The recent increase in insurance
rates in the city of Gardiner may, after
all is said and done (more especially
done). be productive of good in spite
of the fact that at present it has placed
quite an additional expense on the
larger property owners. The city coun-
Gil is to make an investigation. 1t is
self evident that Gardiner is not in the
Glass A of Maine cities. 1t is equally
evident that the purchase of at least
one chemical engine and most of all the
adoption of modern up-to-da fire
alarm service would at least raise US
out of our present class. The latter has
for many years been the claim of Ma
jor ]. w. Berry. ex-Chief S. D. Soule,
E. E. Ramsdell and others, to be Car
diners greatest need. We predict the
time to be not, far distant when Gar
diner will be on a par with her sister
cities in this respect.

the Bridge street bridge or the lobby of
the Strand Theatre. and it is fact
that when Manager Kellar had the new
building constructed, the one point on
which he was was insistant was, that
the vision of the occupant of any seat
