The August bills of the kennebec Wa

vsed schedule Of rates, which made
some of the local water users glad and
others sad. The rates are less for some
classes of service and more for others.
DR.. Frederick c. Thayer. president of

Athens Railroad Project

One man at least gives proof Of his
real desire to help in getting the
Athens Skowhegan railroad project
real thing by Offering to give $500 to
tn railroad company that will build
the road. Mr.. Loberg declares that
back of the railroad up in Athens and
especially the towns above the coun-
try is practically dead, despite the fact
that the soil is very fertile, scenery
beautiful, the climate also and hunt
ing and fishing excellent. Transporta-
ton charges are about 81 per ton by
team which is more than the farmers
can afford to pay and thus the farms
are not well titled as whole. Mr.. Lo-
berg feels that his farm is worth about
half price without railroad and would
rather give this half and live near one.
