Daily Kennebec journal., 1914-02-23

When Augusta builders were asked
not long ago to estimate the amount
of work which had been done in the
city in the building line during the
year 1918 the concensus of opinion
seemed to be that the work for the
year. in comparison with that of the
past few years, would figure up rather
light. and that While there had been
a considerable amount done in the way
of erecting and remodelling buildings
of a public and business nature, the
work of the year in the line OF dwell
ings had been light.
When it came to a matter of figures
however it was seen that the esti-
mates were all to low and that as
matter of fact the amount of money
expended IN building in Augusta dur
ing the year 1918 exceeded that eX-
pended in either of the years 1912 or
1911, and by good margin. And while
ii was thought that the number of
houses built or remodelled during the
year had been comparatively small,
it was found on counting noses that
the number built or remodelled during
the year was twice as large as those
of the years 1911 and 1912 put together.
The total fer the year 1911 was 26
and that for the year 1912 was %,
while the total for the year 1918 was
&C.
The total amount of money expend-
ed in Augusta during 1918 in the build
ing line was approximately $3.50. 800, OF
which s420, 730 was expended in the
erection and remodelling of public and
business buildings and s16S,600 in the
erection and remodelling of residences
and tenements. The total expenditure
for the year 1918 as compared with
that OF 1911 shows an increase for the
past year amounting to S231,S30, while
compared with that of 1912 the total
for the past year shows an increase of
over $256,000
Maine Central Passenger Station.
The most extensive piece of work
for the year was the new Maine Cen
tral passenger station, and while the
erection of this building, which is
claimed to be the finest way station in
New England, was begun in 1912 the
work was not completed and the sta
ton opened for business until June l,
1913. The station as it stands today
represents the outlay Of 100000, and
is a lasting testimonial to the generos-
ity of the Maine Central Railroad Co.
This magnificent building was describ-
ed in detail in the Journal at the time
of its opening.
