of Peachtree and Pine, TO the
Thorntons and the Clarkes to move
away from the block between Third
and Fourth, and for John E. Muir
ply to surrender his extensive front
age at Fourteenth Street would be
interesting indeed
Realty men and others have like
wise had designs on the Peters block,
bounded by PeaChtree on the east,
Fourth Street on the south, Fifth
Street on the north and Cypress
Street on the west II has been in
the estate of the late Richard Peters
for many years, and now there is talk
of cutting it into store lots 25XlOO
feet, or selling it to the State for the
executive mansion.
One of the heirs who favors the
mansion idea declared day that
nothing definite had been decided,
but that the heirs We're anxious to
make a division.
Last summer, it will be recalled,
there was a proposition for Asa G.
Gambler to buy the present Governors
Mansion at the southwest corner of
Peachtree and Cain for 100000, and
for the State to acquire the Peters
block at 100000. This would have
given the State 100000 over, with
which it was proposed to erect ad-
junct offices to the State Capitol on
Washington Street, near the State
House. The State was to remodel
the Peters residence, and thus come
into possession of a suitable mansion
and about twice as much ground as it
now owns.
The Peters lot is 40S feet on Peach
tree and Cypress Streets and 400 feet
on Fourth and Fifth Streets. Prop
erty in the ueighborhood is held at
a figure somewhat less than $1,000 a
front foot.
