There was break in the high cost Of living
last Saturday, when A. A. Howes Co. were
selling the best sweet corn at cents the doz.
en- ears; pears, 10 cents peck.
Green tomatoes. usually over abundant,
seem to be in short supply this season. At one
grocery store we were told that they had not
received enough to keep up with their orders.
Green tomatoes are in demand for pickles and
preserves, and for making "mince pies"
B. F. Colcord and IL others of Searsport filed
complaint against the Searsport Water Co.
some time ago, charging discrimination in rates
in that the company refused to make promised
Attachments when service was discontinued for
given periods without any resultant expense
to the company. Order of Investigation was
given by the Public Utilities commission and
the commission has now given order of notice,
designating Oct, ID. 1915. as the date upon
which hearing on the matter will be held in
the courthouse at Belfast.
TRACTION ENGINE COOP INVESTMENT.
When the attention of a citizen was called to
the noticeable improvement in the condition of
Franklin street he remarked: Eyes, and you
will find like improvement all over the city. A
man living near Dog Island said to me the 9TH
er day that the road out there had not been in
such good condition for ten or more years;
and another resident in the suburbs, tax
payer, said that the traction engine might be
broken up for junk or dumped off the wharf,
for it had paid for itself in one season." 1t is
evident that the traction engine has done here
what it had done in Somerset county; and that
is, more work in less time and at less expense
than could have been done without it. And
the street commissioner, Mr., Weymouth, has
been onto his job early and late with results
that show for themselves.
