Skowhegan Takes High Rank

A circular letter issued by the
New England Insurance Exchange
and to all Maine agencies, eoVeys
the information that Skowhegan has
been ranked as one of the thirteen
Maine towns and cities entered IN
grade c as to fire protection. Jhese
municipalities are Auburn, Bar
Harbor Biddeford, Brunswick, Lew
iston. Rockland. Rumford Saeo,
Sanford. Skowhegan, Waterville and
Westbrook. Dover and Foxeroft S
water district has the same rating
also Pennington Village Corporation
but in the case of the first thirteen
places mentioned the entire town is
included.
This rating is made after care
full study of all towns and cities in
Maine. No conditions were found
which justified assigning any munich
pality to the A grade. Bangor and
fOTLiduu Wcit tldopTo a. ~ U'iN
the towns and cities not enumerated
above with Skowhegan were classed
in the d grade or worse. These
cIassifications are based purely on
the quality of the fire protection and
the result is really quite fattering to
Skowhegan as 1t will be noted that
only Bangor and Portland are given
a higher rank while very many towns
and cities of considerable size are
ranked below us.
The Skowhegan Water Co is some
what elated by the report while the
Skowheean Fire Department and
those who have in years past given
their time and energy to build VI
an efficient fire fighting organization
are naturally well pleased.
