BELFAST AND CAMDEN CAR WITHDRAWN.
The Maine transportation Co. rather unex-
pectedly discontinued their service between
Camden and Belfast last week, and the car
has been withdrawn from this route as is the
case with all their lines in this State. On the |
trip of the big car to Union with the members
cf the Belfast band it was discovered that the |
fire. box was cracked and new one was or
dered. Having none in stock the car was tied
up week while a box was being made |
The repairs had just been completed and the
car was to have started the following morning,
when Driver Tewkesbury was called to Port
land on account of the serious condition of his
mother, who is in the Maine General hospital.
The management found it impossible to secure
the services of steam car driver at this time
of the year for so short time, figuring that
the month of October would about complete
the service, and accordingly the car was with
drawn.

each route. Mr.. Wilson has written to three
bridge companies for estimates of the cost of
a three span bridge. and an early response is
Mr.. Burd has offered to rive the
right of way across his land, but it is expected
that land damages will have to be paid for
crossing the land of ]. W. Wilson on the
Northport side. While no decision will be
made until estimates of the cost of the three
span bridge are received the Belfast and
Northport officials are inclined to favor the
